Finally an organic / eco grocery store in the city center !…read more I already went to the one in Wipkingen, but it is to far to always go there. Now you can do it all in the city. You can really do all your shopping here if you want. The staff is friendly, but I expected a bit more of enthusiasm, the store is brand new so a bit of more joy would be nice :) The great thing is here, you can taste everything. They have at every corner something to try out. I ended up buying more then what I was looking for. Really happy they made it till the city !

I'm so glad Alnatura opened in the middle of the city! Best place for organic groceries in Zurich!…read morePrices are unbeatable, pretty and clean store with plenty of samplings!

This is a great organic store. It is part of a chain and are all equally as nice. Employees are…read morevery friendly. This one always has everything in stock. The store is clean and bright. If you want organic dried fruits, rice, almond or coconut milk, vegan cheeses, and a wide variety of other organic items, this place is for you. The pricing is hit or miss. Some stuff is average price and some is expensive but you live in Switzerland now, get used to it. They do have a small fresh baked goods section but I cannot confirm the source of baking.

The veggies aren't cheap, but they're pretty tasty. We stopped in on a post-hike grocery run,…read morehoping to find a less crowded alternative to the ShopVille Migros. We did, but not by a lot. Moving around the store was much more pleasant, but the line at the register was still significant --- and there wasn't much space up front, leading to a somewhat tangled set of lines. A fine alternative, but not much of a win.

My favorite health food store in the Zurich area!…read more They have the best selection. You can find soy milk and organic foods and tea and coffee, and basic gluten-free items in lots of places, but this the only place where you can find several kinds of miso paste (including my favorite, Genmai miso, which is barley- rather than soy-based), a variety of raw chocolate bars, and such a fantastic selection of nuts and dried fruits of all sorts! They have much more, but these are some of the items I com here for, that cannot be found elsewhere. They also have flour mills, wheat grass juicers and so forth, and when I came to inquire about prices and models the shop assistant was incredibly helpful, called the company and everything while I was standing right there - this may not seem like much if you are not used to the general grumpiness of shop assistants in Zurich, especially around the Bahnhofstrasse, where it often feels like asking for help is equated with wasting their time. They also have a nice selection of natural beauty products and cosmetics, and a section dedicated to natural remedies, which I find really cool because it makes this place more or less a one-stop-shop for clean living!

My wife and I went into the store for local cheese and local bread. We were greated by a sales…read moreclerk who was very pleasant and spoke English very well. He was very kind and helpful offering us tastes of cheese that he thought we would like. The selections he recommended of cheese and bread were excellent!! I regret that this will probably be the only time we visit this store because we are not from the area but if I lived here this would be one of my favorite places to visit and we just happened to walk past it on our way back from Old Town. I wish I had taken photos of the cheese and bread and our great sales clerk.

I'd heard great things about this place from a friend who enjoyed the food so much they went 3…read moretimes in their stay in Zurich, forgoing their other restaurant plans. However, we were a bit disappointed in the taste of the food. We'd tried 2 other self-serve buffet-style plant-based places in Zurich and Lucerne and were very impressed, so maybe we went in with high expectations. The selection is smaller than the other restaurants we tried, and the dishes just didn't have my preferred textures and flavors. The dishes certainly seemed healthier since there was basically no fried food, but the protein they used (tofu, seitan, etc) didn't quite hit the spot. They only had a tiramisu for dessert which had a strange aftertaste. I think it is still a decent vegan option in Zurich, and prices were comparable. Maybe the experience depends on personal preferences, but I personally wouldn't feel like going again unless in a pinch. They do have a nice little store area with vegan products and a wonderful variety of gelato/sorbet flavors. I did really enjoy the passion fruit and stracciatella gelato! They had a new dragonfruit flavor that was good but tasted like cotton candy rather than dragon fruit. The staff were friendly, and the restaurant itself is beautiful and has plenty of seating!

Vegelateria is another vegetarian/vegan buffet option in Zurich. There are both an ample amount of…read moreoptions to choose from, as well as an ample space for small or larger groups. Being a buffet, the service is pretty minimal, but the team was helpful intro-ing my partner and I to the setup, as well as settling up at the end. While buffet meals tend to get a little blurry in my recollection, some of my favourite options in the trays were the indian style dishes, as well as the more fermented foods. If I hadn't filled up on the buffet, I would have really liked to try their gelato. If it's a warm day, leave room for dessert! As all places in Zurich, it is very pricey but if you've already had a couple meals elsewhere it perhaps won't be as much of a sticker shock.
