Lots of typical sweets, products and snacks from Portugal. My son and I had Caldo Verde soup - rich and creamy. It really hit the door on a cool afternoon. We shared a Doce de Belêm dessert - we devoured this thing in 15 seconds. So good! I had a coffee with foamed mild and it was great. This may not be the place you want to stop for a big meal but it's perfect for coffee and snacking!

Absolutely love this shop, awesome selection of Indian and Ayurvedic herbs, spices, beauty…read moreproducts, health supplements, incense, carious decorations, and everything in between! The staff is friendly and helpful incase you have any questions and the prices are totally fair in my opinion. I absolutely love their activated charcoal toothpaste (3.45 euro) Its the best toothpaste I have ever used. They also have neem in several formats, dry leaves, powder and oil. The incense selection is quite big with the same scents from a few manufacturers. They have copper mugs and travel bottles. The store itself is not so huge but its definitely packed with a large variety. I will absolutely be back here and I totally urge you to check it out and have a look, don't be afraid to try something new!

A real spice wonderworld, Velan is my go-to shop which I'm craving anything with a kick…read more My mom and I recently went there with a full list of ingredients to buy for a Green Thai Curry Shrimp dish she wanted to make, and they had everything (except the shrimp) and despite our big purchases the total bill came to just over 10E. Shopping at Velan is always an educational experience as well. There are so many amazing foods to discover, and often finding the ingredients in French can be a challenge if you're used to the name in English. For example, we had to ask three different people where the dried Kaffir lime leaf was (it's feuilles de kokumba in French) since we had no idea what it was called. It was actually another shopper that steered us in the right direction.

I found the small store to be very well stocked with similar prices as monoprix/franprix which was awesome, as in the states, convenience-store like places are usually much higher.
