They stock all the things you'd expect - nakd bars, vitamins, supplements, nuts, seeds, tinned foods and lots of items in the "free from" category. I was pretty impressed by the pricing as well, as I didn't think it was too bad - certainly not that much different from supermarket prices. I grabbed a bottle of apple cider vinegar and some cashew nut butter. Service was ok - not overly friendly, but not rude either. I hadn't realised that Jan de Vries had quite a lot of shops around the place so it's perhaps more of a chain than expected. But all up, it's a nice wee health shop if you're looking for some more obscure foods.

From the owner: Welcome to the Jan de Vries store in Glasgow Shawlands! We stock everything from herbal teas,…read moresnacks and health foods to supplements and herbal remedies. You'll find a great range here, as well as some exciting up-and-coming brands, so pop-in and explore! We are happy to source products we don't already stock - just ask.

Not as big as the H&B in town, but plenty reduced items and nice people working there.read more

Ohhhh what a lovely shop! I knew I had to visit ASAP and I was very impressed with the set up…read morealready - they've only been open a week. Primarily, this is a bulk-food store where you can buy beans, rice and lentils in any quantity you want and take away in a paper bag. As Ema Č said, the store is rustic but yet very welcoming, the girl in the shop was very chatty and helpful. In addition to the bulk foods, there is fresh bread baked by Freedom Bakery, a fridge with a small amount of stuff (as well as vegan options like cheese and tofu) and a cupboards section with tea, coffee and sauces etc. Overall, I thought the shop was great and I couldn't leave without buying a few things to take him - crunchy muesli, coconut flakes, a loaf of sourdough and a wee pastry came to just over £5. Staff are helpful and friendly, there is a good range and a relaxed vibe. Definitely worth visiting!

It sells everything from pulses to coffee to honey - I'm a big fan of Ed's bees from Pollokshields - and home cleaning products to shampoos. They also have coffee to go but as I don't drink coffee I haven't checked out the prices. Yes it's not cheap, but in this instance you do get what you pay for.

Have I told you how much I love greengrocers? They make me healthy and full of life, and make me…read moreforget that I usually can't really be bothered eating a lot of fruit. Citrus Green is no exception. Their rows of fruit spill out onto pavement tables. I like this too, I think it makes me feel that the shop is bountiful (I said it). The bright colours always manage to entice me in. There are some not bad deals, but it isn't the cheapest greengorcer I've been in. As well as the fruit and veg, there is also a little chiller with milk, yoghurt etc. The guys in the shop are only too happy to help, and found some corn on the cob for me when I had a case of moronicity and couldn't find it.

Allison Street is the home of the vegetable shop: there are so many to choose from. Citrus Green is…read moreone of the best: many of the others are, frankly, a bit grubby, and this one manages to have a good stock without having a smell of rotting fruit. Since they serve the Asian community, there are plenty of rare items hidden above the onions, and the ubiquitous plain yogurt is in the cold cabinet. People do drive here from all over Glasgow- expect to see Mercedes incongruously parked outside. This is the greengrocers of my choice, even now I have moved away from the immediate area.

I always find this place a little strange - though very interesting and intriguing. It is an…read moreunusual combination of an organic food shop or groceries and a florist. This is something, which even I in my hunting out of new, emerging places (for this read: good reviews and interesting concepts; but in reality up themselves, expensive and out of business in six months) have not come across before. So for this factor alone, it's worth having a nosey and seeing what you make of it. They do have some yummy organic treats in here, some a little bit different and some which any foodie will have encountered at some point before. I say this, because of my experience of working in a deli/roll shop in Pollokshields for a year and witnessing the rise of organic product - especially in the pickled, dried and erm, similar forms. Meanwhile, they have a small but very nice selection of flowers on offer. Though, I would rather purchase a pot plant, so don't really rate these with too much enthusiasm. The staff in here have got to be one of the best things are this place. They are very friendly, pleasant and chatty. It's clear they know their stock very well and also have a good understanding and knowledge of their wider market area. The prices are not to bad for some products considering they are organic, but I still find them a little too much. Although, this is coming from a part-time (and temporarily) employed student.
