Natural food stores wants vegan deli suggestions

[Guest guest]

Hi all

 

New Leaf Community Market opened in Half Moon Bay in June. New Leaf is basically a natural foods chain like Whole Foods, but smaller, in that it has a couple of stores in the Santa Cruz area and now this one in HMB.

 

Anyways, they have 2 areas where they sell prepared foods. One is a "hot salad bar" and the other is a chilled case with prepared foods (it's maybe 25% vegetarian and another 25% vegan). They also sell hot soups, and usually 1 or 2 of the 4 are vegan. Chris and I are there at the store a lot, and they're asking us for suggestions for vegan food items for the deli area.

 

So, I thought I could leverage the collective opinions/insights of other veggie people for suggestions. Any ideas?

Good Earth in Fairfax has a very fairly large vegan/veg hot and cold

food bar. For the next 3 minutes I thought the food bar was totally

vegetarian until I saw a small section of non-veg at the end (on a hot

metal shelf).

 

When I was there all their hot soups were vegan.

 

overall for the past 4 years they've added a lot more vegan selections

You might not have to reinvent the wheel, someone's been perfecting and

modifying the menu for the past 5 years.

 

Since the food is high quality, expect to pay a bit more for it

 

I think it's like $5 to $6 a lb.

 

This is a ballpark figure, 60% vegan 30% veg 10% non-veg

If you can make vegan food taste good, EVERYONE will buy it cause

there's no dietary restrictions....

 

(I can't buy a lot of Amy's Organics new products cause they contain

cheese. I " ve already wrote to them, .....about that....pls also tell

them how you feel too..)

 

 

oh yea, they got vegan pizza,

which they are sort of famous for....

 

I just have a feeling it might be as good as Fellini's and other " pizza

joints "

 

sign, winnie,

I was there last month
