I always find this place a little strange — though very interesting and intriguing. It is an unusual 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.
