Supermarket 😅 - Edit
A supermarket with many vegan choices and a wide organic range. More choices than EkoPlaza but also more expensive. Organic fruits and veggies are also available at Lidl for 1/3 of the price 🫣

Yeah idk - Edit
I honestly don’t get what all the fuss is about regarding this place. Their (food)offering is nearly identical to that of your standard EkoPlaza, except for the price which is significantly higher. The staff is a lot more attentive though. You can buy cakes and other sweets from neighbouring vegetarian (but mostly plantbased) restaurant here, but so can you at the eatery itself which is a 10 second walk away. I just don’t think I would ever take a detour to visit the shop if I wasn’t going somewhere near ‘De Groene Passage’.
Read morePros: Many vegan bakery items, Friendly employees
Cons: Just a more expensive version of EkoPlaza

One of the Best organic/bio supermarket - Edit
Almost everything you need under 1 roof. Or ...should I say: multiple roofs but all connected.
Read moreWide variation. Even a restaurant at one side.
We all know that you shouldn’t expect ‘cheap’ products here. But hey, what is cheap? What’s expensive? All in the right context. However...some products are really on the top side, even compared to other spots with the same products. Same time proud it’s in my neighborhood.
Pros: Wide variation , Beautiful , Market and restaurant
Cons: Not he cheapest

Worth a visit (or more if you live in Rotterdam) - Edit
Lovely super market with a variety of vegan products you can’t find in regular supermarkets. There’s also an organic bakery and a tiny bookstore inside. I tried bringing my own containers to stock up on some nuts and dried legumes, but they will weigh the entire container at the cash register so the only way to do it (without overpaying) is to use the biodegradable bags. I’ve been told they will change the system next year, but the cashier couldn’t tell me in what way.
Read morePros: lots of vegan options, less packaging
Cons: can’t bring your own containers

Best place in town. Must go if you are in the neighborhood. - Edit
Supermarket, course centre, furniture, and fully vegan breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffet. If you ever visit Rotterdam then this place is a must-go to eat. Walking distance from the old city centre tourist attractions like the indoor market hall and Laurens church. The buffet has a wide variety of well balanced dishes. Fully Vegan and delicious. Just fill up your plate and pay for the weight on it.
Read morePros: Fully vegan, Delicious
Cons: Somewhat expensive but worth it, Often very busy (which is a good sign :-)

Massive selection but expensive - Edit
This store is HUGE. This is definitely the place to go if you're looking for any specific product that you haven't been able to find anywhere else. I could spend hours in here looking at all their different products! They especially have a great organic cosmetic section that sells products I haven't been able to find anywhere else in the Netherlands.
Read moreUnfortunately a lot of their products are overpriced; they can be found for much more reasonable prices at other stores.
Pros: Huge store, Great selection, Vast organic cosmetic section
Cons: Overpriced, Overwhelmingly large store

Huge choice - Edit
Not only is this shop enormous, it also has very generous opening hours... Besides, they tend to have discounted items, so I took the opportunity to acquire things such as spices that I had never seen before, for example mace, at very affordable prices.

By the way, the Green Passage is certainly not your average shopping mall, it's just a few shops with green ambitions under the same roof, so to speak.

My favorite supermarket in Rotterdam - Edit
I am a fan of Gimsel I love their variety of biological and Demeter ingredients. Nowadays they have a lot of vegan treats at the bakery location, and raw and vegan options are being add regularly. The location is part of the Groene Passage which on itself is a great location to visit because of the other great shops and restaurant Spirit. I have bought a saving card at Gimsel for 100 euro which gives me 6% discount on everything inside Gimsel including vitamins, make/up, super foods and offers. If you are a regular visitor and spend more than 35 euro´s a week (including the toiletries and vitamins like B12) then it is interesting to buy a card, I got a book, which I gave as a birthday present to my friend.
Read morePros: lot of vegan options, great variety, great other shops on that location

Love the bulk and faux-meat section - Edit
For vegans, this is the place to go in Rotterdam. They sell a lot of plant-based meat substitutes, and although not a health food, I love those once in a while and they are a blessing when it comes to having simple on the fly unplanned summer bbq's.
Read moreThe bulk section is something else. All the goods are bio, you don't need to buy unneeded plastic packaging and for some product it can't be found cheaper anywhere else! Especially the quinoa, it is organic and very cheap.
They have ingredients you wouldn't find anywhere else, such as keltic sea salt, black garlic, all sorts of meals. They sell different sorts of organic vegan wine without added sulphite for about 7 euros and it is a lovely wine you can safely pour your guests.
And last but not least, they sell Bonvita Rice 'magnums'.
The only cons are that they sell non-vegan items such as lots of cheese and that they have a somewhat limited vegan-ice and cheese supply which both are just stuffed between the dairy verions so you need to search. They also don't have vegan make-up at all, their Lavera assortement is really lacking and they only have Urtekram vegan toothpaste.
Pros: Special items, Great bulk department, Lots of faux-meat
Cons: Too much non-veg items, Few cheese/ice options for vegans, No vegan make-up

Gimsel - Edit
This is one of my favorite places to do my grocery shopping. Although they do sell products like dairy, they do offer a lot of vegan products. They have a pretty varied assortment of vegetables, but not as much fruit as I'd like to see. Friendly staff and plenty of products.

great buffet-style place to fill up at - Edit
The grocery store is stocked with healthy vegetarian/vegan food. The restaurant serves its meals a la buffet style: you grab a tray and serve yourself, paying at the end. The Vegan options are labeled with a "V", these comprising about half the total menu. The prices are reasonable considering the quality and selection of food available. If you have to be on Rotterdam for some reason, then this place is one I recommend.
Read morePros: good food, healthy cuisine, friendly staff
Cons: pricey

Gimsel, Rotterdam - Edit
Absolutely superb health food shop. 600 square metres, 12 000 products in the same shopping complex as a veggie cafe. A shame it's spoiled by a few non veggie offerings. Located easily within 10 mins walk of Stadhuis and Blaak metros.
Read morePros: Utterly enormous choice, Decent hours and location
Cons: Not 100% veggie
