Royal River Natural Foods - Freeport

A great place to grab a bite to eat. Though it is a health food store, they have a small kitchen that prepares fresh soups and sandwiches daily. The FBLT is a Fakin Bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich with Veganaise and is vegan. They usually have a vegan soup option as well. In addition to the kitchen items there are many vegan and vegetarian options throughout the store. Grab a bite while sitting in the little dining area in the front of the store! Nice place!

They have the ingredients for vegan recipes like other foods. in contrast to other food shops, they do not have to spend an hour looking for vegan ingredients, prefabricated meals, vegan snack food, etc. another detail is that, while the hot bar has the best burritos of the world, the hot bar is not open at the weekend. updated by previous review on 2022-05-01

As a local vegan, I wish to support Royal River, but I often find that it doesn’t quite meet my needs. Its selection of vegan options is quite limited, with very few vegetarian-friendly soups, sushi, sandwiches, and so on. Additionally, it doesn’t offer almond or cashew milk. Other food shops in the area have a wider range of vegetarian-friendly products. Given that it is a health food store, I expected to see more vegan and vegetarian choices available.

Thank you for the delicious hummus wraps! We would love to see vegan breakfast sandwiches on our next visit.

I've been fortunate to live in large metropolitan areas with markets that offer plenty of healthy, natural, and vegan options, so I have a lot to compare. Overall, I think this restaurant has a great selection of vegan choices, including some unique items I've never encountered before! However, I found the prices to be generally higher than what I'm used to in the Baltimore area.
