Purple Porch Food Co-op

Walked in one day to see what it was all about. Two youngish female employees both looked directly at me. Turned their noses up, never said a word. Doesn’t make a person want to even see what they have.

The best selection of healthy, organic products and they have a great bulk food/spices section. They also have great gifts made by local artisans!

Their kitchen made us the most delicious Vegan and GF Vegan breakfast burritos for our work event! When we picked them up they were super hot and freshly made just for us. They have the most delicious foods and can accomodate so many dietary needs. I hope to work with them again in the future!

My son and I look forward to every Friday for our after work/school treats from here on our way home. There aren't many places we can go to (at least conveniently or quickly) for not only vegan friendly but allergy friendly foods. My son and I look forward to our visits and every employee we have met has been so pleasant and helpful. I love the house made breakfast burritos and wraps to grab and go too. Grateful a place like this exists.

Update 3/28/22: I made my annual visit and I still can’t believe how perfect this store is! The nicest employees and a template for what I hope my local coop will offer once it opens. Books, fair trade decor, blankets, the cutest Easter gift baskets, candles, the coziest sweatshirts, gluten-free vegan treats, the tastiest curried cashew hummus, kombucha offerings I’ve seen nowhere else, and gf & v hot soup. Okay, they also carry my favorite raw chocolate (Rawmio out of Illinois, not carried at ANY other health food store I’ve been to) and local moisturizers made by the Soapy Gnome and Sai Shakti. *Bernie 👀 has been relocated to the bathroom, causing me a mini heart palpitation when I forgot about him until I noticed him over my shoulder while washing my hands. 😳 Oh my word! I stopped in on the way to my Airbnb and couldn’t have made a better decision! Bernie greeted me, beautiful fresh flowers and plants, lovely candles and coffee and vegan, gluten free, sugar free jam (which I’ve never seen for sale in all for my travels) and all the things I’d ever need to enjoy my little mini road trip for work. I’d stay in South Bend again anytime as long as I can visit the Purple Porch!
