Dollar Tree Dollar Store
Vegan at the Dollar Store A few items of interest, including Just Mayo!
Chef Ernesto’s Samosas, Veggie Burgers, and Battered Mushrooms
Doorganics
I haven’t done a review in a blog post yet since so far I’ve only had produce delivered, but I definitely recommend checking this out if you live in the greater Grand Rapids area. Organic produce delivered right to your door, and they’re working on expanding other offerings as well. So far there isn’t much else for vegans besides some salads from the deli and a few snacks, but keep checking back! This is very convenient for people that want to cut down on shopping time.
Harvest Health Foods
Blog post coming soon! But both locations stock organic produce, dried goods, and spices, and tons of vegan treats and faux foods.

Excellent list— I’m going to keep this in mind the next time I visit GR! One suggestion: Have you checked out Bartertown Diner in downtown yet? They have a great selection of vegan food and desserts: http://www.bartertowngr.com/

Bartertown Diner is 100% Vegan … the others, aside from Little Africa, are not. Please add it.

I’ll add it as soon as I have a review! I’ve actually tried to do it twice, but it’s so dark in there I haven’t been able to get good pictures. I will try again soon :)

If by chance you want to meet me there, I’ll treat … I’ve supply locally foraged wild mushrooms to Bartertown for a few years now … and thus have a huge credit. In either case, it needs to be on your site! :)
The pizza place next door (formerly CVLT Pizza) is also excellent, with lots of Vegan options. It was renamed The Pizza Experiment and now has a slightly different approach, and decor … it actually opens today (I was there yesterday supplying some dehydrated locally foraged mushrooms … was given a pizza to try … best pizza, by far, in town). This is a perfect place for you to review for “Pizza Week” … I’ve got credit there too, so let me know. :)

That is awesome! I’ve heard about the “mushroom guy” :) You’re famous! I’m not sure if I’ll be able to go out for pizza because I have so much cheese to use up this week, but I will definitely keep this in mind! If not for pizza week, maybe after Lent. That is so cool :D

Sounds great and I’m looking forward to it! You might consider joining our foray group as well if you like mushrooms and want to learn to forage them on your own … http://www.meetup.com/grmushrooms
