The Little Green Larder has been a favourite of ours for years, we originally featured it in early 2020, back when this blog was Vegan Dundee. Since then, this eco-friendly shop has evolved (with the help of a Crowdfunder earlier this year) into a great spot for a TASTY AF takeaway lunch - as the new mural says!
They still stock a fab selection of refill products, such as grains, pulses, nuts, dried fruit and other pantry essentials, alongside plastic-free household accessories and, of course, vegan pick and mix. But now, on arrival, there’s a deli counter stocked with fresh salads and daily vegan specials which aren’t to be missed.
We’ve been popping in regularly for lunch treats - the haggis nachos and breakfast burrito with homemade hash browns get a special mention, but I do love a wee salad box too. On this visit, Jillian invited* us to try a range of the specials while I took some photos of the upgraded space.
We were truly spoilt with this feast - we had a coronation haggis toastie with coronation chickpea side salad (David’s choice - he loves coronation so doubled up!), Mediterranean veg hummus focaccia roll with potato salad, a mezze box, and Thai green curry soup with fresh crusty bread (my favourite, love a warming comfort soup). Jillian also made us an incredible Oreo milkshake complete with vegan whipped cream - it was so good!
Lunch options are from around £2.95 (soup or a mini salad box) to £6.50 (sandwich with soup). You can add a tea or filter coffee for £2. The teas are lovely loose-leaf ones which you can also purchase in the shop by weight, I chose the apple dream one for its cosy seasonal vibes.
We also had a box of vegan sweet treats which were part of the Crowdfunder reward that I forgot to pick up. Inside was a banana chocolate cupcake, Oreo brownie, empire biscuit, and (an amazing) chocolate cookie sandwich. It's so great having a vegan-friendly lunch place at this end of the Perth Road - perfect for grabbing food to eat down at Magdalen Green in the warmer months.
Little Green Larder also has a fantastic pay-it-forward scheme where you can donate your loose change in store, online, or buy a lunch or hot drink voucher so someone in the community can redeem it when they're in need. They’ll also be taking part in the West End Christmas Fortnight and have monthly community soup kitchens.
