Jordan Valley - Edinburgh, City of

Close to Edinburgh uni and has lots of chilled vegan options for take away lunch, sweet and savoury! Also a huge range of tea and dry goods, great for stocking up!

On my sister 's last day in Edinburgh and on her way to the airport, I took her to visit this tea store this morning at 10:00 sharp. Since it seemed to be not open yet (although the working hours are from 10:00) we lightly knocked on the door to attract the attention of the people inside. What happened next was a very young man with a long hair, obviously a worker of this place, opening the door, blocking our way inside and yelling at us in a disrespectful and unfriendly manner. He screamed something along the lines of don 't you dare touch the door again, we are not open yet and when we asked when will the store be open because we were on our way to the airport and wanted to buy a lot of tea gifts for our friends and family, he started raising his voice again. He continued repeating you can go inside only when I tell you to go inside, don 't touch the door yourselves , nudging us to leave the store 's door front, which we eventually did. We don 't usually leave negative reviews but this was a really unpleasant and embarrassing situation, especially because she was my guest in Edinburgh and her experience was an amazing one before this morning. Prior to this situation I was a very loyal buyer at the Jordan Valley tea shop and I had enjoyed many times the hospitality of an elderly and a very friendly person working there. However, the young man 's behavior this morning was odd to say the least and this is definitely not the way people should be treated where they want to spend their money. For all the reasons mentioned above, I will not buy tea in this store anymore. The purpose of this review was to warn others of how disrespectful unfortunately they are and suggest you go to some other tea shop.

Good shop with a variety of vegan products, including vegan baklava, cheeses and chocolate. They also have freshly made falafels and their own pates and dips. Any food which is about to go out of date is given for free when you purchase other things in store.

The store has vegan cheeses, kombuchas, etc. all at decent prices. I was the only one in the store while on a work call with employees, and the reception in the store was bad. Went to pay for a drink and the young guy at the counter said, like a passive aggressive teenager, that he wouldn’t serve me bc I was on the phone. Skip here and go to Real Foods.

They have a very good selection of ready to eat things that are healthy. Very convenient! Also, there are many other interesting items that you cannot find in other heath food shops.
