There are still a lot more restaurants I want to talk about, but today I want to take a little break from that and talk about shops in Bangkok where we are finding fun vegan food.
Baimiang is one of the shops we like to stop by frequently.
Although their selection does seem to focus mostly on relatively “healthy” food, it’s not a vegan store, so you do need to check the ingredients of each item to make sure what you are getting makes sense for your diet.
My husband likes to get this granola from this shop.
There are several different flavors, but this earl grey tea one is his favorite.
We’ve also tried this vegan brownie.
It was not overly sweet, and it was moist, chocolaty, and very good.
My only complaint was the size; it was quite small (well, to be fair everything seems small when you come from the U.S.!).
I will definitely get this again.
This is a chain store, and I’ve seen at least two locations in the Ekkamai area, including the one inside Gateway Mall.

Lemon Farm is a larger store, which is probably categorized as a small grocery store.
Again, it is not a vegan store, but there are a lot of fun vegan items here.
I really liked this store.
When we had a question, staff tried to explain things in English using the translation function on their cell phone, while keeping a smile on their face the whole time.
They were so sweet!
Here are a few things we found interesting at the store.
Organic Matcha Coconut Ice Cream.
This looked and sounded good!
Vegan yogurt in glass jars!
Plant-based meat.
I’ve never seen this brant, so it’s probably not available in the U.S.
I’m always skeptical about mass-produced vegan meat, but if the ingredients are good, I will try them.
Organic Pumpkin Bread.
This looked good too.
I’m a sucker for anything with pumpkin :).
These are some of the things we bought.
I eat oatmeal for breakfast every morning, and I was happy to see they sold whole oats, because some grocery stores only sell instant/quick oats.
We’ve been there twice already within a week, and I have a feeling that we will be going there regularly.

We found this cute shop when we went to the vegan restaurant, Kynd Kulture, I talked about in my previous post.
It’s in the same building.
I believe the staff said everything in the store was vegan.
We didn’t spend a lot of time here because we were too full after lunch (!), but I would love to pay closer attention to their selection next time we go.
