Many of us remember the days when there were fewer vegan online stores than you could count on one hand, but today, it seems like they’ve become a world unto themselves. Not only is the range of vegan products growing every day, it seems like the number of stores that sell them is also increasing year by year.
From food and snack items to clothing and shoes, household and cleaning supplies, and even vegan treats for your nonhuman friends, the range of items that can be found at these virtual supermarkets might leave you wishing they had a brick-and-mortar location right in your town! With the emergence of more vegan online outlets, customers can know they will find their favorite products, including items which may not always be available at more mainstream stores, whether in-person or online. As an added bonus, shopping directly at a vegan online store is a great way to learn about the latest in new vegan products.
Not sure where to start on your online ordering journey? Each vegan online outlet is a little different, with variation in product lines and brands that they stock, so it’s worth shopping around a few of them if you can’t find what you’re looking for right away. We’ve got you covered with details on eight of the top-rated vegan online stores for groceries and household items to best suit your needs.
Vegan Essentials
Vegan Essentials is the “OG” that many of us remember from way back, so it always feels good to support them as one of the first to provide the vegan community with an online shopping location. Not only does Vegan Essentials have roots in vegan history, this site continues to hold its own right here in 2022. Winning the prize of ‘Best Vegan Online Store/Grocer from 2005-2020,’ Vegan Essentials is a great contender on our list of vegan online stores you should check out. Aside from food, Vegan Essentials also supplies apparel, household and cosmetic items, as well as animal and garden supplies.
Vegan Black Market
This online market has two goals: to make sure everyone has access to vegan options, and to reduce our overall carbon footprints by having people get all their shopping done in one place–and delivered to their door. Vegan Black Market ensures that vegan products are more accessible in smaller, rural towns and also offers discounts on bulk orders under their “Bundle & Save” section.

With a points system to ensure more savings and a price-match guarantee, and a selection of over 3000 vegan products (!) Vejii’s benefits are hard to beat.

Plant Based Grocery
If you’re looking to step away from bulk shopping, Plant Based Grocery has what you need! Originating in Dallas, Texas, this locally based grocer now ships nationwide. Focusing on small-batch and small businesses, Plant Based Grocery encourages its consumers to support local shops, and helps them do so!
