Jarr Market - Zero-waste shop Stoke Newington

Nice place and I like to see more of these shops around as they offer a lot and in a way that minimises waste. There are other little things here that are hard to find in the area so that’s also great. However, unlike other loose/bulk shops this one doesn’t clearly list where the foods come from. Of course I’m sure they are happy to say where they come from but I’m curious about all the foods I buy for ethical reasons, so it would be nice to have each item labelled like other shops do, so my self and others don’t have to always ask. Cost is very reasonable for this kind of place. That aside it’s a 5 star.

Great potential but doesn't stock organic products consistently (it has mostly non-organic products with a sprinkling of organic ones). It's also missing other staples like bio washing liquid and overall is more expensive than other zero-waste shops (despite the products not being organic). Staff are mostly pleasant but not particularly helpful or informed. I wish this could be my go-to refill shop but unfortunately it falls short on key things.

This place is absolutely dreamy. They’ve got everything from snacks and grains to cleaning liquids and toiletries. And its all waste free, from ethical providers. The friendly staff and the well curated look and feel make for a really lovely experience. Some of my favourite products: cacao butter deodorant, vegan fizzy gummies, giant couscous and their lavender rosemary shampoo.

Love the concept and the store I shop there regularly and the pricing is super fair. However the beauty section refills are not hygienic and should not be sold in this way. The large vats/ containers are dusty and could spread bacteria, the refill spoon for them are also not cleaned or disinfected, to be on the safe side I would reconsider selling beauty products in this way. Def would not purchase any of the beauty refills or coconut oil - again the vat and spoon are dusty and dirty.
