Vegan Deva is a place where everything you purchase, from food, alcohol and coffee to cosmetics, is free of all animal products and produced without any kind of animal cruelty.
Founded by Donna Paterson, Vegan Deva is a combined shop and cafe, which means that it serves a joint social purpose. It is a place where customers can come to tuck into a delicious meal such as a panini, jacket potato or even a Budda bowl, or drink a lovely glass of alcohol or mug of coffee. But it is also a place where customers can buy retail food to take home, discover new options with a vegan cookbook, or treat themselves to some ethical cosmetics.
Founder Donna Paterson has expressed hope that Vegan Deva will have appeal to Chester residents beyond its core target demographic of vegans. Even to those who do not live this particular lifestyle, food produced entirely without animal ingredients has its appeal: it is often healthy and can be exotic and unusual. Because of this, Vegan Deva will be perfect for anybody living in or around Chester who wants to try out something a little unorthodox with their next meal, or simply sit back and enjoy a lovely warm coffee and a chat.
Something that non-vegans often fail to realise is that being a vegan is not simply a matter of choosing what to eat. Many products available on the market, including cosmetics, are produced in ways that vegans find unethical. A shop like Vegan Deva, where a range of different vegan-friendly products can be found in one place, is therefore desirable to dedicated vegans. It seems safe to say that Vegan Deva will be attracting customers not only from Chester, but also from further afield. It is a place where vegans - or anyone who simply wants an unusual meal - can come together and enjoy healthy, natural products.
