Great spot for a variety of natty foods, good breads, and really nice and affordable produce. Salad bar and grab and go foods are really tasty. Staff and volunteers have always been super friendly to me.

Absolutely wonderful place to shop. Their selection of high quality food is outstanding. The staff is exceptionally friendly and the entire operation is clearly dedicated to respecting people and food. Membership is cheap and well worth it.Update: still amazing. Great selection of produce. The fresh local bread is wonderful.Update: don't forget the bread and fresh food!

This co-op is a gem in Olympia. they always have friendly service, and are always willing to help you find stuff. Even though it’s a little cramped for a supermarket, it’s quite well stocked. The produce cannot be beat. And the offerings in the refrigerated case is great. They have a good selection of earth, friendly, coffee as well.

There was a mixed bag of products that asked to be questioned, and unfortunately I ended up having to deal with a simpering millennial. The sad thing is, that I may not go back there because of this. This millennial was rude, and could not understand the data I was trying to impart. I dealt with a tall young man at the cash register who was very friendly and very pleasant. So I am in two minds

Stereo typing customers and a little snotty as well. They are also not friendly to the local street people, looking down on them with disgusted loathing. They no longer allow them to fill their water jugs and often tend to chase them off when spotted. Not understanding that the unhoused people of Olympia are not just going to disappear, they are not a problem that can be made to go away without the help of the community.

The co-op stocks their shelves with products from local businesses and when they choose non local business they're very particular about who they choose to support. I feel assured that my money is well spent here. That's just the beginning of why I love shopping here

This is the best food coop in the country. They honor out of town coop memberships unlike all other food coops I have ever been to.

I told the cashier three weeks ago to plan because she complained to me without me asking, while checking out, about her being in low energy.It’s three weeks now and I come for milk and just witnessed them plotting against me, dangling it in directly in my face using covert narcissistic strategies; malicious gossip, emotional manipulation through kindness & positional pleasantries, group stalking & taking tabs on all my mannerisms my whereabouts & what my purchases are, strictly building a system around me with the agenda to make me show negative emotions react like a monster and be in low spirits in order to frame my life into there false narratives about me in there malicious gossip about me being these things I am not because they get all these ideas about me from blindly self projecting who they are onto me.I say one thing and you people turn it into an act of evil.I plan.You people plot.Does everyone see the difference?I have to speak like this because I know without a doubt and for a fact by these imposed chats within the vulnerabilities seen within the customer needing to checkout through one of these creatures. How clever can you people be if I am watching the entire time and see right into your person? But you people think you’re being clever. You are only being evil. You people are plotting for my distress and suffering. Me, an innocent bystander. Make it make sense. It does not.Someone’s fake. I’m not dealing with you. It’s not illegal for me to mind my own business. It’s not illegal for me to shop and defend myself. I don’t care for you people giving me the evil eye when I go shopping. Nobody is allowed to be nice to me just because your death magic spells and plotting did not work on me. That’s just called being an opportunist. I have been told about all the death spells, dark magic, and speaking of the expectation of my unaliving me and my downfall in parallel with the malicious gossip and community stalking over me.All of this is a conscious act against me by my name and my whereabouts, in order to defame my character with the agenda to steal my energy; consisting of my identity.Kindness is not a strategy.Kindness is a way of life.I Hereby cut-off the cords of any oppressor who stands against me in an order to alienate me and kill me off, weaponizing there position of work at any business I shop to—as a position to attack me and monitor me—for this fantasy of my personal demise being shared still in this community but being acted upon beyond just fantasy, specifically rooted between the locals shopping and the cashiers and cash handlers too who are wearing more than one hat to fulfill the transaction at hand these business entities between the business and the customers, from being in my energy; I call judgment on you—The scales must be balanced by the laws of the universe.

I’ve been having the best experiences in this store, the first time I came in like a year ago, I had a pretty bad experience but they have stepped up the warmness. I really appreciate that they are kind and welcoming. I feel more comfortable shopping in here and love all their products. I came in looking for a local goat cheese and they explained to me that they usually have it but it seems they could be out of stock, a beautiful man assisted me in finding an alternative cheese and we talked for a bit. It was great to experience the feeling they portray on the website. I will continue shopping here for high quality products

It's the co-op, you have hipster people by buying natural stuff I'm $300 jackets driving Subarus or Prius. But they have odd stuff and a great selection of bulk spices.

Great co-op and kind, helpful staff. Terrific selection, especially for those with food allergies or looking for healthier options.

Great selection of hard kombuchas & other weird beverages at not obscene prices. Mostly cool crew working here, to boot. Their bulk bins are great.Minus one star just cos most prices are Whole Foods-esque overall. Bummed they don’t have the red cedar hard kombucha anymore! But they still have lots of great items & esp the aforementioned bulk section is glorious.

I’ve really tried to support this place because I prefer local businesses and like co-ops. The checkout process is ridiculously slow (think “post office” level slow), I just get too frustrated spending the same amount of time checking out as I did shopping. They wait until the lines are 5-7 people deep before adding another checker which might not sound too bad if it didn’t take a good 5+ minutes to check out each person regardless of how much they’re purchasing. I realize there are a lot of volunteers, I tried to have patience for a few years, actually, but can only do so much.

Wonderful co-op. I'll write my little grocery list, on paper, with a pen, and figure I'll need to go to a couple stores at least to get all the stuff I need. I've done a few times, and then I go to The Coop first, end up getting everything I need right there ! Great selection. Love the natural choices and everything. Power to the people 🏵️

Fresh stuff looked great, slightly higher rices than I was expecting to pay. Bulk eggs were so pale I think someone needs to do a wellness check on those chickens.Staff was extremely friendly to me, and I loved the plants

A community-oriented grocery store with all the organic goodness your little heart desires.

The selection honestly is not that great. Not many options for fresher, healthier food, mostly prepared/processed food and junk food (but it’s organic!). Insanely high prices too. You can occasionally find some unique items though and produce that they have is quality. Staff was not rude but not friendly—that seems to be Olympia’s overall vibe though.

Small co-op but carries all the usual suspects for groceries. I was under the impression they had a hot bar and sandwich bar but I only saw a salad bar. I could have been misinformed. That said, they carry many locally made products and has a really good bulk section.

Over time, this has become my first stop for groceries, here. Vegetables are consistently fresh and the selection of locally sourced and organic food is great. The bulk bins turn over quickly so the contents are pretty fresh.
