Calgary Co-op Monterey Food Centre is a convenient and friendly neighbourhood grocery store. It is described as very nice, well-managed, and the nicest Co-op in Calgary, with wonderful and helpful staff. The store offers a great selection of specific items like Kicking Horse coffee and desserts that are praised for not being too sweet. It features a bakery with fresh-baked treats, a deli with prepared foods, a butcher offering quality local meats, and produce from local growers. However, the store is on the smaller side with a limited selection and prices are noted as a little high. Some experiences with fresh produce, like apples, have been disappointing due to poor quality.
I went to buy 6 apples and I was very disappointed. It was hard to pick an apple that wasn't rotten. I went home with 2 and they weren't very good either.
