“While the parking lot is simply terrible (a considerable incline that causes your cart to roll away from your vehicle) and the lot is so small there is no room for cart returns, the store itself and the employees are amazing! I primarily do all of my grocery shopping here. Would recommend you check out TJ's and their reasonable prices and quality food if you haven't yet!”
“***UPDATE 2/26/26***
I was contacted by Jared about my review. When I tell you he listened and made it right. Not only did he take accountability of the situation, he apologized, offered a refund/return ( my choice) and promised to speak to the associate I spoke to at the store. This and speaking to Jared is the reason why I am changing my 1 star to 5 stars. When I went back to the store (2/22/26) the leadership was friendly and kept apologizing. The chicken I got that day was fresh and I would recommend shopping at Shamrock. I do feel they put the customer first and will make sure they fix any problems you have. Thank you Y'all

I wish I had read the fine print on their website (couldn't find anywhere else) before purchasing. Unfortunately, I ended up losing 40 pounds of chicken because the company does not offer any guarantee on refrigerated or frozen meat. This policy is buried in the fine print.That was a costly lesson for me. Buyers should definitely review the return and guarantee policy carefully before making any purchase from Shamrock Foodservice Warehouse. I know better now!”
“By far our FAVORITE place in town for tacos. It started with their food truck (just south of the restaurant and sooo good!) and then we went in to sit....we got to know the owners son who shared their "extra spicy" salsa, got some goods from the panaderia (bakery) and some tamales to go! Do yourself a favor and eat here!”
“Great place and amazing deals! 2 Zyn 6mg for only $5. Kaya was very helpful and provided me answers for all my questions. Thank you again and see you soon guys ✌️?”
“Friendly staff, good selection, great atmosphere! Angie is the best! She's been there for like ever, she worked for Steele's before, she is so helpful and friendly! The produce that she puts out is the freshest!”
“My favorite store for bulk staples like granola and dried fruit. The dried cranberries here are terrific! Excellent selection of organic produce and prepared foods. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Love that they’re open until 7p.”
“Love this place! Feels like a small town market. Bulk foods, deli and coffee shop, large health and beauty section, nice produce and meats, etc. They even have cards and a post office on site, so you can mail a card in one stop, while enjoying a coffee or delicious sandwich.”
“My hetero life partner, Dawn and myself run the roads instacarting in NOCO. Of all the Sprouts we shop in, this location has the most communicative and friendly staff. The best part is the cashier, Cassandra, she knows what we're doing and how to make the process seamless and enjoyable. I've personally started shopping here because of this individual and the staff on a whole. Keep doing what you're doing”

“Freshness You Can Feel — A Store That Cares ??”
While staying nearby, I stopped in with some health-focused goals on my mind — and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the air felt clean, the produce looked alive, and the team greeted me like I mattered. ??
Every piece of fruit and every vegetable looked freshly picked, and I could actually taste the care that went into how this store sources and handles food. Their commitment to wellness shows in every aisle — not just in what they sell, but in how they make you feel. ?
I left with a full bag, a happy heart, and a smile that stayed with me the rest of the day. Thank you, Natural Grocers Fort Collins, for reminding me that health and kindness can still be found under one roof. ?”
“This is the last man standing since they shut down all the other locations during covid, so I hope they never leave us! Such a great store. Produce is pricey but local so you get what you pay for. Lots of great grocery brands and vegan alternatives availble. Amazing beer section with the best non-alcoholic section by far. Not your thing? Try some cbd soda or kombucha for a fair price! Wish they had some more vegan bakery options, but you can’t go wrong with Abe’s”
“Very good produce section, and my favorite is the hot bar. The mushroom meatloaf is my favorite. I wish it wasn't so expensive but you get what you pay for.”
“Tamales are the best! Definitely do not cut you short on the meat like so many others. Carnitas with marinade are bomb too! Won't go anywhere else! Definitely recommend!”
“The cashier Weldon was a next level GOAT! He helped me so much. I couldn't find the apples, and he helped me! And then complimented my hoodie. This guys a massive G!”
“excellent place to shop. clean, owner is very nice, and most everything is labeled nicely, and they had a lot of the products i couldnt get anywhere else except Denver.”
“Excellent produce department. I use Safeway For U coupons weekly, which helps bring down their high prices. Cabbage @$0.89/# r/t $1.29, Romaine @$1.59 ... every little bit helps! Without these coupons I'd shop elsewhere.”
“It's convenient when you realize after buying a months worth of freezer items and get in your car just to realize your gas light is on and the closest gas station is about a mile away ...”
“I think that there shoul be more king Soopers fuel centers. Between the price of gas and food these days, who doesn't like a little incentive after spending so much on a necessity like food during the week?I received a whole quarter off my gas at the kind Soopers fuel center just for shopping and entering my phone number. Only problem is they are few and far between,yet still, it is very Much appreciated King Soopers . Now let's see more fuel centers go up ehh?”
“Always excited to go to this farmers market. Plenty of unique stands with everything that's in season plus lots of other goodies (breads, pies, tortillas, kettle corn, teas, and more). Probably the only downside for me is the location. I wish it was closer to old town and not on Harmony but at least this way they have plenty of space and parking. The MAX also doesn't run on Sundays so I have to drive or bike instead.”
“Finally stopped here to try out the tacos, and I'm so glad I did. Had the barbacoa which was great, the Al pastor was AMAZING and perfect, and the tripe which was rich and so delicious. Go here. Clean, spacious, and friendly service. Had a Fresca from the cooler to wash down the tacos and a pastry for desert. Perfect. 10/10 will be coming here again.”

“I have been shopping at this store for 20 plus years. I am so grateful for Rahul and Niki. They are amazing employees, keeping everything clean, paying attention to detail, making conversation with customers to make it a pleasant experience and making every trip I take to the store such a comfortable feeling.The prices are rising way too high, way too fast. So when the customer experience is gone, I won't be returning. But as long as the amazing employees are there, I will continue to spend my money at this store.”
“Chris helped me out with the classical rum punch ??. It was an awesome experience and he showed me the ways as I didn’t know exactly how to make one. 10/10 customer service will definitely be coming by again!”

“Couldn't be happier! Asked for a spongebob underwater themed cake, but I already had a topper since I washed it to be specific. Asked if they could just make it blue and maybe add the spongebob flowers in the different colors. They went above that and added coral and bubbles! It turned out better than I could have hoped and all my friends loved it! Def recommend their butter cream icing too because it's the best! Thanks guys!”
“This is an amazing halal market in Fort Collins , meat and chickens are fresh.The prices also are very reasonable.I recommend it to you and you wouldn’t regret it.
(Update)I want to share my experience for the amazing French fries from Egypt it was more than amazing.”
“I love this Wal-Mart. It's clean, has what I need, and I'm not bothered by sales people asking if I need help every 20 seconds. Although, I must say, my overall favorite thing about this Wal-Mart is my favorite employee, fellow Detroit Jerry. If this man is having a bad day, you could never tell. He's always very polite, helpful and kind. He takes time out of his day to help anybody, with a positive attitude, and never makes customers feel that he's annoyed or doesn't have the time for them. He makes the time for them. And Wal-Mart needs more employees like him. I'm The Wal-Mart corporation is truly blessed to have the privilege of having this man on the their team. Thank you Jerry for all you do for so many!!!!”
“Always the best experience whenever I go here. The owners are the amazing and it’s great supporting local! It’s by far the best customer service for a convenience store in town!”
“Had a five star experience tonight picking up some late night patio furniture! The woman working at the self checkout was very helpful, she then called over a manager named Natasha- who was an absolute pleasure & SO helpful! We left very happy with the whole ordeal. Thanks gals!”
“I’ve been shopping/volunteering at Vindeket for four years now and am excessively grateful FoCo has such an amazing resource. Vindeket became the linchpin to allow me to afford living in such an affluent/expensive town.
I started visiting when I began attending graduate school at CSU in 2021. Initially simply to feed my curiousity (being a fellow/frugal dumpster-diver), yet when I became food insecure due to higher-than-expected tuition fees, I frequented more in earnest. It’s kind and empowering to come gather food that would’ve been thrown away, helping negate the horrific food-waste statistics, but also selfishly gratifying to save hundreds a week on grocery bills (seriously I eat like a horse).
Despite all our donations consisting of foods past their ‘best by/sell/expiration’ date, I can attest (I am still kicking enough to type this out, no?) that after four years I’ve never had any health issues. As the website explains: use your nose and trust your gut! In fact, due to the oddities and unexpectedness of what grocery stores provide, I have access to a cornucopia of options!
Excluding two, Vindeket is run exclusively by volunteers. I won’t speak for everyone, but I endeavor to be welcoming, receptive and empathetic. However, we are only human and there are many more shoppers than there are volunteers. Thank you for your patience with us!!
Similarly, Vindeket relies heavily on donations from shoppers. If you are able to give, however little (even $1 is lovely! truly!!), we appreciate it. Please know it goes towards unavoidable bills, such as diesel and electric.
I am often doing parking lot duty, so if you see a figure with all the tats (Summer) or a flamboyant onesie (Winter) give a wave or hello! But also please know I cannot chat too long as there are many cars to direct! If you have any questions, wrangle a fellow volunteer and we will be as informative as we can.
Ultimately, Vindy is a rare bird. I am (once more) exuberantly grateful to be a part of such a worth-salt cause!”
