Urban Greens Co-op Market is a member-owned grocery store located in Providence's West End, open to all shoppers and accepting SNAP and WIC. The store plays a vital role in Rhode Island’s food economy by supporting local farmers and producers year-round, offering a wide range of locally sourced and culturally-appropriate produce and products. The 8,000-square-foot store is owned by over 3,600 members who enjoy discounts and participate in voting to shape the store’s offerings, ensuring it reflects the community’s needs. Customers can find prepared foods like soups, salads, bread, eggs, cheeses, meats, and vegan options. The variety includes fresh produce, hot meals, seafood, and artisanal baked goods, making it a convenient spot for quick needs or specialty items. While some reviews note that prices are on the higher side, this is understandable given the small size and focus on quality and local sourcing. The staff is described as friendly and welcoming, and the store is praised for being well-stocked, clean, and bright. Urban Greens embodies co-op values through consciously purchased products and local support, making it a trusted neighborhood market for fresh, quality foods and community engagement.
Best decision I ever made was to get a membership here, which has paid for itself in monthly discounts and membership product deals. Stellar selection of staples AND things I don't find in big groceries. Lots of local products!!!
