Central Co-op is a full-service, community-owned grocery store that emphasizes organic, natural, and sustainable food production. They support small, local farmers, vendors, and makers, and anyone can shop there without needing to be a member.
The service, food quality, and prices have improved a lot over the past year, and there are many great options for vegetarians. Customers love the seasonal, farm-fresh choices, the wide selection of high-quality, organic, and tasty bulk items, including an extensive tea selection, granolas, spices, and even organic candy.
The store also offers a variety of unique and wonderful gift items that are easy to get lost in. It's a convenient one-stop shop for natural and organic food, supplements, and eco-friendly items, with Trader Joe's nearby.
Customers appreciate the availability of local produce, the option to bring their own containers for bulk items, and the friendly staff. Becoming a member offers additional benefits, and the overall consensus is that Central Co-op is an organic, high-quality, and fabulous resource for the community.
Best shopping here happens at night when the vibe is chill and one can shop peacefully without too much distraction for all the great products, many of which are hardly available other places.

Genuinely the best grocery store in the city. Exceptional beer selection, top tier produce and bulk foods, and the staff is friendly and makes you feel comfortable.
I know if I move out of the neighborhood, I’ll still make the pilgrimage to come visit.
Keep it up Central Coop!

The only grocery store on the hill I enjoy entering and that doesn't immediately make me feel alienated (every time)
