North Coast Co-op

The hot lunch & soup options can be hit or miss depending on the day. Can very between really good and kind of awful. Nice location. Parking can be a challenge during lunch hour. Nice salad bar, but could use a better selection of salad dressings. Usually only offer ranch and balsamic vinegar *sigh*.

Incredibly disrespectful, humiliating and unaccommodating staff. I have a serious medical condition that impacts my ability to wear a mask. I was maintaining my social distancing space and minding my own business in the store with my 10 month old infant. I was chased down and repeatedly be-rated for not wearing a mask, and I politely explained my condition. I told them I’d “conditionally accept” the terms of mask wearing if they’re willing to assume full liability for my health while in their store, which they of course refused. Their “reasonable” accommodation was to use the store during specific hours (that did not work for my schedule), or wear a “face sheild” which they do not provide but I must track down myself to buy groceries. Which is complete absurd looking and humiliating. Cool, humiliate to accommodate—
And their reasons were “to protect their staff”... what about protecting your customers health when they have a known medical condition that wearing a mask in contraindicated?! This is absolutely insanity, discrimination, and down right coercion to comply with frankly unconstitutional —violating my human rights to by my own damn groceries without being ridiculed, disrespected, and humiliated in the process. I’m sorry but that is NOT reasonable accommodation and I hope you’re ready for a lawsuit.

We love the soup, salad, and hot bar. Those combined with the sandwich counter help tons when your on the go and need a healthy option that is not fast food. My family stops here and at the one in Arcata often for meals not just shopping. One of the members of our family is wheat free and two others are dairy free, they always have food to meet all our needs.

Well me an my family shop all the time at the co-op by us an we are looking to move up north as soon as we can my husband is working on a big project with his company on the trees that burnt up in a fire he went in for some dinner he was well dressed an was holding a few things looking at beer labels for me he had no way to grab anything but a lady came up saying he stole a beer he had no way of holding anything els ( my husband is Hispanic) there was 2 other men before him that were white but they were not well groomed nor kept an they were around the beers as well if you can’t keep your opinions to your self you should not work with the public we will not be shopping here at this location I will not support a place that lets this happen

The Co-Op sells organic produce, bins of organic nuts, grains, dried fruits, great cheeses and meats, fresh baked breads, pies and cookies, and organic, pasture-raised meats. You can even make your own almond butter! The Co-op is a bit more expensive, but customers rely on their clean, local produce and healthy selection of foods. I rely on the monthly 5 percent off, and Senior Day every Tuesday for additional discounts.

Nice but overpriced. Great for trust funds, pot growers.
In all seriousness, it has many different products, the staff is friendly, and it is staple of Humboldt County.

Great selection of organic foods, eco-friendly products, and local options. Their deli is great for quick, handmade options as well as many different options of local coffees ready for pour-and-go. Check the Mermaid Sushi counter for tasty hand-rolled sushi.

Great place for bulk foods, dairy, produce, meats, deli. Plus good friendly service. Masks required during Covid-19. Social distancing enforced, and limited number of people allowed in. Special hour for at risk persons first thing in the morning.

One of my favorite grocery stores! Great selection of produce and a killer bulk section. They also have some nice discount sections if you know where to look

It's not for people of color if you are sensitive to prejudice. They show how ignorant some caucasian people are. It's actually embarrassing for me to go there cos I am a person of color.
