Gardiner Food Co-op

Fantastic breakfast sandwiches. Great events. Hit them up on delivery day. Great produce and baked goods!

Not only is it responsible and local, the prices here are much lower than a typical coop, sometimes even better than traditional supermarkets. The employees are super friendly too.

Sunday Jazz brunch starting at 10am is amazing -- such talented musicians, impeccable service, and local carefully sourced food and supplies...
I have been 2x recently and absolutely loved it.

A nice co-op! We stopped in for lunch and had their sandwiches. They were delicious and reasonably priced. It was fun to walk around and look at the locally made products. The bathroom was nice and clean as well.

The best local grocery and food shopping experience imaginable. The staff is super kind and really incredible service. As a gluten free customer, I was originally hesitant on getting one of their sandwiches, but after learning that they had gluten free options at no extra cost I tried them. Hands down one of the best choices. They made sure that it was safe, and as well as being absolutely delicious. Same goes for their coffee and other drinks. Again super kind and friendly atmosphere make going here a delight. 10/10 would definitely recommend for all your local organic shopping needs. Great experience every time

Always enjoy stopping in to see what is fresh and available. Best breakfast sandwich in town. And best way to buy spices. They have them in bulk so you can get only a spoonful if that is all you need.

A wonderful place. Their homemade soups are always delicious and varied and their iced coffee is the. best. iced. coffee. ever. I really don't know how they do it.

Amazing staff, high-quality local foods, and just an all around great place to spend a little time if you find yourself in Gardiner.

This place is excellent. Service impeccably courteous. Comfortable and relaxing environment. Very useful household products section. Great espresso menu. THE SOUPS ARE TO DIE FOR. All the essential nutrition needs covered with a wholesome selection. Fast, easy, organized. Convenient parking.

I have been a long time customer of the Gardiner co-op, but not anymore. I took my 1 and a half year old in today to get a sandwich made. The man behind the counter said it would be 10 minutes. So I had to wait with my toddler in toe. It’s not easy containing a child especially in a small store where they want to touch different things. It’s human nature and part of the development of children- Covid times or not. My son had gone over where the bulk items are and started playing with 1 scoop where there was nothing in the container. I figured okay, keeps him occupied while I’m waiting. I turned for a brief second and he had pulled out 2 more. At that moment, I was going to put the scoops back in their spots and this woman came out of the office saying “I was wondering what that was.” And then says, “yeah, if you could not have him touch those and now I have to sanitize it.” In a condescending tone. Embarrassing me in front of other customers. Well obviously you would have to sanitize it. Wouldn’t you have to sanitize it everyday once someone uses it? If you are following “strict” sanitizing rules? If anyone has had a young child, they wouldn’t be rude like she was. Good luck in your endeavors- but not supporting a business that embarrasses long time customers and community members.

This little local food co-op is incredible! Great service, great products (local, organic, crafts, affordable), and a huge bulk section! Their cafe area serves various lifestyles, vegans, gluten free, meat eaters, and they make the best and only espresso in town. And they have a little play area to keep your kids busy. Thanks guys and gals!
