Willy Street Co-op - West

I don't do my regular shopping here due to cost, but I wish I could! I love coming here when I need a special ingredient, I'm cooking for something special, or I "need" a treat. I bought some fresh veggies for homemade guacamole this week, and it was the best guac I've ever made. The staff is consistently friendly, efficient, and helpful.

I was there on a Friday noon. Friday they have Indian food in the food section, wanted to taste it. I took a chicken curry, 2 veg curries and a fried rice. The Indian food didn't taste anything like Indian food. Flavors were wierd. I got some other cookies and drinks as well. There were good variety of products. The most impressive one was the huge array of dispensers they have. They have a ton of items there including cereals, beans and many varieties of rice including forbidden black rice and wild rice.

I love getting produce from here. They have the best fruits and veggies. This store has great local and organic food options. Worth the prices. Everything is very well kept and organized. I appreciate the helpful staff. I was looking for the best clementines and an employee was able to confirm the best ones and they were right, they have been delicious. I also love their grab and go section. They have premade salads, wraps, sandwiches, etc. as well as a hot food line. It's always fun checking out their gift section with candles, tea, socks, candies, plants, etc.

A fantastic selection of products, lots of things I have never seen before, upscale but not too expensive. Not for shopping if you are on a budget. Quality of items looked very good and lots of choices for vegans/vegetarians.

This place is a nice upscale place without the excessive pricing that others like this place charge. The variety of produce, packaged goods and specialty items offer more than most any could ask for. Special pricing forMembers but anyone can buy here. Friendly staff and clean store make for a pleasing shop.If you live anywhere close to this co op you owe it to yourself to shop here.

It's a great little neighborhood market but not some place I would shop if I were on a tight grocery budget. I just bought a 3 lbs bag of russet potatoes that cost $7.49. Typical price at a mainstream grocery store is 89 cents a pound, or less. Brown rice is $2.50-$3.50 per lbs at Willy's. It sells for $0.85 a lbs at a regular grocery store. The employees are wonderful and very helpful. They have a very good selection of just about everything. Their seafood is excellent and about as fresh as one can expect for the Midwest.

very expensive..when mentioned the response given was food stamps. little does Willy's coop know that most people had their stamps reduced to almost nothing. especially the elderly. quite a snooty response. food prices are sky high for decent food. mind you food especially good food is a necessity and not a luxury. the attitude of Willy's coop grieves me. seems like all Willy's want is money for their pet charities and not for the ordinary poor.

I generally love this store. Produce that's often very interesting and off the beaten path type items. Fresh and even offering a few items for bargain prices that while being at then near-end of their usefulness are still something useful that day, and super cheap. Bulk spices are a bonus I like as well because I don't buy jarred spices generally. My very extensive spice assortment at home rotates quickly not being required to purchase a jar every time I need cumin or 5 spice, etc means I'm not tossing yet another fully functional container into some landfill because that's what is expected in this society. Buying the grass fed ground beef several days ago on sale for $4.99/lb. was a mistake that I should've remembered making a few years back. Had I bought it for the same night it would've been fine. But 24 hours later, the following night, I opened one of the two packages for the spaghetti I was craving, and the exterior was already grey and beginning to smell bad. This was pretty unacceptable. Typically grass fed beef is priced at somewhere around double this price (I generally purchase a 1/4 to 1/2 side of beef, grass fed, and in bulk I paid $5/lb) so when I saw the sign announcing the great price I forgot why it's being fobbed off for fire-sale price. Aside from this issue, I'm a fan of Willy Street West. I'm wary however about my next visit. I'm hoping it will allow my rewrite to boast more stars

Love it. I value local , organic food. They are being careful about the Covid standards. I don't mind waiting outside to go into a store that's not too crowded. I will keep that in mind in the colder months by wearing extra clothes. I just feel comfortable there.

Love all the organic produce choices especially the local produce. The store is clean, organized. Wish there were healthier food choices in the buffet.
