New Orleans Food Co-Op

It's been a few years since I visited this place. It was great to get reaquantied with it. They have good organic variety of healthy choices. Also they have a good amount of local items. The cashiers were knowledgeable and very nice.

Solid co-op with a great bulk section. We were visiting New Orleans for a month and we found some good stuff for the pantry. Nice place to shop.

I hold this place very dear to my heart. They have both organic/conventional produce but they label everything so you know exactly where everything is coming from Yes, they are rather expensive and they don't have a huge selection, but there are definitely some things you can get there rather reasonably. I find that they're not always fully stocked and you never know what produce they will have so it can be hit or miss.I really love their variety of flours, granola, nuts, beans, spices, etc that you can just buy by weight. I often times just need a cup of some specialty thing for a recipe and can buy exactly the amount I need without having to use up a whole bag. I go out of my way to buy their Veggi It's made locally (processed not soybeans grown ). It's very expensive ($7) for a block of flavored tofu, but it's some of the best stuff I've had outside of Asian markets. I'll occasionally indulge but otherwise you can buy it cheaper directly from the makers at the Crescent City Farmer's Market on Wednesday's. They sell cbd, a cold food bar, lots of vegan, gluten-free, and local products.

I like the idea of the co-op in principle, and it's not a bad store. It's smaller than a big box grocer, but big enough to have several aisles of variety and most basic needs. They have a lot of niche local and specialty items, and some fresh produce and prepared entrees as well.One expects it to be a little pricey and to cater to members, and it is and it does. Seeing as how I'm across town and I shop all around for all sorts of niche items, I struggle to see that I'd ever get a membership. So for me, and anyone else who's not a member, it's just a cool but expensive little grocer.

Staff is fantastic and helpful! Store itself is kinda small. Was hoping for more options.

Located inside an indoor mall that is across from St. Roch Market.I came by here with my husband last night a little after 9 pm (free street parking). This place was pretty quiet and empty when we walked in, but we were greeted by an employee behind the register. I came in here looking for fruit to take back to my vacation rental (I love eating fresh fruit and vegetables every day, and yes even on vacation) because it was nearby. I was a little disappointed that this place was rather small and that the prices are pretty high. An example of the high prices: $1.99 per pound for grapefruit, $5.99 for a pint of local brand ice cream, $4.99 for a bar of gourmet chocolate. But being that this area is a food desert, I purchased a few items and paid the high prices. If I lived in the area, I would truly be sad at some of the slim pickings of markets around (most "markets" around are convenience stores). I don't see myself coming back to this market.

Cute co-ops are my fav places to shop. This is a good choice in what feels like a market and produce desert in the St. Claud area. It took me a while to figure out it was part of a building housing many businesses. I was glad to be persistent and keep looking.When you walk into the store, it has that typical co-op, non-commercialized aroma. You know that you know what I mean!Anyhow, the produce quantity is small per item but ample for the options. They highlight local and organic. They have some specials, which are nice and aligned with seasons and availability.The bulk section is pretty impressive for a small market. You will find just about every type of bulk item, though not necessarily multiple varieties. For example, they have organic bulk chia seeds, black but not white.You will be able to fill your water containers here, too. If you don't have any, get one from the front. They have plenty of classic staples like non-dairy and dairy beverages, grains, sauces, chocolate bars, cereals, snack foods and personal care items. In this area, you can't go wrong to shop here. Prices are decent considering it isn't overflowing with a thousand customers a day. Support your local co-op, as they do offer great healthful and socially conscious choices.

I can keep my supermarket phobia under control here, therefore I find the Co-Op to be AOK.I think the key is to look at it as similar to (my much-missed) Korean groceries in Brooklyn (only it's not open 24-hours), rather than compare to Whole Foods or Rouses. The selection is decent for a small grocery store. The prices... eh. I guess on par with WF (oops, I just did what I said I wouldn't do). Again, similar to a Korean market with lots of healthy options and that comes at a higher price usually. Of course at a Korean market, you're also paying for convenience and for those of us who live within a few blocks, well, it's mighty convenient. And that's the major draw. It's not a destination market by any means.I think the produce is pretty great. I was expecting to find less. They had three varieties of organic kale (which is pretty much all I care about), and dino kale was on sale for 1.99 a bunch. There is a very tiny local produce section that is clearly marked. Oh and they have Hail Merry raw treats! They are in a small fridge by the register up front. I'm kind of obsessed with them these days (key lime or meyer lemon being my favorite tarts and those chocolate macaroons are unbelievable).The staff is nice and helpful. Yeah, I was asked if I wanted to be an owner. It's just not going to happen. I don't really see the value in it. The food co-op in Lawrence KS was about three times the size and I actually preferred it to any stores of its kind, including WF, so I guess there's potential that's not quite met here. I'll write more once I realize I have to depend on this place as I despise driving and I despise supermarkets.

I love this place :) it's a great way to escape big corporations that are controlling our lives. It's also a great place to help reduce your individual plastic waste by using their soap, water and staple refills, they even have coffee refills. They have a great selection of food and other items if you are looking to reduce the toxins in ur life.

I love it here. The staff is friendly & helpful, the place is always clean & they are definitely enforcing Covid guidelines (mask in & you must wash hands before entering). I go there for many things like produce, hard to find products & items that I don't have to buy in full like spices, grains, oats & expensive ingredients that I only need a pinch or less than a cup of. It works!!
