"This has been one of my favorite finds and ob! My husband and I were driving home and he remembered he needed coffee beans, we drove past the co-op so I suggested let's stop by and take a look. This is our first time here and we're so happily surprised to find a variety of coffee beans that you can fill up your own bag to get a sample size of each! They also have pour your own maple syrup and honey. You can also make your own peanut butter and almond butter! Really cool, first time I've seen that! The store also offers a variety of fruits and vegetables and other produce items. We only explored the first floor I would want to go check out the second floor next time. We signed up as members the same day so I will definitely be returning!"

"My wife been going here for 30 years. It’s the best. When I go to the deli, I can’t get away from the bakery Case. Desserts are out of this world, I called the chocolate pudding, chocolate cocaine it’s addictive, put some dairy less cream on it and take it to a new level. All the food is great try it you won’t regret it great Store great deli. Danielle, Asarah and Mike in the bakery are fantastic. Cookies and muffins are the best. Join and support them!"
