First Alternative Co-op North Store

Great salad bar with lots of interesting toppings. Bulk bins with nuts, seeds, dried fruit, fours, granola. Bulk frozen food. Packaged groceries. Gourmet snacks and excellent produce.

I just can’t say enough good things about this place, these people, and the product offerings. I moved away from Corvallis a few years ago, but the kind folks at the Co-op continue to provide me with my favorite whole coffee beans from afar. My favorite things about the co-op are the soup/salad bar, the delicious fresh-n-ready sandwiches, desserts, coffee, produce, and of course the amazing bulk foods section. Both locations are amazing for general groceries, a quick meal, or even awesome locally made treasures. I miss being able to treat myself to a beautiful fresh flower bouquet. Really. I just miss Corvallis in general. If you find yourself in town, check this place out. You won’t be disappointed!

A little pricey but what stores like this aren't. The sales are where the bargains are. The Co-op has a great selection, their bakery features fresh local baked good. Their chocolate buttermilk cupcakes are a must! The staff is friendly and the store is spotless. The selection is diverse and unique, yet you can still find the familiar you are seeking. A lifetime membership is $70. But, anybody can shop there.

Great variety of Magnesium supplements. Fun stickers, handcrafts.

Clean store with pretty good variety for such a small footprint.

Amazing all around. Wonderful staff, great variety of produce, hot food, pastries, groceries, and more. Deals are regularly available and there's always something new to try. Get their Chocolate Orange Cheesecake if you can.

Local, humane, organic, Corvallis staple. People read the labels here and care about what they are consuming and from where it came.

This seems like one of few locally owned grocery stores in Corvallis, Oregon. I love the fact they are one of first grocery stores i
here to sell organic food.

The North Co-op is my favorite grocery store. They generally have high quality local produce at good prices. The owner discount is helpful for food budgets. They have some good vegan baked goods, and their bulk section is outstanding. The atmosphere in the store is friendly and relaxing.

Best organic produce, good selection of all organic foods, fair trade chocolate ! Bulk section includes u grind nut butters. Best salad bar ! Including my favorites like tempeh bang-bang. Samples of chocolate cake were on offer there today.

Great local grocer, serving South Corvallis for over 50 years. If you are looking for quality food and beverage at a great price, minimal packaging - this place is for you. My first stop for all my food needs. Excellent customer service and knowledgable staff. Extensive bulk selection.

Love everything about this place. Fresh produce. Great variety in the bulk bins. Lots of locally sourced foods. Fun non food items too! Cards, mugs, jewelry, pins, stickers and more! Hot breakfast bar, coffee, and tea available every morning. Salad bar available at 11. Take out or eat in the seating area. Helpful and friendly people!

COVID update: No salad bar, coffee bar, or in store dining. Can grab prepared food to go. Masks requires. Surfaces sanitized between customers.

.50 cent scoops of rice and $2 cups of soup? Incredible. Dinner on a budget. And super healthy. Homemade muffins and cookies? The best. Great produce section, and lots of bulk to choose from. Fun people to jibe with. Get outta town! (but stop here first). North store rules the school (sorry South, never been the same since you lost the tree).

Co-op, the term hopefully will grow among us. FA( First Alternative) brings fresh produce from local farms, ethical products, so many choices abound. Vegan products are popular, the store offers meat and dairy products from local and/or state. They offer a deli that provides dishes to heat, huge array of desserts and go food like sandwiches, each half wrapped separately, salads and innovative food ideas. A well stocked variety in bulk foods also, wine and beer, local bakery bread and so much more. It is a true co-op, membership is for lifetime, voting for delegates for the Board and discounts.

My go-to spot for local items. Terrific assortment of local produce, groceries and dry goods.

I absolutely love the baked goods and deli section. The felafel is a favorite of mine.

Best hot-bar breakfast potatoes. 🎉

Really great service. We lived in Albany for over 10 years and went here every week.

We moved to Florida can't find a certain spice that can only be found at the Co-Op. I called and they immediately mailed us 3 packs, Priority Mail.

Thanks so much.

This place is fantastic! They have great customer service, great produce, and they are working hard to help keep customers safe during this pandemic. I'm so glad we have this store!

Simply the best food Coop anywhere. Great helpful staff, good selection of everything I like to eat, including the decadent black forest cake. Only bummer is I live 100 mi from Corvallis.

Employees when above and beyond to help me. I could tell they loved working there based off their attitudes.
