Durham Co-op Market

Wow! This place is amazing and i love that everything here is local. Such a friendly staff. The produce section is awesome. We had to stop to get sushi for my daughter. They also offer MTO menu. Nice parking and outdoor seating area.
Loved it!

In Durham for work and was referred to The Durham Co-op as I love to bring my lunch and have food in the hotel. The store had great lunch options, wine and cheese. Wish we had one of these in Charlotte. I will definitely be back on my next work trip.

Nice staff, great place and varieties of some products that are rare to find anywhere else. Good environment although the cafeteria could be cleaner. Good stop before going home.

Just wanted to give a big shoutout to the butchers counter! They are amazing and I highly recommend them for your butchering needs!

Came for dinner on a meatless Monday for the vegan options. That night they had curry, cilantro rice, and sweet coconut rolls I believe. The food was very good.

The space to eat was not clean and kind of grossed me out. Part of it was people not cleaning up after themselves, part was dead flies laying on a table and all around the window. Not exactly what you want to look at when you’re eating. Next time I’ll probably eat outside.

Lots of great products you can’t find everywhere.

Updated to add that each visit after my first has been much cleaner in the eating area - no flies!

Great place to shop. From local beer and wine to kombucha. Also, very cheap peanut butter grinding station and coffee in bulk with several Counter Culture varieties. They have organic produce, a deli, pies from East Durham Pie and a buffet with food.

One of my favorite co-ops of all time. Great selection, beautiful produce, lovely folks.

I really love this place! I moved from Raleigh to Durham a while back, and when I changed cities I wanted to be more committed to helping the community and take part in the offerings of the city/rural areas. This Co-Op is in a pretty accessible area for everyone, the only shortcomings have nothing to do with the store, but city planning making walking/biking places difficult. It's a really lovely atmosphere when you're inside, the produce is absolutely beautiful, they have nice indoor and outdoor seating, and they even have one of the community "Little Library" stands outside in their picnic area. It's a wonderful mixed use space for people to shop, get a bite to eat, and relax. I love it.

Great produce and a prepared food section that helps us get through the week.

Great selection, friendly staff, nice outdoor area.

Great coop/grocery store. I was there for the seed swap. Everyone so friendly and welcoming. Wish I lived closer.

I'm a member of the Durham Co-op Market and I strongly believe in their values and mission. I love the fact that they support local farmers, small organic farms and only sell meat from suppliers that don't subscribe to animal cruelty. They pay a living wage to all of their employees as well. I have nothing bad to say about the Durham Co-op Market.

Good people! Food costs more but it is aimed more towards those who prefer gluten free, organic and healthier food choices. It ain’t your typical store! I enjoyed my visit ! Thanks guys !!!

I love the fresh faces the food is really good and well cared for I like that the water station is clean this is personal but I like great food and a clean store. Thank you for the warm greetings. And inquiring about my day I feel truly part of the fabric of Durham when I am in the co-op. A particularly touching moment was seeing an elderly man in fruit and produce as his family came in and sang Happy birthday to him his wife his children his grandchildren it was great to see the generational interaction and love. Missing some of my favorite people old favorites.

What a wonderful find! Great friendly people and kid friendly too! Music for the kids was awesome . Was a first visit but not the last!

Great place to buy beer! They have sales on items so do some digging. Great shopping environment! Nice and peaceful! The hot foods section smelled amazing but was not open, yet, when I shopped there.

This long-awaited store is a real joy. The cafe features many non-meat and often vegan dishes on the hot bar, and on Monday evenings the hot bar is all-vegan for "Meatless Monday". The head cook for this event is great--lots of variety and much down-home cooking. The rest of the store is good too...a very sufficient bulk section, and about everything you really need in a natural foods store. They get in fresh, locally-baked bread from several sources, as well as many other items. The staff are friendly and make you feel very welcome and at home.

Great market, with an impressive variety of everyday and special groceries. Open to everyone, with the option of becoming a member-owner. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. There's also a small hot bar and deli, with seating areas inside and outside for those who want to eat there. Many locally-produced items. For those who want to become member-owners, there is a one-time cost of around $100, some of which you get back in the format of gift card (there are also monthly deals for members, but most of the value is in having a market that is guaranteed to stay locally controlled and community-focused.

Love their local product selection! Thanks, Durham Co-op for carrying local.

I love being a member of my locally-owned coop. Great organic food, a delicious food bar and quality products all around. The cafe is a relaxing casual place for a quick bite. The staff are friendly and helpful. I'm so delighted to have this great store in the place I call home, Durham.
