Portland Food Co-op

Very nice shopping experience. Clean store with a nice variety of different products to choose from. If you like organic, you'll like this place!

Great little grocery with a lot of variety. I'm a chef in the area and the coop is one of my go to spots to get ingredients for rounding out last minute ideas, or when we run out of something. I like their pre-made burritos and different sodas too for a quick pre shift meal to go.

Small market, but it has most things we needed. I appreciated the degree to which the store makes an efforrt to support local farmers. The prices are higher than in most other stores, but the quality is worth the extra cost. I'd definitely return if we lived in the area.

Since day one this establishment has really worked at fitting in with the neighborhood instead of trying to make the neighborhood fit them. Love the local aspect just can't afford to shop there as often as I'd like

Small footprint but many good options. Lots of fresh produce and bread, multiple choices for many diets.

This place is amazing! The best curated grocery store I’ve ever been to with incredibly high-quality products.

GOOD FOOD AT THE RIGHT PRICE EVEN BETTER IF YOJOIN THIER CLUB .

We love shopping at the Co-op. It has an excellent selection fo pretty much everything we need: farm produce, local bread, local beer, local meats & dairy, flowers, prepared food.. and prices are really reasonable. Our first and often only stop for groceries.

Local produce, dairy, grocery products, and more! A great start to supporting local product and helping the community. A wide selection and all the basics. Plenty of options for dietary restrictions in the deli

I just visited this store for the first time last night and I was thoroughly impressed by their selection on food and ingredients. They have your every day organic products, but what really makes this store special and unique is the selection of ingredients they have to make your own teas. They have raw herbs, plants, and roots you can buy by weight to be used to make your own tea. They also have a decent selection of different types of fresh coffee grounds

Best place for locally grown veg and meat

Love this place! Just what a co-op should be: a great selection of local/small artisan bests, friendly staff, and fresh local produce. Highly recommend it. Just be careful: you might find yourself maxing out your credit card with all the goodies.

They were really amazing at practicing and maintaining good distancing and store practices. And were very understanding and helpful when it was obvious I was anxious.
This was my first trip to a store in six months. My first time inside a building that was not my home. And I felt as safe as I feel is possible for me

I’m not a member but I love shopping here. Staff is super friendly, excellent quality produce + bulk sections, extensive coffee + beer selection, and lots of hard-to-find foods for those with special (vegan/gf/organic) diets. I love that they try to source things locally and ethically. This is probably the most covid-cautious place I’ve visited during the pandemic (requires you to use hand sanitizer upon entry), but I’m thankful the employees are working + am happy to follow protocols if it helps them feel safer. Great store!

There are many items available for bulk purchase, a solid selection of local produce (hope to see that expand some time in the future), and other great natural, organic, local products. I love the "help yourself" system for the bulk items that show that people can be trusted to be an honest shopper. Great way to foster a sense of community in my opinion.

A great place to sample Maine-made products and fresh local produce for generally reasonable prices. Very spacious and has everything you need with new items being offered all the time. Great variety, friendly and helpful staff, and a far better experience than shopping under the florescent lights of massively large and overwhelming grocery chains. Next best place to shop after the farmer's market.

On first blush, all seemed fairly standard. Then I started seeing bulk dispensers of all sorts of things: laundry detergent, dish soap, Maple syrup, local honey... And the list goes on! The people all went out of their way to be friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back!

Friendly, helpful staff. Lots of bulk food and moderate selection of organic, local produce. Small deli section. Unfortunately they offer fresh and frozen meat. Large percentage of local items

It is so great to finally have a place in Portland that I can feel great about buying all my groceries because the Co-op is locally and cooperatively owned. I also love the wide selection of local foods. I am so glad I can buy Balfour Farm local and organic yogurt in a returnable glass container and locally grown organic fresh spinach year round. Thank you to all the hard working staff who make the Co-op a great place.

Small, friendly local coop with a good selection of bulk foods and some premade sandwiches, coffee, bagels and baked goods.
