"Great Co-op in a Great Location"   My Rating

	Review: Traveling from Des Moines to Milwaukee a friend of mine and I had decided to eat at the Red Avocado in Iowa City, IA. After our meal we stopped by New Pioneer to pick up a few things for our roadtrip. New Pioneer is just about the gold standard when it comes to health food co-ops. There was plenty of staff on hand, all very helpful and knowledgeable. They offer a large selection of organic produce and also feature a bakery/kitchen which prepares tons of bread, to-go sandwiches, pastas, cookies and other treats, etc. I concur that the "Cashew on a Hot Tin Roof" is a fantastic sandwich. The artichoke heart and pesto pasta salad was also delicious. Mind you, if you are just passing through and are not a member there is a 5% non-member surcharge added to each item. If you live in the Iowa City area it is easily worth it to join!   Pros: Selection * Location * Staff Cons: Pricey for non-members * *

	Review: GO HERE IF YOU ARE VEGAN!!! The Deli in the back has numerous mad Vegan sandwich creations. The Papagayo / Something on a Hot Tin Roof! The location in Coralville has indoor eating for the Deli. They've got wonderful vegan desserts and prepared foods. DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE if you are traveling through!   Pros: great deli * great desserts * great bakery Cons: smell dead cooking animals * *

"I love the co-op"   My Rating

	Review: Even with Tait's opening up downtown, I still prefer the co-op. They grocery store has a lot to offer, and the deli clearly labels everything as vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, etc. Most of their sandwhiches are delicious, my favourite is the cashew on a hot tin roof, and they usually have a really nice selection of soups. They also have great freshly made breads, and a nice offering of vegan muffins/cookies if you're looking for some junk food. The supernutty cookie is my guilty pleasure. The Coralridge location also has a salad bar and a juice/smoothie bar. The only drawback is that it can get expensive if you're not a member.   Pros: nice selection * great sandwich/deli area * Cons: can be pricey * *
