Cute co-op - Edit
Co-ops and health food stores are the first places we try to find when visiting a new area. They’re always good for a decent selection of vegan options.
Read moreBrattleboro co-op has a nice offering of grab and go vegan eats, a nicely separated vegan/vegetarian hot bar, and an okay salad bar.

Typical co-op - Edit
Nice large store with plenty of vegan products. Vegan options in the prepared foods cooler. Not much in the made-to-order area. Some options in the hot bar area. Plenty of grocery options.

Impressive health food store - Edit
This well laid out store offers lots of options for produce, packaged and frozen vegan items, etc with decent prices and friendly staff. There is a small cafe/juice bar inside, with a bunch of seating, though the cafe is less exciting than the store itself as a whole.

Good selection - Edit
There are a lot of vegan grocery items here and it's got a good vibe overall. I've had a couple instances of staff recommending non-vegan items after asking for vegan so definitely read the labels here. It's pricey but it's a co-op in Vermont - what do you expect?

So many great things - Edit
Staff was the sweetest -- so warm and welcoming. Lots of produce and plenty of options for vegans. I do wish there were a few more choices in the deli/pre-prepared section, though. I also loved how big their supplement/home/gift sections were as well. Definitely worth stopping in.
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Many vegan grocery options, Lots of non-grocery goods
Cons: Could have more vegan deli/pre-made options

Vegan pizza and lots of vegan options - Edit
I saw in previous reviews that their pizza dough was not vegan; I emailed the coop management and they confirmed that both the regular pizza dough and GF pizza dough ARE vegan! Besides that they have tons of vegan food and premade items.
Read morePros: Vegan pizza and sandwiches made to order, Vegan to-go products., Wide range of vegan products.
Cons: Could use more vegan to-go products.

Grocery is great, deli is Meh - Edit
I frequently make the one hour commute to go grocery shopping here because of the great vegan options. They have lots of well known vegan brands and hard to find items (forager sour cream, miyokos products, etc) the bulk section is also great. One other thing I love is the pasta selection. They have some really unique plant based pastas I can’t find anywhere else. The deli is pretty boring if you’re used to good variety. They have a tofu veggie sandwich and not much else. The bakery is great though! They almost always have vegan carrot cake and vegan chocolate fudge cake

Good for groceries - Edit
Quite a few vegan grocery options. However, pre-made vegan options are an afterthought. Deli section could be greatly improved with more vegan selections.

Good selection in a nice setting - Edit
The co-op has a great selection of vegan items of many categories. Also has a sister store called Dottie’s across the pedestrian bridge that has a fantastic selection of deeply discounted foods with plenty of vegan selections and deep savings.
Read morePros: Great selection , Nice store, Dottie’s discount

Deli could have more Vegan options - Edit
Stopped in en route to NH. Did expect a bit more Vegan options from deli. My sandwich was good (tofu, lettuce, tomato, cucumber); I'd LOVE if a vegan mayo/cheese was offered & if signage would identify vegan vs vegetarian options (ex: fakin bacon).
Read morePros: Vegan options available

Deli vegan choices are boring in substance and flavor - Edit
Always a stir fry. Always badly flavored. Just the slightest bit of effort would be nice. Honestly, I don't know why they even bother with vegan hot food.
Read moreThe salad bar is nice. And they have an avocado salad dressing that is nice if you can figure out which one it is. Labeling is terrible.
Vegan desserts (Always carrot cake and chocolate cake) - old, dry and sad. Don't waste your money.
The store is fine, expensive like most coops, with plenty of vegan choices.
Pros: salad bar
Cons: pre-made hot foods at deli are awful vegan dessert

Employees who serve non-vegan food to vegans - Edit
I had a great review but had to edit it, because I ran into some problems at the Co-Op. THEY DO NOT EDUCATE THEIR EMPLOYEES ON SPECIFIC DIETS.
Read moreI have been coming here for 2 years, and they have a great grocery store, and some OK vegan prepared food. They also offer sandwiches and pizzas. Being told that they offer vegan pizzas, I began to have a pizza night once a week and have been doing so for a few months now. One day I call into order 2 pizzas, and go to pick them up - and an employee in the pizza section tells me "everything on your pizza is vegan except that dough". Are you kidding me? Don't offer vegan pizzas (daiya cheese, tempeh bacon and so on) when something that I'm allergic to is in your dough (egg and milk)! After this incident, I was told that the pesto I have been receiving on my sandwiches for over a year has had Parmesan in it. One girl told me one day "oh there's Parmesan in the pesto, I think I've made your sandwiches before so I will make you a free one. I don't care about a free sandwich, I care about the fact that I should trust my local food co-op when I tell them I am 100% vegan and they don't serve me so. At least put up more signs that your "VEGAN PIZZAS" contain non vegan pizza dough!

Great place to shop or grab a bite - Edit
I've been shopping at the Brattleboro Food Co-op for years before finally moving here from NY. Great bulk section, and many vegan and gluten-free items. Produce department has a wide range of local and organic fruits and veggies. The deli also has a case of clearly labeled vegetarian and vegan choices. There is a salad bar and also hot soups and entrees - you have to check the ingredient lists, though, to see if they are vegan. You can also get juices and smoothies. Take-out or eat in the brookside cafe while browsing a newspaper or magazine.
Read morePros: wide selection, good food, helpful and friendly staff

New co-op expansion - Edit
The "new" Brattleboro Food Co-op offers some selection in dry goods, meat, fish, and supplements that the "old" co-op did not, but I have been disappointed with the selection in general. The most unfortunate switch has been the co-op deli: I have spent long years coming to the Co-op for a refreshing haven for vegetarian and gluten-free foods. Sadly, the "new" deli seems to be stuck in a repeating cycle of the same dishes over and over and over again. There are fewer and fewer gluten-free options in the prepared food options. Soups and hot dishes that I used to be excited to see are boring and uninventive.
Read moreThe eat-in seating is much nicer in the new building. Some sections of the building feel airy and roomy and others maze-like and cramped.
I hope that the management and staff can pull it together and offer more variety in the deli like the "old" co-op.
Pros: natural foods grab & go
Cons: stagnant menu

A must-stop when in Brattleboro - Edit
My wife and I frequently pass through Brattleboro and we always make a pitstop at the Brattleboro Food Co-Op. They have a huge selection of bulk items (Bulk Miso!), and pretty much any Vegan/Veg product your heart desires. I've eaten from the prepared foods counter several times, and although it can be a bit on the pricey side, the food has always been very good. The store has a great 'vibe' to it, and I always enjoy being there. If you're in the area it's required shopping. One down-side, two days before my last visit (Aug '11) one of the store's employees shot and killed a store manager...I'll still go back!
Read morePros: Great selection, Great vibe, Great prepared food
Cons: A little pricey, Employee murdered store manager

Yay Co-op! - Edit
The Co-op is a bit on the expensive side, especially for pre-made foods, but to balance that out, they've got a lot of bulk products. I buy spices, flours, etc. there and then try to buy dry goods at Dotties, the associated discount store. Everyone's super-nice, very community feel about the place.
