Just like home, but lots more food - Edit
This is a very clean, well-established market with lots of food options for all kinds. They have several vegan options in their preparaed food section, usually one vegan soup, and really quite good prepared tofu sandwiches. They also carry vegan cinnamon rolls, but they are a bit spendy. Lots of whole foods (no need for ingredient lists)! Many organics. The service is great, I know many of the working members and volunteers by name. This is my grocery store and has been for about 20 years.

Great Co-op - Edit
Awesome Olympia Cooperative grocery store with great selection of vegetarian options, fresh vegetables, cheese and bread from local farms. Good bulk section including bulk shampoos and body wash. Delicious GF and vegan desserts. Knowledgeable staff and volunteers too.

Exactly what a Co-op IS and SHOULD BE :) - Edit
Reading some of the other views here, I am really taken aback. When we visited Olympia, we were happy to stop in their Co-ops, and we found the relaxed, granola, home-run, vibe of an original cooperative to be really refreshing and fun in comparison with all of the commercial organic stores these days.
Read moreWe found the workers cheerful and helpful. Yes we forgot to write the number on our bulk items too, but you know what? We all laughed it off and they helped us figure out the system.
And about the price: I found it normal. And We find the selection great for a place the size of Olympia. Also it is [we repeat] a CO-OP and you can buy in a membership and get discounts. That's the point. It's community owned.
People who enjoy the cooperative feel and original granola culture will really enjoy this place. If you're looking to find something negative, you will be sure to find that wherever you go. But this place is exactly what a Co-op is and what it should be. :)
Pros: authentic, neighborly, friendly

theres no place like the co-op - Edit
The co-op is the only place to buy fresh food in my opinion.
Read moreIn 8 years i have only bought one moldy item which was a box of vegan doughnuts in the hot summer.
the coop is great about letting you return things if you need to. generally produce that is expiring is put into the discount bin. the great thing about being vegan is that you can usually see the mold and choose not to buy the item.
i love the vegan deli sandiwiches made fresh in the co-op, the bulk bins, and knowing i can choose local produce..it can't get any better than this.
