We were visiting Arcata for a week and stopped by this store everyday. The staff were super helpful in recommending alternatives. Their salad bar stocked gave us a nice selection of fixings. They also roll sushi right there too.

Best grocery store I’ve ever been to! Visiting Arcata and can’t get over how good their selection is! They have a deli with amazing food and drinks and tons of vegan options! Plus very centered around zero waste and the community.

Great grocery store, fresh vegetables, meats, bakery with wonderful cake varieties and coffee/juice bar. Gifts too

Love this place! Great food selection and the deli makes the best sandwich I’ve had in years. All of the staff are normally very friendly, I can’t help but feel like the employee at the cafe hates me every time I order a small iced coffee though? They go from being very friendly to literally huffing, puffing and slamming cups around. Anyways love this place and definitely one of the best local co-ops I’ve been to.

Wonderful food and friendly service. Amazing produce section ❤

The cashier was very amiable. 👍☺️

The best place to grocery shop in Arcata! Overlook the supposed deals offered by chain groceries, budget buyers can enjoy the extensive selection of bulk bin choices of beans, grains, dried fruits, spices, snacks, nuts, and so much more! A real source of local products (from pasture-raised humane eggs that you can visibly see are healthier from brown shells and bright golden yolks, to creamed flavored honeys made by nuns at the nearby monastery, to the left-overs of fresh produce from humble Humboldt farmers after the farmers market) quality comes before quantity here. A wide selection of California wines and Humboldt county beers and ciders are available, along with imported favorites. Vegans and vegetarians are welcome, even in the deli. If local, become a lifetime member and enjoy monthly discounts.

My favorite local store...the angel food cake is amazing!

Great store, just wish it was not so pricey.

Very nice little place! Kind of expensive but the food was good (had a breakfast sandwich), the place was clean, and I was happy that I didnt have to be a member to shop there.

Good selection in the staff is real courteous

The Eureka Coop is always clean and well kept and the floor workers are helpful. The produce is spectacular but the prices are pretty dang high. They do a great job on mask wearing and not getting too many clients inside at once.

They kick alot of people out for the lamest reasons and you wonder why wildberries is bustling...this place is dead and has weird energy

Clean store. Friendly staff. Interesting local offerings. A little pricey but always worth it. Definitely recommend.

As a longtime member and supporter of the coop I could not be prouder of my experience today shopping in the store.All precautions for safety were exercised better than Ive seen in almost all other places.Well done and thank you!

When I like to throw money at quality, expensive, locally produced foods this is my favorite place to shop. When Im broke, it is best to stay away. Finally, after 30 years of hemming and hawing, became a member this year. Well worth it in every way. Should have done so back in 87.

Love this place! Support co-operational businesses!! Great variety of foods and a bulk goods section!

Way overpriced food. COOP has declined significantly in all areas, very sad..

Great selection of vegan foods. Bakery is high quality. Service has always been friendly. Slightly pricey, but worth it for the high quality foods and happy, well-paid employees.

Went in for produce...always good quality & selection.

The employees always go out of their way for you. amazing place to shop, its like shopping with friends

The most incredible grocery store I have ever been to. They have tons of plant based options and everyone is really friendly

Great sandwiches

Good organic foods, a bit pricey

Its been years since I visited Arcata, and one of my sure pitstops was to visit the Arcata Co-op, which I assume is now the North Coast Co-op. I was not disappointed. I *think* its a new location, or at least a rebuilt property, with all the good stuff that you want and expect from a people-oriented grocery and takeout location. Ample parking, friendly associates, careful management of incoming patrons, respectful, MASKED customer waiting line, excellent selection of teas, hot sauces, breads, cereals and basically almost everything, at reasonable prices. Every town should be so lucky. Bought my son a membership was easy and satisfying, & he will enjoy it during his time at HSU.

Very rude lady behind the deli counter.I simply asked about sandwiches & got cut off, & a very condescending “yeah, we aren’t making sandwiches right now”I don’t think I’ll ever return to this location in the future.

Nice market. Staff is helpful & friendly. Delicious organic fresh food from the deli. By far my favorite market.

This place is amazing. I could go on for hours about how much this place rocks. I love it. They have great floral, best sushi in town. Custom rolls available even. Wonderful coffee spot. Deli, butchers, cosmetics, and whole store is AWESOME!!

Very nice selection of produce and fresh meat, even more variety than the Eureka location. The only downside is the tight parking lot.

Paid 6 dollars for a breakfast sandwich that was cold; had two tiny pieces of bacon; and a block of egg, literally a cube 😂 worst 6 dollars Ive ever spent

Great selection. Decent prices.

Great place to shop.

Every cashier at the co-op has been courteous, some even having interesting personalities. I love the community feeling of shopping at the co-op. I also appreciate the adequate vegetarian options they have (Im a flexitarian). Prices are more expensive than a typical store but it is justified in how workers are treated and given benefits and knowing that makes me want to shop here as often as I can. All in all, the co-op has a distinct, nice atmosphere and is always stocked with interesting goods.

Nice product but expensive!

Excellent customer service. Great selection.

Love the sales staff at the Arcata Co-op. The store has great healthy selections with wonderful seasonal items. Fun to explore each departments new options and learn about them by the knowledgeable and friendly staff. I love the North Coast Co-op!!! 😍

I like the Co-op their sushi is good. I always find parking space and the employees are very friendly. The bakery area plays great music. I havent tried their drinks sorry.

Wonderful food! excellent service. sounds and light are vivacious. finish of bar and entire interior and acoustics is fantastic, uptown City vibe, yet casual and comfortable, menu as affordable as anyone might like, if you order that way, or you may have exactly what you want at a fair price for the considerable quality. coming back! new fav!!!

My favorite place in the world to buy groceries. People, both customers and staff people often are extremely friendly. Not rare to get into nice little spontaneous conversations. Definitely a place to go for a feeling of community and Good Vibes

A very nice store with nice people but if you are doing a weekly shopping it is worth going into Eureka to Eureka Natural Foods. The CoOp is pricey and often doesnt have the things I buy on a weekly basis. I only use it to run in for things I forgot.

Make sure your mask is properly fitted! They not so kindly point it out if its not

Really knowledgeable and helpful staff. Always seem ready and able to help. It was a little busy but thats okay. I love when a community supports its local businesses!

This is the perfect food store. The vegetables beautiful they taste so good. Great selection of cheeses and wine. The deli counter for a fresh salad and other prepared meals.

Prices are high, but for good reason. The selection is great. The products are numerous, many available nowhere else. They have an end cap devoted to licorice candy. What else can I say? I love it.

As far as Co-ops go, this is a very nice store. They carry a great variety of products. Their produce section is second to none. They make amazing sandwiches. Customer support is mediocre. And they dont honor other co-op memberships. So if youre traveling through, dont even bother to show your membership card from another co-op, theyll just tell you to put it away.

Always a pleasant experience. They have one of the widest selections of gluten free products and helpful staff to direct you to the omes you need.The vegetables and fruits are largely local and organically grown and so always fresh and tasty

Always accommodating with a smile. They bring me the electric cart because I have trouble walking. Everyone is happy to get me thing I need from higher shelves. Cashiers very helpful helping me out items on the he counter. Since I last right across street they let me use electric cart to get across street bringing my Walker for me. They put my groceries on the Walker, help me onto the curb. Love shopping at co op in Arcata.

Lot of fresh foods.

Best store for organic foods and local options. Prices are competitive for like products. Great bulk section. Also has some sushi and brewing supplies.

Best produce section, has more local produce than any groceries. Great local and other cheeses, meats, breads, products. Best bulk selection. Nice deli and bakery..lovely employees.

Amazing natural grocer. 1,000,000 times better than evil Whole Foods/Amazon

The Windows were clean.

One of the best bulk departments Ive ever seen! My one complaint is that they dont honor memberships from other food co-ops (as other co-ops do). I visit Arcata for a bit every few years, so a membership is not reasonable for me. Im already a member at 2 co-ops in Washington...

I LOVE this grocery store! Local fresh organic produce and meat, great bakery, wonderful hot food and deli, nice knowledgeable employees, just a wonderful place to shop and get ideas for meals.

A Wonderful Store!! The most local produce of any store in the area. Great Deli and Bakery!

This place is awesome and the people are so nice. The prices are a bit high for what you buy... I know its organic but really now. :-) Every organic food store does it tho! Highly recommended!

Love the Co-op. I have been shopping there since 1998. The produce is always incredibly fresh, there are wonderful choices for organic food, and the customer service is great!

Great place to find beautiful organic produce and foods!

Great selection for specialty and high quality food, but prices reflect that. Many of the shoppers are locals more interested in a conversation than a meal, so not great if youre in a hurry but interesting if you have the time to enjoy Arcatas charm.

Grab a made to order sandwhich on local Brio bread, or a soup before you shop to curb any uneccessary spending due to impulsive hunger buys. This place supports local farmers and lists the distance away from their supplier, so you really get to see how local you are eating. As its a co-op, you can receive member discounts monthly and save.

The Co-op always has what I need. And the employees are the best! Thank you for being the store of my choice.

Great place to get bunny food. Sylvester and Bella love the organic vegetables.

All around excellent store! The produce is the highlight, but bulk selection, including spices, are a close second. And the staff is amazing and super helpful

Great bulk foods section!

Fluent traffic. This is a naturalists dream come true. bulk needs, high quality, great staff, awesome deli items and premade food. Staff have given me great recipe advice.

Fantastic selection of organic produce and groceries!

Great selection of vegetables and bulk food. Friendly staff. Tuesdays are senior discount day.

The healthiest and most socially responsible grocery store you will ever find.

Food for freaky people. So good, exotics everywhere. Perhaps the best alternative eco-friendly grocery store in the world

I miss this place whenever I travel. Truly a community grocery store. What I like best is that I learned how to bring my own jars and containers and fully utilize the bulk options that this Co-op offers. The staff welcomed a newbie like me and trained me on the how toos of using containers from home.

Always really friendly and helpful. Great selection of foods, WIC friendly, plenty of garden starts right now as well.

Hard to get a cup of coffee without waiting in lengthy lines.

Best produce and best bulk in the county, aside from farmers market and sometimes even then.

Not very friendly, expensive and usually wait in long lines.

Really neat Co-op with lots of choices, but plan some time to be able to check out. Very friendly staff and a large beer selection.

The staff is always pleasant and helpful. Great selection, especially the cheese section.

Pretty good selection, great quality, fair prices and nice staff! Local and organic!

Always friendly, a great store with great food. The soup and salad bar are especially great.

Sandwich wrap was 3 days old. Staff was rude and standoffish. Definitely go to wildberries instead of this dump.

Great selection of organic products, local cheeses, awesome soaps that my wife loves!

Great selection of baked marinated tofu, and of course the chocolate chip almond espresso cookies are amazing!

Nice people but expensive . It is nice that they had gluten-free options but the organic produce is all that they carry.

The staff is great but they constantly provide misinformation about GMOs and natural food. I get it...they are selling organic food so they are promoting it but the Co-op used to be about spreading information about food and not misinformation to sell products. They refuse to look at the mountains of studies showing GMOs are safe and organic food isnt actually much better.

Whole Forganic supply, your likely to over pay upwards thencourage more

Best selection of local products around. Pretty awesome deli too!

Best eva!Check out the impressive bulk dept.

Great place to get good organic food.

Really fresh organic produce, enjoyed my spicy udon noodles and spanakopita for dinner with yerba mate tea.

They are very organized, have everything I need & carry lots of local goods.

Sweet food coop with a great organic produce selection and huge bulk section

Good natural food store. Prices reasonable.

Very very slow, badly organized and bad service 😕

Always a favorite for organic grub. Huge salad bar and hot lunch-by-the-lb

Best produce in Arcata. Consistent, high quality food.

Parking is rough

The store is nice and has good options. Would go back if I am ever in arcata

Healthy food, mostly nice folks there. Not as down to earth as in the past.

Great selection of awesome whole foods and supplements

One of my favorite places to get food.

The deli made me a great sandwich.
