What a great, centrally located market in Rochester. Many wholesome foods to choose from. If they dont have exactly what Im looking for, a suitable alternative can be found. The bulk section is remarkable and saves money on basic staples. A pleasant grocery shopping experience.

Bulk foods like peanut butter, nuts, granola...you can bring your own containers and they have shampoos and laundry soaps too. Makes cutting down on plastic easier! Really wish most stores would allow you to bring your own containers!

Recently got into baking sourdough bread and I’ve been looking high and low for a good bread flour. Went here and asked who was their supplier for their bread flour, and to my surprise they get their flour from Central Milling, one of the best places to get strong, quality bread flour! Will definitely get my flour from Abundance Food Co-Op from now on!

Such a pleasure shopping. Everyone is so professional and knowledgeable. What a asset to the community. Mia

I love this place it was my first time and I enjoyed it

Unfortunately the store management thinks it is ok to let employees go without a mask if they choose to do so. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) very strongly recommends that people wear masks indoors in areas of substantial or high Covid transmissions. As to why Abundance management does not follow CDC guidelines and/or believe in science is beyond me. Also dont bother to voice your concerns with the staff, they dont listen (or pretend not to listen). I am blacklisting this store until further notice. Which is really too bad, because other than their laid-back Covid policy its a great store...

A friendly staff keeps it very clean and organized with healthy options to satisfy anyone!

Lovely store. Its been part of Rochester for decades. This is at least the third location, that Ive been in... Lots in the bulk section.

Abundance is the best local food store in Rochester. The products are vetted for high quality and sustainability and the staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The prices are competitive with comparable quality. The bulk department is varied and allows you to get just as much as you need. Members get access to special deals, monthly discounts off your total purchase on the day of your choosing, and access to bulk ordering. There are products to support every dietary need. They have even increased their selection of prepared foods. If you havent been in yet, then check it out!

This is a hidden jewel anyone who doesnt know about this grocery store should go check it out they have everything and if you cant find it at the big store they have it.nice customer service as well

Such a friendly atmosphere and great selection. A lot of items are on the pricey side, but I know Im getting high quality, low waste, often local products and putting my money back into the community so if you can afford it, its worth it. The bulk section is amazing! So many products that its difficult or impossible to find package free. Just moved to the area and already its my favorite place to shop.

Locally owned and operated, this community resource is more than just a grocery store. Good health provisions in a great environment. Shop local!

Abundance is a keystone in our farm to table diet. Great selection. Generally competitive prices (not on everything). Super friendly staff. Always buzzing but never over-crowded. And during the pandemic EVERYONE had a mask on and distanced.

Prices are competitive and their rotating specials are great. Excellent, comprehensive selection of all basic grocery needs local products, and beverages. Friendly and well informed staff. Worth joining but not required.

This has all sorts of great little things you cant get elsewhere. I like the emphasis on local farms in their cheese and milk area.Their bulk section is the best. Also has refillable shampoo and conditioner which is very cool for people trying to live a low/zero waste lifestyle

Absolutely wonderful! The employees were very nice! Everything was clean and easy to find. Will definitely be going again.

Searching for raw milk near me turns up a host of places allegedly selling it but Abundance does NOT sell raw milk. You CAN buy it directly from some farms, but not in stores in NY from what I can tell. Please fix the search engines.

Bit pricey. But a good store if youre looking for quality food.

I love this place. I love the staff and I love the custom products. I just need to talk about the tempeh Ruben wrap for a second. Why would there be bread and butter pickles inside of a tempeh Reuben? These pickles completely destroy what could otherwise be a decent wrap. There is no warning I couldnt even eat this thing after picking the pickles out. It was permeated with that sweet bread and butter pickle juice. Please please please for the love of your customers remove those terrible pickles from inside this wrap.

Very nice and healthy store

Good selection of hard to find plant based foods.

Friendly staff! Clean abundance of local products!

Local, Organic, Co-Op, always clean, and organized, with prices posted. Hot soups, Organic, and tasty too. Wide assortment of items available, locally grown, and/or produced by local bakeries, farms, and Organic.

Natural and vegan foods with organic options. Nice layout with a friendly staff.

Reminds me of life, oh how simple/ better we can be

My partner and I love it here! We recently moved into the neighborhood, and its such an asset to this community. The staff are always incredibly friendly, and the products are all delicious. Its amazing how environmentally friendly and community conscious the store is!

Great people, great products. I have nothing bad to say about this place :)

One of my fav roc locations!

The workers were very hospitable which is a good thing. But I do not recommend the pecan sandy cookies nor the chocolate chips they are truly awful. Dont like the prices of all items they are too high too high for me.

Awesome people doing awesome work. Thinking big, working locally. Providing goods in a good way.

Overpriced near rotten oranges. Pretentious customers. Cute black guy working the registers. He is worth the trip. He is kind. You can tell he has a cute smile beneath the mask. No I am not a member. $100 for 10% off once a month. Wow what a deal. Really?

Okay this is literally the best grocery store. They have everything I like, so I’m biased. The chocolate selection is on point. The produce is *chefs kiss*.

Always a great place as long as no one is accosting you outside for money.

I love this place.

Love this place! Lots of great choices with ranges from local to national brands. I love the bulk section, produce and cleaning products. Great buffet/ soups there too, easy to pick up on your way out. Glad to have this in our community

The BEST grocery in Rochester.

They have good selection of fresh an organic produce, bread, vegan pastries, and much more.

Nice little niche grocery store tucked away on South Avenue. They have a lot of organic products like fruits and veggies. I go there a lot because they are the only place in Rochester that sells organic turmeric and ginger. Overall, it is a great place to shop.

Love this place, so glad i live close to it.

Its okay if you like health food

Although costly the only place I can find organic garlic ginger and tumeric root!! The selection of everything healthy is varied in both pricing and basics and specialty items. Staff is GREAT!

What a great market! I love it .great food I bought my plants there today ! Thank you very much. Everyone is so nice. Im going back tomorrow. Be safe 😍

I love that they have lots of package free foods you can store in your own reusable containers. Great for the environment, and your wallet!

Great community grocery store.

Sad that nutritional yeast is not available:o(

I love my coop. Such kind people, delicious food. A great selection. I feel safe and welcomed.

Nice little local co-op in south wedge. I suggest joining the composting program they have there to help community gardens and to reduce food waste. Pricing is reasonable, staff is friendly, and there are a lot of produce options that I havent seen at the bigger stores like wegmans. Heavily recommend

I love it how convenient and close it is to where I live and the choice of anything one wants its pretty cool thank you!!!!!!

Prices are a little high but everything is fresh and of high quality. Also most items are organic. Im a 56 year old veteran and I run two and a half miles 4 times a week because Im eating fresh organic foods daily.

The staff are always so nice and theres a whole bunch of great finds! Love that its local

Cool little grocery store with some unique products, local produce and bulk goods. The also have coffee and a cafe area for eating a nice sandwich or soup in house. Staff are always very friendly and willing to help you find something if you cant find it.

Great place to shop and eat local food for great prices

This place is great of you want to shop with less waist have have plenty of local options

Great local coop, has all the essentials and all your needs for meat alternatives, alternative flours, ect.Obviously not the cheapest place, I wouldnt do all my shopping there for that reason but great if youre in the area and need a few things. Nice little beer selection too.

Excellent Grocery Store! CoffeeBar, Soup Salad Bar, produce etc. Lots and lots of Vegan food 💚

Friendly, helpful staff. Store is always super clean.

Never busy and has a great variety of organic veggies and meat to pick from. If youre like me and cant stand bottom tier wegmans products come here instead. Devin, an employee who works at Abundance is super friendly and nice.

I love this little store. Fantastic bulk section and hard to find vegan options

Great people, excellent quality products. They generally arent my primary source of groceries, but they have items other stores dont and they are a convenient quick stop (for me, anyway) to pick up one or two things I need.

Downtown Rochester and its immediate neighborhoods are a classic food desert. To find any market, let alone a market with fresh produce, let alone a decently priced organic market that would not be out of place in San Francisco or Boston, is a gift.Curated but comprehensive selection of foods, household, and supplements. Plenty of seating to eat your hippie snacks and relax.Great find!

The bulk bins make shopping here affordable. And less packaging is good for the environment. Personal service too!

UPDATE: They called back and remedied the situation. They were very apologetic and sincere.I called to place an order (this happened twice) and was put on hold for about 5 minutes, until the line was disconnected. The employee said he would be right back to take my order... I called 4 more times spacing the calls a few minutes apart and no one answered. I called yesterday, the day before yesterday as well, and got no answer. This is very disappointing because my family and I have been long time abundance customers. We love their products and what they stand for. I sincerely hope that the quality of their customer service can improve.

Nice place, a little pricey

Beautiful grocery store with a push for minimal packaging. Options to bring your containers for refills of certain items such as spices, and grains. We attended a free spring art class held in the back which was absolutely lovely and we had a great time! We plan on attending any classes or events held in the future. Good location in the city of Rochester. Free parking, handicap accessible.

Rochesters cooperative grocery its doing well in its new location. While there have been legitimate causes for disappointment with how the move was handed, I want to support our grocery as it as, and the new grocery as it is has many features to recommend it including many varieties of Americas established alternative brands, a beautiful fresh produce area, and a larger seating area. Im a big fan of the homemade soups!

You can pretty much get everything on your supermarket shopping list here. Over the past couple of years they have lowered prices significantly on basics and now offer a generic low-price line of organic items. AND they are now offering many non-natural supermarket basics.Their prepared foods section is really superior and always have vegetarian and vegan options. Their soups are always wonderful and you can get real authentic bagels.If nothing else, you should go to Abundance for their bulk spices and herbs. They are absolutely the freshest in town and you can get only as much as you need. Because you know that cardomom in your pantry is five years old. This is where you get your next batch.And the cheese selection has grown quite nicely!And, of course, its a co-op, which means that the profit doesnt go to billionaires- it goes right back to the staff and shopper/owners. Moreover, no other local grocery comes close to offering as high a percentage of local farmers and producers as Abundance.

Limited but decent selection for its size. Convenience for people who live nearby is probably the biggest advantage. Has some good vegan/gluten free/etc options. Overall, its a great place to shop if you want to pay 25-100% more on your groceries in order to subsidize local hipsters.

Great selection of organic, local and fair trade products. Most staff is lovely and helpful. Really good prepared food and art work from a local artist

Very good I was here the first time. All organic and natural foods. I love the org. Produce and fruits. They give 1.00 for entertainment dollar spent on the produce section only. Its worth it, matching the $1.00 to SNAP customers. I just wished the eating- in section was open. The coffee in back of store is weighted beans I love this!! Wegmans used to have weight your own coffee, not anymore.. the items are a little. High, but theyre a bussiness Ill support, caz it supports local farmers too... Very earth loving conscientious..

Kind of fun. I have gone to the co-op when it was over on Monroe Ave. Always nice people work there, and unique stuff. I like the refrigerator section and the bulk food goods.

Cute little co-op with lots of health food products. I love the bulk bins (they even have bulk honey, tea, and soaps!). Its a little pricey for me but I do like to buy some things here. You can be a shareholder or just shop.

The cashiers are always super friendly. I love the feeling that Im contributing to my community as I shop and that profits go back into the neighborhood and shoppers. They have a really good selection of local foods and many healthy organic options. Also a great bulk section.

First time at the new location on South Ave. The expanded store seems to have added space (so less trouble navigating) but not a lot of new products. Not that that is a bad thing. They have always had a wonderful selection of natural foods. I just wish NY state wasnt so fussy about sales of raw milk.

AMAZING. A peaceful grocery experience. parking is a breeze. Sale items are often coupled with coupons, best deal around. LOCAL, ORGANIC, VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE, SPECIALTY DIETS, GREAT BULK SELECTION

Abundance has a wonderful selection of organic, natural products that you can trust. The people who work there are welcoming and its nice to know that when you shop there, you are supporting the local community. There are plenty of vegan options there as well.

The co-op is a great place for specialty dietary items like organic, gluten free, or local farm foods. They are a small co-op and so the prices are a bit higher than a large chain which can buy in massive quantities, but Abundance is trying to be more accessible to all folks in every socioeconomic bracket. To do this they offer a couple different programs for people with lower income, and bonuses for SNAP users buying whole produce. They also have a great bulk section with a good variety of spices,, and even with Covid-19 safety limits, you can still buy the popular bulk items in pre-packaged bags and containers. I miss being able to only get small amounts of exactly what I need for foods I only use occassionally, but I cant complain that they are working to keep us healthy and safe. My boyfriend loved the vegetarian options in the cafe, and still checks the cooler for premade take-home options that are great quick meals when we are out on the bikes and went further than we planned and need to refuel!

I can’t afford to shop here all the time but I love the bulk section and different kinds of products. I love that they have a compost exchange program.

Small but packed with tons of grocery items and can also buy some things in bulk

The new place on South Avenue is a much better design than the previous. More spacious and easier to navigate and find what you are looking for. Plus, plenty of space available for sitting and eating. I went to a class there and they had a whole separate conference room for us to use. Afterwards, I grabbed a few groceries and chatted with the extremely friendly employees. It was an all around good experience. :)

What a great selection of vegan and organic options

Everyone was kind and informative. The lady who helped me I believe...may have been owner. She gave me tour of where to find items and what the color cards were. She explained to me how to read the packages. She took her time out of labeling to assist me in the store. That meant an awful lot to me. Definitely would return. Jacob and the other gentleman were just as friendly, informative and helpful as well. Thank you!

Great store. I found some products that I really needed.

Buy spices, pasta, and oatmeal without packaging! Green and you dont have to buy more than you need. Bring your own jars. Very convenient.

Always positive

It is a great place to shop local produce at a great price. They also have a wide range of groceries and household products to choose from. They keep alternating deals/ discounts and coupons on various products as well as their produce so it is always fun shopping items on sale most of the times to keep things in budget.

Just had the absolute worst experience at Abundance. My 12 lb Boston terrier and I live right around the corner and we loved to walk there, quickly grabbing a few items and leaving. My Boston terrier is a well behaved, emotional support animal, with a certified letter that I carry with me at all times. She and I have been going there the last year and I have ALWAYS held onto her; never allowed her to walk on the floors as I understand not everyone is comfortable around animals. My dog and I have always felt welcome there; with a sign on the door to the affect of, “We Welcome Everyone” and no other associate in the last YEAR having an issue with my dog being in my arms....until today. Like any other day, I quickly walked in to grab an item (with my dog in my arms) and was stopped by a man named, Pete. Pete stated, “only service animals are welcome in CO-OP” and when I explained to Pete she was an emotional support animal and asked him if he would like to see my certified letter, he said no. Pete then proceeded to make a back handed comment and say, “I think service animals and emotional support animals are different. But I’ll let it go.” I was so taken back, as no other associate has EVER said a word to me about it before. Pete then made me feel so belittled for having my dog with me; Pete then proceeded to make it sound like he was doing me a favor by allowing me to buy the one item I came on for. I asked if Pete was a manager, and confirmed he said he was. Having worked in customer service for over 15 years, I have never been made to feel so ashamed during a 3 minute grocery store transaction. Prior to today, I was considering being a shareholder. But after this experience, I will NEVER be shopping there again. I try and support local business’s but places like Wegmans, Target, and Walmart have no issue with my dog being with me.

LOVE abundance! The prepared food is delicious and the staff are wonderful! I love that I can bring my own containers to be weighed and fill them! Large bulk section!

Tried out this place for the first time last weekend and I love it but it is a bit expensive so I think Ill only shop here for bulk foods, they have a pretty good selection of rice, beans, oats, etc.

I love hitting up this grocery store when Im in Rochester. Everything seems to have been made and/or chosen with a love of the planet in mind and if I lived in Rochester, I would definitely join this co-op. I wish I had something similar in my city.

The homemade butters are amazing. The staff is very helpful and they actually smile!

This is a great place to get locally made stuff thats otherwise hard to find.

Abundance has a great bulk foods selection and good prices! I love knowing that the food I buy there is better for me and better for the planet!

Has everything that we need as a small grocery store. Wish we could stay around the area long enough to become share holders. Amazing community!

Very friendly and helpful staff, even as I arrived under the wire right as they were closing

A little pricey, but I expected that. Loved the selection of organic food and the service was friendly. Id definitely shop there again!

Great little co-op! The bulk sections and prepared foods keep me coming back. Good values on coffee (both brewed and beans.) Great place to bring a big group to meet in the back room to talk over coffee or dinner.

Great atmosphere and fair prices. Great assortment of products and fresh foods made daily. Stop in.

My first time. Love it. A little out of my way, but worth it. I love that they have things like tea and spices in bulk. I got hot lunch here, and it’s delish, and vegan options!

I owned a Natural food store in the 1970s. This store is that I dreamed about!

Good selection or bulk foods.
