Good Foods Co-op

After seeking out Co Ops during work trips for 10+ years, this is one of my favorite in the entire country. Fantastic selection of bulk foods, gran and go food, deli hot food bar, salad bar, coffee/tea/juice/smoothie bar, and other unique products. Folks in Lexington should not take this place for granted and if you can, please shop here even if you can’t afford the membership joining fee. You can still reap the health benefits of what this place has to offer, including supplements and vitamins.

Good bulk food store with some fantastic specialty products in the spice section and elsewhere. The bulk food section could use gluten free flour, peanut butter protein, and whey protein. The granola is a little overpriced too ( 7 bucks a pound on average). But they are the only option for bulk food in Lex so take what you can get. Bulk coffee beans are in dirty dispensers which had a heavy buildup of rancid oil coating the sides. For light roast coffee, you don't want to see oily beans. So for 16 bucks a pound on average you are getting an inferior coffee. All of the granola currently on hand is gluten free but not necessarily celiac friendly and is around 5 bucks a pound. Charging 16 dollars a pound for gluten free granola is a ripoff given the supply of gluten free foods. A WinCo food store in Lexington would provide healthy competition for this establishment's bulk section.

Great local fresh food. Wonderful hometown feel. My family and I loved our first adventure. We found all kinds of local products and a wide range of wellness items. This is now one of my top favorite shops here in Lexington.

A very wholesome place to buy food. I especially like the aisle where you can get things from laundry detergent to nuts and spices in bulk and you can bring your own containers. The products are high quality even though some of them can be expensive. I also love the cafe in the back. The spinach and feta cheese croissant was lovely.

The last four times (at least) I have come home with a molded or defective product. I love to support local, so I keep coming back, but I think I’ve reached the end. Many times I have bought molded Lexington Pasta (not cheap). Bought a $15 jar of mustard that I had to bring all the way back in to have someone open it, after having everyone in my life try to open it… Now I went to make a sandwich and noticed the bread I bought (best by 4/10) has several bugs crawling inside the bag. I’ve never opened it. With the prices I pay, I expect much better quality. Very disappointing, especially since I do not have time to run back into the store for a refund when things are expired or gone bad.
