So many everyday and unusual products at a fraction of the price you would pay for the same thing in little bottles, boxes or jars. My favorites are oatmeal and spices. Second, the wine section often has good prices on decent wines. Not easy to find these days. Some of them are organic. And finally, there are some freshly prepared foods that make the co-op a destination store for me. Sushi. And those spicy samosas that are kept in the warmer near the soups. Especially the cabbage one! Apparently they are made by Zemen, the Ethiopian grocery on Maple, so you could also look for them there. That is the co-op the way I experience it. But it is waiting for you to discover your own - the possibilities are endless

It took me a minute to find this place and when I did I had to figure out where items were inside. Once inside I went about my way and figured out where things were. I browsed a bit and figured out what I needed and how much would fit in my bag. Metro is not the way to go to go full out grocery shopping. Making my way to the register was easy, but the speed of getting to one is not quick. When I did get to the register it wasn't the simplest thing to use either. While using them I felt like I was under a microscope being watched by the employees instead of being assisted. It would have been quicker if they could have seen I was struggling a bit. This would have been an easier stop if this was my local store, but when in the area I had to make do.

Make sure you at the bottom of any packaged items. I've found mold on my snap peas and garlic. I went today for tomatoes and it was hard to find an actual red one.

The tub of ice cream use to be around $4, it is now $8. The same tub is cheaper at Sam's Club and Costco. Once I was done and went to the line. They FORCE...FORCE YOU TO USE DEBIT. If you have a card that has both debit and credit....they do not know how to change it. I asked for a manager. They said he left and there was no one to talk to.

Over all this is a good place do your shopping but only thing is the check out. One star out because the check out is alwasy horrendous. The check out lines are alwasy closed. You will have to wait a good 20+ minutes just to check out on a normal day, weekends can take you longer and thats why I don't go there unless its very needed.

I paid for my iced coffee then stood in line at a regular register. The cashier asked me how much I wanted on the card; I replied $100. After several attempts at trying to ring it up without any luck, he told me to go to customer service. While waiting in the customer service line, the store manager comes up and says I need to purchase that at a regular register and not customer service. I showed him the cashier who told me to go to customer service. We both walked over to the register and he asked me for my ID and then analyzed my credit card to see that they matched!!! I was humiliated and embarrassed SO MUCH that I started crying and said: I have NEVER been asked to show ID to buy a gift card! I have never been required to verify the credit card was indeed mine! He said that was their policy for gift cards over $100... since when??? The store owner really should look at the store cameras for February 5th so they can see how awful I was treated by the tall bald-headed manager! I went back to the coffee bar and the kind staff member asked me what's wrong but I was so distraught, I couldn't clearly say... I have been coming to this location since 2016; and although the store environment is under construction, customer service should still be top-notch.

I was saddened by the decision to close the base and I think having a facility to care for veterans inside our city limits was important both symbolically and practically, and while the complex was still in various stages of construction when I stopped in, the hospital that once stood near here was not recognizably present. As to the store itself, it has a lot of standard things you'd expect to see, but I found some nice items on clearance. Self-checkout was available, if marginally functional, and I found a set of single-stall bathrooms to be a welcome development, but they were only available after checking out at the register. There was a lot of weird bush league behavior going on, including a car standing out front double parked after the driver dodged in for what I assume was an online order pickup. It seems like this largely vacant complex should have easier parking and more efforts to discourage bad behavior, but apparently I expect too much.

Not many cars were in the garage on a Sunday night. I needed milk, but I also came to buy some pastries for breakfast. I got pumpkin scones and almond croissants. Both were good, but not the most flavorful. I'm kind of partial to my French bakeries in Bethesda. However, if parking is always this easy, then I may make this my regular Whole Foods over Downtown Silver Spring. You do need to take a ticket, but then you self stamp your ticket at the machine by the door like the WF in College Park. It was very dark when I exited and took a few wrong turns to get back home the easy way. I will try again!
