Small corner, maybe fits about 6 adults at counter seating (no tables). They had some games - connect four, hook on the ring and cribbage. Cute little kids area too. Pizza: well this was big for us as a party of two so we have the other half left over. The crust was so crunchy. Toppings were delicious! Real clams, creamy. I thought this pizza got better with each bite. Super cheesy, pulls apart. Would definitely come back to order their other ones!

We all got grilled cheese variations with apples, salad and soup as sides. The chicken bacon ranch grilled cheese was overall the best. Both of the salads had rotten leaves, so best to avoid that unless you're ok picking through for good leaves. Service 5/5: the food came quickly and the staff was very friendly. Ambiance 1/5: we were very disappointed overall since they hype themselves up as an experience that includes cows. There were no cows in sight. I know during the summertime they will have baby cows, but overall to me there should be more transparency around not actually seeing cows when you visit the creamery. Other than that there is a small parking lot that can get very busy at times, but plenty of places to sit. We did love the kids playground outside but all of the bikes were broken/didn't work and the bags put away for corn hole. Overall we were really disappointed at this trip. No cows and lunch was just ok. If you are looking for a spot just for ice cream, they have amazing options and plenty of room for the kids to play, just don't tell your kids there are cows because you likely won't see any.

There is a large selection of both frozen and fresh meats available in both bulk and for personal consumption. One of the highlights of this place is the continually weekly rotating "Deals of the Week." There is normally several selections of meat (beef, poultry, and fish) and at least one selection of cheese. They also have a modest selection of beer, wine, and liquors in the store with surprisingly good prices (some of the beer is more expensive than other places, but I have found great prices on bourbon here).

A new, lovely space on the north side. I stopped in after a meeting in the same shopping plaza to…read morecheck things out since it's been years since I've been in any of the Co-ops. I made a loop around the store that started with produce, then into a very small bakery area and the hot bar/deli area, into the cold section and shelves, and finally through the frozen section. There are a lot of organic, natural, and alternative-diet food items and a wider array of veggie products than you'll encounter at a regular grocery store. I had hoped to find graham flour here, but they didn't carry it in either their bulk flours up front, nor in the baking aisle. One thing that stuck out to me is that prices are all over the place. Some things are much cheaper than you'll find them in typical grocery stores, while others are sticker-shock expensive. For example, Field Roast veggie sausages were around $5, while they go for closer to $7 at most other places around Madison. On the flip side, there was a rising crust pizza for I think $6 that I just picked up for $3.50 at another store. One thing I will say is that the vibe of the Co-op is different from any other grocer I've been to, in that it seemed like hangout spot. Lots of people were shopping in pairs with friends and chit-chatting away with each other and the staff. It's definitely got more of a community/small-town corner shop feel in that way. I have a gift card for the Co-op burning a hole in my wallet, so I'll have to pop back through again when I have more time to browse and don't have specific items in mind.

I was hopeful when I saw the stocked shelves with specialty foods and the fridges and freezers. They have some good choices, although not tons of inventory. It definitely reads like a sideline business to the counter in the back. I got myself a tuna sub. That was good and the bread was excellent. I also brought home a couple slices of veggie lasagna for dinner. BF liked it better than I did there. The veggies were plentiful, but a touch beyond al dente, verging on just raw. The "sauce" was just peeled tomatoes. Not my style. It did have some flavor. As for service - the woman working the deli counter was nice once I got up there, but the younger man who checked me out said nothing at any point. The whole experience left me feeling like it was just basic and blah.
