The Co-op serves lunch Tuesday through Thursday, with some days devoted to gluten-free foods (e.g., Cajun red beans and rice and curry dishes), some to Italian, and others to Mexican and Asian. My favorite dishes are chilled gazpacho (in the summer), their yummy quiche, and their great Asian soup). If you're not free to lunch there or need provisions for a picnic, they have to-go containers and prepackaged slices of quiche, soup, sandwiches, etc. in the cooler at the back of the store.
The Co-op produces bakery goods daily, and I especially like their olive bread. I also visit the Co-op to purchase many difficult to find items, such as specialty cheeses (e.g., fresh mozzarella, Jarlsberg Swiss, aged Irish cheddar, etc.) and imported olives.
Seating is limited. There are three tables in the front of the store near the self-serve food service area, and another at the back of the store. Figuring out how the self-service works can take a moment, but the folks that work there are friendly and willing to explain the process.
One warning: they don't tag their pastries to show the date they are baked, so ask before purchasing to make sure what you're buying is fresh. read more
