I love the Durham Co-op and not gonna lie, I'm so glad its survived all these years. Yes, the…read moreprices are a smidge high and yes they don't have everything you need, but still, it's always a wonderful stop to grab some essentials, and things you never know you needed. Like a fox candle! Ha! I love seeing how they have new vegetables and produce every now and then. Back in the day before the pandemic (and maybe they still have this?), they'd have nights where there was a select menu and you could have a weeknight meal for an affordable price. Kind of like Cafeteria food. They gave you coins to pay for it, and the turn out was always so robust. It was a really nice way to get the community together and also try dishes that you probably hadn't had in a while, or even ever. I remember those events, being the talk of the town. My friends would mark on their calendars that it was a "no-cook night" and to meet them there. Fun times. I've been meaning to sign up for their owners program, that is on my to-do list. By donating a certain amount to the co-op, you become a founding member and help support the co-op. It's a sweet way to be involved and invest in the Durham community. I also love the parking situation at the co-op, you are never fighting for a place to park, and the parking spots are not razor thin. At the front of the store, there is a grassy area with picnic benches, and I find it so inviting. People are having lunch dates there, sharing snacks, and just enjoying the weather. I will say though, the co-op is one of those places that I have to remember to go to. Now that I'm writing out all that I love about it, I will continue to keep it on my mind.

Great neighborhood resource for groceries, bulk items, charcuterie, wine, and self-care items…read more They've got a deli (goods made fresh and also offered for heat-and-eat) and a small butcher counter. All the staff are friendly and helpful, and you won't take your life into your hands if your park in their lot. Think Whole Foods, only smaller and with fewer super high-end items.

However, I will not stand for "Be back in 10 minutes" notes on the door in the middle of the day, especially when you really mean 20+ minutes. I understand that you sometimes have to leave unexpectedly, but don't undershoot the time in order to benefit your business: give your customers the respect they deserve by telling the truth so that they aren't stuck waiting outside for nothing like fools. If your store is no longer convenient (aka open during marked business hours), then I'll go elsewhere.

Don't worry if you don't speak Spanish, everyone here will take the time to make sure that you're getting what you want..the butchers are fantastic people! Ambience: it's a grocery store but it's FULL of food, some of which is not available in your regular grocery store. Great selection of Mexican products. I'd recommend the pork chops, smoked or cut thick from the butcher. The produce is great and the variety is very cool. ENJOY!!

The meat department is so much better than any chain grocery store. You're going to get better quality meat where the meat texture is right. They have spices, vegetables and other commodities.

As you enter there is a sign that tells you to go look at the menu board, pick out your drink, and go back to the counter to order. I grabbed a diet coke, and ordered a Common Cobb. I was a bit surprise when my total came to $18, as my salad was only $14 but I guess I should have paid attention that my bottle of soda was over $3. How much are the fountain drinks, I wonder? I found us a table inside since it was a bit hot that day (there is also plenty of seating outside AND inside if you go downstairs). The table and floor were messy but someone quickly came to clean it for me. They called our names over the loudspeaker and my best friend went to go get our food. She got the MotherClucker. Our food was REALLY good. If you like Cobb salad, you will definitely like this one. The chicken was pan seared perfectly, the vinaigrette was perfectly tangy and the bleu cheese was especially excellent. My friend's chicken sandwich has SO MUCH chicken salad on it. Impressive. There was so many neat items to see in the place. The murals were great, there were some cute retail spaces, a coffee bar up front, a bar downstairs, and ice cream outside! Unfortunately my bestie and I had too much to talk about so we didn't check it out as much as I otherwise wood. I would definitely try this place again!
