Portland Food Co-op,

290 Congress Street, Portland, ME 04101

"Great little grocery with a lot of variety. I'm a chef in the area and the coop is one of my go to spots to get ingredients for rounding out last minute ideas, or when we run out of something. I like their pre-made burritos and different sodas too for a quick pre shift meal to go."

"Never come to this establishment if you want good customer service. The folks who work here are never friendly (especially check out) I like to support local establishment as much as I can, but when you never have a good experience and you feel out of place every time. Sorry I don’t want to support people who cant be bothered with your presents."

"Great variety of yummy and local food. High priced, as expected, but sometimes it's nice to splurge. However, the folks who work the register are quite rude and very unfriendly. And I have found this to be the case almost every time I have been there. They act as though you are an inconvenience - no hello, no thank you, sometimes no response at all even when asked a question! For a place that touts itself as being a big part of the community it might benefit them to be kind to the community who shops there. It's hard to justify paying for high end groceries when you are treated like that."

"Small market, but it has most things we needed. I appreciated the degree to which the store makes an efforrt to support local farmers. The prices are higher than in most other stores, but the quality is worth the extra cost. I'd definitely return if we lived in the area."

"Nice store with good local organic produce as well as many vegetarian options. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. The bulk items are great."
