Willy Street Co-op—East

Rad- well known Co-op in downtown Madison. Coming from Chicago with a culinary/pastry background and particular tastes with affection for local and organic foods this place does not disappoint. The price point is what I expected if not a bit less expensive than the city. I'm def considering becoming a member. Friendly staff and considerate people who shop there as well- really a pleasant shopping experience for someone who dislikes going to the grocery store.

Always lots of locally-sourced items, health and wellness foods, natural foods, excellent meats and seafood as well as ready-to-eat foods, juice bar, salad bar and hot food stations. And the staff is super helpful and friendly. Some items are a bit expensive, but worth the price knowing they pay their vendors and staff a living wage. Though shopping the bulk goods sectionhelps to keep costs low. The are also great stewards in the community, supporting many local programs, charities, and education.

Most excellent neighborhood grocery! Parking lot available, but great to walk to - takes more planning to just buy what is easier to carry home, but you get some steps in and it's a feel good kind of thing. They won't have all the name brands, but generally something healthier and worth trying.

The go to co-op and natural foods store in Madison. I would give it a leg up over Jenifer Street market because of its larger size, assortment and modernized feel that doesn't come at the expense of it's local identity. Impressed by the specialty bakery, and recently they added a small beer assortment. Add on that they stock JBC coffee and you've got a winner.

I have been going to Willy Street Co-op since I was 3 years old. We love shopping for our customers especially those who have dietary restrictions. Thank you for making a place that is both welcoming and very high quality food. Keep up the great work!
