I pick and choose based on quality and prices when I shop here. I buy items I cannot purchase anywhere else. I am a member. Apples are sometimes cheaper here when in season. Their Kale is wonderful! Their spices are great and you measure them out yourself. Their hot food line is delicious! I often get the salad greens and fixings since they are living and the enzymes of living foods get into your cells and detox body. The hot foods tastes great too. I love Lexis PESTO in small container is dynamic and you spread it over hot noodles with Parmesan cheese and olive oil. Get it all the time.There is a Bulk Section and you can obtain rice, peanut butters, nuts, etc. Lots of customers eat their lunches and dinners from the Hot and Cold Salad Bar and the food is organic and delicious. There is a sitting area outside with tables and chairs that people use. There is also a suggestion box and they are open to new ideas. Open minded people with organic foods is what makes this Co-Op unique.

Nice store with a moderate selection. Good seasonal produce. Nice bulk foods selection but weve had a couple "stale" purchases in the past, as you find anywhere. Prices are high-ish although they do have nice member discounts sometimes and I think members may get a small percentage discount across the board, although that might only be with volunteering, cant remember. Fresh coffee (they sell fair trade bulk, too) and prepared foods are quite good. Awesome cheese selection and their local product count seems to grow every time I visit. Tasty place for a healthy, quick lunch - there are a few tables out front, although most people do take-out. Sushi is decent. Baked goods are the bomb!

Its not conveniently located for me and parking is very limited. The organic products I used to purchase are mostly gone and what remains is frequently out of stock and the prices skyrocketed. They stopped carrying a great number of items to make room for prepared foods, beer and other beverages. If I wanted that stuff, Id go to a grocery store. Now Im stuck either not being able to afford the foods Id like or I cant get them at all. Although a second location on Hertel would be much handier, if selection is just as awful, Im not sure Ill be going there any more often.

Awesome place. Very well rounded. You can find just about everything you need. I dont do my regular shopping there but would like to someday. Prepared food anD salads etc are also very good. Prices are about what you expect. I also love their seasonal things like the christmas trees and herbs etc. If you havent been there, go! They have seating outside too if you want to pick up a few items and a lunch or snack you can feel good about! Its right in the heart of the best part of Elmwood too so you can take advantage of everything EV has to offer.

I LOVE the co-op! Ive been working here for just about three years and it is by far the best job Ive had! My co-workers are wonderful, the shoppers are involved and invested, and the overall atmosphere is down to earth and super homey! We offer a plethora of organic,local, and equal exchange options while catering to those who prefer conventional. The co-op is a community establishment while 52 cents of every dollar stays local. Shopping at the co-op is an easy and pleasant way to make your money count. Highly recommend! Stop in and say hello!

Their hot bar is a lifesaver when it comes to late nights at work. Food is always superb and different. Youll end up surprising yourself when you decide on a whim to scoop up vegan salmon mac n cheese and end up loving them so much that you wish they had them everyday. This place is great. Be a member! Its a one time fee...totally pays off plus helps support the co-op. The smells are free.

My second home! The Lexington CoOp is a delightful shopping experience with a personal touch. A great selection of local, organic, bulk and deliciously prepared foods is available. Enjoy outdoor tables in the good weather. Patience is needed for parking at peak times but a parking attendant is most helpful.

My regular grocery store. I love their small but excellent hot and cold bar, soup selections, and pre-made grab and go sandwiches and salads. Excellent produce, packaged meats, and healthy foods. I like the size of the store, everything I need without the distraction of cooking gadgets and lawn furniture.

Lexington Market is a shop of high quality fresh products even if prices are sometimes relatively high. Some products are also locally sourced. The staff are the best, very friendly and professional. I really enjoyed doing my shopping there. The shop is small but they have almost everything.

A great, small well-stocked healthy food market, with a prepared food hot bar, fresh bread and sandwiches and lots of organic choices. It boasts a large section of bulk items, and fresh produce. You will find a high quality of merchandise in all sections, but it can be pricy at times.

You know... Its a little more expensive but thats the price of not being a 1000x location grocery store. The prepared foods have been my lunch for the last few weeks. The pumpkin muffins are the best and the chocolate chip banana muffins are even better.

The idea of a democratic business and workplace is fantastic. The worker-owners are caring and nice. The food is all fresh, organic, and local. Prices are reasonable and the food that they cook and prepare in-store is delicious.

The Lexington Coop has really fresh produce, killer baked goods and super friendly and welcoming employees. I love going food shopping at the Lexington Coop and would highly recommend it to anyone! Definitely a gem of Buffalo!

Whats not to love. Community based co op. With the freshest most delicious goods in town. Feels good knowing your shopping not just in the community but for the community. The staff is great as well; everything is just great.

Love love love my Co-op! Great organic & whole food selections. Nice bakery/deli with tons of great food options. Parking can be dicey during peak times but they usually have an attendant that helps with getting cars in & out.

They carry some vegan items that are nearly impossible to find anywhere else. This co-op really filled in the missing pieces to my grocery list. They have an excellent bulk section and fresh, local, and organic produce.

My favorite grocery store in Buffalo. Member owned and stocked with a wide variety of healthy foods. They also have a hot bar, salad bar, and soup if you want to grab a healthy meal on the run.

I love this place! The manager Tim is outstanding. They have lots of healthy options and a really nice staff. This is what Buffalo is all about! Thanks for working so hard!

Good little store for a city location. Makes the most of the space. Attentive department employees. Good produce. Orders of magnitude better than their sister store on Hertel.

Great place! Prices on bulk are pretty good. Packaged goods are fair, they do offer some non-owner sales. Love the organic produce, often more organic choices than Wegmans!
