I have a soft spot in my heart for co-op grocery stores. I like the model and dig the hippie vibe. But mostly I like places where food sourcing is placed high on the list of determining what is being sold. Hands-down my favorite aspect of Other Avenues is the bulk foods selection. All of your nuts, flours, granolas, and snacks and you can buy however much youd like. This isnt Rainbow Grocery in terms of breadth, but it is more than you can want for a local grocery trip. They have a great beauty selection for natural products as well in terms of non-edibles. The staff is friendly, but vary a bit in terms of customer service. If youre out in the avenues go and check it out--in some sense they have cornered the market out here for organic and natural groceries. The prices remain reasonable despite their location monopoly.

It takes all kinds of people to love all kinds of food and all kinds of people to decide what to offer their neighborhood. Other Avenues is a relatively new place for me and I love the selection of teas, almond butter, loose eggs and snacks. Im not sure if I fit into the culture sometimes when I am left to bag all my stuff instead of being given a hand. Individuality vs Neighborly help is how I addressed the situation with my friend after feeling like the nice woman I conversed with and paid at the counter didnt help me out one bit. Im prepared now but feel like more help would be great and I promise to bag with you.

Firstly I tied my dog to a pole when I walked in. When I came out some half-baked hippie employee poured soap water on it because he had to clean the street and my dog was in a way. Secondly I am sure the check out manager put a curse on me for using a credit card, and when I asked for a bag I was struck with fear that he was about to stab me with a tofu pike across my heart. Thirdly, their produce is way too expensive but lack in quality. Lastly, did I mention they abuse dogs and are anal about bags? I live 4 blocks away but I will drive to Rainbows if I am in a mood for something healthy.

Wow, this is a great little grocery store. The produce is top notch. They have nearly everything you need. If you are staying locally and walking, 7-11 down the street can supplement your needs for common items. Otherwise, Other Avenues is the place to go if you are making a salad or looking for delicious, healthy fruit.

5 stars for the awesomeness of this co-op for staying in business so many years. For a store their size they keep a good selection of groceries. I appreciate being able to get foods that meet my dietary restrictions thats in my neighborhood and committed to worker owners.

Great local grocery store with super friendly staff. The produce is all organic and I got the most delicious hard-to-find organic corn here the other day. Parking is all metered on the street. This is a great spot for inexpensive groceries in the city.

Best selection of organic green teas, which you can buy from the bulk jars. Wonderful place to shop, but the organic produce prices are a little high.

Best health food store in the entire universe. They pack more into the little store than bigger stores overdue. Most knowledgeable.

A bit pricier than rainbow, and with a smaller selection....but easier to get to if you live out by the beach.

Small but well stocked coop. Good selection of bulk items and specialty cheeses.
