Best produce in Madison after the farmers market. I cant say that anything in the store is unhealthy. Great selection of skin care products and supplements. Not to mention the root and herbal section.

I love Willy St Co-op. I enjoy every part of the store, from the juice bar to the goat cheeses, and from the veggies to the Herbal Medicine. Its the best place for healthy foods!

We have Coffee at Willy Street Co-Op every day at 4pm. My Husband is British so its tea time. We havent seen any Tea Houses in Madison and your Coffee is very good so we make due. Our only problem is, why do all the Coffee Houses in Madison close at 3:00? The Coffee culture is strong in California! Here not so much. Thanks for the good Coffee!

I was visiting Madison, I needed to do a quick grocery run. I saw the co-op thought this would be a good place to stop. Great co-op! Much larger than my home co-op lots of high quality organic stuff . I visit Madison monthly, this is my new spot!

Willy St Co-op is the bees knees! I can get all kinds of high quality produce, non-dairy items, good tofu, house made treats, good meats, and my favorite body and health products in one place. I shop Willy street and Middleton locations. Middleton has a bigger health/beauty section. Can’t beat the original location for good vibes! Thank you Willy St Co-op I heart you!

I love the co-op. I appreciate the vegan options available from the hot bar and also in the cooler section. Good selection of products and staff is helpful.

Well organized and great service. I love that the customer service center is right in the front when you enter for quick questions when youre in a hurry. They always have interesting variety fruits and vegetables to buy. I could eat their homemade granola in the bulk section every day. They have about 6 different kinds that are all delicious.

Im a member--you save $ for a nominal fee. Excellent produce, meats, gluten-free and vegetarian. Nice selection of very good cheese. I dont dislike anything about it except that its too far away.

Great place to shop.employee and community owned. Great variety of natural and organic food and other products

The hot bar is my favorite. Cashiers are always kind and attentive. I do wish eating healthier wasnt so costly financially, but I also want to live longer, so se la vie.

Best produce in Madison.Local and organic. Prices are outrageous.

Vast arrary of products, this store is filled from top to bottom. Every aisle is carefully planned to utilize optimal shelf space.You need not be a member to shop here, and the staff is very helpful and friendly.The outdoor seating area is relaxing and quaint. I loved their outdoor wood barrel floral plantings!

I love Willy Street Coop...its in many ways the heartbeat of the east side.

This is hands down the best co-op. I am not from Madison but stop here every time Im in town. Clean, organized, well stocked, great deli, bakery, produce sections and excellent service.

Nice store with a great variety of healthy choices. Also, they have many beauty and vitamin choices. Prices are pretty high!

I was a bit torn on my rating. On one hand it was an extremely pleasant experience and all the produce was wonderful. On the other hand it was quite expensive if you don’t have the co-op. If you live in Madison it’s an amazing place with wonderful workers and reasonable prices. If you’re just in the area like we were, it’s still very nice but could be a bit expensive for some fresh produce. It is organic however!

I had new in the area coupons, so the total bill was great. The produce was extremely fresh, and the iced coffee hit the spot.

Love this place! Very busy. Great quality! Always nice helpful people

I love buying from this place, because it supports local farmers

Who is the employee saying “don’t make it a habit of coming in here” and alleging a person of color is using food stamps… when the food they chose is not covered by food stamps anyway? thank you to madison365 for showing what it’s like to shop here

I love the produce selection here. Its just awesome to have a place to buy lots of organic and high quality local foods. Excellent service, and a beautiful store.

If you have medical exemption for masks, do not come here! I even wore a facial covering, despite my breathing issues and exemption and was told my mask was not good enough and not to come back. Was Cussed out by customer on way out of the door. This place has zero to do with health and 100% about hoity-toity virtue signaling.

Good juice bar. Limited menu but fresh made on the spot.

Nice place. Good service

Always nice friendly ppl. The store seems clean. Wish there were more options in vegan cheeses and vegan prepared meals.

I love the co=op! I have been a member here for a couple years and love the atmosphere, ethics, and quality of the food. It is a bit on the pricier side and I imagine if you have kids it might be out of budget, but for a single person its perfectly fine!Theres a bit of an elephant-in-the-room situation at the East co-op with the panhandling that occurs at the exits. Im very sympathetic to these folks and will usually give them whatever change I have, but since covid sometimes dont have any. Theres one person in particular who can get a big aggressive. The last time I visited the co op this person approached me asking for cash, I apologized and said I had to go. I think by my voice they realized Im transgender, and proceeded to start yelling slurs and me and following me and harassing me for some time. I know theyre just trying to get by, but I dont feel comfortable coming visiting anymore :( another friend of mine has also been harassed. Theres not really a good solution, which sucks, because I miss the espresso brownies like mad. If you dont come on foot I imagine its easier to avoid!

Great quality service and excellent variety of items to choose from.

Lots of local products: we bought some amazing corn chips, some wings to make for tomorrows game, some local carrots to juice, and some gluten free mini sausages. A great selection of gluten free and vegan items and fresh produce. Checked out the handcrafted mittens and hats and got a fun pair of unicorn cat socks. We are members of another coop so enjoyed a discount as well.

Ive been a member since 1981. Always great products and reasonable prices. Customer service is very good.

They have liquid cod liver oil and other supplements. Some cosmetics. Meat counter. Beverage ☕ counter. Organic food.

What a delight to find this co-op. I have been a member of a co-op, natural food buying club, etc. since living in Chicago, Illinois some 44years ago. This Willy Street Co-op has the atmosphere and organic offerings that make my heart sing.

Perfect place for organic food shopping. Large range of varieties in all types of and fooditem. Helpful and supportive staff.

Good selection for a small urban co-op. A lot of fluctuation in prices, but that is probably due to being in the city. Good coffee.

During our short trip to Madison we stopped here multiple times. Super unique products & options. Bakery, hot bar, groceries, grab & go prepared foods, etc. Super affordable and very friendly staff. We didnt need to be a member to shop.

Best produce and food selection of non/international foods in town. Most local and organic possible.It’s sad how they’re values are changing over time, and they are no longer allowing musicians to play on property for donation. The culture is slowly becoming more and more mainstream.And yet i still almost only shop here.

It is a bit on the pricey side. On the other hand the staff members are nice, it smells wonderful, and overall vibe is amazing. I highly recommend going here.

Always wonderful service. Amazing produce and lots of local products.

Super helpful staff.

A little smaller than the others. Not bad though. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Way above and beyond.

Great little locally-owned grocery store. We stop in for small items, drinks, and fruit when were in town. The fact that its a co-op is just a nice added plus.

Great choice of produce, spices, prepared food, and many more. A bit expensivefor college students budget.

Willy east is the best place for local food in Madison. They have awesome inclusive staff that make me feel extra good and welcome:) love it there...in fact maybe Ill go there RIGHT NOW

Real food, good price!

My favorite and the og of coops. Welcoming, knowledgeable and kind humans here.

Great selection of fresh local organic produce & groceries as well as conventional. Buy local at the coop.

I love the coop. This is pretty much the only place I shop, unless forced to go elsewhere. Personally, the not so hot fruit/veggie section is my fav. Never know what I will find there. It is also important, for me, to spend as much money as I can locally. In keeping it local... Higher wages.. Better standard of living for all. I will happily buy that dented tomato :)

A great place to find local options for produce and groceries.

Looking for heart healthy foods.

PROPER produce!!Well done!Cheers-

Great place to get organic goods and delicious deli items. Try their reuben sandwich and senegalese peanut soup, 10/10.

My first visit and cant wait to come back very cool place

Just looking for some healthy snacks and good drinks for a 2 day road trip!

Parking is at a premium except in the morning. Clean, very COVID19 careful. Excellent quality produce and bulk grains and legumes. Very good meats. Deli pretty much shut down during pandemic. Really good baked goods. LOVE their banana bread. Friendly staff. Good handicapped accessibility. This place is an institution in Madison for good reason.😁

I love this co-op and try to always stop here when Im in Madison.

They have everything a health conscious person could want.

Fresh organic foods and unique products not found in other stores.

Great food store with a real eclectic selection of unique foods and wines.

Atmosphere since 2002 hyped out at this Location!, Needs more stable atmosphere like North store!! Store also needs milder variety of Cashew Cheese Sauces !!

One that is famliar with the Co-op culture long before it was trendy and hip, and had a more cooperative mission. I found this place too punkish, hipster-heavy and far overpriced with lower quality of food, based on my experience with the hundreds of natural foods stores I have been to. The quality of food here is medicore. As I was checking out, the lady had to check in my bakery bag, even though I told her what I had, and she still could not figure it out, after how many of these pastries and muffins have you seen checking customers out?!! Also, I really dislike cashiers, feeling and opening, and looking into the bags like that because it is professional, often damages the baked goods, and is asinine. This is a great place if you like snooty and rude people because I buy organic foods shipped from local CSA farms, organic from Mexico is the norm and imported from Cali also, which without CA, most of the co-ops (and grocery stores would cease to exist).Ran into customers who think they are the bee knees, and the clueless, uninformed or misinformed employees who could not answer my questions. This place is overpriced, organic and local (overused buzzword that has taken on a whole different meaning)...foodstuffs and drinks, that is now entrenched in the Co-op world of profit and sales, and charging prices and catering to people who are weathiler. Meaning it does excludes poorer, low-class health conscious people, yes, they do exsist (even with low-income discounts), who can shop there.Yeah, there is good food here, if you can afford, and in reality, being the food business for decades, the quality of foodstuffs, even organic, is below average and not as good as people believe it to be. If you really want to eat locally, living in an all year-round temperate climate conducive to growing foods year round is ideal, and away from where most of soils are not posioned and mineral depleted. I like organic and better grown foods also, sadly it is way more expensive..All-in-all, my first experience here was not very pleasant and probably do not fit in, anymore, with the co-op way of doing business..Too liberalized and full of hipsterish music, community-justice and thinking that everyone can have affordable access to food at premium prices...If you are on a budget, you cannot shop here all the time, and can easily drop $100 and not get a whole ton, and food-stamps (SNAP) only go so far within a month.

Great grocery store for alternative products. The Seafood Center is outstanding.

Great food co-op. Very nice fresh produce.

Great place to purchase pot luck item.

Super nice people, amazing selection of locally roasted coffee and other provisions. Lots of healthy food choices.

Over 13 years as a member of the Willy. Great selection of organic and natural foods. I appreciate the body care and personal product offerings. Pricing is great.

Very good shopping experience for high-quality food.

Excellent salad bar. I particularly love the peanut tofu spicy cabbage. It is excellent side for a fresh salad.

Terrific staff, bulk bins, cruelty free meats, delicious bakery.... Its pretty awesome here.

I was blown away by the variety of fruits, veggies...everything!😄

Good quality food. Good people.

We buy A2 milk from Willy Street regularly and at timed the fresh produce too. I love the variety of vegetables and fruits here. They are always fresh and looks and tastes great. The price is slightly on the higher end but still worth the price. Would definitely recommend to my friends here.

Well stocked with local goods

Long time pillar of the Madison community. Great produce, deli, all sort of local and exotic foods.Not unusual to see waist long dreadlocks on some staff and customers.They honor the co op discount of other local coops.Willy St has expanded to another top shelf, full service food market on University Ave. In Middleton. Great place for take home meals.You should go.

If you’re driving a semi truck with a sleeper and a 53’ trailer, better have those tandems all the up and get here early like 3-4 am early. It’s one tight blind side back to get into the dock to unload.

Kind of pricey and only carry organic so you cannot find cheaper produce there, Aldi is still cheaper. Most other stuff is also on the pricier side vs other stores with the same products. Lots of variety in product though, especially in the nonfood section.

Awesome Co-op!! Full of all the classic and known products plus unique deli items and other local and regional products.

Amazing selection and good prices!

So far every shopping experience has been great. Love the fact that you can buy bulk! (Not everything but a good amount of things)

Love these co-ops and the variety that they carry!!! Super fresh produce and bulk foods that are so hard to find!

Great grocery store!

Drea was exceptionally helpful.

They are conscientious about limiting the amount of customers into the store at a time. Everyone was masked and the store was clean and the workers helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable.

A good grocery store. Lots of options with an efficient layout. The staff is super helpful.

A really nice community coop, full of great food, drinks and other products for keeping yourself healthy and looking good. You can get sandwiches, pizzas and juices made to order. There is also a handy delicatessen where you can find ready made dishes and delectables if youre on the run. I always appreciate a well stocked produce section full of good looking fruits and vegetables. The staff we talked to were friendly, smiling and helpful. Williamson Street is a very interesting and eclectic part of Madison. The whole street is worthy of visit with interesting shops and places to eat. The coop is the anchor of this cool neighborhood. Wonderful place for vegetarians and vegans. Go check it out

High end food store with organic, local and often hard to find items. Become a member and save, participate in community decisions and make a difference in the community.

Love just walking around here to see whats new. Found tobacco and coffee scented soap (smells AMAZING) and lamb sausages today 😋 Service is wonderful here! Good vibes.

Hands down one of the best co-ops in the country. High quality produce that lasts many days in the fridge with bargain bins for the produce thats a little past due. Wide variety of fresh meat, cheeses, and bulk foods, soaps, teas, and spices. The large footprint helps give them space for the variety, but the store is also clean, bright, well-operated, and staffed by friendly, knowledge people. Coffee bar, juice bar, olive bar...I find myself coming here whenever were in town because our local coop (same chain, different city) just doesnt compare. Hats off to the board for the consistent quality youve achieved for so many years!

Great store with helpful employees and clean restrooms

My first time here & the fruit selection was wonderful & delicious. They had the Paleo Puffs that i was looking for.

Always good

Its the Willy street Co-Op, what can I say? Friendly, helpful staff, organic foods, very clean and well organized store. I am a member, always will be a loyal customer. Even the outdoor art is amazing. Outdoor seating for having your lunch or a snack, and a Little Free Library for reading.🤩☀️

Pricy but they cary duck eggs

Expensive, but a large section of organic products

Am member also...find exact type of sodasj and jams l seek. Staff is down to earth!!!

Im a big fan of holistic and natural health and medicine, and this store has it all; normally your best bet is to go to Woodmans, or even Whole Foods, and pick your way through the store to find all the organic/local/environmentally friendly/vegan/etc. options, but Willy St. Co-Op ONLY carries those options. The employees are friendly and knowledgeable, and the co-op aspect is affordable and practical. I love the location too; the store sits in a very accepting, sort of hippie neighborhood, which is very fitting.

So clean and organized, will come again and again. Staff so friendly and willing to help.

Sale prices are great!

Nice Covid procedures. I appreciate that.

Atmosphere here since 2002 is hyped out and stressful, needs more stable atmosphere like North Store!!, & needs milder Cashew Cheese Sauces options!!

Everything is a little pricey but I love this place. The local and organic food sold there always tastes so good. I love how they try to stock with as much stuff from Madison and the local area as they can. The food on the hot bar is always good and fresh. The barbecue is the best! They have an area where you can sit and eat your food too. There is also a community like room that I think you can rent out and use for events. Most of the time there is someone playing beautiful live music outside the door. Watch out for the people asking for money at the entrance. It gets really annoying when you live next door, go in there almost every day and its always the same person asking for money. I work two jobs to hard to just give it away to someone who does not want to contribute to society.

Willy Street Coop is a great grocery store. They gave excellent choices for people with food allergies or who want to eat less processed foods.They have vegan baked goods for reasonable prices giant cookie 1.25, a tasty ready made food and salad section. You can bottle your own kombucha on a tap. They have a pressed juice and coffee bar. There is an indoor and outdoor sitting area. Unlike many natural food stores they have single drink beverages for reasonable prices like .50 to .70 for a can of flavored water or natural soda which you can then enjoy in the sitting area. Parking can be an issue as can traffic.
