We've started shopping here almost exclusively since the pandemic (trying to avoid larger places). The produce selection is great and they have all of the vegan things I need. The prepared foods are delicious. I also enjoy that almost everything is local where possible or from responsible brands, so I don't even have to think about avoiding buying from \evil\ corporations

My favourite place to shop for food in Buffalo. I love the Elmwood Village area so much which is where the co-op is. They sell so many local products, whether that’s produce, dairy, even tea and coffee. Many of them are labeled with the area that they are produced in. They sell prepared food as well. The staff is always so friendly too. Such a great neighbourhood spot.
I've been a member of various food coops for 40 years, & this is less a coop than an overpriced health food store. The board & management are ill-informed about the politics of food. They routinely compromise coop principles for the sake of attracting members, & they refuse to participate in boycotts, even against the most egregiously destructive companies like Nestle. As a result, the shelves are loaded with products from large corporations that operate in unprincipled ways, including Nestle, Coca-Cola, & General Foods. Also, the supposed benefits of membership are largely meaningless. There's little here you can't buy at Wegman's for much less; member discounts & perks are too few & too infrequent; the Board operates with little meaningful member input; & the rules for a member vote on important issues are so restrictive that it never happens.
Best place for fresh produce. Great selection. Pretty fair prices.
Such a great co-op! You can shop there even if you're not a member, though if you live nearby it's definitely worth becoming a member. 80/one time fee and you can get discounts on certain items and other perks. Plus you're supporting a local business! The amount of vegan goodies here is insane! So many vegan fresh baked goods in their fresh bakery section, like cookies, cupcakes, apple crumble to die for, peanut butter cups, and more. Also a ton of vegan options in their prepared foods section. Tempeh sandwiches, wraps, marinated ginger tofu, kimchi poppers, buffalo tofu poppers with vegan Bleu cheese...I could go on. Then in the regular grocery section there are lots of vegan products and they often have great sales. The bulk section is also quite extensive. Unfortunately it's closed currently cuz of covid but you can still get bulk prices and goods that come in pre packaged containers. Everyone there is super nice, I love shopping here (and I hate grocery shopping).
