Sugar Beet Food Co-op

I love small neighborhood stores. This store offers a walk up window for coffee and cafe items which I think is wonderful for people out walking or just want to grab a quick breakfast. The store offers everything from produce, cold items, household products, personal care and more. They have a section for grab and go sandwiches which I did get a multi grain turkey sandwich. Although the cost was $7 it was very well made and tasty. I also bought some almond scented soap, pancake mix, syrup, bagged coffee and two greeting cards. I think people who live in this neighborhood are very lucky to have a small store like this in their community. I will be back! The employees were pleasant and the store was very well organized.

I shop here mostly for the bulk section and specialty items that I haven't found anywhere else, such as the bison and wild boar meat from the freezer, bakery-fresh breads, and assorted snacks. I also buy local eggs from here. If I'm going to use it all right away, I will also get produce from here. The best peach I ever had in my life came from here. It was so sweet and juicy that I had to eat it over my sink as to not make a mess. The experience of shopping here really depends on who else is in the store. I've had great experiences, and I've had bad/very awkward experiences. The most notable time was when I was 36 weeks pregnant, high-risk, and I was doing a bigger shopping haul because I was going to meal prep a bunch of freezer meals before my 37 week induction. It was my 2nd time there, and the first time was great, so I felt comfortable enough to go again. I was in the lane with the longer conveyor belt, and the person ringing in the other lane with the shorter counter space, called me over. I asked if they could accommodate my large order, and they said yes. I wasn't aware I was expected to bag all of my things becausethe first time i went therethe person ringing me up bagged it without even hinting that I should. I was having a hard time bending and twisting and breathing being so far in my pregnancy, with a 9lb baby squeezing against my lungs, but I tried my best. Both the person in back of me and the person ringing me up were impatient with me and I wanted to cry right there because I was in so much discomfort and it was clear they just wanted me to hurry up and move on. I was so out of breath by the time I had everything in my cart. I didn't go back for a while after that, and I have been too nervous to do a big shop there ever since. I know part of it is my social anxiety, but the service/experience is just too unpredictable for me to feel comfortable bringing my 1 year old in. I love supporting them, a local co-op though, so whenever I can I will pop in solo to grab a few essentials and refill my spice jars. Also, the refillable powdered laundry soap works great with cloth diapers!

This is a great option for high quality produce and food. In my experience the produce is higher quality than Whole Foods where I shopped for years. It's similar to farmer's market quality. The prices are fair too. They have a parking lot across from the entrance. They also have a juice/smoothie bar with some baked treats. I love the whoopie pies lol. It's a smaller store so they don't have the options of bigger name stores. They don't have much (any?) "fresh" seafood, i.e. it's all frozen. I go to Carnivore or Whole Foods for that. They sell humanely-raised meats. They also have a deli section with pre-made meals and snacks, like sandwiches and potato salad etc. I will be a regular customer now.

The manager of this store a young Caucasian woman was very rude and came off as racist. She had a major attitude and wasn’t friendly at all. It was very obvious she didn’t want to service me and was annoyed I was there to buy a drink. If you are of a darker hue be careful shopping here.

I love coming here to pick up bulk spices and all of the unique items that not many other stores have. It’s worth the drive from Chicago and to support grocery stores that aren’t huge chains.

I love this place. Just relocated to the area and found this spot after a few weeks going to local chains. I'm not vegan but my partner is and Sugar Beet has us both well covered. If you care about what you're putting on your plate and shopping sustainably, this place is for you.

Great healthy & natural grocery with moderate price tag. It is quite small, so it is good for fast shopping.

The Sugar Beet Food Co-op is a delightful place. Everytime I go I notice new interesting products and special touches. I love that they have fresh grab and go snack and meal options. They also have a wonderful juice bar and other freshly made food options. Lots of interesting products I have never seen before. Always fun to eat and try new food! They have a very nice spice section, aromatherapy, face and body products, vitamins, supplements and a lot more! The prices are good. They have alot of locally grown produce and meats. I think it's cool how they try and be eco-freindly as possible. They even have re-usable bags for your groceries you can borrow and bring back the next time. The staff seems overall very commited to the mission of the co op. When I asked more about the place they said that it is open to everyone to shop and there are individuals in the community that invested in the business to get it up and running. I would definitely recommend checking out Sugar Beet..even if your not super healthy enthusiast- I think you would still find it a yummy and fun experience!
