Really cute store. I enjoyed my visit! I got a few items that are hard to find otherwise and was grateful to see available. I wish the prepared foods section had some homemade soup choices. The fresh fruits that were available looked poor quality unfortunately, maybe I hit it on an off day but it was my main reason to go and didn’t get any. I would go back though! Good options available for health conscious people. Clean, welcoming atmosphere.

Found most of the items required for the Christmas cake/pudding recepie used in Sri Lanka!..... Staff very friendly and went out of the way to locate items for me. Unfortunately some items were out of stock when I visited......

The Willimantic Food Cooperative is an amazing place! About people and community, not corporations. Committed to supporting local farmers and businesses and providing food and products that are ethically produced (ex. don't destroy the rainforest or use slave labor.)

We love this store. My mom and I will make the drive from Middletown or Glastonbury, no questions asked. The selection is great, the produce is fresh and made ahead foods are diverse. There are plenty of brands to choose from, but there are less expensive options too. There is a discount rack that offers some great deals. Grains, nuts, oat and more are sold in their bins. You can also find bulk spices, coffee and tea. While you won't find the big brands that you find in a basic grocery store, you'll find great options at this amazing store!

The produce here looks amazing and arranged with actual care for the products. Nothing looks beat up, including beet greens. Lots of local products, a variety of craft cheeses and I could even get raw milk and unadulterated cream (no gums, carageenan, preservatives, etc.) I immediately signed up as a co-op member, which was very fairly priced and came with some goodies and swag. Staff seemed to be enjoying their workday, and they spent plenty of time with me talking about the store and the community. Clean, organized, and friendly store.

Wonderful little grocery store. I appreciate their clear commitment to sustainability, due to the many eco-friendly products and recycling options. The higher deposit cost for bottles and other items was especially nice to see, as it will encourage more people to bring the bottles back.

Crazy I grew up in Willi and remember coming here as a kid. Just went back and found they have some great plant based options here! And you can buy so many different grains, nuts, oils in bulk which is awesome! Definitely will be back!

I wish I lived closer to this co-op. They offer a wide variety of products and I can usually find what I need. I love that they allow members to volunteer and receive a discount on their purchases. I also like supporting small local businesses by buying their products through the co-op. The staff members are always helpful and available when you have a question.

Store is clean and well stocked. Staff are friendly, helpful and very approachable. My children love shopping here as they have grocery carts their size. Purchasing dry goods here is economical and really illustrates how less waste (with packaging) can be easy. The Willimantic Food Co-op is a treasure to the community and a pleasure to shop at.

Competitive prices, fresh foods, teas, variety of healthy snacks, good soap variety, and sometimes otherwise very hard to find oils. Did I say Good Soap variety. If they don't have it, ask if they are able to order it. Also, become a co-op member, they have a newsletter and you get a vote on What is carried/sold.
