“Great selection of spices and (other baking essentials) in their bulk bins! We bought our turkey here for Thanksgiving. We were planning a meal for two. We were looking for a single turkey breast. They had the awesome Mary’s turkeys and a worker very nicely told us that we could indeed buy just a breast and advised us when to come in to get it. And that is how the Co-op saved Thanksgiving
for us.” –Becky W, Bellingham

“We love the Community Food Co-op! We have been shopping here for years. First at the downtown location, and then at Cordata when it opened. We love everything … the produce, seafood, meats, bakery, deli. The staff is great … we love the deli staff and the checkers. We live in Skagit County now, and we still drive up every other week to shop at Cordata location.” –Jeanne O, Anacortes

“The cashier Samuel—he is very friendly and welcoming. He always greets me with a smile and easily converses. Today I observed him being very friendly, sincere and welcoming to a woman who said it was her first time in the store. She was a little flustered learning how to use her card and helping her companion. Samuel was very patient and I know made her feel at ease.”
Response: Wow that’s great to hear! Thanks for taking the time to share, we think Samuel is pretty terrific also!

“Tim is the best wine guy in the city! I’m a professor, a connoisseur, and from a French family, so we know wine! Tim has excellent customer service, and he really knows his wine very well! I only shop for wine at Cordata now because Tim is so great! Thanks Tim!”
Response: That is wonderful. We all love him here too.
