Alberta Cooperative Grocery, Portland OR

Alberta Coop is the best! Surprisingly affordable, friendly staff, a wide range of products for such a small store. So glad I'm a member!

I usually love the co op, but the last few times I've been there I've gotten rotten produce. I've bought micro greens/spinach and other greens in bags and containers from here that looked fine without opening them, but I get home and my produce is rotten. The last couple of times they couldn't get me a receipt either, so I couldn't try to return it. I know it's fresher produce that may go bad faster, but I feel like it may just be better to go to a place that has fresh produce and that actually makes sure there isn't anything bad on the shelf. Disappointing.

Really great little neighborhood grocery coop. Wish I lived closer to it, but given how many goodies they have on offer it's probably a good thing.

A friend gifted me a membership here and I am so pleased. They are always friendly to me when I come around, and it really does feel like building community rather than just Doing Capitalism at each other.
This is one of the only places that I can get local berries and grapes without any plastic. The produce is always so bright and delicious.
