  • I've enjoyed other Yelp reviews about this place, and agree with them all so far. Anyone can shop there, though membership is encouraged. It's free for one month, to join and shop at the listed price. Thereafter, there is a 15% surcharge for non-members to keep shopping there. To join, it's initially $50, plus you would have to volunteer for 2 hours each month. You can volunteer at the store, the hours are flexible, or do other jobs that count towards your monthly quota of 2 hours. There are other options available if you'd rather not work there each month. My take on Karma Co-op, is that it's charged with mainly the energy of politically-aware 20-35 year olds. There is a strong community feel to the place, and I can feel good knowing that anything I buy supports this members-run, members-owned store, which is modestly for profit (enough to sustain them). As well, there are so into being eco-responsible. They research which products they offer, and each company is ethically, environmentally-responsible. I am thinking of joining, to be a part of the vibe. The atmosphere is a good one, non-judgemental, easy-to-work-with-you. Produce is fresh, though prices can be slightly higher since they come, I think, more directly from farmers, other small businesses. I went there with my stroller today, and regret not asking for more help in getting in and out of the store. It was tough to maneuver in and out; there is a slope there and I had long stroller with me. One-child strollers, would probably do just fine. There was a spot outside to keep our small dog, and even a bowl of water. I am thinking of joining, but I wish people didn't have to pay $50 to join initially. Volunteering monthly is a cool idea to me, giving me the chance to step out of my everyday norm. There are clubs, like Costco, where people pay $50-$120 to join on an annual basis. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around having to pay in order to shop somewhere, or to save money. I'm also wondering if the average person would feel as passionate about shopping here, as the months pass. I don't have much extra pocket money, and wonder if I'd have second thoughts about having paid to shop in a place.
