Our family shops here weekly, and it's pretty one-stop shopping for us with the exception of a few random staples. It's a family affair and most Saturday mornings the kids can sample their way through the store and take care of snack time at the same time. It's also a great place to grab a bite to eat. Willy street has opened my eyes to different ingredients that I never would have tried to cook with, especially in the produce and bulk bin departments. I appreciate the efforts to source as much as they can locally and it helps keep us on track with our goals to eat according to the seasons. I would imagine people hear organic and think expensive, but the co-op structure really is able to keep prices pretty reasonable in my opinion. The bulk aisles are excellent and the wellness products are also extensive.
There is an expansion going on right now which will make shopping a lot more pleasurable during the busy times as the aisles will be widened eventually. I agree that the appeal of the hot/cold bar items is hit or miss depending on when you stop by, and I find most things to be perpetually lacking in salt/seasoning, but it's largely pretty convenient and you don't feel bad about what you are quickly grabbing for lunch. I love that I never have to wait in line for long to check out. Everyone that works there is exceedingly friendly, and the impulse buy potential of all of those cute local tees and socks and kitchen gadgets is off the chart. So many things you never knew you needed! So glad this store is in my life.
