One of the last remaining small heath food stores. I was happy to see items were fresher with dates

Yum-extreme! Great prices. Sweet people. My favorite spot in town.

Workers very helpful and knowledgeable. Was our first time there and could not be happier! Thanks so much for being so friendly and making our first experience a memorable one!

Great selection of staples as well as specialty foods. Got all the things I needed to celebrate Beltane for some specialized baking!

Highly recommend the George Street Co-op (its on drift street in between Livingston Ave and George Street). Great organic food and good prices. Great and friendly staff. Wish I had found out about the co-op sooner!

Ive been using this place, on and off, for 27 years, since I moved into the Somerset/Middlesex Counties area, of central New Jersey, back in the summer of 1993. The co-op is the original place in this area where you can find organic produce and bulk items for things like tamari roasted almonds or quinoa grains. It is a vegetarian co-op, and since I was a vegan from 1992 to 2006 (and now am one, again), this place has catered well to my needs, over the years. This was the first place that I ever found any nut butters that were not made from peanuts, such as: almond butter, cashew butter, and sesame butter (also known as, tahina, in Arabic). It also has had, and continues to have, an excellent selection of sprouted-grain breads, in the freezer. Over the years Ive gotten so many things here that many other places didnt have, originally. And although some places have copied some of their product line, since, they still continue to be in the forefront of what is good, healthy, natural, and sometimes old-fashioned and traditional goodness, reminiscent of my true American pioneer ancestors. Yeah, you can go to Wegmans or Whole Foods or Trader Joes or even the Shoprite health food section, but you wont find what you can find here, in the George Street Co-op--ever! Long live the Co-op!

A supportive environment that hosts many community events.

My favorite shopping spot. They carry local dairy and eggs, naturally fermented foods and an amazing selection of snacks. The co-op has a large bulk goods section - grains, beans and herbs - which you can purchase in paper baggies or bring your own jars. Good food and less packaging.... love it.

Love this place! Its got a great supply of vegetarian and vegan foods, a killer snack section, wide selection of bulk goods, and lots of fun events after hours. I love popping in during my lunch break or on the weekend to snag a few items. Volunteers are super friendly too. Im so glad I found this place. Id love to see a wider selection of cosmetic and hygiene supplies that are vegan, zero waste, etc!

I’m used to seeing bulk food, especially with nuts, popcorn, and flour, BUT I was absolutely ecstatic to find that they have sugar and brown sugar in bulk! I still have enough sugar at the moment, but I’m definitely getting my sugar from here as soon as I run out!

I read the review that Harmony left. That got me through the door. Then, I met Julia inside. She talked me into having lunch. We had a lovely chat about our cats. I got some coffee, the most amazing lentil and chickpea soup ever and a Moshes eggless sandwich, some lavender oil and pine tar soap.

Nice little store - friendly staff and has a cafe on the second floor

I love shopping at and being a volunteer cashier at the George Street Coop! Everyone here is so nice and has great energy. The manager, John, is an amazing human being to work with and is extremely dedicated to the Coop and its volunteers and members. You learn incredible skills that you can use at any job or volunteer opportunity that relates to cashiering, working with others and supporting a cooperative, community/member based organization. You will also learn more than just how to ring up items, enter UPC codes and answer questions by customers. There are opportunities to read articles on The 7 Cooperative Principles and The Kindest Approaches to Disagreement, while you work through a stuff to-do list on every shift. If you are looking for a meaningful, fun, educational and memorable experience as a volunteer, this is the place. Plus you are helping support a community that relies on the healthy, organic, delicious, vegetarian and vegan foods that the George Street Coop and Café provide.

This place is a gem. One of the last bastions of hippie counterculture left in New Brunswick. Really good soups. Amazing local honey. Lots of organic produce. Outstanding coffee. Nice people and good vibes all around.

Hidden gem in New Brunswick. The market has a lot of stuff for such a small place, including great fresh produce. The real stars though are the house made hot soups. More prepared food options available upstairs.

Ive been a customer and volunteer here since the summer of 2013. The amount of care and camaraderie that is available to anyone who frequents the George St. Co-op is a refreshing change compared to the buy-and-go atmosphere of major supermarkets that has now become the norm.Come to the co-op, start a conversation with any of the volunteers there (or the manager, John), and see how you can become a part of a local cause that genuinely supports the people that support it. You wont be disappointed!

I love the co-op. Not only is it an amazing little hub of natural organic produce in the middle of the rougher part of New Brunswick, but its most amazing quality is its energy. The energy here is amazing. Sometimes Im having a crap day and visiting the co-op literally lifts my spirits. its the small-business personal feel larger stores like whole foods lack, which, in my opinion, makes the slightly higher prices (depending on what you buy) worth it. To be honest, the prices are reasonable and what you would expect to pay anywhere...this is organic stuff, after all. Become a member!!!! I totally believe in and support this organization.Also, the produce is sort of a gamble but just know they get everything on Wednesday and Friday ; try to come around those times and they should be fully stalked with interesting stuff!!!!!!

Excellent fresh lentil soup. Easy on the budget. Lots of other healthy food and household products.

Love the co-op. Friendly staff, cool atmosphere, great prices on local organic produce and a nice selection of specialty items that can only be found off the beaten path. Ive been shopping there for a few years and enjoy supporting an organization with a vested interest in the communitys health.

This non-profit co-op always has a wonderful selection of organic fruits and vegetables. (Also locally grown, when available.) The produce, at least, is very reasonably priced compared to other stores that sell organic produce. Bulk foods including herbs, nuts, nut butters, grains, cleaning products are also a bargain. And theres a wonderful little vegan juice bar, separately managed, upstairs.

I’ve been a volunteer for a few months and I’m very happy with the flexibility in hours as well as the discount volunteers receive when purchasing food and groceries.The manager is extremely helpful and knowledgeable in the store merchandise. The café food is pretty awesome, also!

I would love to give George Street Co-op a higher score. I am a huge fan of food co-ops. I shopped at co-ops in Olympia, WA, and Portland, OR. I am currently a member of the Park Slope Food Co-op in Brooklyn. So, obviously, I really want to see co-ops succeed. I hope this one does. I am sure it is hard for a co-op to succeed. I excitedly visited the co-op when I was visiting Rutgers. Sadly, there isnt a lot here. There is very limited produce and only a handful of aisles. I hope they are able to build their business and eventually expand. I will definitely do my best to support the co-op so that it can thrive. It does have a way to go, unfortunately.

A long-living cooperative for organic food. Upstairs there is a Café with limited opening hours, although it is possible to sit down and eat your purchase outside of Café opening hours. Moderate prices, good feeling in the place.

Support your local co-op, great place to shop for healthy options. Fair prices

The store is a little funky, sure. But it offers foods that are not available for miles and miles. I think its worth the extra cost for food that is difficult to get elsewhere, especially for vegetarians and vegans. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly -- and willing to order foods they dont sell. A great place to stock up on varieties of tofu, Vegenaise, and seitan. The store has a wide selection of vegan sandwiches as well as various fillings for making your own sandwiches, salads, etc. There is a nice veggie and fruit area, as well as plenty of grains, nuts, and dried fruits. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Plenty of health aids too.

Great selection of all vegan foods. And a very cozy and comfortable place to hangout and study.

Love, love this store, good variety of selection and the service always been friendly, helpful advise for years now.

Limited selection of products. Some staff nice enough, others seem as if they’re waiting for you to leave. Will not be back.

John is helpful and great at looking up information.

The store was well stocked, clean, and the young lady was helpful.😁

My First visit today, friendly And well knowledgeable staff, Best Grilled veg & Quineoa burrito, I stack up on my my dry goodies, best lento soup I ever had.Can’t wait to be come back👍

The staff is friendly and they said they would fit their store by next month which would be May 2017. Looking forward to buy many more vegan edibles. Also good for

Getting fresh produce is aalways a gamble. I dont know how often they get new shipments because Ive pretty much every day of the week either at day or a night and Some times you get nice fresh sturdy produce, sometimes you get produce that is about to rot.

Great little store, perfect for all the organic food that runs out before you need enough to warrant a full shopping trip

Its a food co-op so Im a bit partial. Good selection, helpful and friendly staff. Amazing coffee.

The owner is unsociable. Their groceries used to be fresh. Lots of alternatives now. No reason to go there

I wish this place would gain some more popularity among the locals.... Not just the weirdoes

Wonderful market and the cafe upstairs is marvelous! I will definitely be coming back, and I recommend the Falafel wrap.

Vegan, serves food and veggie juices, organic, friendly, game night every Wednesday, open mic nights, cafe, comfortable setting, and Wi-Fi

I was a volunteer here for years around the new millennium and I loved pretty much everything. It does not look like they have very much because most people are members who special order things and shop directly from the walk in cooler upstairs. At that time, this was the only place to get organic produce of all kinds like kale and Swiss chard. I wonder if they still have spinach pies? Those were great fresh every day. They used to have Reiki upstairs one day a week. I really would love if someone could help me get in touch with Adeline to do another Reiki healing session thing. If so message me on google or facebook or email me or something. Thanks.

Always fun c ok mendy shows

Call ahead to make sure they have what you want!

This place is just the best!! Fresh organic produce and killer cafe upstairs.

Great, friendly food store and cafe with lots of rare treats.

Nice staff.Need more support for product inventory.

A comfortable spot with fantastic hummus and falafel.

This is my go-to place for Beyond Burgers and other vegan food items I normally can’t get at regular grocery stores.

The people, food, atmosphere, everything else here too is wonderful.

Nice place, friendly people, great open mic.

Really good food best vegan food in town

Delicious food and smoothies 😍

I park on the street in front of the building, buy food, then drive away.

Wonderful Natural Food grocery store!

Good food, plentiful options.

I went in there once or twice and was pretty disappointed. I lived right near it but the selection and prices led me to search farther afield for my natural food needs.
