Overall a really great, clean and welcoming store. I especially love the staff in the wellness supplement section, because they are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The cashiers are very talkative and warm. The store has great specialty items for those into healthy food. The minus 1 star is just because the prices are very high, and sometimes bordering on outrageous when it comes to produce. And it isnt always at a quality that warrants that. They do try to stock local and organic and thats nice

I recently had a sandwich from their deli and it was absolutely delicious! Made right on the spot while I shopped around. I love having this grocery store in my neighborhood. Staff have always been very pleasant. Also it helps to be a member to get the best prices and deals! Only $15 a year.

Great place for local goods and super-nice people to help you. Lots of hard-to-find items and brands as well. Try the made-to-order sandwiches in the back - best deal in Santa Fe I think. My only two criticisms are that this place is EXPENSIVE - like $300 for two bags of groceries being the norm- with the other being their seafood counter. Youd think it would be a heaping pile of fresh Colorado trout, but its not. Its an assortment of creepy fish thats far from appealing to the eye. But their meat is top notch so just get your fish at whole foods instead. Overall, a fantastic place to shop if youre not on a budget.

Good price and great range. Compared with other grocery stores their baked goods are on a higher level. They are essentially and exponentially better and local version of Whole Foods is more ethical.

“NO BATHROOMS AVAILABLE for Customers ONLY for employees” The store manager said. My reaction exactly, “Then the store should be closed if they think that customers do not deserve access to this basic service because customers are the ones bringing in the business lady” 😠

Discriminatory behavior from staff - I was issued a temporary handicap placard by the State of NM following knee reconstruction surgery. It was imperative to utilize the accessible parking spaces as I could not bend my knee or bear total weight. Immediately after getting down from my vehicle, I was approached by two staff members and was asked if I was sure I could park at the handicap space, despite the temporary placard. I was clearly impaired with a full leg brace and crutches when they approached. I pointed to my handicap credential, but the members continued to agitate the situation, You know, we do have a lot of elderly people coming in and out of the store. Another staff member came behind my vehicle to further escalate the situation. This is clear violation of the ADA. Additionally, the store manager never followed up with me.

Pricey, but perhaps thats expected for the area and specialty.Encountered an employee last visit who full-on, aggressively admonished me for an honest mistake (didnt see a sign posted). It was bizarre and unprofessional. I see what other reviews mean about the bad attitudes! Cashier seemed short as well, wont be back.

Good variety & selection of foods. Seems significantly more expensive than most stores. Hard to find individual prices of items. Often the prices are not on the individual items but on the shelf near, next to, above or below. Which would be ok however things get moved around so youre not sure what things are what prices. Overall, good selection of healthy and organic food products including assortment of non-dairy, vegan, & plant-based foods.

The staff in the supplements aisle are SO incredible, knowledgeable, generous with their time and energy, and just simply lovely. thank you. don’t be shy, ask questions! open yourself to learn from the divine fountain of knowledge hidden in this gem!

Very rude cashier named Jasmin. She had absolutely no manners or good customer service skills.Very disappointed. Co-op always has friendly people working as cashiers but not today.

Has gone downhill. Frustrated employees, out of products often, the deli sandwiches are so small with the least amount of ingredients I’ve had on a sandwich, ever - just don’t. Great selection of olives

I love the friendly staff and fresh food and vegan hot food here. The only consistent disappointment at all locations are the very dry combo g/f vegan baked goods. Ive tried several times - good for dunking? Coconut yogurt in the mix might help? Please be well everyone.

Great location, nice selection of produce. We love that its not overwhelmingly huge and still has plenty to offer.

Great grocery store. Clean, organized, great selection of goods, the deli was awesome, delicious sandwiches.

Well, it isnt the cheapest place, but thats not what its about is it. How about - fantastic produce, great selection of healthy food, fun to shop, and caring attentive staff! Like an old-fashioned Hippie Coop but well-run and efficient. I approve!

Love it ! Where they can, locally sourced fruit and veg.

I used to love coming here to shop. Tried to support a local business. Unfortunately it seems a lot has changed with staffing. Things are not stocked the way they used to be and if you ask for assistance they seem completely dejected. Theyll stand there and watch you pack your own groceries while they do other things. Hasnt been the best experience in the last few trips. Extremely disappointed at what management would consider customer service. I will no longer be spending my $$ there.... Ever.Back to WHOLE FOODS! And I will never recommending this Co-op for anything.

Our great local organic market.

Honestly better then natural grocers pricey but they accept foodstamps so its worth it

Great selection of local produce and bulk foods.

Love this place and so glad its there. Such a needed option in Santa Fe. That said, their prices can be ridiculous sometimes. Def not an ideal place to get all your groceries because of that.

It was a strange experience... One of the managers was very abrupt and not easy to talk to... I am in no hurry to go back.

I am a member there to support the local community they have very good products sometimes a little pricey but its worth it.. the best bagels in Santa Fe are Ruthies

A good co-op with good deals on healthy food.

We like to shop here because we know its real organic and mostly locally sourced. We buy fresh milk and its the only place that sells it in Sf. On the negetive, their staff has not been taught how to handle produce and its often brused. Their prices for some items are reduculously high. Tazo tea is $2.59 a bottle whike Natural Grocer sells it fir $1.65. So we dont buy every thing there just about 20% of our needs.

Awesome place, best products going, a bit pricey for some items, nut worth it to support non corporate

Walked in, picked up a bunch of scallions, looked up and saw a lady with her mask pulled down putting Brussels sprouts up to her nose and throwing them back into the bin. Multiple times. If this is who shops there I want no part of it.

I am a grocery store lover, and I absolutely loved this co-op! Sure the produce is a little more expensive than the nearby Sprouts, but the variety is much better here. I also liked their selection of local products and prepared foods.

La Montañita is a great food co-op. They carry a wide range of local and organic food. The staff is helpful and friendly. The store is well organized and operated. They give back to the community. One of the first things I did upon moving back to Santa Fe was renew my membership here. Its a great place to belong!

I always love going to the coop. Their produce is exceptionally good and fresh, and they have for a small store quite a great selection of things. They are expensive, but you get good quality. I love supporting a small business in these difficult times.

Can be expensive, but they do have great options of organic goods, quality items. Friendly people w great attitudes!

Good quality, great sales. A go to for a quick meal or general shopping.

Customers are so rude there but thats why the staff is so helpful I guess!My cashier Robby was so helpful respectful and funny! Also the food in the deli is always healthy n really good!

Ooooh god forbid you might have to pack your own groceries. Perfectly good co-op with perfectly good customer service.

The people that work here can be so rude! I really like supporting local farmers and businesses, but unfortunately I have experienced bad attitudes on way too many occasions. Never had an issue at Wholefoods. Sorry, even thought I’m a member, I will be taking my business over there. It’s worth a friendly smile.

Excellent place to shop and provide self care

No one asked if I needed help, the cashier was extremely short with me.. and come to find out my on journey back to tres Piedras I was sold kombucha with an expiration date of 9-16-19 didnt think I would have had to check that kinda thing in a store like this .....

I had recommended it to make a special trip from Madrid to my mother for some of the superior Three Sisters Ranch beef at La Montanita Co-op Food Market. She was verbally abused by the young butcher when she asked for fresh ground beef. The most disgusting part of this disturbing event was management chose to ignore and disregard this ugliness. As a son, I felt as though I let my mother down by recommending this place to shop. If you care and love your family members I would highly advise you steer clear from La Montanita at all costs because they condone employees complete and utter misconduct/disrespect towards senior citizensThey choose to ignore this disgusting event and never followed up with a investigation or a phone call. This is not a store that the community should support nor is it something that the people of Santa Fe need. Be warned!

Great grocery store, good selection, covid limits, cleaning carts and baskets..

Great business and great selection. Their baked goods are on another level compared to other grocery stores. They’re basically and infinitely better and more ethical local version of Whole Foods.

Very inconsistent service and quality at deli (sandwiches specifically). I never know what I’m going to get. Staff seem poorly trained (or company does not have standardized quality and portion control?). Last experience (and not my first unpleasant experience) I got a toasted bagel with cream cheese and veggies to go. When I opened my sandwich at home, my bagel was burnt. Interestingly, the blackened side down to hide hide the error? I don’t have an issue with a mistake being made but I do have an issue with the poor customer service. The staff could have alerted me and offered to make a new toasted bagel. Instead they wrapped it up and pretended like it didn’t happen. Honestly, this is the basics, this is common sense. I give you a 2 because sometimes it is good but again it’s a gamble. So if you like to take a risk, I guess this is the place for you.

Very limited selection of items, but easy to find. Local produce is great. Some local ice cream can be found. Community owned and convenient compared to Whole Paycheck Market.

Zoey in the deli is top notch!

Great staff and always clean. They’ve done well with their approach to the pandemic from what I’ve seen.

Social distancing here is non-existent. The store is so crowded an employee stops, takes a look at the crowded aisle ahead of him, and utters OMG. The environment is unsupervised and the management criminally negligent. I am a member here, or at least my wife is and we utterly condemn their sorry efforts. This place should come to the attention of the authorities. They need to radically change or close. Management’s reply to this review states conditions as they should be, not as they are. There is crowding and it is flat out dangerous.

Wonderful place! Operates like a wholesale Club in that if youre a member you get discounts. But you dont have to be a member to shop and buy. Most of the produce, meats, other food stuffs are locally sourced and organic. Lots of variety.

Love this store and how they have small packages for single people....

Its clear the employees are not happy working there.

Absolutely fabulous place. A little on the pricey side, but worth it for the quality.

My go to place to get the best produce and high quality local meats. It’s like shopping at a farmers market. You save so much for being a member, only $15/yr and you get to save 20% two times a year, on top of another 15% in June for taking the annual survey. I love the savings and the community involvement! Over 100 local staff members in this store alone!

Clean facility, careful staff, masked shoppers. Safe and has the best produce and meat in town.

Friendly helpful staff, clean environment. Highly recommend!

Nagisa Suzuki,Your welcome and thank you... for your response to my review from August: I am happy to give feedback in this instance, I pray the formula is enhanced for better taste. I look forward to trying it again.August 2020 review:Great place to find a few items cant find elsewhere. Doing laundry across the parking lot and got myself a drink unsweetened a must.A fan of chai. I found Mata Gs chai frappe. Great concept for folks like me who cant have refined sugar.Horrible drink taste so week it tase of water with a light hint of cardamom. For the price at $4.99 this company may want to revisit the formula

A little pricey, but they have a lot of things you cant find at a regular grocery store. Theyre not a place that I can do my entire grocery order, but a good place for odds and ends.

I have been shopping at this store for 4 years. I only shop for bones for dog. I walked with my service dog. I was harassed by Mona. I talked with human service and manager. They never call me or never returned phone. Being brown skin with service dog is not allowed. Hope you will treat better next time.

Friendly, locally owned, organic foods, desserts, coffees and meat market for your culinary needs. Essential oils, candles and other products available. Take out food an option.

Great selection. Friendly competent staff. Of course pricy, but non-trash groceries just have a price

Great organic produce with a large variety of options. Great deli, meat, dairy, supplements, teas, coffee and even general merchandise. People who care for employees. There is a food counter. Wonderful alternative grocery store. Lots of natural and organic products.

Been members forever. Great food coop.

Throw back to our old early health food stores of the 60s and 70s. All the non conventional products and brands youd want. All organic produce department that is mostly local or regionally local.

Love this place...Great sandwiches. Check it out. Staff is AMAZING!

Sooooo expensive

Semi busy, everyone wearing face masks. Expensive but pretty good quality.

They have everything I need and plenty of parking which is a plus.

My favorite storefront co-op; we are members. Best produce available, anywhere. Friendly and helpful staff. A great store!

Great place for bulk foods!

Local Grass fed beef is Way Better than Albertsons who knows where it came from. The quality is WAY better too! Great nice knowledgeable staff, lots of local products. The produce is outstanding, the deli has great offerings including make your own burrito in the am, a hot bar, mostly organic salad bar, and BIG sandwiches. The juices and smoothies are 100% organic, and the coffee is fair trade, organic, and from a local roaster. They participate in the Monterrey Bay Seafood Watch program, so all their seafood is on the green list (meaning not endangered). The best chocolate set in the Southwest, and lots of gluten free offering baked fresh in the deli. This is MY STORE! I am an owner of the coop!

Wonderful produce (a little pricey), low volume of people

Worst customer service and unpleasant vibe . Always feel less than and unwelcome. Came in to get food and a drink. Put stuff back and left pretty sad. People do not say excuse me who work there or even offer assistance, seem like I’m just a bother in the way so I will not shop here. I am kind to a lot of shoppers and help people buy stuff anywhere I go.Albuquerque stores have more smiles and kindness sorry

A local go to for a good cup of coffee first thing in the morning an & an excellent breakfast burrito made to order. My favorite non commercial Shopping Center here

Awesome Store Awesome staff the very best Store

I like the Co-op because it carries a lot of locally-grown fresh veggies, which means you can find varieties of vegetables not available in any other grocery store: the heirloom varieties are great! The store in Santa Fe needs to work on their prepared foods (soups, hot bar) recipes and variety, though. They used to have some exceptional soups and main dishes, but more and more theyre serving curries and curry left-overs. Theyve fallen into a rut.Overall, service is excellent.

Easy in, easy out, helpful staff, friendly staff!!! Awesome

Its got the best selection of healthy food but the prices make Whole Foods look like Dollar General.

The front end staff here are AMAZING! Theyre hard working and always in great moods. :) Every time I come in, I feel welcome and like my needs will be taken seriously if I cant seem to help myself.

The WORST of the employees work at the hot bar and deli. It’s been that way for yrs, and I don’t think management knows about it. Too expensive, anyway. Don’t waste your money there, just go to Wholefoods or Sprouts.

Expensive but nice and good product selection from local vendors

I have gone to La Montanita in Santa Fe more then several times and every time I go I think I am not going back again. The staff are rude, they talk to each other and ignore the customers.I purchase a lot of supplements & I have gone back because they carry a brand I like. I was not able to find something in the supplement section - the ladies that work in this area were talking to each other and just ignored me - even when they saw I needed help. The last time I asked for help and was again ignored as they were having a conversation with each other - when I asked a second time they looked totally annoyed that I interrupted them. I did not purchase anything and left the store.There is a lot of competition in Santa Fe - Sprouts, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Natural Grocers, Pharamaca. So Bye - Bye La Montanita - your way overpriced anyway and there is a bad vibe in your store.

Some good produce, but a lot of the items are really overpriced. Seems inconsistent, some items are at market value or somewhat cheap, but overall pricey for what it is.Weird vibe, like a lot of the health food stores in Santa Fe. Feels like a Portlandia sketch in real life. The cashier was friendly enough but the rest of the staff seemed annoyed to have to help a customer find something.I’ll stick with Albertson’s, Smith’s, etc. They offer the same thing essentially, without the new age nonsense and the Californian-influenced smug culture.

Love that they have odd animal parts like chicken hearts (natures pill pockets for dogs), cow tongue, etc. Also, best price and variety of the large bottles of GTs kombucha in Santa Fe

This is my favorite grocery store in Santa Fe. Easy parking, friendly and helpful staff, great produce, excellent community involvement and local products.

Great food, awesome coffee, the nicest staff you will ever find in Santa Fe.

Local food abundance! Awesome.

I love being able to buy affordable organic items at La Montanita, and can choose from safe conventional options as well. Staff is always helpful, knowledgeable and upbeat. I used to have to stop buying organic when my income decreased; or, I would only buy a few organics and then buy the rest at a conventional grocery store. Now I can do most of my grocery shopping in one place. And Im supporting a trustworthy, life-affirming, inclusive, and successful LOCAL organization.

One of the best co-ops Ive ever been in. They have great selection and an excellent made-to-order food/smoothie bar! Great customer service too.

My wife loves cheese, so when I traveled to Santa Fe, I bought her some local goat cheese and flew it back to the East Coast.Only to notice at home that the two bought local goat cheeses had both expired 2 weeks prior to purchase!

This place rocks I could spend hours just looking at all their products great staff and atmosphere love it here

Best organic produce. good meat dept too lots of snacks you dont find elswhere. Bulk grains, nuts, teas...lots more

Their Ginger snaps are really good and they have a lot of vegan options. Gae

Great selection, good reasonable prepared food.

To het good pricing, you must have a membership card. Costs nothing. Literally farm fresh foods, very good selection of organics stufts. Easily located on the Solana Center on West Alameda. Friendly people; clientel are youngish to hip middle age/ older folk. Unlike the entitled attitude you getfrom much of the clientel at Whole Foods or Trader Joes, this clientel is by far, less upright and flexible. Youre in and out with ease.

Great grocery store. so happy they stock grapenuts. 😎

Best place to shop in Santa Fe for anything that feeds your body, soul and mental state!

Local owned, locally sourced when they can. Nice staff.

Quite frankly the worst prepared food/hot bar I have ever had at a natural grocery. Absurdly expensive if you dont want any of the meat offerings (which theres always too many), for the most part the food is tasteless and cold. I believe pizza for lunch should be, ya know, ready at lunch time. Seriously always disappointed and a waste of money.

The co-op is my favorite grocery shopping experience, mostly because of the friendly and helpful staff. I feel at home there.

Walked over from the Quicklane nearby to grab some snacks. A lot of good options. The people working there were nice. Theres a space outside with tables to sit and read a book. There were some snobby people shopping there but thats not the Co-ops fault snobs gotta shop too, I guess.

Contrary to some comments, the organics at this store are not affordable. This is the most expensive grocer in town, pricier than Whole Foods. They do have a better selection than most other stores, though, and their strength is in the variety of locally-grown veggies.

Great fresh produce and a huge variety of products for a small store. Better to shop here over whole foods!

Not a bad selection, gal at front help desk acts like Rosie Odonnell and things come flying out of her mouth. Did not want to return
