It's my favorite grocery store to shop for bulk products and peruse for specialty items (salts, spices/spice blends, flours, vinegars, oils, beans, coffee, nut butters and bath products galore!) This and Berkeley Bowl are my top 2 favorite grocery stores in the Bay! I love being able to reuse jars and spice containers to cut down on waste. The prices for bulk items aren't necessarily cheaper than buying in a normal store, but it's a great deal for bulk cocoa and soap refill. The spice blends are a fun way to experiment with your cooking and you can just buy a small quantity. We still need to shop at other stores for "standard" items and meat since it's meat-free. Also the staff have always been super helpful in finding items and their customer service desk.

Their teas are fantastic. The stuff in jars are where it's at! Even some harder to find herbs, spices, teas are there. Everything else is a hint more expensive but that's okay. I enjoy the selection for their specialty organic items. I have brands I enjoy at Whole Foods and they carry them but x2 more selection. This place is a bit far for me but I'd definitely be in more if I lived closer. I'll continue to stop by anytime I am nearby.

This store is amazing, every specialty item you could possibly need (except meat) but truly is a great store. They have really dedicated team members who are always diligently working to better the store because is a a cooperative. Great place, parking can be rough but at least they have a good system figured out.

Looking for beautiful, fresh produce to elevate your home cooked meal with? You've found it! Right below the freeway is Rainbow Grocery with its own parking structure so you can shop with ease. While prices are a bit high, I've never been to a grocery store where workers are so vibrant and friendly. This grocery store feels like its own little community that is FOR the community. Check out their cheese selection too! If you're lucky like me and go when it's not so busy, the cheese expert who works in the cheese department will let you try any cheese you want! (And they really know their cheeses.) Super fun and welcoming grocery store and my new go to for produce.

Rainbow Grocery is a good market to shop for non-GMO, organic, and locally sourced foods. We like to buy their bulk items like spices, beans, etc. Somebody recommended some lotion, and we also buy it here.

This is a review of the goods and staff; there's way too much stuff to do pricing/value. There is def plenty of expensive stuff but also some cheapish tasty options comparable to Trader Joe's prices In general I'd say come here even if you just want to check it out. There are infinity random snacks to try and individually they're not too exp Multiple walls of trail mix ingredients, powders, snack, stored in tubes with a release mechanism that uses gravity to dispense - no dirty hands grabbing through the supply Staff is friendly and everyone has a couple snacks to recommend. There are like 6 or 7 different kimchis, etc I spent half an hour exploring maybe 1/8 of the store Big fan and def coming back
