Lots of exotic grains, spices, tea and coffee. Beautiful facility with lovely outdoor seating so you can enjoy their hot and cold food bar outdoors. It also serves beer and has a coffee bar. Free wifi

Upscale, fancy grocery store. Qualities are very good, however few items are a bit pricy. The place looks so good and the environment is so nice that I love to stop by, even if I don’t need anything to buy. In house foods are too good. I loved their tortilla and hummus. They have live salad bar, coffee and a lot of bakery items. I just love their tea, chips, and chocolate section. The soaps and hand washes are very unique too. I would recommend to give the place a try. They have many interesting stuff.

What a wonderful experience! This store has a great selection of natural foods. It’s much like Whole Foods, but they have many things from local producers. Their outdoors seating are is cool! They’ve got porch swings where you can sit and sip there local craft beers while watching the traffic cruise by.

They have turned into a health food dictatorship. So disappointed. Went today only to see the mask and fine sign. They had better change their welcome sign as all are not welcome. It used to be a great place in the past. I will not shop in any store that has these mandates.

The Coop is amazing and I think Organic Food should be made accessible for everyone.

First visit just to see what this place is. Found Coconut Bliss frozen dessert I havent found anywhere else in Arkansas. And a fabulous loaf of Spelt Bread with directions on how to heat and enjoy it. Yummm. I will be back to actually shop and compare prices. Much closer to me than WF and NG. 😇

This isnt shopping for groceries, its a food buying experience. Take your time and have lunch as well. The patio with the rockers and porch swings is the perfect spot in good weather.

So disappointed this is not the first or even the fifth time I have gone for lunch meat or sliced cheese for them to not have it available. Today they tried to cut some for me which is really sweet to find out someone had not cleaned the cutter so now I am asked to come at two. Maybe they should cut more when they are cutting meat in the morning. The only suggestion they gave me was call ahead. I really love this store but they need to step up they deli section . I hope the manager reads this!!!!

Great selection, I can have a cup of coffee while eating lunch while my wife is plant shopping. Really need one of these in Bentonville. Really love the organic selections, coffee and teas.

If you enjoy good food, this is the place to go to stock your fridge. Prepared foods also available to enjoy on a gorgeous outdoor patio area, with a nice craft cider. Wish we had yall back at home in my neighborhood in South Carolina.

The COOP can be a local chill or contemplative space for 1hr, (parking is 1hr ; minimal power outlets inside for laptop work, some outside) with tasty To-Go foods and opportunities for contribution to local business, farms, and charities.Or it can be a place you go to because you havent found another with the item you like - for me, its the Dirty Apron sourdough loaf and To-Go chicken salad. My out of town parents always ask me to bring them the Dirty Apron sourdough loaves too.I often go as well when Im getting my car serviced in Fayetteville - out of town for me now - and have a wait.Location:The space is unique, with a touch of the first Whole Foods in Austin, TX. Inside and outside there are spaces for quietish meetups, working, breaks between work, or chill solo time - swings and hammock hookups included!To-go food and drink:Options are really tasty and priced as if you went to a chic cafe but didnt get served.Home and Garden:The Homestead area with plants and animal care products has incredibly helpful and thoughtful staff. They often share insights if you ask questions and try to be very informed.Customer Service:Supplements and Homestead sections excluded -there isnt a kind spirit of service or warmth generally. Its almost as if theres a snobbery and angst.The staff replacing produce often prioritize that over you having access for shopping, for example.You arent greeted anywhere and check out is still awkward, even though theyve gotten better at holding back resentment if you arent an owner.I always feel in the clear when Im an owner - like Whew! I dodged that bullet!Policies:I sense a strictness in policies thats maybe related to that cold customer service spirit - mask wearing, for example was required of the shoppers longer than at other food and retail establishments.Dogs:Ive only brought my pup in briefly (circumstantial), it wasnt a dog friendly space. *There is a water bowl outside, however*I was quickly approached by a woman who said sternly and brusquely that service animals are not allowed inside, except for at the Homestead.When I turned around to check out quickly, 10 ft from where I was before, a different woman, just as brusquely told me that service animals arent allowed in the COOP. It was like walking into a hornet nest.They each said it was the Arkansas State Law that they cant be around food. *Which I understand to be not true. Though, perhaps the COOP doesnt permit them generally.*It was an uncomfy encounter with mismatching legal details and seeming anger at my questioning about it.The difference would be that, I imagine, the employees at Natural Grocers would probably ask if my pup just laid down by one of them at the register or something helpful.In contrast, for years, the staff at Natural Grocers, a competitor, have nearly all been very warm, kind, and personable.

Its a smaller grocery store and the prices are on the high end. The salad bar was great, bakery items looked yummy. The staff are friendly. Outdoor dining area is nice. Memberships are only $10 a year. I will for sure go here for salads and bakery items.

Review №15

Wonderful locally owned grocery. I hadnt been since before the pandemic and the new location is great. Happy to find theyre still cooking all my favorite snacks in the new bakery and concession. Grocery seems s little smaller than the old location but the space is used well. The new gardening depot has plants you wont find anywhere else and local favorites too.

Review №16

This is now coop instead of Ozark naturals but it was our first visit and we talky liked it. The prices are on par with other health food stores. Some sales brought certain things down to better pricing. They Akari have a great pet and plant section in the front of the store. We really enjoyed that with many unique pet treats and herbal options.

10/10 would recommend if you have the budget to shop higher end grocery stores. Lots of great local food, fresh food and amazing fresh pizzas. They also have a bulk section which is really nice. Employees are super friendly, and they reliably have baskets, which is one of the most important things to me.

Review №18

The new location is fantastic. They have really made a great space, with lots of options in the bulk foods area especially. I appreciate that I can bring my own containers to use in the bulk section. Theyve also expanded their packaged food and homestead areas - its always an interesting adventure to see what new things I will find!

Review №19

I had my first visit since they changed location today. I have to say that I was a little disappointed. Its less like a grocery store now and more like a food stop for pre-prepared food. I was shocked at how tiny the produce section has become. Ill check back later. Maybe things will improve.

It is now coop. The quality is great, many, many healthy products. Coffee and snacks were great too. A great place to go if you are a vegan.

Best place to buy organic food. I specially like the wide variety of their bulk section where you have the option to buy just a few ounces at the same price rate of larger quantity.

Always a very good experience. Each clerk Ive encountered has been helpful, courteous, & willing to help. I asked for a certain shower gel not in store & received it within a weeks time.The store is always clean & orderly plus the salad bar & outside seating area with swings & chairs provides an extra added attraction!! We recently relocated to Arkansas & I amSo glad I found this natural food to shop at!!

Best place in town for hard-to-find kitchen ingredients and houseplants. The membership discounts / sales are great, particularly if youre looking for more pots and plants for your home.

It was a frustrating trip. I called to ask if they had organic candies and was told yes. When I arrived to look, all their candies had chemicals and natural flavors. So, I left with nothing after wasting my time to go there.

Review №28

I always try to give ONF a chance because I prefer shopping locally, but they always seem to not have the main things I need. I needed some dried chiles and all they had were these really small packages that were quite expensive. For the same price I got 2 lbs of the same kind of peppers at Harps. Also the employees here seem to be a bit snobby, but maybe Im just reading too much into things.I havent renewed my Owner membership in the last few years, and probably wont, going forward.

They have a wide variety and are convenient to the area. I am not a regular since getting to it from West Fayetteville is a bit of a pain but I always enjoy my trips and find something new to try.

Lots of natural foods and supplements. Found some Cacao, and thats what I was looking for. Also, picked up some Sushi, and it looks really good. We are definitely glad to see anybody can shop here, even though it is a Coop. Look forward to our next trip.

Not as easy to shop there as it used to be. There are very few disabled parking spots. It would be great if they made all the spots up front by the doors and carts disabled parking, for mobility and accessibility.

Review №45

This was my first time visiting their new location, as I do not live in Fayetteville ...nicely stocked, neat, however the employees did not seem all that helpful. In fact, I found it very interesting how the guy at the register asked me if I wanted to pass on the renewal of my membership, after we discovered that my membership had expired, as compared to the usual response of asking if the customer would like to renew.

Love the new location. Particularly their select your quantity flours, nuts, coffee, grains, spices, and other.

I left my groceries in the basket and had to back track to get my things. When I got back, they knew who I was and had my things ready for me. They even had put my frozen items back and went and retrieved them for me. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I appreciate having this resource available in my community.

Love this place!! A local food co-op with every possible benefit available to its members and community. Modern, wonderful service, excellent product selection, great coffee/wine/beer bar, tasty fresh eats and a gorgeous covered patio complete with furnishings, swings, and a hammock. What more could you ask for?

Review №59

We started shopping a bit ago and we got a membership and we absolutely love the selection of healthy organic foods and the customer service is wonderful! We both came in on electric carts today and the employees brought the electric carts to us and helped us put the groceries in the car! We are very thankful for that and look forward to coming back in the future.

Review №73

Ozark natural foods has always given me great customer service and has an amazing selection of diverse helpful items. But I wanted to write this review especially for a young man by the name of Trent who helped me with my supplements. I live on the Buffalo River and I had fallen the week before and came to a specialist in Fayrtteville. I called in advance to see if they had the supplements that were suggested for me and spoke with Trent and he confirmed they were in stock. When I arrived he recognized that I needed help. After helping me to a handicap cart he helped me with my supplements. Then he went far above his duty and helping me to my car and returning the car to the store. My injury was such that I’m not sure that I would’ve been able to carry my items into the car with me. So I wanted to give a big shout out to Ozark natural foods for being a great place and especially to Trent! Thank you for providing a wonderful caring atmosphere!

ONF is a beloved favorite among the organic and granola types in Fayetteville, but I think is (or at least was) overlooked by others. The new space has certainly helped them attract more customers, which is fortunate, because theyre a great establishment!ONF has a wonderful selection of produce, meat, dairy, snacks, grains - I mean, its a grocery store, you get the picture. But they also carry brands of certain goods that you otherwise wouldnt find anywhere else (think niche brands of chips/snacks and sparkling water, or whatever).The new space has done nothing but good for them as well, and is an awesome experience. They have delicious fresh, deli-style counters and pre-packaged options you can buy and take to-go, and they have a huge patio/outdoor seating area along College Avenue that, when I last visited Fayetteville, appears to be the new hot spot to hang out for students and citizens alike.

Ge
Review №75

Once upon a time, ONF (now The CO-OP) was great. Slowly over the years, and now more quickly, it has decided to be a happening cafe with some groceries on the side. Ill stay a member and try to patronize, but as the selection deteriorates, bulk items diminish, and direction goes elsewhere, its a matter of time before I give up.

Two words: yellow tomatoes.I have an extremely rare medical condition that puts harsh limits on what I can eat. Believe it or not, I cant have red, green, or purple tomatoes, but I can get away with yellow ones. Havent found them in any significant quantity anywhere else.Also, theyre so helpful and friendly!

We spend a ton of $$ at the CoOp! Deli meat and cheese is our go to..but every time we go, there is no grilled chicken packaged.. we always have to ask for it and someone goes back to package it. However, there are many times that the person behind the counter refuses to package it for us!?! Whats up with that?!? Fresh Kalona dairy cream and local eggs.. its a little pricey, but worth the peace of mind, knowing where our food comes from🎯 clean, friendly shopping experience.

A great little place that Im excited to say is getting bigger! Great coffee, dessert options, food bar and all kinds of vegetarian and vegan delights! Great fresh local vegetables and fruits. I must say I was taken back when I was told at the coffee bar that they were out of half and half 😳 Not sure how their system works for getting more, but it was a bit rude. On the flip side, I went in late one night and the coffee was a little on the cool side and the young man offered to steam it for me to heat it up 😁 Customer service is a must!! (I have spent many years in retail, I know)

I cant have dairy and Ive looked all over for good vegan dairy substitutes. I was like a kid in a candy store with all the dairy free foods and other natural foods!
