BriarPatch Co-op Reviews

Love it here. Great selection of food & especially love all the starter plants for my garden. Really appreciate the huge variety of organic starters. Staff is always really nice and super friendly. We joined as co-op owners & enjoy the things we can order in bulk at a bigger discount.

Amazing selection of health focused foods and goods, wonderful service, lots of parking, and we'll stocked. Aisles are narrow, always very (sometimes extremely) busy, prices are a little high on some items ...but highly recommended overall.

Hi quality produce, great deli and bulk food selections.

Great place for organic food and the people working there know there business.

Great place for a fast organic meal anytime breakfast, lunch and dinner

Expensive, but honestly, the only option for natural/healthy grocery shopping. The deli has great food.

This is a very friendly place to shop. The staff is mostly helpful and kind.
Thank you Briar Patch.

Great food, a bit pricy, but man the people there.... plus, and this isn't the first time this has happened, it smelled like rancid BO when I walked in there tonight

Great place to purchase my non-standard groceries, as well as my staples. Fast and friendly service as always!

Lots and lots of healthy food, good beer selection. Overall

Love love love their new parking lot! Friendly service great food if your in a hurry, on the go! Easy access fair prices.

Wide selections of food stuffs. Natural, vegan, etc. Co-op type store, non-members welcome. Friendly, helpful staff. Meals available.

LOVE the variety in their bulk section and plenty of vegan/vegetarian products!

Love Briar Patch... It is very busy around 1230...if possible go early

Would love to rate this place higher BUT, you thought WHOLEFOODS was expensive!?!? This place is a cooperative that's suppose to return profits to it's member's!? NOT just continually expand and build on so that they can sell more outrageously priced local produce and goods.. I disagree with a lot of directions they have taken, and I think they have lost the spirit of a cooperative. . .

Love it, find everything but with pricey pricey tags

Love this place. Great prepared food and outdoor eating area, good variety, fair prices.

Had a wonderful experience learning about essential oils.

Friendly,fully stocked and delicious baked goods. Yummy prepared foods too!

rad little co-op really nice local produce as it should be in cali.

Place to go for hard to find items if you don't mind the mixture of BO and patchouli. I was able to find star anise and juniper berries in their extensive self serve splce rack before it was closed due to Covid. Place reminds me of Berkeley Coop in the 60's including upscale hippie style clothes. Staff very friendly and always helpful.

Briar patch is one of my favorite places in this area to come eat and enjoy community. Usually there are musicians and artists out side sharing beauty. The employees are all so kind and genuine. A lot of us locals call this "the vortex" because its so easy to run into beautiful heart centered beings and see the sparkle in their eye and get sucked into a portal of love. Hahaha what can I say, great quality organically grown food attracts lovely people. May all of briar patch and all who enter be blessed with endless abundance, joy, peace, and love in all the most beautiful and soulful ways...

All the health food options you need in one place, with a great hot food bar for dinner and lunch on the go.

Have a lot of health items. Senior discount helps. Being a member also helps. Great everything but you pay for it.

Love the 'Patch'. Cannot say enough about this store. If freshness, organic and non-gmo is important to you, shop and eat here!

Community involvement, member input, great selection

Fantastic organic food selection and really great deli with delicious hamburgers. Can be pricey but the benefits of membership are worth it.

If you want to shop at one of the best Co-Ops in America this is the place.

Reasonable prices on great organic produce & great coffee to sip on while shopping!

A big health food co-op that has a wide variety of foods from vegetables, fish, meat to prepared sandwichs, salads and other items.

I used to work here, loved it but the upper management need to learn the lesson of treating employees with respect.

Nice place for groceries there is a membership option. It s not required to shop but I believe there is a discount or rebate if you have one. It is a little on the pricey side. I need to figure that out. It s very clean and staff is super friendly and helpful. The bulk section is wonderful.

Wonderful, inviting to great healthy body and mind foods and supplements.

Love Briar Patch & All the Sweet Staff make it a Great Community Market to shop for Real Food.

Loved this place. It has vegan food for purchase, outdoor seating to eat a quick bite and you can get your groceries along with some new reading glasses, new tea cup, sunscreen etc

Everything is extremely overpriced.
I shop here for only certain items.

First time here. Sweet people love the juice bar. First place I will stop at when I am in town. Awesome!!!

Love this place. Lots of great choices in the deli.

Community based co op doing good things providing good product

Briarpatch has great employees! I just wish the turnaround of them wasn't so great.

Relatively well stocked.
There are other grocery stores in the area but this one caters to the Posh Hippy needs and desires of the area. Outdoor seating, good selection of organic veggies, creative drinks, sauces and munchie fare for the locals.

They have solar shaded parking for patrons.

Great market, really good prepared food, and food to go.

Pricy, hippy friendly l, and free Wi-Fi, many of the items here can be found at other places like Safeway, twist' is that EVERYTHING here is organic or natural in some way. Would recommend only if you have alot of money to spare on food.

So many organic, gluten free, wonderful options. I really enjoy this store. Little on the pricey side, but worth it

Just a fun place to go. Oh and lots of healthy choices

Great local spot for groceries and hot/cold deli counter.

My first time here and I loved it! Great vegan choices and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful when I had questions.

Interesting grocery store. However, the prices were extremely outrageous! Buy somethings, and you'll be contributing to the owners' kids college fund!

I love this little market. Full of good, healthy products and laid out nicely. Not cramped. Downsides: parking (lot is tight and I'm almost always waiting for a spot), pricey (as often is the case with small grocery markets), & I wish they offered more stevia/xylitol/fruit sweetened items. I don't eat cane sugar and I'd expect more in that department. Still a nice little market. And it's local. And I love to support local when I can.

I love local and organic markets! So thankful for shops like this! They even have a really tasty soba noodle soup at their mini soup bar! Definitely pricey, but you get what you pay for when it comes to quality.

This place is pretty good. My first couple of impressions of it weren't that great. It is very out of the way for me. But, as I've continued to return, I find things there I can't get anywhere in Auburn.

Ordered a large ice coffee, the sign said it was "toddy style". Would be cool if that's what i got but they pulled an espresso shot, poured it over ice and filled the large cup up with cold sink water. Wtf? Besides that it's an okay place i guess.

Friendly staff and great selection but the prices are a bit outrageous.

Best hot food bar, including made to order. Of all of the co-ops in the general region. Staff is generally friendly, there's a lot of the same faces you're after a year which I like...to me it means they probably treat their employees pretty well. Seems like they value having local produce as much as possible. I like the little blurbs about the farmers in the region that you'll find in the produce section. All in all it's definitely my favorite Co-op to go to.

I ve been coming here my whole life both to sell our family s produce and as a consumer and I hope they will continue to support us small scale local farmers. Thank you BriarPatch!

The Brier Patch awesome. The staff is extremely helpful and they have a great selection of good foods

Still judging....
Please hold...

Great bulk herbs. Bought skullcap, chamomile, and others.
