BriarPatch Co-op Reviews

Staff always helpful in finding items
Produce and food prepared on sight delicious, fresh

I always end up spending way too much money here, but I don't mind supporting a solar powered coop that gives all of its employees health insurance. Plus, they carry amazing products.

This store has good quality organic products and tasty hot food and sandwiches

Excellent service and great variety of nutritional organic products

The prices are high but they definitely have a good selection. Produce is usually fresh and diverse. It has all the basic needs for organic/healthy food and living. Cashiers are usually friendly. Also provides natural care products like oils, diva cup, and good natural lotions, shampoos, etc.

Employees are always in good mood and very helpful.
The store is staffed enough to be able to help the customers in a friendly and timely manner.
The store is incredibly clean.

Awesome health food grocery store! All my favotites and a food bar. The salmon burger is delicious!!! Clean store, good customer service. I will definitely go there again.

Cheep and Heath food, that's how you run a business.

This store is a treasure --- absolutely fantastic in every respect!

Pricey, but high quality organics. Sale items very competitively priced.

BriarPatch consistently offers a wide selection of quality organic produce and meats. They also have a great deli, salad bar and juice bar, along with bulk items. I highly recommend them!

This place has the worst smell walking into the store smells like dirty socks laying around. Also the people walking around the place will walk right into you and not even care or say excuse me very rude. Way over priced!!! Don't even bother with the food bar flys all over the food.

Awesome facility! The staff are helpful and knowledgeable of any specific questions in regards to going green.

It's always a pleasure to shop for the things I need every one is smiling with positive attitude

Great place to find any organic goods you need at a reasonable price. The selection of bulk foods, spices, herbs and teas are outstanding. Their bakery, deli and hot/salad bar are also very good.

I like this store and I don't like it. Really nice selection of good clean healthy foods with an amazing cafe. Parking can sometimes be frustrating but not bad. Some things are overpriced in my opinion when comparing same items at other stores. But I guess you are paying for the whole package.I do recommend shopping here.

Great pasties! Expensive organic food but with a wide selection

Has everything you need. One stop shop for natural and organic things.

The best place around to get some organic awesome soups awesome food awesome produce

If you like whole foods well it's the same but country side version it has almost everything whole foods has

I love the Chicken pesto sandwich, but I like everything at Briar patch!

Awesome food and people. Great to sit, eat my lunch and just take in the atmosphere.

Great place to get ideas for new food ideas to look for and try. Nice lunch stop to buy prepared foods by the pound for a quick lunch. They have a little of everything, some things over priced. A little out of my way for quick random needs, too expensive to do my full shopping needs, they do have locally grown from local farmers which I love but they need to label that fact on each item for he to feel confident. I love the smells of fresh food and delightful oils.

Nice selection of foods and organics. Friendly, helpful service. Prices are reasonable.

Best place around the area to get organic, fresh non gmo vegan and holistic products.
The food bar it s also very good.

Love!!! Fresh, healthy, fun and lots of options. My only wish is that the store and parking area was bigger. Really, the only store you need in the area for provisions

Always a great experience. Best people, place and products. always feel and take better care of me because of this incredible place.

Beautiful selection of produce, prepared foods, and packaged foods. Mostly good prices for the quality of food. Doing great things in the community is a plus!

I love all the items they sell. I just wish the store was a little bigger.

There's nothing better than pure foods and the staff there is super helpful

Cute friendly co-op with lots of local product. Pretty expensive, but the only one of its kind in the area.

I have a soup or burrito there twice a week or so. It's the best food in town, as well as being filled with the world's friendliest locals

Helpful staff, pleasant experience for someone who is only an occasional shopper there. Produce is yummy and locally grown.

Great co-op, would have liked more vegan and gluten free option from the hot food bar.

Great hot food! Quality local produce, meats and other products, knowledgeable staff. Just walking in the place makes me hungry because they are always cooking up something delicious!

My first time going with my daughter, and we loved it

Well sourced organic food, expensive for daily shopping, but great for bulk, produce... Deli is great too.

Briar Patch is a great store. It can be very busy during their busy times. It's worth checking their website to see when those times are.

It's great to have a grocery market like BriarPatch in Nevada County. There's a number of items that are hard to find without having to travel for 45 minutes. The prices are ridiculous, but I'm sure that doesn't surprise you.

Well the produce guys were great and very friendly but the clerk checking us out made us feel stupid and was kinda snobby. But otherwise we enjoyed shopping here :)

Love it! Go there once a week to get goodies from their deli.

good place , lotta local organic produce , products .. pretty easy to get to overall , lotta parking but gets busy , great staff who seem to enjoy there work and what it stands for.. can be a bit pricey for some things , but hey guess being natural isnt cheap.. ? lol

This is a really great store. I even find all the things I need that aren't at regular stores. Love shopping here whenever we're in Grass Valley.

The store has a great selection of items (a huge area for bulk grains and spices, big produce and hot food areas) and have handled covid19 quite well. I stop here all the time and it's my go-to grocery store for organic food :)

Great Organic Foods an great deli for on the go food

Wow great health conscious grocery store and great selection of bulk supplements and much more

Its pretty smelly in there and aisles are narrow, prices high

Awesome co-op with great prepared food, groceries, bulk goods, and health products. Super awesome place to chill and get work done while eating tasty and wholesome food

Always a pleasure. Staff nice and extra helpful. I can find what I'm looking for. They always have my favorite Tazo teas. Breakfast bar has options but sometime potatoes on the bar are too soft. Really love the bulk section.

We don't shop here much for groceries, but do pop in for dinner occasionally. The hot food bar is too expensive, but the burgers and grilled sandwiches are made to order and are mostly $10 or less and are very good. They have a ready-made cold food section (some of which may be heated at home or in their microwave). Our favorite things are the chicken fettuccine Alfredo, the bacon and blue cheese burger, and epic grilled cheese sandwich. And their cold turkey provolone sandwich is super good.

Amazing food. Though pricey, they're worth it for the flavors and local products

From a Covid perspective, safest market we've been to. Masks are strictly enforced, no arguments. 40 folks maximum, so yeah, there's about a 5-minute wait. Same great selection, lots of organic / vegan / gluten-free choices, but also excellent beef, pork, seafood and poultry. Also staples and prepared food available. Can't miss!

Great place to shop. Great food and best employees.

I miss the old Briarpatch off of Grass Valley Highway near the nursery. The building is state of the art, they do have a deli since they opened the new place about 14 years ago. But I miss the old days and the lighter pricing. That said, I do shop there when I'm in town for some of their house made tinctures and other wellness products and I give them two more stars than the Sac CoOp! Sac CoOp could learn from the Briarpatch on customer service and friendliness. Also, I read a negative review of someone complaining that "old ladies told them to pull their masks up" of that is true, I'll more likely shop there since that means they care about my health
Please be thoughtful and wear a proper mask over your nose and mouth. Duh!

They carry duck eggs, my daughter has a chicken egg allergy, but she's good with duck eggs, yay! They're not easy to find.

I really Enjoy Brair patch. Shop with them at least 3 times a week. The availability to high quality products on a wide variety is unmatched in the GV area. I enjoy the breakfast bar, however I believe it is overpriced. Charging the same price /lb. For sausage, eggs, biscuits/gravy etc. As dinner items with more meat, ingredients and prep seems a little crazy. I know I'd buy more if it was priced reasonably. Recipes are great though

Lots of good stuff, parking lot is a trip, don't let your cart get away from you
