BriarPatch Co-op Review

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

What an amazing place! Plenty of amazing produce, fantastic staff, and wonderful cafe. We were camped up charging our electric car and found the whole experience totally enjoyable. We only wish this was in our local supermarket!

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.

Food is always fresh, good tasting. We get the fresh salad, plenty of choices and eat it there.We take home the soup, always yummy.

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

Fog Cutter coffee and Bleu Cheese bacon cheeseburger please.

Real quality food, really excellent deli, wonderful rotating buffet. Just an excellent place to get food and groceries, but the higher prices reflect that.

Healthy organic food in abundance. Pricey. Good food and juice/coffee bar.

Love this place, you can enjoy a meal on the patio and listen to local artist adding music to the day

One of the friendliest, best-known businesses in the world!

To many people not wearing masks, not social distancing.

Excellent choice of organic locally sourced produce, healthy options, delicious sandwiches and wraps made to order, and a huge bulk section with nearly anything you can think of. Very friendly staff as well.

Has good prepared food. Good selection and glutten free and vegan options. Small produce area and expensive.

What i particularly like about briarpatch at this time is how careful they are about coronavirus. They only allow 40 people in the store, and masks are required. Staff is still very helpful and friendly, and the selection of organic foods is still top notch. And not as expensive as it could be.

Awesome place, great people, the cultural heart of Nevada County. A little pricey, but an awesome place to hang out. Highly recommended.

It's a great place with a large selection of natural products, good food, and delicious pastries

Probably the best co-op in the world. havent seen anything better when it comes to price and selection. The bulk section is epic. A mecca for everything organic, and it is a distributor. become a member and enjoy. Love the music out front. Ties the whole community together well, and the staff are well trained and extremely polite.

Great food selection. Know that the hot bar and deli area can be very busy during the lunch rush.

This place has a great food bar and Deli. I'm there at least once a day. Would recommend it for sure.

Friendly people, beautiful fresh organic produce, local products, great bulk selection of grains, flours, nuts, I could go on and on.

best selection of organic produce i have seen.amazing food from the food bar.And wide variety of snacks

Local organic reasonable priced produce
Fabulous conscious deli food
The healthiest meats
Fabulous service

We are never disappointed at Briar Patch. The people are wonderful and friendly. The food is delicious and healthy. It is, by far, my favorite place to shop.

Great shopping experience and really helpful staff, we got our cheese for Christmas and the lady who helped us was excellent as was the cheese.

Amazing place. Wanna buy everything. And customer service is top notch

Love Briar we found it 8 years ago, we pay a little more but are comfortable knowing they carry majority of
Organic produce. With that said I do feel that with this pandemic everyone should have to wear masks to enter the store. Its not forever but until there is a vaccine 7:00 till 10:00 in the morning is not enough..Super spreader are real.

Hippies and tree huggers. But really good products to choose from. Oh and my boy works there..hahaha. he needs a raise.

good selection, extremely high prices and cluster of a parking lot.

Wow. Happy staff and quality galore! What would happen if the whole world could eat this well?

I really like their wide selection of homeopathic remedies. They are a nice alternative to modern medicine. Their staff are always extremely helpful to when trying to find what you need.
