Dublin Food Co-operative Review

Something alternative hidden in the south inner city. Food was good and atmosphere very friendly. I had vegetarian lasagne and a rhubarb lemonade, all priced and made fairly!

Well stocked. Friendly staff. Some vegetables not as fresh as you would hope but overall very good

Awesome - big all vegan store, food/organic veg/beauty. I'm giving 5stars because its the only place in dublin i can buy vegan dog kibble (Yarrah brand) AND they stock VEGO chocolate bars! :)

Great shop and great for seasonal fruits vegetables

Dismayed by a recent visit. There are no zero waste options here. Enormous plastic bags of oats sat behind the till waiting to refill the 'zero waste' dispensers (tip: buy oats in any other store in paper bags and there is no plastic involved). Kitchen utensils on the shelves behind the tills individually wrapped in plastic - plastic that is the removed before placing in a basket for customers to buy. Disingenuous.

Most food comes from Ekoplaza, an eco supermarket in the Netherlands or far flung countries. The food airmiles here are high.

Far too much focus on food that is organic or good for your health, no focus on the planet.

Incredible little place, very friendly, great range of produce. Buying there almost daily and never had any sort of an issue.

I just love the market and the food .The atmosphere is great and chatting to the stall holders about their produce is really interesting. I always come away with a smile on my face . My daughters love it too.

Friendly staff and a positive atmosphere. All the fresh produce from the co-op is organic, fresh and delicious. It is my favorite store in the area for daily bread and old fashioned organic fresh milk that creams on the top, just as it should.

The Food Co-Op at Newmarket has a wonderful Eco-friendly Grocers store also a cafe. The Fusion Sunday Culture Market is held on the 2nd Sunday each month great vibes & atmosphere.

Such a nice and hip place! Amazing food selection, friendly people, great music. Just nice to hang out and have a bite. Love it!

What a great place to shop or volunteer! Natural products, vegetarian options, teas, fresh produce, and healthy food options are all available here. Join and become a member to receive 5% off your purchase. This is a great place to find local or EU produced natural holistic or organic items.

Great produce and unusual jars of things like date syrup which I needed last year and couldn't find. Now I have a jar!
Fresh vegetables, bread and great milk!
Well run shop, clean and friendly.
Would like to shop there more regularly.

Will be better when they get back into their big hall again. Problems with the neighbouring building site....

High Prices.
Beautiful display of exotic stock.
Brilliant variety of products.
The health food enthusiast's paradise
Visit & enjoy !

It is a place were you feel welcomed and were people will recognise you and help you out!

a very good source of Local, Organic and Fairtrade food market in Dublin. Open from Wednesday to Sunday.

Old stuff, new stuff, exotic food, watch your pockets - you may spend more than you anticipated but I haven't regretted it yet.

the market is on 2nd of april this sunday.lots of bargains.friendly people.

Great spot for locally sourced and organic fruit and veg

For people who love to cook or simply appreciate healthy food. Plenty of vegan food option. Perfect place to find organic food.

The food in the shop is organic and excellent quality. You can become a member and get a discount on your shopping
You can volunteer to work for two hours every five weeks and receive a further discount. People here are very friendly, there is a walking club once a month.

The usual excellent range of products, well priced and knowledgeable staff.

If you are from Orange County, California... this is the closest you can get to Mother's Market & Kitchen!

Love it and all it stands for. Best unsulphurised Apricots.

so disappointed. it is a small shop and not a large market as google images suggests. most of the fruit and veg is international. no local sellers as you would hope to see at a co op.

The Dublin food Co-op has a lot of fresh veggies and other foods like bread. There is a nice place that serves breakfast and the pancakes there are amazing served with syrup and strawberry sauce! Good place for good natural foods.

Excellent ethical grocery store. Be careful of the opening times.

Carries everything organic, fair trade and vegan that you would need but prices are a bit high.

Nice market with prepared foods and stalls selling non-food products.

I mostly go here to buy August Natura Equa fair trade Italian coffee beans which are beyond awesome. They also sell a large selection of organic produce. There is a cafe, and occasionally there is live music.It is a co-op rather than a conventional business. Sadly, they will be moving premises in the next year or so; hopefully to somewhere I can get to.

Went into the food co-op because a friend recommended the french toast in the little cafe at the back. It was excellent, two large slices of bread with sides of jam and maple syrup. Absolutely delicious.

Fantastic place for original and amazing shopping a very good prices. Marvelous healthy good! A very good place to spend time with your friends and family.

Good produce but found the female employee very rude and condescending for no reason. I know times are tough because of the virus but taking it out on someone trying to support local suppliers isn't on. There's always two sides to a story but on this occasion I really don't know what I did to deserve it. I only went in for some eggs.

Sought out this place today, about a twenty min drive with the kids in tow, but I wasn t disappointed. Really clean, staff very friendly without hovering over you. Reading other reviews I understand that people might say it s not cheap (why would anyone think good quality organic food would be cheap?) but I wouldn t say it s expensive. It s cheaper than many health food stores I ve been in lately. Love that I can bring my own jars and fill them. Love that they have a huge range of household cleaning alternatives to chemical supermarket produce. Love the fresh veg. What these people are providing is way above what most shops are providing with regards to high quality food and care for the environment. Reviews might nit-pick at the imperfections but it s not easy to start up a business in Ireland and keep it running and making any kind of profit. So WELL DONE for doing it. I will be back.

One of my favourite places. It is for you if you like flea markets, organic food, vintage stuff and or experimental/ underground lifestyle

Love it great places great idea does great work and cares about the environment

Great place to get local and sustainable produce, and now do packaging free products! Markets on Sundays are great and the cafe at the back has the best eggs tomatoes and avocado!

Nice range and good prices! Lots of local Irish produce. Was disappointed with the woman at the till she was very rude and stand offish.. felt like I was bothering her just by being in the shop.

Much smaller now that adjacent building gone, but still a welcome outlet for good organic food, though not cheap, and good bread on Saturdays

Excellent range and perfect for sports people , vegans, vegetarians, the environmentally conscious and others. Organic HQ. Helpful and friendly staff and atmosphere. Huge choice and great location. Excellent use of space for the size of the outlet compared to amount of available produce. Highly recommended .

Friendly staff, and great selection of organic fruit and veg

Good quality organic and vegan friendly food but so expensive.

Little options and can find the same product in Supermarket for cheaper price (some products)

Great food and always some interesting stuff being sold in the stalls. Have found some real treasures in the flea markets here.

Smiles, yummy food, good produce and nice events and markets...

Absolutely love this place. I go weekly for fresh bread, bulk organic goods, and just for the atmosphere.

Nice place with a great selection of organic and whole foods. Great veg selection too.

Fantastic selection of organic food and household goods. The cafe provides amazing vegan food and cakes. Staff are very helpful. You need to join but receive a discount when you purchase goods. It is a little haven in Dublin 8.

Good mix of organic household and food items. Expensive. Unfortunately almost all their fresh food and veg is brought in from around the world so very little Irish produce.

Great no waste options available and they even have some used jars you can use if you've forgotten your reusable containers.

A great place for the more unusual things to buy at very good prices

Yes yes yes . this is what Dublin together is like.

Nice shop. Wish for some real organic and fresh produce.

Fantastic place for shopping organic and for the brunch ! I like this community

Indoor organic market with lovely cafe' serving great coffee. The selection of vegetables is quiet limited and more expensive than other organic markets plus not much else to buy in terms of fresh food, apart from ready to eat food. But there is a health food store that stocks a large selection of packed products.

Great selection of healthy products, mostly organic and fairtrade. Some are locally produced. There are vegan and gluten-free options as well. Pricing is fair as it is run as a cooperative. Some products are available without packaging to reduce waste.

Organic food can be found here. Extra virgin olive oil and cranberries ...etc. They also offer a membership that gives discounts to members every time they buy stuff.

One of my favorite places in Dublin! Amazing food, great atmosphere! The best place for organic and wholemeal nutrition! ;)

Maybe I misunderstood the purpose of a coop. I was expecting mostly local produce but from what I see the vast majority of both the fresh food outside and the stuff on the shelves inside came from outside Ireland. Even things like carrots, which grow plentiful in Ireland, came from somewhere else in Europe. Given the high prices I d rather spend my money supporting local producers.

Very good products with the expected price. But staff is incredibly slow, so there are long waiting times unfortunately. :(

Brilliant market. Very good food. Relaxing and good mood.

Love this treasure trove of healthy, organic produce. Hilights for me are montazuma chocolate and lillys full range of eco cleaning products.

Great place for flours, grains and general health food stuff

An excellent place in Dublin to find products in bulk. I love there new gravity bins! I am hoping to find more and more loose and refillable products.

Great community, great variety of products and great quality of food. If you are looking for organic or healthy and you have not been here you should drop by. If you are interested in becoming part of an alternative shopping community, once where you can get involved and help grow you should for sure call down. Great cafe with great food, lovely activities also.
