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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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.
