This seems like one of few locally owned grocery stores in Corvallis, Oregon. I love the fact they are one of first grocery stores ihere to sell organic food.
Definitely the manager with the pink hair on top of her noggin Definitely looks at people like they don't belong there. She said she's been there 7 years you would think she'd be a lot less judgmental of african American individuals. Nasty energy to experience while shopping. You think someone working there for a decade would be nicer. But I guess the longer u stay working somewhere..the more bitter you become. Or maybe just to DARKER INDIVIDUALS
I came in here because I got a coupon for some pet products and wanted to look for something to treat my cats with. I will preface that this is not the kind of shopping I do, I am more of a Winco person but wanted to check it out. I was intimidated by the prices and felt oddly out of place. None of the employees asked if I needed anything even though I felt like I looked clueless. Though the store was very clean and seems like an incredible option for people that prioritize those kinds of products.

Reviews
The First Alternative Co-op North Store in Corvallis, Oregon, receives mixed reviews from customers. While some praise the high quality local produce, vegan baked goods, outstanding bulk section, and friendly atmosphere of the store, others criticize the rising prices, hit-or-miss customer service, poor bakery items quality, and perceived focus on high-priced organic products catering to a high-income clientele. Some visitors feel intimidated by the prices and out of place but acknowledge the cleanliness and appeal for those prioritizing sustainable products. Despite differing opinions on pricing and staff attitudes, many customers appreciate the diverse selection of products including fresh coffee beans, salad bar with interesting toppings, gourmet snacks, excellent produce options as well as unique offerings like Magnesium supplements and handcrafts.

The North Co-op is my favorite grocery store. They generally have high quality local produce at good prices. The owner discount is helpful for food budgets. They have some good vegan baked goods, and their bulk section is outstanding. The atmosphere in the store is friendly and relaxing.
Great salad bar with lots of interesting toppings. Bulk bins with nuts, seeds, dried fruit, fours, granola. Bulk frozen food. Packaged groceries. Gourmet snacks and excellent produce.
