Great selection of products not just the same old stuff. I’ve been trying lots of new things because they put different things out on display. This time I was on my way out and saw a new coffee next to the register called THE B.e.s.t damn coffee. It’s local and women owned so I couldn’t say no ?

Come with your own containers and fill them up (if you forget any container they have extra for you). I LOVE this place. Have been buying all my food here for three years now and I don’t even live super close.

Great little coop with a good selection of staples and snacks, including hard to find local items.

Best bulk bin offerings in Manhattan I've found yet. There is a large selection of beans, grains, nuts, dry fruits, and other ingredients at a good price. I'll continue making the trip to refill my essentials. Oh, and the person working was nice

The bulk tofu here is more affordable than packaged tofu anywhere else in the city! I love the bulk noodles/pasta, bulk oils, flour, and friendly people. I plan on coming back to refill on maple syrup.

Best place in the city for produce, quality and price can't be beat. Bulk goods are good too

The best selection of bulk grains and dried beans, and other ingredients and spices and olive oils that I have yet to see in NYC. Located just East of 2nd ave on 4th street. I often purchase whole grain hulled barley and black beluga lentils which are difficult to find at any other organic grocery stores, where few if any whole foods stores even have these bulk items in bins. You are encouraged to use your own container or charge to save on packaging waste, and you don't have to be a member and can still receive discounts in some cases. The prices are very fair. The members that work as staff are unusually friendly and patient. If the store is crowded or there is technical error, it can be a long wait, but it is still a better store than other grocery options. Almost all of the bulk items and fruits and vegetable are organic and locally sourced (not as local as the union square greenmarket, but sourcing from local Lancaster Farms in many cases from PA), and some items such as apples can be sourced from the NYC greenmarket, at one time from the only NY State organic apple orchard.- Be careful of the hours, as the store is only open later in the day on Wednesdays when they are re-stocking, posted on their website, and regularly opens after 12pm on most days of the week and weekend. You can conveniently call the store to confirm they are open, and confirm if anything that you want is in stock, which I often do before traveling to the store when stocking up on grains and dried goods.

Got charged way too much for the Irish Moss. The tare was 0.50, the weight of the moss was 0.06, but was calculated as 0.56. The pictures include my receipt, in which I was way over-charged. The mung beans were 0.61 pounds, slightly more than 1/2 a pound, but the sea moss does not even come close weight wise, and is not anywhere near 1/2 a pound. I tried to tell them that I did want it, asked if I could put it back, but they said no. I felt very awkward, embarrassed, and uncomfortable, so I paid and left, now feeling like I should have just left my containers there and walked out.

This is a tiny, cramped food coop, non-corporate with a bunch of organic food in bins and friendly people ready to chat. If you live in the area, you'd be a fool not to check out this place--it is hard to beat for those interested in healthy food. For those who are just visiting the area, corporate mega-stores admittedly do have certain advantages, but it is great to know that a place like this exists.

I love coming to the 4th st food co-op. They are very friendly and comply with safety regulations against covid. When you go in you must leave your bags/carts in the entrance and go into the back of the store to wash your hands; only 4 people allowed inside the store including staff. Their prices are reasonable and products are great quality. A little far from me but it's always nice to make the trip and buy something from them. ?
