Opened in 1975 by eight dedicated individuals who wanted to provide a wholesome alternative to commercial stores, this co-op remains true to its populist roots. The main draw is its overflowing supply of organic and earth-friendly products. If you're on the prowl for big-name products or meat, though, you'll want to head elsewhere. Buyers are strict, maintaining an almost anarchist agenda, and... more

From seaweed to quinoa, the heart of Rainbow Grocery is its bulk bins, where you can buy as much (or as little) as you need.

I was visiting my brother in San Francisco last summer. He decided he needed to get a few things at Rainbow Grocery. I couldn't believe the size of this place. The co-op that I shop in in Traverse City, Michigan could fit in one corner of this place. I could have spent hours looking around. Unfortunately I could buy very little because I was flying home the next day. What a treasure to have in... more
