Their smoothies are the best in town. Their hot bar is delicious. The produce is fresh and reasonable. Good Foods Coop is a regular stop for me, and I cannot imagine my life without it. I get soup from the hot bar, put it directly in my freezer, and then take it out during the week on my way to... More

I eat here a couple of times per month (and shop at the grocery weekly). Good Foods has consistently been a rare and excellent option for eating healthy food that tastes GREAT. I think it is definitely the healthiest lunch option in Lexington. I'm always satisfied, and never feel weighed down of sick after eating there (unlike most lunch grease-spots).... More

however it is EXPENSIVE. I am a proud owner but still, I do nto get why it has to be expensive. Their hot buffe for breakfast/lunch/dinner are my favorites.

An inviting space inside the coop grocery provides vegetarians and meat lovers options for a tasty mean. Choose what you like and see it.

I go there routinely when I don't feel like cooking and want a healthy, home-cooked meal!

The Good Foods Coop is generally a friendly place to shop. The restaurant provides wholesome and healthful food, and the chefs are to be commended for their creativity and variety. However, enjoyment is diminished by the rudely disinterested staff at the buffet check-out. Why people without the basic social skills are working there is a mystery. As friendly customers we...

The Co-op's hot bar is open for weekday lunch and dinner, plus brunch on weekends. (There's a cold salad bar that's available much of the time if the hot bar is closed.) Plus you can bring items from the adjoining grocery, such as produce or yogurts. There are always at least 10 options for vegans, and all ingredients are listed... More

By far the worst breakfast I have every had! This morning I got the breakfast bar and was pleased by the look of so many vegetarian dishes. And then I ate them...The soy sausage gravy and biscuits lacked flavor. I would rather have eaten putty. The eggs were runny and had never seen the sight of salt and pepper. The... More

This is such a great store, resturaunt, market, and coffee bar. They have great quick food that is tasty and nutritious. They have anything natural that you could ask for and care about thier community and customers. This store is one in a million, can't wait to see what they do next.

Every time I eat here I wonder why I don't do it more often. The food is wonderful. All the ingredients are super fresh and high quality, and somebody in the kitchen really knows how to cook. For dinner there's a hot buffet with veggies, vegetarian entrees (vegan also), chicken, fish, soups, etc. There's an AMAZING salad bar, so many... More
