La Montañita Co-op Food Market - Nob Hill

I do enjoy this place and it’s more of a convenience more than anything. I’m happy they have a water dispenser and adequate fresh produce. Things are a little over priced and I find natural grocers more affordable. I understand this can be a stressful time, but it’s not like the place is packed or super busy that people are overwhelmed. They have friendly staff but on the other hand you won’t know who you’ll get. There are days you’ll run into rude & condescending people. I don’t get it. I just go, buy my items, and leave.

Best local and organic food in town. Clean friendly with an attentive colorful staff.

I used to go to this store all the time and not sure what happened. Perhaps I am spoiled by Wholefoods awesome customer service because after coming back to this store a while back, I was chocked how this store has gone downhill when it comes to customer service. Some of the people who work there are just rude, condescending, and obnoxious. The prices are also outrageous, and I am wondering how they stay in business. I am so happy there are other awesome health food stores in town where they make an effort training their employees, but at the La Montañita Co-op Food Market - Nob Hill, it seems like the employees see themselves way too good to perform customer service for their customers.

I really like this grocery store. They have a wide supply of natural and vegan products. They have a large section in the back that is only vegan meat substitutes and products. They also label which products are local. BUT The main reason I wanted to shop here was because I was lead to believe by employees that they supported a zero waste lifestyle. They have a huge section of bulk items and I was elated to find them but when I came and brought my containers ready to shop I was told that was not allowed. I had to use a plastic bag. The whole point of ALL of this for me is to avoid plastic bags!!! It just is not worth it to get in my car, drive 30 minutes, pay for parking, and pay their super high prices just so I can use plastic. I can do that at Walmart for like 1/3 or 1/4 the price. Staff is super nice and I love their Strauss milk theater is packaged in glass. I verified they still recycle the glass bottles. Their local soaps are a good price. But everything else is a no. I understand a lot of people are worried about COVID which is why I’m not angry. But COVID is a level 3 co cern for me while the environment and saving money rate much much higher. So if I have to use plastic I can go elsewhere and save a LOT of money.
