Davis Food Co-op
Member-owned, farm-sourced, Davis to the core.
Can I work from here? In a pinch. There's a deli and a patio where you can grab a coffee or a beer and post up for a bit — but it's a grocery store, not a café.
Bring kids? Works fine — easy aisles, and you can feed everyone at the deli.
Under $20? Doable. Groceries lean organic-and-local (so not bargain-basement), but the deli sandwiches and hot bar make a cheap, solid downtown lunch.
The Co-op's produce is consistently well-chosen — a 100% organic selection sourced from over 50 local farms. Shopping here isn't just groceries; it's a way to eat fresh while supporting local agriculture, and it's a statement about sustainability and community.
It also backs the local economy hard, giving local artisans a platform for their crafts — from handmade soaps to home decor — and showing up at events around town. Whether you're a longtime Member-Owner or a first-timer, it's a genuine blend of community spirit and a great grocery run.
The Co-op got its start buying up the Farmers Market's unsold goods — and it still stocks straight from those vendors, so if you miss Saturday's market you can grab your favorite finds here. Also arguably the best local-beer selection in town.
