Wheatsville Food Co-op - Austin, Texas

Been going here since I moved to Austin in the 80s. It still has very much the same vibe and is a great local coop. The store is not huge, but they have most of what you would need, with a lot of local Austin flair. The peanut soup is fantastic.

A staple for healthy and organic foods here on Guadalupe St for as long as I can remember and, long before Whole Foods, Central Market and Sprouts set up shop. It is still my go to for healthy grocery shopping and for their hot food kitchen/ hot food bar.
There is a story going round that this original location will be closing its door for good next year. This is both true and false; the Guadalupe location will be closing because Austin is widening Guadalupe for a new light rail route. However, a new North-Central location of Wheatsville will be opening to take the place of the soon-to-be-closed store. Watch this space.

I think its trying hard to catch up to its sister property in south Austin. This place still feels like it took over a space that used to be a Walgreens or something. Plus it seems that they don’t stock as consistently as the other store (sushi, e.g.) BUT. They have most of what you’d find at the other store and because of that they are a top tier organic option for groceries, with a hot food bar and salad bar, grab and go items, and other staples that can complete a healthy shopping trip. The breakfast tacos are bomb too.

what really stood out was the vegan barbacoa taco with a dozen fresh toppings practically and they wrapped between 2 tacos then aluminum foil around the taco. i like the vegan hotbar sandwich too. i'd go back 2 times a week for the vegan tacos.

Their vegan donuts are the best donuts I’ve ever had. So fluffy & soft. We drove 2.5 hours to get these donuts & it was worth it. Thank you!! Made my daughters whole week!

Also love that they let their employees wear what they like & be themselves. They all looked happy & were so kind. That’s how it should be.

Groceries, cute jewelry, bath products, home goods- this place has it all. Their staff are always helpful and friendly, and unlike most places these days, they sample a wide variety of their products! Which is really great for trying new things. It's a pretty good value for the quality levels you get. I do wish they had member discount days more often - the co-op where I used to live had them twice a month. But overall I love supporting a cooperative shop where they treat the workers well, where shopping is actually fun, and where they source many local, fair trade and organic goods. And all of it is delicious!

Today I was on the area and very hungry. I decided to order a wrap with steak. It was so good. It was filing and the ladies working there were super nice. I’ll be back.
