Rainbow Grocery Cooperative - San Francisco, California

We absolutely love, love, love Rainbow. The quality of their bulk products is unmatched and the people are immensely helpful and kind. Plus, for the expansive selection and quality, the prices are surprisingly great. They have done an incredible job of keeping their egg prices down!!

We live in San Jose and make the pilgrimage once every 6-8 weeks. It keeps our basics stocked in stocked through to our next visit. I am dedicated to becoming an excellent gluten free baker and grind most of my own flour at home. Because of Rainbow, I’m able to keep myself stocked in an array of amazing grains that I can very inexpensively grind into fresh flour.

I add 1-2 Le Parfait jars to my collection every visit and I am ALMOST complete. Their prices on Le Parfait jars are the best I’ve found anywhere besides COSTCO, but COSTCO doesn’t sell the larger jars I need for bulk items I need to keep in extra large amounts, like rolled oats.

Almost everything in these pictures comes from Rainbow!

My ultimate favorite store!!! 🌈 Insanely huge bulk section where you can find so many vegan zero-waste groceries. They reward you for bringing in your own bulk containers, which is amazing since they have everything you can need in bulk (including household products!) I also love that they're vegetarian, worker owned, and fight for marginalized communities. Truly a magical place ✨🌈✨

I don’t even know where to begin. Easily the best grocery store on the planet. Imagine Erewhon / Good Eggs / Whole Foods / Birite and your local co-op combine except it’s actually affordable and worker-owned and has a soul. They have everything from the basics, to the bulk, to the most obscure. Came for the first time today and now I’m not going to shop anywhere else! 10/10

Amazing shop that I didn’t expect when I step in! The candles are lovely and all the individual packing stuffs are great! Love they have their own merchandises. Also would love to see the various of Asian bento and rolls😋

The groceries here are fantastic, but what really puts Rainbow Grocery Coop in a category of its own is the kindness and helpfulness of the staff. Workers here have regularly asked me if I needed anything and have been friendly and welcoming. I stopped to ask a question at the customer service desk, and was treated with so much kindness by a worker who offered to help me with bulk groceries, go with me through the checkout, bag my groceries and help me to my car while I was trying to handle grocery shopping with a hungry baby! This meant a lot to me as it's hard enough to navigate any grocery store with a little one, and I felt truly seen and cared for in a way that is rare. Thank you!

I always forget how unpleasant the neighborhood is and how impossible the parking is, like the worst Trader Joe’s in the world. Bulk items are about double the price at Winco (since this is San Francisco).

I say this with a lot of discernment: this is the best Co Op grocery store in the country. And its not even close. At all. They have the best of every kind of product you’d want from bulk food (incredible selection), to dark chocolate (far and away the best selection of Dark Chocolate I’ve ever seen and again, its not even close), to grab and go items, and so much more. What an amazing store promoting health and wellness. It’s enough to get me to want to move here to SF just for the Rainbow Co Op. You MUST stop by if you’re in SF and needing groceries or food on the go. What an experience.
