Disappointed this visit - Edit
I really try to be positive but my visit was a bit disappointing. The staff was not particularly helpful but pointed out the case that had hot vegan breakfast sandwiches. There was one left and the staff member indicated that she knew that might be the case. I asked if they could make me another — no they only make a certain amount each day. It was also the smallest vegan breakfast sandwich I have ever been sold. Nobody suggested ( though I made it clear I was looking for something to eat that was vegan) a sandwich. The self ordering system for ordering a sandwich was not super easy and by the end ( 5 mins later) I finally had to track down staff to help me. While I was waiting for my sandwich I ordered drinks. I am really not sure how the staff could have been slower. I felt as though my drinks were the lowest priority. Let me also say that with almost NO ONE else waiting for a drink and sandwich I could not believe how long a wait I had.

The most wonderful - Edit
Coming here is a little bit like walking into a wonderland. So many vegan options throughout the store. Also the sandwiches can be made to order very yummy vegan. The employees are incredibly lovely.

Selection and convenience - Edit
Stopped here on our way to Anacortes and the islands from the Seattle airport. Good decision--it was right on our way! Nice selection of vegan cheeses and staples, plus a deli with hot dinner entrees. That evening they were featuring groundnut stew, which was fantastic. Prices were a tad high, but the convenience was worth it. Charming, old-fashioned building with blooming flowers by the door and a welcoming, community feeling.

Excellent for the area! - Edit
This place has all the vegan groceries you would expect at a natural food store. It’s the bakery/deli that is more limited. You will definitely find at least one hot and a couple of cold vegan entree options and maybe a baked treat.

Love it - Edit
I’ve been going here for decades and always make sure to stop by when I’m back in WA. Loads of interesting vegan options on the shelves, in bulk, and in the in-store deli. Small town, cozy feeling

Good for hungry vegans! - Edit
This is a great stop to pick up grocery items or to have lunch. Lots of vegan food to choose from in their deli. Their vegan African stew is fantastic. Most times I am just passing through so I’ll grab a pre-made veggie sandwich (made with Veganaise) and a few other things. Their vegan chocolate mousse is great. Not a lot of vegan baked goods to choose from though so I head over to the chocolate aisle near the front door and get a package of 2 Cocomels Organic Sea Salt Coconut Milk Caramels. Upstairs there’s a cute gift shop and a large dining area with microwave and utensils. It’s a very cozy atmosphere. Best co-op I’ve ever been to.

Excellent co-op with lots of vegan and vegetarian options - Edit
Skagit Valley Co-op is an excellent co-op with thousands of veg options. The food they make is fantastic, and they do a great job of labeling things that are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free. I highly recommend the rosemary tofu when they have it. I also really like their soups as well. It's a wonderful co-op in general. Make sure you go upstairs while you are there.

Best Skagit Valley grocery store - Edit
Vegan options are clearly marked in the deli, salad bar and hot station. They almost always have a vegan soup and offer a vegan deli sandwich with veganaise. If you are into desserts, try the oatmeal cream cookie sandwich made with coconut cream frosting!

Decent vegan options for Skagit County - Edit
A good stop if you find yourself in no-vegman's land half way between Seattle and B-ham. They have a salad bar usually with a vegan soup option. Deli items are marked V for vegan, such as marinated tofu spears, curry tofu, thai wrap, sesame kale, olive salad, sweet potatoes. For dessert, they always have a vegan cookie: raspberry almond, chocolate, or oatmeal sort. Also look for vegan coconut pudding. Beware of items labeled as "v w/h" if you are avoiding honey. Decent selection of vegan grocery items.
Read morePros: soup, cookies, salad bar, good local farm produce, good selection of CG juice
Cons: beware of vegan w honey label, many items with cheese

good food store - Edit
The selection is great.
Read moreA few points:
the local breads are non-og
lots of juices available in the back, nicely done
the deli is sketchy for vegans, nothing more than tofu but lots of meats etc
nice upstairs seating w wifi
staff is all super friendly
parking is busy
This place is ideal for staples and fresh produce, the juice bar in back. Forget the deli.
Pros: staples and produce, staff
Cons: meaty deli
