Good prices, many vegan items - Edit
Good selection of products, many vegan choices, some bulk-food bins, a produce section at the back, some vegan cheeses in the chiller with the dairy cheeses. Good healthfood shop. Annual membership is $20, but you can buy a three-month membership for $5, if you’re in town temporarily.

A great place for staples and produce - Edit
I rely on Steep Hill for about 3/4 of my food. They get a lot of produce year-round, though sadly only once per week (get there Mondays or you might miss out on some stuff). They provide a lot of local produce, including eggplants, cukes, and tomatoes way earlier in the year than possible in a conventional garden. There is a seasonal component, so lots of cherries, grapes, and other fruits in the summer (also in the off-seasons but fewer options).
Read moreLots of tasty sweets, fair-trade chocolate, candies, ice desserts (coconut-based, soy-based).
Nuts, seeds, dried fruits, canned goods (chilis, soups, beans), dry bulk goods (organic rice, oatmeal, etc.), tofu, tempeh, organic juices...
I notice that some find it expensive, but if you ask to see what the wholesale prices are, you will see that they aren't marked up very high. It's true that it's not cheap food, but I find it to be very reasonable considering it has a lot of local and organic products.
Pros: Very locally focused, It's an actual co-op, Trying to cut down on plastic
Cons: Not the cheapest food (though organic never is)

Disappointment on Broadway - Edit
While I realize that the staff are mostly volunteers just in to get their hours so they don't have to pay a bunch extra on top of high prices, the level of rude behavior is completely outrageous. If a cashier/salesperson acted like that at a 7/11, a grocery store or a gift shop, they would be fired immediately.
Read moreAs to prices, 25% on top of already high prices is ridiculous. I was most disappointed to find that their local, organic products are 3-4 times as expensive as the supermarket and at least twice as pricey as a farmer's market. If you live on any kind of budget, choose carefully at Superstore adn wash well.
Pros: selection, local
Cons: rude staff, high prices
