The dumbest move a new city resident can make at Rainbow is to wander in, head over to the customer service desk, and ask if the store has a meat counter. If you do this, you're in for a lecture about animal rights, the food chain, and so forth. That said, Rainbow makes up for its lack of salami and sausage with one of the very best produce sections in town, an enticing cheese department, a huge assortment of bulk goods, and fresh bread from the Bay Area's best commercial bakeries. It's basically a vegetarian's one-stop picnic shopping trip.

The environmentally- and health-conscious products! The independence! Collectively run, worker owned and operated, Rainbow Grocery is a model for any aspiring co-op (most of which are owned by the customers, not by the workers). It's easy to get lost in row upon row of bright, organic produce, rainbow chard peacefully rustling as... More »
There are many delightful reasons to visit the worker-owned cooperative foodie wonderland that is the Rainbow Grocery, including amazing arrays of tempting toiletries, beckoning baked goods, and seductive sandwiches, all natural, organic, vegetarian, environmentally aware, and health conscious. (Plus we like the big WORKERS ONLY signs in black and yellow over various doors and storerooms, which keep us nonworkers in our place.) But we never fail to visit two sections of the store,... More »
Rainbow's huge warehouse grocery carries organic fruits and vegetables, exotic cheeses, biodegradable shampoo, homeopathic remedies, rows and rows of vitamins including natural aphrodisiacs, and delicious vegan desserts (baked without dairy). There is not a speck of dead flesh to be found in the clean, brightly lit, nice-smelling emporium. Plus, it is a worker-owned cooperative.
