Wonderstate Coffee Big Dipper
I was always a fan of the heavily roasted coffee brands until I finally took a chance on Wonderstate. Talk about a delicious cup of coffee. I typically brew my morning cup with a French press. It’s a darker roast but the integrity of the bean is still intact, leaving it with this rich almost chocolate-like flavor. -Francis, Facilities
Pamela’s Lemon Shortbread Cookies
These cookies have a crumbly, buttery texture that makes shortbread satisfying, and the lemon balances nicely with the sweetness of the cookie. -Zoe, Front End
Willy Street Co-op Vegan Smoky Black Bean and Sweet Potato
This is a great year-round salad made by the Co-op! It has some smokiness and heat from the chipotles in the dressing. It’s a colorful side dish that is light enough for picnics in the summer or to go with heartier fare in the winter. -Ethan, Production Kitchen
Ener-C Tangerine Grapefruit Drink Mix
Deliciously fizzy, this is a staple to always have on hand. For stomach bugs, when you don’t want to or can’t eat, this tasty electrolyte and vitamin C blast will get you through to real foods and drink again. I also take it on backpacking trips as a zippy pick-me-up along the trail and always have one or two stashed in my bag for on-the-go energy and emergencies. -Kjerstin, Front End
Jeni’s Pineapple Upside Down Cake Ice Cream
The acidic and tart pineapple base contrasts really well with the caramel ribbon. The cake crumbs make for a fun texture as well. I like that the pineapple flavor is given center stage rather than the cake itself, as the pineapple was always my favorite part of the cake as a kid! -Ruby, Front End
Wisco Pop! Cherry and Strawberry Sodas
Wisco Pop! (preferably the Cherry or Strawberry flavor) is the ONLY soda that I enjoy either freshly cracked open or left out. That’s right friends, this exquisite choice of beverage exerts deliciousness even when left flat. I won’t spoil it for you but I’ll leave a hint. Cake in a can. -Circe, Grocery
Willy Street Co-op Nashville Hot Tofu Sandwich
Looking for the perfect grab and go lunch? The deli’s Nashville Hot Tofu Sandwich is where it’s at! A thick slab of Southern Fried Tofu cooked in spices, topped with vegan mayo, pickles, and our Sumi Salad, this sandwich is the closest thing to perfection and super filling! I work in the Deli and still buy this for lunch every time it is available—it is that good! -Rachael, Deli
Nemat Amber Fragrance Oil
I love a good earthy, comforting scent that isn’t too strong and stays around for a while. This amber oil has a unique, intoxicating smell that will have you looking for someone to cuddle with and share the delicious scent. -Phillip, Produce
Cedar Grove Cheese Cheese Curds
Possibly my favorite item in the entire store. Who doesn’t love cheese curds? -Jake, Produce
Woodstock Banana Water
Even as a fan of bananas, I never would have expected to enjoy something called “banana water,” but here we are. It is delicious, and the perfect alternative to sugar-packed sports drinks. It’s a thirst quencher, and a great pick-me-up on those days you’re feeling a little groggy. -Jake, Communications
Driftless Provisions Summer Sausage
The best tasting summer sausage! Locally produced and no nitrates. The texture is buttery and the seasoning is spot on. Great for snacks, cheese plates, or lunch boxes! -Kate, Front End
Harmony Valley Farm Garlic Scapes
This is my favorite part of the plant! I prefer the more mellow flavor, and find them easier to digest, especially compared to raw garlic. I love to puree them with a little olive oil, and add this to homemade vinaigrette, marinades, and sauces. You can also freeze the puree! They are incredible when pickled and used as a condiment. -Andy, Purchasing
Willy Street Co-op Spinach & Feta Brats
YUM! Easy to prepare, great flavor, local, and good with or without a bun, with eggs, or anytime! -Ellen, Logistics
FEED Bakery Turtle Brownie with Pretzel Crust
A delicious balanced sweet treat with a pretzel finish. For picnics or single serve for you! -Stephen, Logistics
Bachan’s The Original Japanese Barbecue Sauce
This sauce is the absolute best! It boasts sweet and salty umani flavors with a silky texture and consistency. It works well in marinades, drizzled over roasted veggies, or as a topping on your favorite Asian dishes. -Collin, Cheese
Shady Maple Acres Rainbow Cherry Tomatoes
These locally grown rainbow tomatoes are only available for a short time every summer! They are the most flavorful tomatoes and a real summer highlight. I like to pair them with fresh mozzarella and crackers or sourdough toast but often find myself just eating them on their own. -Hahna, Production Kitchen
Uglies Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips
These are the absolute best salt and vinegar chips! They’re made with imperfect potatoes that might be thrown away by other companies, and Uglies donates to help children with food insecurity so the only guilt you’ll have is from binge eating the entire bag of these delicious chips. -Katy, Front End
Pranarōm Sandalwood, Organic Australian Essential Oil
This essential oil is rugged, woodsy and spicy, but it really shines when it’s diluted in a neutral carrier oil such as jojoba- it becomes smooth, rich, warm, and slightly sweet smelling. This plus its anti-inflammatory and astringent properties make it a great beard conditioner, skin moisturizer (when diluted), or personal fragrance. -Ben, General Merchandise
Dashelito’s Sweet Heat Hot Pepper Sauce
As the name implies, it is a magical balance of mild jalapeño and sweetness that just seems to go with everything. It’s a nice entry-level hot sauce that’s more about flavor enhancement than scovilles. Of course, they also have some punchier flavors that are well worth a try. This company is a true local gem. -Shannon, Grocery
Hu Nut Butter Chocolates
The Hu Chocolates are some of my favorites, but I especially like their nut butter chocolates. From the almond butter to the cashew butter, they’re all delicious, and that nut butter helps take the edge off of the bitterness of dark chocolate…making a square or two a nice after meal treat. -Justin, Produce
The Deliciouser Aleppo Chili Flakes
A sweet, mild heat—delicious on pretty much anything. Particularly good on pizza, pasta, risotto, and mild vegetables like potatoes or green beans. -Isabel, Grocery
