Manly Food Co-operative

Love this shop , During the public orders I had Exemption not to wear a mask.I showed the staff a copy of my exemption and were still happy to look after me.I also work in Disability services , I know not all Disabilities or Medical conditions were included in a Exemption guidelines and was actually hard to get one, as it had to be done by Medical specialist or Disability provider. The rules actually changed in Middle of the orders as people with no disability or Medical disorders were abusing the exemption rules.So if people had Exemption it would of been easier to show a copy of it, I understand this can make people feel uncomfortable about publicity disclosing this information, but the staff were lovely by being discreet about it and my privacy was respected.I also know Businesses could ask to see the exemption and its consumers right to refuse not show it.But under the under the Work,Health and Safety Act , businesses could refuse you entering.The Coop were only following the Public Health orders like very other business to prevent being shut down and fined.

So tidy. Reused empty bottles were ready to use. Lots of spicy, granola and so on. Envy that they have this kind of store.

Sustainable shopping indeed, not only without single use plastic container, but also their organic products being good to the soil.I bought millet, coconut oil and milk powder and etc from the shop, the quality is so good and they smell beautiful.

Just so grateful that you guys still keeping the store open to serve us and support so many other small business that deal with you from the growers and producers end. It is again challenging time for us all and you are doing an amazing job for our wide community!! And keeping everything sterilize and safe for us to feel comfortable. Thank you!!

I love this shop. I have been shopping here for years. The choice of products is great, fruit and veggies always fresh and an amazing range of grains and nuts. Plus, so easy to shop waste-free and very friendly staff

The best shop in Manly. More than a shop, it's a great community. Not-for-profit, organic food and no plastic: better for your wallet, for your health and for the world. I can't believe people post bad reviews for the mask rules...

Best waste-free shopping experience on the Northern Beaches. The prices for their organic produce are often lower than expected. Opening hours to suit people coming off the ferry after work, and their new ‘Grab & Go’ pre-filled jars save time, too. To top it all, they source products locally where possible. Car park right underneath. Easy as.

This is such a great shop. Lots of fab products - including fresh organic milk that goes in byo bottles. I love avoiding packaging and supporting a community business.

Great find. I'm going to bring my containers back next week and do some shopping. I also like that money is going to locals rather than the big guys.

We absolutely LOVE our local Manly Coop. Staff are always so friendly and helpful, and as we are in the midst of lockdown the Coop have always ensured the safety and health of their customers and staff by adhering to Covid safe measures (thank you!!) I know when we are shopping at the Coop, we are not only supporting a small local business but a community that shares the same values as us when it comes to shopping local and also plastic free. Love all the handmade soaps, fresh bread, local coffee ... everything they source is top quality.
