I love this place. They made a cake for my daughters first birthday. They customized it to have no sugar, but sweetened with maple syrup. The people working here are always friendly. The prices are also very reasonable. I just wish I lived closer. I would do all of my grocery shopping here.

VERY knowledgeable staff...also eager to assist. There are always employees and volunteers available everywhere. Fantastic bulk items, including gluten free .

Interesting selection of goods, not the cheapest but nice veggies in the middle of winter. Bulk foods ppl are super nice. Some checkout clerks could do better with customer service.

My family buys bulk nutritional yeast at Honest Weight because the price is good and we use a lot of it! I go to HW for special items and produce when I need it to be extra fresh and tasty. I bought Brussels sprouts for Thanksgiving and they came out perfectly.

Clean great variety of healthy foods good place to get bulk items and fresh food it helps a lot with trying to live less waste buying in bulk. The staff is friendly there and you can earn coins for charity of your choice in the box at the door. Kids love picking the charity box. Fresh flowers plants and pumpkins.

I love Honest Weight. It has a great selection of healthy and organic food. Every aisle is well organized so you can easily find what you need. They have an area where you can buy coffee and food to go, including a salad bar and a choice of three soups. There are many vegan and vegetarian selections available in the aisles and in the to go section. They also have an area with books, magazines, and organic health and beauty products.

I absolutely adore Honest Weight. Its a store that aligns with my values and has just about everything I need. Products are a bit pricey unless you buy in bulk. The bulk spices are so affordable, and they have almost every spice you can think of!

The house made curry chicken salad is worth the trip. We like to pick up the chicken salad, a baguette, a few small cheeses, an apple or two, a bottle of Nine Pin Belgium cider... Perfect picnic for Oct 2020 power outage. Cheese selection is one of the best in area, with lots of crackers, fruit/fig spreads to go with.

A great grocery store, with endless variety and best of all, you can bring your own (clean) containers so you dont have to generate ever more plastic into our oceans and landfills! Lots of local produce, nuts, flours, teas, meats... Who knew so much variety is available from local producers! Thats why everythings fresh here. Oh, and the stuff from afar? (coffee, chocolate, bananas, etc): fair trade.

Love the coop. The bulk section is phenomenal.I wish their staff directed customers more to follow COVID rules.

Flour and some products are cheaper there for better quality, while others are more expensive. Some items that save me money are only available at there stores. Yogurt, and several other products are ultimately cheaper there, and on top of that its a better product.

The parking lot can be a bloodsport. But the selection of artisanal soaps, and bulk items (including loose spices) is totally worth risking some blood stains on your baja hoodie, while you beat someone to half to death with their birkenstock over them parking their Chrysler 300 with Missouri license plates in an EV charging spot. And the staff are super friendly!

Less absent minded cashiers please with an element or ability to perform their job quickly.

Great place if your into consumption of organic grocery items. They also have conventional produce as well. Watch for great sales as well. Bulk foods, hot and cold lunch items. Grass fed meats, wild seafood items and micro brews. Whew, the list goes on. If you favor healthy eating with seasonal produce from local farmers its a great place to stop.

Its the best place for produce, bulk foods, and anything healthy. If you like wholesome foods... and some treats... Definitely give this store a try!

Wonderful atmosphere. Pretty much any health product you are looking for is here

The best overall food selection around. Great mix of conventional and unique.

Great selection of high-quality foods and a huge bulk section!

Great variety of healthy foods fruits and daily detoxification choices.

This is a great find in the Capital region! I was directed to this store in my search for a Vegan Turkey this Thanksgiving, and this place is an absolute delight for anyone serious about cooking. They have Grana Padano, which I could not find at other speciality stores.The only problem is their checkout folks. From the bulk products, I had some lasagna sheets, and the sleepy/high checkout person entered the code wrong and charged me for Alaskan sea weed. I did not check it at the store but then I came home to find that the lasagna was $43!! Had to make the trip back and they corrected it, but should not have happened. The store clerk could probably see that it wasnt seaweed but lasagna, but he turned a blind eye to it. That has put a spanner into the works.I will return, but only occasionally and will keep an eagle eye for what they charge me for.

Great place. Lots of plant based products.

Staff are really friendly and there are lots of vegan options!

Love this place.Just a quick trip today,but I will go back for more products.

Everyone is always so friendly and knowledgeable! If they dont know, theyll find someone who does! I always find something I didnt come for! I love that they have bulk items. Saves me from buying a 5lb bag of something Ill use 2 tbsp of!

Probably the best grocery store Ive ever been to. Massive selection of dry goods, beer, preprepped foods, peanut butter grinder, fresh tofu, cheeses and tons of good meat choices.

First time checking it out -- has a great selection, absolutely needed in Albany. Nice selection of quality plants outside like succulents and peppers.

Great grocery, amazing products and nice people.

Many organic products and items you dont find in major grocery stores.. Big bulk section. Love their in-store made salads. Some things are pricey but you pay for quality.

You dont go here to be frugal. You go here to buy top quality items and local items. Great selection.

Wonderful place to shop. Freshest produce Ive seen. Many brands that cant be brought anywhere else. Always worth the trip.

Friendly and helpful staff. Very informed. Store is unique and kinda fun.

Many healthy options. Employees are very helpful

Employees in the store are very rude and they are not willing to assist you in finding items that you are looking for my first visit to this store and it is definitely my last

Co-op!! Lots of good stuff. Nice staff.

Hypnotically caucasian. Overpriced. Stuffy. Lots of Karens. Nice toiletries. Should be more accessible, especially in regards to its location.

Great selection and can bring personal containers for bulk goods

Best store selection of organic food in the region.

A wonderful shopping experience, loads of excellent produce, bulk foods, pantry and health and beauty that are conscientiously sources and chosen. Staff and volunteers are friendly, courteous and so helpful. Best store in the Capital District

Great selection of local produce, meat, nuts, grains, cheeses, eggs, etc. The bulk selection is excellent! I always find what I need here and everyone is always very friendly.

The older African American cashier with a buzz cut and glasses who was working Monday evening could definitely use some improvement with customer service, nobody wants to drop over a hundred dollars on a dozen items to be greeted with her stank attitude but luckily a lot of the other staff makes up for her.

This is a great place, but it aint easy on the wallet, let me tell you...Id rather spend my dough here, however, getting high quality healthful nourishment, than at the hospital later!Tremendous selection - foods, cooking tools, clothing. Its come a long way since its humble Lark Street beginnings!

This is a very nice local health food store in Albany. When you enter into the store you see the lovely produce area filled with great veggies and plants. They do have a bulk area, I believe. There is an nice deli inside if you are hungry and a seating area to eat. You really do get the feeling of community inside.

Ethical, healthy, local, community-oriented. Member-owned. Amazing organization.

Great store, great variety. Friendly employees willing to help you find what you need and an efficient, cleanly system for limiting the number of customers in the store during this covid situation. The security guard keeping track of the number of customers coming in was a particularly bright and welcoming person️. I will be coming here often.

Great place to get great food staying healthy is the key

Honest Weight is a no-brainer if you want to eat well and eat healthy! I love the place and I highly recommend it to anyone!

Bustling store filled with unique food! Delicious sandwiches at the deli and vegan burritos on the hot bar. The soup and rolls are divine. We stock up on their blocks of tofu and love to try something new each visit. And if you need a vegan or gluten free cake, you HAVE to order one from Honest Weight. The bakery is amazing!

Fresh. Organic. Local. Variety. Fun. And the kids love their bulk foods area..they love trying new things and I like being able to buy a few ounces of a snack..just in case they hate it..which happens, lol. Husband loves the bulk spices area. Great selection of coffee and tea. Wellness area is AMAZING. While I do love Whole Foods...Honest Weight has em beat...

Moving towards a vegan lifestyle is one of the most difficult decisions Ive ever had to make. Honest Weight helps with the vegan lifestyle by providing vegan and vegetarian foods and drinks. Ive never seen so many healthier options in a grocery store my life (aside from Whole Foods in which I never shopped). This is because I lived in urban neighborhoods where choosing a healthy lifestyle is very rare. The prices are reasonable to a little steep depending on what you are getting. The food that you can measure out such as grains, nuts, coffee, etc are very steep per lb. But there are cheaper options without sacrificing quality.

Great selection and super friendly staff.

This was my first time here and it was great experience. So many options for any diet. They also had seeded watermelon!!! Looking forward to returning.

Its our homegrown member owned grocery store! Knowledgeable, well-intentioned individuals working in a cooperative manner to bring sustainably produced healthy food to the local community.

If youre transitioning into healthy eating and lifestyle, its the place. Organic foods to rogqnice products

Ive always wanted to go to a bulk store and I was amazed by how many items there were. Many items in the store were a bit pricey for me, but most of the bulk items were very reasonable and I loved that I could choose the exact amount I wanted. I tried a bunch of different salts. Im not from this area so I didnt buy any groceries, but they had many options for vegans, meat eaters, and everything in between. Many groceries, prepared foods, baked goods, plus the food and drinks at the cafe and a great selection of household products.I didnt buy the pie, but it was very cute.

Love it. Grocery store with every healthy natural products. They also offer free classes during the week, weekends and through the month. Even many catered for children. If your a healthy eater, hair, lotion or soap maker etc... go here! It is quite expensive for natursl product but it is everywhere.

You can buy any amount of spices, therefore I always have fresh spices at home

Good, healthy food. I miss the samples.

The quality of Honest Weights vegan options is great. Which is why I found myself there on a Sunday afternoon - looking for almond milk ricotta. However, Im starting to rethink my patronage after me & my 8 yo daughter were treated w/ passive aggressive rudeness at the checkout. And while this is the 1st time this has happened to me, its not the 1st time Ive witnessed it.

A bit pricey, but I LOVE their pastries and pre-made foods! They are also the only place in the area (to my knowledge) that offer such a large selection of bulk foods.

Really nice first time experience

Great Co-op. Best Ever!

I cant wait to return

When you need something obscure, organic or normal honest weight generally has a version of it. I typically go there for the bulk spices and cheeses. The produce tends to follow the farmers seasons more closely than a traditional grocery. So if you want something off season it isnt as fresh but if you get something during season then it is great. As far as price it can be really expensive but if you become a member it is on par with whole foods and if you are a member worker then it is as if not more cheaper than the traditional stores

My favorite co-op in the area. They have really expanded their store and all the great things that they sell! I have been coming to this store since 1976, when they were on Quail Street. Then they moved to Central Avenue for quite awhile before building the new store, which is near the highway, larger, and better parking. I enjoy every trip here.

Gorgeous coop with all the yums.

Great unique products, high quality, fresh produce and always friendly customer service!

AMAZING bulk section (flours galore, spices galore, pasta, honeys, vinegars, oils, nut/seed butters, tofu, and more) and an impressive selection of vegan baked goods! Go here if youre in the area!!

Absolutely incredible. Friendly staff. COVID compliant. Will certainly be returning.

Really cool alternative to shopping at a place like Whole Foods.They’ve got your everyday produce, meat, dairy, etc but they’ve also got a ton of unique and specialty products that you’d have trouble finding elsewhere. Very good beer selection too, which I was impressed with.Only downside is the cost. This is not a cheap store to shop in, and if you want, say, cajun cashews, you’re gonna pay a lot of damn money for them.Definitely worth checking out often, it just may not be your weekly spot for full groceries.

This place is awesome. Just there bulk section alone should make you want to drop you traditional grocer. Their meat is a little more expensive but that comes with quality.

Able to get Samis bread there as well as other specialty items...

Cresh food dinner was amazing!!

An excellent selection of bulk, prepared, and packaged foods for the natural and health minded. I am a member of the the coop and find it amazing.

Nice place , you can find anything .. The prices sre little bit out of my reach !!!

Best grocery store in the capital region. Its a community!

I love this store so much. They always have the local products and the service people are so helpful. The amount of options they have is amazing. I wish it was closer.

Best healthy food store around.

Although you’ll be hard pressed to leave HWC with your pocketbook in tact—the quality and selection of their produce and bulk food is the highest I’ve found at an upstate grocery store, and you’ll pay (fairly and squarely) for this—shopping here is a pleasure, one in which I’ve routinely discovered new foods I didn’t even know I wanted: odd dried kelps, obscure root vegetables, dehydrated bulk favas, and so on. Several months into the covid pandemic, I miss these happenstance discoveries while on the shopping floor, but I am also so grateful to the staff at HWC who have stepped up to shop for the immunocompromised (and whomever requests a curbside pickup), which has meant I haven’t stepped foot in the store since February. Thank you guys.

This store is great. Wonderful produce. Large selection of non-dairy alternatives. Dry goods, grains, herbs, coffee, etc by weight. Grocery store health food store, with plants all in one. Too much to describe

Very good everyone meaning customets and staff respectful or social distancing and still good selections of food

This place has the best healthy food in Albany. Its clean and the staff know their products. Its worth the money!

Grass is greener on the other side

This place is wonderful. So many healthy options. I personally love the bulk foods section, and the milk/milk alternatives are amazing! Pretty good sales and 8% off for students on sundays!

I love this store. The people who work here are always super friendly and will go out of their way to help you. Theres a great variety of items you just wont find in a regular grocery store. Whether youre a meat eater or vegan, youll find plenty of options. They have a large number of delicious soups. I especially like their split pea. They have great cheese section and usually have several cheeses out for tasting. This is the only place in the area to carry items from Samis Bakery, which has low carb bread and low carb lavash. The bread isnt bad, but the lavash is excellent. A lot of organic items as well. You can even get a meal there.

Errors are made at check-out, quite often, and not in the customers favor. For example, items that are on sale dont ring up that way. Check your receipts! Also, cashiers are often on their smartphones while working.

If youre looking for organic food, cheese, beer, bread, bulk spices, etc., this is the best in the capital district. You can also get a great sandwich, delicious and healthy prepared foods and even play D&D on Friday nights!

Organized store with a good variety of foods for vegans/vegetarians for the deli. I enjoyed the black bean walnut burger. And gotta love the nine pin cider

This is the BEST grocery store in the entire region, hands down. Absolutely NOTHING else compares! Their all-natural/ organic daily buffet is delicious, unique, and fresh. The vendors that the store works with are local first, organic, and energy conscious, which takes all the guess work out of shopping for the safest brand of foods, as opposed to shopping somewhere like Whole Foods where many unsafe ingredients are simply hidden under different names. The staff and volunteers are super friendly and helpful at Honest Weight. This grocery store has everything you would ever need-- I almost never have a need to go to another store.

They have a great bulk foods section. Kombucha bar. Bakery and prepared foods rock. Best place to shop!

Cool that they have reusable jars for different ingredients

Love this place a little expensive!!! Good beer selection!!!

Surprisingly, Honest Weight did not accommodate my service dog! My 16 pound dog rides in the baby seat (covered with a clean blanket) of a shopping cart. My dog is considered hypoallergenic and is well groomed. She is certainly cleaner than some diapers that might have contact with a shopping cart baby seat and she is on a blanket! Beyond my qualifying disability, I recently had major surgery and cannot lift my dog. Logic would bring about an exception to the store policy for this small animal so I could shop. I was shocked at the way I was treated! I have no choice but to switch to Whole Foods and Trader Joes. I tried my best to remain loyal to Honest Weight after their move. Sadly, in my opinion, they just hit a new low in morality. I took your advice and spoke with Stephen. He said he would get back to me in a few days and he did not get back to me.

Unsanitary and expensive. The workers and shoppers often have awful body odor. The buffet and deli are horribly cross contaminated. The hot food is cooked by people who dont know how to cook so its not very good. I am glad they provide healthy options but the place sucks and they rake in obscene amounts of money.

Too many elderly clogging up the aisles and stocking really slowly. Half the shelves are empty. Maybe we can find something else for these old people to do? Covid-19 is a thing.

It is great for my gluten free allergies and for many wanting to eat organic and lots of allergen free stuff! I love their bakery! I took away stars bc the place is still too expensive! A membership is too expensive for someone low income! They need to have gluten free wraps for the pre made sandwiches on the shelf to grab and go!

The produce is the best & freshest Ive had in Albany. Most of the bulk products are well-priced. They also have many EV charging stations.

Great store. Everything you want in organics!

Great produce and bulk sections. Such an amazing selection of product

Love to shop here

Nice place. I like the old one.
