I LOVE GROCERY STORES AND RAINBOW ACRES IS THE BEST ONE I'VE EVER BEEN TO!!! I absolutely love…read moreexploring grocery stores; each and every one is unique, has different deals, a different aesthetic, and select food. I like to walk around in them for fun all the time. So... take my review seriously!!! I tried almost all their food and can give a detailed rundown on each one. They have amazing, amazing, amazing food made with love here and employees that are incredibly kind and funny. They're welcoming and you can tell they really enjoy working at Rainbow Acres and want to spread good vibes. Their food is made in house, from scratch, exactly what it is. No food dyes or processing. Just fresh, straightforward food for a good price. RAINBOW ACRES MADE ME SHED A TEAR. I was so incredibly ecstatic to find an healthy, grocery CO-OP near me. The smoothies are great, they sometimes have samples. They're all delicious and they also can be paid with EBT. Their guac and chips was actually the best I've ever had from a grocery store. The guacamole had enough salt and lime, like... whole foods and chipotle guac was PUT TO SHAME. Well-seasoned, super chunky, cilantro, red onion, tomato, mmm, and those chips were actually fresh tortilla chips. So crunchy and light. So yum. God. Their sandwich was insane. Slices and heaps of chicken breast for double the price of a sprouts sandwich and quadruple times more tasty. Don't second guess it, just get it!!! BBQ chicken and ranch salad was insane. I ate it in like 10 mins and my stomach was bulging. When you see it, it will be irresistible. The grilled chicken is marinated and covered in a sweet bbq sauce and their housemade ranch is seasoned deeply, comparable to wingstop's ranch. Crunchy lil tortilla chips and crunchy salad with some roasted corn. Every single thing in that plate had its own flavor, unlike the prepackaged slop at other stores. However, it was close to $20... The fruit tart was FRESH and yummy, a tad sweet, but all the fruit was incredibly quality. The crust left a little to be desired, but great nonetheless. Their hot deli food is great too. We got a parm crusted chicken breast and it was very juicy and flavorful. The samples were great, even their curry is packed with flavor. Their turkey chili was insanely hearty and delicious, thankfully not too salty. chili mango is the best my boyfriend claims he's ever had. immense selection of unique canned and bottled drinks. They make their own green smoothies and juices in glass bottles, but there's also local branded magnesium teas, adaptogens, sparkling waters, etc. LOTS AND LOTS of vegan options. Great selection of teas and medicinal herbs and pure oils meant for the skin. I picked up some grapeseed oil and snacks. Some of the prices here are cheaper than whole foods, but some are more expensive. I really love Rainbow Acres, but some of their prices can be expensive. However, when factoring in the quality, freshness, and how the food is SIMPLE AND CLEAN AND HOPEFULLY AS ETHICAL AS IT CAN BE, it justifies the prices. The employees are always helpful, so it does help to imagine that the higher prices go to them as well. I'm really happy that this place exists. It's not pretentious and makes clean eating accessible for anyone.

I'm really disappointed writing this because I've been a regular here for a long time. I live down…read morethe street and walk to Rainbow Acres almost every day to get the same thing, Chinese chicken salad plus whatever else I need. It's been part of my routine, and I've always trusted the quality. Unfortunately, my last visit completely changed that. I found a dead fly in my salad, which was honestly so disgusting and upsetting. It's hard to overlook something like that, especially from a place I come to so often and rely on. What made the experience even more frustrating is that I reached out through the online contact/question form and never heard back from anyone. A response or acknowledgment would have gone a long way. Because of this experience, I don't feel comfortable coming back. It's really disappointing, but finding something like that in my food is something I just can't get past.

*** 2025 review #18 ***…read more It is with a very heavy heart and immense sadness that I write this updated review... I had hoped that this store would improve given time and all my feedback to management. Alas, it's a lost cause. My neighborhood store, that I avoid coming in at all cost due to rude and hostile employee attitude in produce section section, couldn't-care-less attitude of the employees behind the meat counter, etc. I believe management that I've spoken with regarding recurring issues that I have experienced as a regular weekly shopper do their best but they have no control over employees' attitude. Anyways. I'd rather frequent my neighborhood TJ's and Sprouts where I get friendly treatment and don't get bullied by WF employee-that-shall-remain-unnamed. Just my 2 cents.

First off, tell me one grocery store that delivers at nearly midnight? Delivery people are always super friendly, order is always accurate. They used to come in a half-hour. I understand they are busier now, so it may be an hour or more, but big-deal. If you can't wait that long, go drive your butt to the store. The downsides are that they are small, so you might not find the exact brand you want. Sometimes they run out of items, even though the website says it is in stock. But at least they call and warn you and ask if you want a replacement. The biggest downside I have found is the produce section. In general I won't buy produce from Yummy. Sorry. I get the best pairs (which is odd, I had given up on finding good pairs) Zucchini and bananas have been alright, but everything else has either had bad spots or has just not been fresh/good. They definitely could use a complete overhaul of the produce. They make the BEST fresh brownies though. And the mixed cut-up fruit is expensive but worth it.

After our most recent order had not one edible vegetable or herb in it, my wife called to ask why. When she asked if this was a "treatlerite" backlash, the employee laughed. My wife has a disability and the service this business prides itself on was appealing to us. But it's clear they resent providing it. This is either the employees functioning within their directives or against their directives. So to Barnaby Montgomery CEO - you have a LinkedIn invite from me. I look forward to your response.

The produce manager RICARDO was fantastic. He gave me samples of some new produce they had and introduced me to watermelon plums -- I think it's a new variation? Whatever it was, they were fantastic and I never would've tried them by myself so I was so glad Ricardo introduced me to them. I immediately bought a pack because they were so good. Long story short everything I wanted from this experience I got. I really love fruits and vegetables so having a manager help with that process and introduce me to new types of produce was great and honestly a nice touch-- it reminded me of a local market feel as opposed to a superstore chain. I'll definitely be back for my produce every week!

They have so many healthy options, and today I went with the Tropical Banana Freeze smoothie, it was so good, fresh I wish I would have upsized to a large. The ambience is amazing, warm, welcoming, and full of good energy. I also got to meet the owner, which was such a beautiful moment because my dad has known him for over 40 years. That made the visit feel even more special. I also picked up some CKLS and chlorophyll, CKLS is really hard to find, so if anyone is looking for it, Simply Wholesome is where you need to be! Even though I didn't get any food I love their turkey tacos, turkey burger, and fries! The food is always good, and the service is consistently amazing. Everyone is so kind and helpful. This is definitely a Los Angeles staple and somewhere you should visit if you're in the area.

This is a funny grocery store. The co-op is a Santa Monica institution from the old days when the…read moreneighborhood had strong community values, although it's always been expensive and a class statement to shop here. It's usually been an older crowd that's wanted whatever health products were popular 10-20 years ago. At one point during the late 90's and early 00's, it was tremendously popular with the celebrity class of LA, and it was Erewhon before there was Erewhon. It has since drifted into a more relaxed, slightly frumpier incarnation now in 2026. As you can see from all the 1 and 5 star reviews, it's a place that inspires both stubborn loyalty and intense frustration in equal measure, and I think that about sums up experience for the uninitiated. You'll see that I've split the difference with this 3 star review in an attempt to capture reality. This is far from a perfect grocery store -- the prices are high, a lot of the produce is not looking so good, the milk is always about to expire, the aisles are poorly organized, they're missing lots of things you want. But it's also a real co-op and not a chain, it's possible to eat healthfully from here, and they are extremely responsive to their member's (numerously and frequently delusional and extremely SaMo) requests. The angry reviews about bad service here are overblown; I've been here dozens of times and never had a problem. And as long as it's member-owned, it can always change for the better very quickly, which I've seen happen here before, and may happen again. Personally, my reason for not shopping here is just the poor organization of the store overall, selection of dry goods which are widely second-rate to me, and shabby, soon-to-be-expiring produce and perishables attached to a luxury price. I see no reason to shop here when I have the SaMo farmer's market AND better organized specialty stores like Erehwon or McCall's right near by -- which are, despite what numerous reviews here desperately proclaim, the exact same price point as Co-Opportunity. I hope this clears up why the reviews here are all-over-the-place, it's because the store is too!
