This is my all-time favorite place to find hyper-local, organic food and handmade products, outside of a farmer's market. They carry dairy products from a farm across the street, local grains, cheeses, and bulk maple syrup from farms upstate. Beautiful bulk and produce sections. Hidden juice/smoothie bar in the back! I have watched this Co-op evolve over many years. They had some growing pains in the past (seems like any of the negative reviews are over 10 years old), but they must have taken feedback seriously, and consistently re-blossomed. They are now, again, my favorite place to find healthy food and a wonderful sense of community. Whole Foods is handy, but not cheap, and cannot compete with the amount of in-season local food available here. I love that we can have this option to support local farms, and keep our money in our regional community. read more

An absolute gem of a place. We happened upon it when in the area. For its small size it is incredible how many amazing staple items and specialty items as well as INCREDIBLE Prepared food is available there. We had breakfast and lunch both from the little home cooked take out. They carry incredible organic baked goods by Betlehem Bakery. We stocked up on a bunch of delicious baked goods including some gluten free. I could have eaten their prepared GF veggie quiche for every meal for the rest of my life. Haha. Organic, local items and produce. Kind owner. When we were there we saw a family come in with their young toddler. He immediately welcomed them and said I saved this for you! And it was a bag of unpackaged potatoes and a little empty basket on their produce shelf for him to go unpack. He was delighted and went over to do his big boy job. So cute! Everyone was very friendly. A true gem!!!!!! We will be back again when we are in the area & I won't be bringing any food with us, knowing this place is here! read more

Pretty store, appreciate the bulk items and fresh veggies. Check due dates if you don't plan on immediate consumption. Great place to stop if you're in the area. Definitely support this place! read more

A cute little store that has organic and sustainable vegetables, fruits, baked goods, some prepared foods and other grocery stores Not everyone can afford to buy better products but this place offers some coop deals that are comparable to major chains. Additionally some of their vegetables seemed also on par. So why not patronize a small business especially for those items that are similar to the big box stores? There's a smallish parking lot but I've never seen it filled up anyway. The staff is helpful and seem to care about their work. read more

I came here real quick just to grab a drink, but was surprised to see that they sold hot food and in house beverages. Service was so helpful and I ended up getting an ice coffee. Ambiance is clean and cute. read more

They have super delicious ALL Organic chicken soup that I love: really 100% organic ... not like all the others where when you read the small print on the ingredient list it turns out that the chicken meat isn't organic. Their Hot Food is pretty good too and ALL 100% organic... and lots of vegan stuff And then round it off with a delicious smoothie or juice. It's well worth a visit read more

This place is terrific. It's got a great variety of fresh and organic products. Produce comes from local farms which is great. The CO-OP also has a wide variety of natural remedies, essential oils, cosmetics and toiletries. Whenever I'm in the area I stop in for an organic juice or smooths or just some sustainable items I'm not able to find elsewhere like clean candles, truly organic fresh baked bread, essential oils (which is great in your bath for your skin and mood) or CBD chocolate bar for inflammation or days your momma warned you about. With very little access to real food in a fast food instant world, this is great place to get a good tasty hot meal of you are like me and don't spend much time in the kitchen. Love this place! read more

Hungry Hollow - They now have a juice & smoothly bar!!! - Grocery Near Me - Chestnut Ridge, New York

See all

This place is a hidden gem. They sell well priced, well organized organic and local dairy, meat and produce and bulk products like spices, nuts and grains. It's a great place to shop, it has a very chill vibe and I'm usually in and out with my weekly shop in 15 minutes. They sell baked goods from some local bakeries, like Threefold Cafe, freshly prepared foods and juices, and organic/environmentally friendly cleaning products, wellness products and skincare. A great find -- if you live in the area you should check it out. read more

If you are looking local organic sustainable food hungry hollow is a must if in the area. Easy to find and also ample parking so whether I come at lunch time or later in the day I don't have to worry. I especially enjoy this place in the summer as I frequently pop in for lunch and will eat my sandwich or salad outside by their picnic tables. Even though they are off a busier road that particular section doesn't draw a lot of traffic so it's nice and quiet and the store has a nice covering of trees behind to give you a sense of nature. I'm a big fan of their egg salad on rye with lettuce, tomatoes and sprouts. Like HUGE fan. Right when you enter the store they have pre made sandwiches and salads on the left so easy to grab. As you continue on they have soups (love when it gets chillier out) and warm sandwiches, burgers etc down on the right and their fresh produce in the back. I mainly stick to the first isle and make my way down and don't typically venture elsewhere. The store is tiny. You can't compare anywhere to a standard grocery store. But I can get my breakfast lunch and all the fruits and veggies I need. The most important thing to me is that I know the fresh food had limited mileage to get there and that is grown without pesticides antibiotics. That equals fresh and noticeably tasty. read more

Came here today for the first time- I LOVE wandering an organic/health Mart for an hour! Wide variety of good brands and products, from skincare to candles to supplements to herbs to produce to meat to baked goods, packaged goods, etc. , prices what you would expect in this kind of store, but Their monthly specials were a good deal (avocado mayo for $7). The hot bar was delicious- I had the veggie lasagna. read more

5 stars for quality for sure but the place is so small and sometimes I am afraid that I might deplete the produce inventory all by myself.!!! $$$ are very reasonable for the fabulous freshness experienced here...all the produce is organically loved. I found the store very sanitary as compered to P's visit...I guess it could be all in the timing. This week I stocked up on some fresh fruits as I am determined to make some yummie iced froshes!!! read more

I have been coming here for years, over 10 years and in all that time I have never had a bad experience. The people who work there are extremely pleasant and knowledgeable and the store itself is very organized and clean. The prepared food is AMAZING!!! I eat my lunch and dinner there as much as possible! I love the produce dept, I always prefer to buy my produce from there rather than a supermarket as I feel it is so much fresher and full of more flavor. I just live this place and rave about it to everyone I know! read more

I have loved the co-op for years- since it was about 1/2 the size it is now (and still wonderful!) and I love it even more since they built additions to it. I always feel right at home when I walk in the door, and although this may sound backwards, I feel like a kid in a candy store when I find all the little healthy goodies I can never seem to find anywhere else. My last trip I nearly squealed out loud when I saw they were selling fresh fiddle-heads in their produce section (I had recently been searching for them with no luck). I know that my wallet will be empty by the time I leave this place, but its always totally worth it! It feels great to support the local community (take a peek at all the cool event/class postings they hang near the registers!) and this is a great place to do just that! Plus they always have a great little selection of ready-to-eat items that taste even better if you take the time to eat them on the outdoor picnic tables and see all the friendly, interesting and worldly customers who come and go! :-) read more

Hello, from the student perspective! As a medical student, I am not at the point of my life where I am able to afford everything organic (sticking to the Clean15/organic DirtyDozen until I make $$). Also, it's my personal decision not to care too much about GMO (Monsanto-type business practices are despicable, but GMO goods are fine nutritionally). So, with this in mind, what do I like about this little co-op? First of all, they have fun and delicious SNACKS! They have snacks I've never seen before and it has become very fun and exciting to treat myself to a snack here every once in a while. They have interesting chips, unique drinks, and a fun little bakery section for those sweet-tooth times. It's hard to choose what to get sometimes! (Optional snack-related aside: You know how sometimes people pine for "Mexican" Coca-Cola, which is sweetened with sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup as most soft drinks are in the USA? Even with my limited budget, I do my best to avoid high fructose corn syrup for biochemistry-verified reasons, and I don't think I've seen any snacks or drinks with this ingredient. Nice!) I also like looking through their rotating CO+OP DEALS. Eco-pacs of Nature's Path cereal for $6, Santa Cruz organic juices for about $1.50, the list goes on... It's kind of fun to see what will happen to be on sale! The BULK DRY GOODS and BULK SPICES section are well-stocked in organics, clean, and definitely wallet-friendly. Sometimes I have a hard time finding a certain grain or spice from another store, but I've almost always been able to get what I wanted here (except Berbere spices but I'm okay with that). I also really love that they have a diverse offering in eco-friendly CLEANING supplies! I haven't had the chance to try it yet, but I also am very comforted that they have a HOT FOOD section where I can get some healthier prepared food, as opposed to fast food or pizza, on those days when I just can't get myself to cook/prepare something. Truly, if I went on a shopping extravaganza here, I would probably exceed my food budget for the month, but even students can enjoy the co-op by shopping smart. It's so cute in here and the people (customers and employees) are nice! If I lived in the area, I would get myself a membership to support this lovely community and expand the options of "student-pocketbook-friendly" things in the Co-op, but for now, I just hang out here when I'm nearby. read more

Hungry Hollow - Some of the delightfully delicious and unique snack offerings! Pictured: everything-flavored naan chips + cane-sugar soda enjoyed al fresco - Grocery Near Me - Chestnut Ridge, New York

Love this community grocery store! Friendly service, good selection, cooked foods, great hours. So much better than large supermarkets where half of the products contain GMO, corn syrup or unhealthy additives. Great atmosphere to shop with your children for "real" food. Nice to sit outside on a sunny day and enjoy one of there prepared foods or just have coffee. read more

I've been a customer here since it was located out of Barn on Hungry Hollow Road. That was 25 years ago and It has changed a lot since then. It's now a proper store with lots of parking and outside seating to enjoy the weather and healthy food. What sets this place apart from other health food stores is they do their homework and try to support the companies that are: Local Farm To Table Organic/Bio Dynamic Not just in it for the $ and riding the Organic Wave for profit. These days, all the big corporations want in on the Organic scene so you may think what you are buying is wonderful, but turns out it may be supporting Coca Cola Stockholders etc. Hungry Hollow takes out a lot of that guesswork so when I buy something there, I really feel like I'm supporting the local economy and the environment. It's not just about the food...which is delicious. read more

A quint, friendly spot to unwind and shop for biodynamic and locally grown produce. I recommend becoming a member--which is not mandatory, but helps keep the costs low on bulk items. This co-op is also a great little lunch spot with plenty of seating and parking. They are situated near the threefold cafe as well, so come and support this community! read more

Love this place, it is a new favorite. I have been looking up CSA's and local food producers recently and I always seem to stumble upon Hungry Hollow Co-op but never found a chance to go. Then this past weekend I went to the Union Square Greenmarket and bought the most delicious milk from Milk Thistle Farm. When I looked up that farm to find other places to buy their milk, guess where I stumbled upon yet again! You guessed it, Hungry Hollow. So I took that as an overwhelming sign that this was my kinda place and took a drive over at lunch yesterday. It was larger than I expected with a few picnic tables out front. Once I entered, I realized this is a true organic, back to the earth movement kinda place. It was much larger than other co-ops/farm stands I had been to in college, and more like a small market with a variety of products. That's when I fell in love. I bought the above mentioned Milk Thistle Farm milk, a container of beautiful multi-colored heirloom cherry tomatoes, and a few random household items that I needed. I will be back weekly for similar shopping trips. There are so many other things to mention about this place but I can't get them all across during this review. Go to their website for a great amount of information: http://www.hungryhollow.org/ and definately go visit and patronize this great homegrown business. read more

This place is a gem in a sea of mediocre choices as rockland county is no culinary leader. So Thank You Hungry Hollow. Thank you for caring about quality in source , integrity in environmental impact and doing it all in an understated way. Every town should have a store like yours! I been out of town for almost 2 weeks...really miss your black bean wraps! Ciao for now. read more

Hungry Hollow - Grocery Near Me - Chestnut Ridge, New York

I used to love this place! I used to love grabbing lunch or dinner from the back of the store. They changed kitchen management and the food selection has drastically changed (if you want to grab some hot food from the hot bar, etc.). They used to label vegan items and had so many to choose from. Now it's meat, mac n' cheese, just overall unhealthy, nonvegan stuff. The grocery component offers a great selection, but it's so expensive I have started going elsewhere as the vegan options have decreased. Obviously not everyone is looking for healthy, vegan food, but this is my personal opinion. read more

This is a lovely local store. They make delicious juices and smoothies. A convenient place to get your essentials and more. I just wish they would make gluten free wraps on request. Yet, this would not stop me from being a loyal customer read more

Stopped in this morning when visiting a client and was extremely impressed with the way their produce department was set up. Everything looked extremely fresh and was so neatly and professionally displayed. read more

I ABSOLUTELY Love this place. The people are all AMAZING and the food is "out of this world" Sometimes I eat here 2x a day. Food is always fresh, and REAL. Very knowledgeable staff eager to share. Service is always with a smile. Been coming here for several years and will continue to do so. Jeff S Spring Valley read more

This is a really nice Co op...a good variety of foods are offered here, as well as supplements. I also enjoy the kind people who work there. I only have one small peeve... sometimes the packaged salads are mislabled...I quickly picked up what was labeled a Waldorf salad, and found out later it was actually just a garden salad. Another time, I picked up a breakfast wrap , which said tomato/spinache /egg...no spinache... It was still delicious but slightly disappointed. I'm sure it's very busy in the kitchen early on. Overall, I would say that this is a great place and the neighbors are really lucky to have such a place around! read more

Great place to support. Always organic, local and fresh. I live in westchester county but have been shopping here for close to a decade. Every time Im in the area I always stop by. read more

growing up a always went shopping with my mother at the co-op, but in recent times I've realized I've become increasingly disappointed with the Co-op. The prepared food quality has gone down, with a drastic increase in price. and just today i was charged OVER $5.00 for a can of tuna fish. As a young mom, how am i supposed to support my community, if i cant afford to shop at what i once thought was the best place. until i see a change, you will not be getting my business.... read more

Hungry Hollow has such a wide variety and selection of local/non-gmo/organic products and the employees are always knowledgeable and helpful. Great selection of prepared foods as well for a quick bite! read more

I like the Co-op, but they are very unsanitary. People are allowed to sample the soup. While getting the sample, it is impossible to do with-out soup dripping down over their fingers back in the soup pot. People should not be allowed to get their own soup. I'm surprised the Health Dept. hasn't closed them down. read more

The Hungry Hollow Co-op organic food market, conveniently located on Chestnut Ridge Road in Chestnut Ridge/Spring Valley is the area's most well-stocked specialty store; featuring fresh vegetables, organic milk and meats from its own community farm and from other organic food suppliers. There is a wonderful selection of homemade soups, sandwiches, meals and breads, cooked fresh daily. The staff is delightful and knowledgeable. Whether it's a plate of hot baked flounder or a cup of cheddar broccoli soup (or both!), the Co-op is the place to go! (If you have time, visit their close-by farm. The kids will love the cute calves still weaning off of their mommies, and the proud bulls valiantly, but nicely, protecting their families!!) In the summer, there's also a pond available within walking distance that's constructed to resemble a beach; including lifeguards!! A health conscious shoppe in a family-friendly environment! Go. Today!! read more

Cool place to buy organics and also have a great selection of prepared foods. Prices are good and staff is friendly.

This is a cute little neighborhood store and the staff are very nice and helpful, but the food is tremendously overpriced in comparison with most other stores nearby. read more

I love the Co-op and the people there are terriffic except one "nervous and Jerky guy" named Skip. He walks around eating everything in sight, acting like he is really busy, but he actually doesn't do much. He gives me the creeps. I guess every group has one bad apple. Definately worth going there, just avoid "Skip" read more

My family just loves this place - the vibe, the fresh food, the cooked food. Friendly staff. Super organic selection. Local food sources.

For years i would have said a resounding 5 stars but i actually feel 3 stars at this point. We have been coming here for a long time and in the last few years watched the place change for the worse. Recently, all the familiar and excellent staff have left or been let go - we are amazed as they have always been courteous, helpful and knowledgable. The new staff is younger so it must be a question of paying less. Saving on salaries should not be an issue as customer service should be a number one priority. We are very sad to loose our friendly, sometimes daily exchanges at the store with the former staff. Also, the emphasis on healthy food has gone way downhill. They now sell cold cuts where there used to be fresh soups offered in containers. A vegan or vegetarian is faced with looked at meat based products in the same refrigerated case. Just before Thanksgiving a huge refrigerated case was introduced into the back vegetable area filled with large quartiles of meats. It used to be a place where one could go and count on numerous labeled hot vegan and vegetarian offerings with perhaps one other dish of fish or chicken. Now, it is the reverse and most of the vegan and vegetarian dishes are made with hot spices so that they are rendered almost inedible for some. We have suggested that they keep a container of hot pepper on the side so that those that prefer it can add it but to no avail. We have spent hundreds of dollars weekly in this store but might have to go elsewhere if the tone and quality of the place does not improve. We have been long time loyal members of Hungry Hollow and find these changes heart breaking. The board should rethink their priorities and resume what was once a good thing. read more
