Lovely staff and good choices of food etc. For a shop located at a large University, it?s never too packed- keep up the good work.

The biggest scam on campus. Walk up the road and find the same items for half the price ?. Also take note of the 11am rush, get in and grab what you need before then. You have been warned.

Not a large Co-Op store but has a good selection of food and drink. Recommended.

Poorly stocked and overpriced. This small coop seems like a good idea, but poorly executed. It was renovated in 2021 with the addition of larger bakery section, juice machine and hot fast food such as hot dogs. However, the shelves are often very empty reducing the already limited selection. The prices are not suitable for a student budget and seeing as this is in the centre of the White Knights campus it would make sense to be more accommodating. NUS discount is available here, as long as you have your physical card on you. Although, even with the discount (most) students will be blowing half their weeks money for food on one lunch. There is a larger alcohol section than any other section which some may find attractive, but for every day convenience it is not logical. Would not recommend if you are looking for anything gluten-free, unless you like to eat plain uncooked pasta.

It?s slightly more expensive, but perfectly located at the centre of campus.Only problem is that lately the water from the refill machine tastes quite a lot of iron.I understand that it?s free (one of the few things free on campus?), but from my biology/physiology classes I don?t think I recall water to be the main source of iron for our organism.

Rude staff accused me of lying and then apologized to me wouldn't shop again.

A convenience store on the expensive side which often has empty shelves in the food-to-go section by mid-morning. The store is also an awful layout with narrow aisles, it means people have to queue all over the place. Overall it could be better.

The best supermarket I've been to. First supermarket to practice fair trade and sustainability and amazing customer service. They have everything freshly baked at the kitchen every day, every hour.

Fairly well stocked. Nice bakery. Best croissants ever!

Great variety of products, pretty good service although it's rarely needed, and really good access and location if you're a student living on campus, or if you're just dropping in during the day. Also good if you're not a student and just want something on an open day or passing by!

Quite small isles and slightly limited selection but given the space good range of products

Convinient shop for students who live at the campus and don't want to go further for essential shopping

it's open after the couple of months they closed for expansion.Happily thats completed and they are open again and there are now 2 bakery sections and an orange juice machine.Prices are still in line with the "a student and their money are soon parted" philosophy, so nothings changed there.
