Food scene
A Fayetteville staple, the CoOp was started in 1971 (Gabe's dad is in the middle with the apron at the grand opening!) and recently moved into a beautiful new building. Less than a 10 minute walk away, the CoOp is the perfect place for a small grocery run or to enjoy a coffee or beer on their expansive outdoor patio! They also have pizza by the slice and great breakfast sandwiches.
