Central Co-op Food - Market Street, Bakewell in Derbyshire Dales

It's ok the same as other Co-op stores

I’ve been to Bakewell several times, and never even knew this was here. I stumbled across it whilst wandering around town waiting for the bus But it has everything you need after a long day hiking. It’s big enough you could do your weekly shop here. I went around 6pm on a thursday night, and it was mostly empty So if you want to pick up supplies before going hiking, or want something to eat or drink after a long day hiking, this place will have pretty much anything you’d need

Excellent choice of food. I never knew you coukd buy Staffordshire and Cheddleton Cheese. Oatcakes can not only be found in Staffordshire, this Co-op sells Derbyshire Oatcakes, you learn something new every day.

This is the only big supermarket of Bakewell. Big team of staff, helpful and friendly. Shelves full of stock. Clean and tidy store. There’s a big cafe inside as well. nice seating area so you can have breakfast or lunch. Perfect central location and just close to river.

One of the best Co-op shops I have been to. A good selection of products and friendly staff.

Large store however it is cramped and not laid out well. The queueing area is not clearly marked which leads to queues blocking the paths through the store. Staff member at the tobacco / fast track counter had horrific customer service. As soon as my husband put our items on the counter (only non restricted items, a juice, a coffee and a sandwich) and greeted her politely she immediately demanded to see his ID. She then spent a long time looking between his picture and him as if trying to find something wrong with this. Only after this did he ask for cigarettes. She then asked me for my ID just for standing next to him even though I was not the one buying it. She refused to serve my husband then as I did not carry my ID and did not care when we pointed out that my husband was well of age and we were married. My husband and I are both clearly over the age of 30. At this point we just left without buying anything.

Lovely large town store with a good selection of local produce.

Modern large store with good range of products. Not easy to pay though with only a couple of manned tills.

Good range at decent prices, but you need the local Coop card rather than the national one

The Co-operative in Bakewell is a lovely store with a great selection of quality products. I particularly recommend the Cook range of frozen meals. The only downside is that the produce shelving can be a little bare at times. Otherwise, it's a reliable spot for groceries.

Definitely the best (and one of the biggest) Co-op stores I’ve ever visited! Excellent selection of products including deli and food/drink to go. Really like the store design and layout.

Terrible, no 4G data service and no shop WiFi either, so no Google pay or Apple pay at the checkouts! I'm guessing this is a modern store, so why WiFi in store!?

Good range of fresh produce, well lit & displayed. Helpful staff.

Lovely supermarket. Very clean and super efficient. No complaints!

Venturing into the Co-op in Bakewell, nestled in the heart of the Peak District, I embarked on a quest of utmost importance: to procure cream for the sacred Bakewell puddings and a rubber to erase the overzealous detective work in my murder mystery puzzle book. Expectations were not just met, but gloriously surpassed. Navigating the aisles, I found my treasures with ease, a testament to the Co-op's unexpected enchantment. But the real plot twist awaited by the exit—a veritable Narnia of drinks machines that would make even the most stoic of shoppers giddy. From Reese's peanut hot chocolate that whispered sweet nothings to my soul, to soft yogurt dispensers that promised a creamy utopia, it was a finale grander than any detective's revelation. This Co-op was not the usual suspect; it was the best I've ever encountered, transforming a mundane shopping trip into an adventure as satisfying as solving the final clue in a whodunit. In the often underwhelming world of supermarket visits, this Co-op in Bakewell was a plot twist I didn't see coming, leaving me both impressed and slightly in awe of its beverage dispensing prowess. Five stars for the cream, the eraser, and the unexpected joy of drink machines that serve more plot twists than my puzzle book.

Myself and my husband are big fans of coop generally. Great produce and good prices. However coop in Bakewell has been a big disappointment. Without fail there are no baskets on the racks coming into the shop from the car park area. You have to go hunting them out from in front of the tills. If you are shopping outside of busy hours and have to use the kiosk during these times, the staff are rude and unfriendly with merely a grunt and point to which till is in service. This has been our experience 3 times that we have been in there. We will shop elsewhere whenever possible in future.

Nice coffee and a pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff!

When I went here there were few staff, a very long wait for the till. Not impressed and you have to pay to park. Pretty poor experience overall.

I don't appreciate going to co-op just to hear a member of staff very loudly complaining about how young people are all are lazy and pathetic and insinuating how mental health issues aren't real. Disgusting behaviour when we are living in a cost of living crisis and so many people especially young people and students are struggling massively to survive. Tell your staff to keep their bigoted opinions to themself 🩷

There is a good cafe inside mainly drinks and snacks. Shop is well stocked and plenty of brand names self service checkout And staff very helpful and friendly

Perfect standards, a lovely store all round with excellent customer service and store standards

Cafe has the best coffee and cake

Not bad shop, friendly staff. Nice cafe, only issue is that it's colder in the cafe than outside.

Very expensive and limited choice of product. Lots of empty spaces on the shelves nowadays. Excellent staff though

Reasonable food prices in the cafe

Good experience well stocked very well laid out very competitive prices staff very helpful and friendly well done Co_op recommend.

Friendly staff, car park behind store. Decent range.

Nice coop. And Nice coffee shop

Staying locally and had everything required including Cook products

Nice cup of tea ,very comfortable coffee bar and very accessible

We thought it was a good store plenty of choice. We were only visiting and if we lived nearby would certainly be regular customers.

Excellent Co-op a very good range of goods including good free from section, I was a bit confused by the layout but I think that is because there is so much in there. No instructions on the coffee machine meant I didn't get one as I hate asking!

Great selection of food, drinks, pastries,chocolates confectionery etc.. Great little cafe very polite and helpful staff.good choice of drinks and cakes at affordable prices..

What a lovely Co-op. Lots of things on offer and some lovely aisles of local produce and plenty to keep you happy. Will definitely be back 😍

Loveley bright store. The Cafe is great too loveley Coffee and Cake. Very relaxed place.

Always clean and well- stocked. Friendly staff too.

Lovely little coop. Like the cafe if a little expensive. But mo worse than anywhere else.

Great store comparing to other UK supermarkets

Nice Co-op, the cafe has a free toilet and the coffee was not bad at all, I recommend.

Big shop with lots of choices and surprisingly for a Co-op it's not expensive either

A good general store with most things available.

Has a café, with toilet. Sells a wide variety of essentials, clean and spacious. Wide variety of sandwiches/snacks to go. Self checkout.

Typical cafe food and service great

I love this store! All the goods are cheaper than Sheffield!! I bought many things there, from fishes, prawns, even flower and umbrella!! Cuz everything is so cheap!!😊😊 And I love the service of staff! He was soo patient to me. Many times the machine was showing wrong price and I called him many times. But he was always nice. And even he told me not to buy the banana that is spoiled already. He put it back at its place. I forgot his name but he deserves a raise!😊 Also you can go to toilet that is located at cafe of the coop and you can go to the lake that is just 100 meters. This is my new fav place.

It was ok but not enough staff manning the tills so had a lady right behind me who had a face like a bag of mashed crabs moaning her head off

Great place to shop. Many items you can't get anywhere else in any other co-operative. Many deals too.

Por mucho el mejor supermercado en Blakwel. Fui a los otros dos y el surtido era pobre.

Wow, this is the biggest co op I've ever seen. There's loads of choice, even a small clothes section. The store was well laid out and easy to find things. Everything was well stocked and the staff were very friendly!

Wow! Got to be the best in the UK!

Well stocked shop, clean and tidy. Prices seem to be a tad higher than big city Co-ops, but I suppose it's the same as the rest of Bakewell. All shops are pricey.

The co op is so much nicer since its face-lift. Just feels more up market and with it. It can't compete with Aldi, so it sells other, different stuff which means I go in when I want something that Aldi don't have. I like the posh, frozen cook at home range, and I like their fresh pastries. I used to dread going in there, because it was so old fashioned but now I like it.

Good country town supermarket and cafe

Open late, easy to park, and sells all you need, including clothes

Proper Bakewell supermarket. Massively changed from ten or 15 years ago but still gives a flavour of Bakewell's demographic.

Lots on offer in a fantastic town

A really nice Co-op with a great selection and friendly staff

Terrible service at check out very rude staff. Not much stock

Went for an adventure day long bike ride that started and ended at coop. Nice coffee shop inside with a great selection of cakes and pastries. Finished the ride late in the evening and pleased to see the store was open. Lovely selection of meal deal offers that went down well.

Well stocked reasonable prices clean and bright.

Biggest Co-Op around here - very good supermarket with a broad range. Haven't tried the new cafe yet.

Everything you could possibly need. Well stocked, clean, lots of extras, and they reduce food waste with 2good2go.

Poshest co-op in Britain? Expensive with a cafe in it and the only co-op I know that sells clothes?

Very good store most things available

Ita Co-op!! Nice selection, but some of the shelves seemed empty and dome missing products that can be gound in other stores. Good location, but no free short-term parking near to the store.

Good coffee, nice atmosphere, close to the Monday market

It's a nice enough co-op bread n stuff

Relaxed feel, better than wakefield co-op where they got GPS tracking on the sirloin

Far nicer than our local CoOp with local products available

Clean, in store coffee shop, friendly none intrusive staff(they dnt bug you when you are walking around but feels like they are happy to help when you ask). It's on my work commute and opens at 8am on the dot. Really happy with the experience here so fair compared with some less well managed stores.

Stopped there for a coffee it was good experience

Wow! This has to be the best Co-ops I have ever been in. Lovely cafe. Shelves well stocked great choices. Brilliant wine area. So we'll layed out.

Good Coop with other concessions inside.

The cafe inside is okay the shop with most things have increased ,but very friendly helpful staff

It's a nice a nice supermarket good choice of food , drink it's not cheep

Brilliantly stocked, lots of choices, quick queue and a place for my mum to have a sit down. Only knocking off one star due to the fact it was really rather dark, but given the cost of electricity I'm not surprised they want to keep some lights off

I loved it, so many delicious things, a bot pricy though

Food products are always good & the new coffee shop is a bonus although on last visit toilets were out of use & coffee shop staff were not interested or even bothered in putting out of order on the toilet doors. More interested in checking their mobile phones

Situated inside the co-op is a coffee shop called Insomnia, which is part of a chain. They do lovely drinks and cakes. The staff are friendly and helpful. 👍

Good store enough choice without too much

Thought we'd give the Insomnia coffee shop in Bakewell a try. It is situated on the ground floor of the Co-op, an easy distance from the river and very popular 'love-locks' Bridge. It was quite busy; service took a while. Our coffees were okay, not great, but the cake, the Ultimate Brownie, was excellent. Being a part of a busy supermarket, it doesn't have quite the same relaxed atmosphere of a dedicated coffee shop, but we wish them well.

Great yellow ticket items - priced to sell!!

Really nice Co-op, with a large selection of products you don't get in the smaller stores.

Lovely little supermarket with lovely new coffee shop in side.

Good supermarket friendly staff nice town bakewell , I use to work there , nice store, nice café inside the store.

I was very impressed with this store loved the layout very modern and the clothes and self fill section,just a shame I don't live anywhere near it so probably won't be able to visit again

Insomnia cafe now inside the shop, plenty of seats, toys available for little ones to play. Good choice of cakes and tasty drinks

Surprised to see inside the co-op, lovely café nice cuppa and piece of 🍰!❤️ Friendly staff!

Bakewell is ill served by this co-op over a number of years, poor ranges with limited availability on some chilled products. To top it all today - no carrier bags. So the rude male member of staff on the check out expects you to do an unplanned need shop of £50 and the carry it all out by hand with no bags. He then proceeded to get difficult when we found some frozen food bags from one of his colleagues.

Just go here, get a tango ice blast

Visited the new coffee shop. Very nice

Good selection ...helpful staff

Not your run of the mill supermarket…. Stocks a very good range and is just a cut above our London stores. Lovely friendly staff too.

Loved it, and the new cafe is great

Coops everywhere are so expensive

Great shop, they had everything that we wanted and more. If you are stopping off for lunch, they have a great selection of snacks and drinks.

Biggest Co-op I have ever seen, has a cafe as well and everything we needed!

Excellent and politeful service to like always

Great selection of food and drink. But like all co ops . A bit on the expensive side.

I've never seen such a fancy looking co-op! Makes my local one seem inadequate.

Plenty of choice. But like all co ops a little on the expensive side.
