City Center Market & Cafe

Since 1979, City Center Market Food Co-op and Deli has been a cornerstone of the Cambridge community, offering a trusted source of organic produce and natural foods. With over 3,400 owners, the co-op is guided by cooperative principles and aims to enhance the physical, economic, and social well-being of its community.

City Center Market adheres to the seven cooperative principles, which include voluntary and open membership, democratic member control, member economic participation, autonomy and independence, education, training and information, cooperation among cooperatives, and concern for community. These principles ensure that the co-op operates with a commitment to environmental and social responsibility, sourcing and investing locally to contribute to sustainable community development.

The market features a full-service deli with seating, a wide selection of bulk goods, and organizes monthly events open to everyone. Membership is open to all, providing an inclusive place for the community to gather and shop for wholesome foods. Employment opportunities are available, and the market encourages community involvement through various programs and a newsletter.
