Willy Street Co-op Hot Dish
Beefy, cheesy, potatoey, hot… what more could a Wisconsinite want on a cold Saturday afternoon?
Montebello Organic Farfalle
Do you enjoy feeling fancy while munching on comfort food? This simple organic bowtie pasta comes from northern Italy and has a delightful firm texture. I enjoy it with a light marinara, sautéed garlic and Sartori Shredded Parmesan. Sausage and peppers would be a great addition if you are looking for additional protein and fiber in your meal!
Joe
Schar Artisan Bakers White Bread
This isn’t like most other gluten-free breads. It feels like bread, not cake. It bends. It takes spreads without crumbling. It toasts nicely, and works in recipes like stuffing and French toast.

Willy Street Co-op Zucchini Bread
Perfectly moist and not too sweet. Delicious quick snack or breakfast.
Abigail
Troubadour Bakery Brioche Burger Buns
Not just for burgers! Actually, I haven’t even had a burger on one of these buns (although I’m sure it would be great). Soft, fluffy, with just a pinch of sweetness, these buns are so yummy to use with some sliced meat and cheese from the Deli. Make some sandwiches to take with you on a picnic! Also delicious used for breakfast sandwiches. Locally made in Milwaukee!
Caitlyn
Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream
A cult classic! This thick (but not heavy), creamy moisturizer is the answer to all of your winter skin woes. Skin Food will keep your complexion as hydrated and glowing as any high-end designer cream. Can’t recommend enough.
Collin
Cesar Cheese Habañero Cheddar
This cheddar is creamy and smooth. It has an addictive balanced heat that is intense but never overwhelming. Bright and fruity notes from the fresh habañero peppers provide a perfect complement to party dishes like nachos, queso dip, or chili dogs for your next game day get-together. Buying any of Cesar’s Cheese products supports a small local business owner, Wisconsin dairy operations, and helps keep money in the Wisconsin economy! Available at East and North only.

Justin’s Peanut Butter Cups
Forget everything you thought you knew about chocolate peanut butter cups; these will rock your world!!!
Nemat Amber Perfume Oil
Normally, I am not a fan of Amber oil, but I can NOT get enough of this stuff! I would say this Amber is more similar to Egyptian Musk (which I am a huge fan of), rather than most other Amber oils I have smelled which, as a former essential oil guru acquaintance once remarked, are too presumptuous. The oil is delicious, and if you are feeling like treating yourself, check out the perfume mist!
Amanda
Karthauser & Sons Plants
We usually have a great variety to choose from. These make such nice presents. For the friend or family member that loves plants. Or treat yourself!
Ben
Willy Street Co-op Vegan Croutons
These crunchy croutons take any salad to the next level. Baked in-house with olive oil, Italian herbs, and nutritional yeast they add a delicious savory quality to a plateful of greens. It’s hard to imagine eating a salad without them! Available at East and North only.
Amy
Origin Breads Golden Cherry Almond Granola
It is by far the best granola. It’s like Grandma Origin Breads whipped up their special granola from scratch just for you. The toasty coconut and almonds are buttery-rich. The turmeric in a pleasant and unexpected surprise. Best of all the magic ingredient to tie it all up in a bow is the sesame seeds. Wowzers. I see most people purchasing the Maple Pecan variety, which I’m sure is also amazing, if you like pecans.
Kristi
Honey Mama’s Lavender & Rose Cocoa Truffle Bar
I feel like a queen bee when I treat myself to one of these beautiful chocolate bars. They are made in Portland, Oregon with seven simple ingredients: raw honey, cocoa powder, coconut meat, unrefined coconut oil, salt, lavender oil, and dried red rose petals. If you’re like me and need to work on prioritizing your pleasures you should start here. They make a great gift as well (just remember to keep refrigerated)!
James
Willy Street Co-op Vanilla Cheesecake
If I’m ever having a long day, or just “a day” in general, one of my favorite things to do is get a snack I really enjoy. This cheesecake always hits the spot. Simple but perfect—can’t go wrong!
Feel Good Foods Chicken and Vegetable Egg Rolls
These are some of the best frozen egg rolls I have ever had! I really like both the chicken and vegetable varieties. They are awesome in the oven at home, or if you are lucky enough to have a toaster oven at work, they are perfect for lunch! I honestly can eat them plain, but a little bit of soy sauce is also perfect for these. They knock those mini egg rolls from other brands out of the park!
Thayer
Heritage Store Rosewater Refreshing Facial Mist
This spray has such a lovely but not overpowering rose scent. I use it on my face as a toner as well as a spritz during the day whenever I need a refreshing pick-me-up (in the summer, I keep a bottle in the fridge). It is also very restorative for tired feet after a long day!
Dan
Red Barn Family Farms Vintage Willow Creek
Red Barn Family Farms uses a domestic Fair Trade model and produces humane certified cheese that is all just fantastic. The Willow Creek is a 2-year aged, raw milk cheddar with a fruity start and a buttery finish. It pairs perfectly with citrus, almonds, honey and figs, or a Cabernet Sauvignon
Shannon
TDE Tangerines
These tangerines are simply magnificent. I believe their bright flavor is best enjoyed in the bowels of winter,to alleviate the symptoms of SAD (S.easonal A.ffective D.isorder). They also remind me of the record label Top Dawg Entertainment (T.D.E.).
Mourning Dove
Organic Leeks
These anti-inflammatory suckers add a delicate onion flavor and make food look so pretty. Thinly slice and sprinkle over whatever dish you’re cooking, and you’ll look like a fancy pants chef.
Kishu Mandarins
These tiny little oranges are not only adorable, but they taste like childhood. Fresh, sweetly unique, and oh so itty bitty.
