Good Eggs

Good Eggs has shut down operations as of 8÷5÷15.
More of a notice to everyone than a review.

I’ve been using Good Eggs for grocery home delivery for a few months now and have been really happy with the service. They offer high quality local products with fair market pricing.
My regular orders go something like this:
1 dozen pastured eggs
half and half or milk
fruit (strawberries or apples)
veggies (stuff I can use in stir fry or potatoes if I know I’ll be making breakfast)
half a loaf of sourdough
prepared food item (crawfish etoufee, baba ganoush, etc)
tortillas (from Holy Nola, my fave)
a flourless cookie from Gracious Bakery
meat product (sausage or shrimp or beef)
avocados (not local and they do tell you that but they are from California instead of Mexico so there’s that)
I’ve been really happy with the items I’ve ordered and whenever there has been in an issue with something not being available, their customer service group is quick to let you know why and makes up for it.
They did recently change their minimum order for free delivery to $ 45 instead of $ 30. I don’t order every week so this isn’t a problem for me but it could be for some people even though it’s only $ 2.99 for delivery under $ 45. I just appreciate delivery because I live in a secure complex and it’s not easy to deliver to me but they make it work!
Overall, I highly recommend if you are looking for a local and customer friendly experience in NOLA!

Policies keep changing, and Goodeggs is becoming much less user friendly. Add to this a self righteous and snooty employee, and I would say this is a business to avoid. I used to be a regular customer with rave reviews. Now, I recommend Whole Foods and farmer’s markets instead of Goodeggs.

Not local and expensive!
I am updating my review after more than a year and my last two orders being disappointing. So no longer can you pick up your groceries and you have to have a new $ 45 minimum for free delivery. It was $ 30 just a few weeks ago but I went on today and its now $ 45 BOO! But what really makes me think I will no longer order from Goodeggs is that the food is no longer local. I was shocked at my last order when my produce came with stickers on it from California and Florida. I went on and noticed there is a small Locally Produced filter you need to click to see only local food. Disappointing since I thought the purpose was to connect local producers to a larger market. So now with a $ 45 minimum, no pick up options, and less locally produced produces than I would want I would rather bring my own bags to Hollygrove or Whole foods.

I had been wanting to try Good Eggs for a while because I love that they support local growers and producers AND I can order these local goodies from the comforts of my pajamas.
The site has a ton of available options, but because I’m really bad at planning out my meals, I stuck with more snack-​on items and a few small prepared dishes which were the perfect size to enjoy for lunch when working from home.
Standout items for me are:
Ryals Rocking R Dairy Cajun Chevre
I’ve had it before from the Ryals family who are great people, and I love that I can order it on the site. It’s rich with a little kick. Great for a slice of bread or for a dinner party cheese plate.
Sitto’s Tabouleh from NOLAvore
Perfect fresh flavor. A serving that you can enjoy either in one sitting or as a side with another dish.
Avocado Vinaigrette from FARE Food Apothecary
This is so good. High acidity but a cream overtone of avocado. Make sure to shake it up. I put this on every-​thang!
Red Onion & Caper Cream Cheese — Half Pint from Laurel Street Bakery
Very strong flavor, and will give you some delightfully smelly breath, but a great alternative to your run-​of-​the-​mill cream cheese!
I also ordered the Kimchi from KoKoBob since I feel like it’s really hard to find kimchi in town. Let me just start by telling you Kimchi is a good size serving and good taste, but the smell is pretty pungent and may sting the nostrils.
Pro-​tip: Get everything to come on the same day. There is an option for things to be delivered on different days, and some things take longer than others, so my advice would be to put it all on the same day so that you’re not worrying about multiple orders to pick up at your front door.
Pro-​tip: Make sure your sig. other doesn’t throw out the freezer packs that can be returned or else you’ll be charged for them. :/​My fault but still good to know.
Pro-​tip: I’ve been told the breads don’t have preservatives (a good thing!) but you should make sure that you’ll be able to enjoy them that week or else they may go bad sooner than later.
I will definitely order from them again. I just need to plan out my snacks and/​or meals, and try new things!

Good Eggs NOLA is a great service, providing a high-​quality product via pick-​up or delivery.
Our typical orders involved dairy — at least a half gallon of reduced-​fat milk every week. We would often supplement this with cream and half and half depending on what we planned to make that week.
All of the products are excellent, and it is nice to be able to purchase locally-​sourced products. This definitely comes at a premium — our milk cost about $ 7.70 for a half gallon on the weekly subscription (this includes the $ 4 bottle deposit). A fair number of the items are priced substantially higher than a typical grocery store, but (as in the case of the milk) it may be worth the extra cost for the huge increase in quality.
Good Eggs is a great service, providing a great product to people who would otherwise not have access to them.
Unfortunately, Good Eggs and I are parting ways. It was always convenient for us to pick-​up our orders — in their old location or their new one. Recently, Good Eggs changed their sustainability policies, which eliminated us as a subscribing customer, and essentially as a customer overall. They now require all orders to be a minimum of $ 30, regardless of subscriptions, pick-​up, or delivery. With dairy being the only item we were unable to procure/​produce ourselves, increasing our order to the minimum $ 30/​week was not worth it. If this policy helps them grow, prosper, and provide their products to more people, we wish them nothing but the best.
Fortunately we were able to find another source for our dairy needs, albeit at a bit higher premium.
In summary, Good Eggs provides a great service — one we are unfortunately unable to continue supporting. They get THREE STARS!

So we had to leave Nola for a couple of years to live in Seattle. I got spoiled walking to Pike Place Market a couple of weeks for much of my food — veggies, fruits, meat, dairy. Though occasionally I’d still get a less than great onion or tomato, I’d become used to having good, fresh food. When we got back home this summer, we were surprised with a welcome home gift box from Good Eggs from some friends. It was from Hollygrove and everything was good.
I forgot about Good Eggs for a couple of months after that til I got yet another crap peach from Whole Foods. I gave Good Eggs a try and was happy to have edible peaches! As well, the prices were pretty consistent with Whole Foods.
It’s been about 4 months that we’ve been buying most of our produce from Good Eggs and we’re really pleased. We also buy a lot of seafood and meat from them as well as eggs and milk and some cheese. The selection is growing, which is great, and the quality’s been very good. Occasionally there’s a screw-​up on an order, and the few times that happens, the good people at Good Eggs give a little bonus, such as $$ off on an order. We mix it up between pick up and delivery, and the delivery people are incredibly nice and friendly.
I tend to stay away from the breads at Good Eggs because I simply can’t wrap my head around $ 7 and up for a loaf of bread. And I still have to make some store runs for some things I can’t or won’t get from Good Eggs (such as bread), but I’m relying on Good Eggs more and the brick and mortar stores less. Anytime I don’t have to stand in line in the market AND get better, fresher products works for me.

I like ordering food from Good Eggs — I’ve placed orders for delivery and pick up. The delivery arrived between the times stated and the food was packaged nicely and everything was the right temp. Picking up at their location is easy too — and it smells so good! I’ve never had any problems with the quality of food I’ve ordered (I should mention that I haven’t ordered any prepared foods from them — just produce).

It was like a foodie Christmas when I came home from work and my farm box was waiting for me. I have placed a second order and told everyone I work with about Good Eggs. The executive chef has placed orders for his home and one of our servers has done the same. I hate shopping and thanks to you, my product/​dairy/​bread needs have been met.

We get our Hollygrove box delivered through Good Eggs and I’ve ordered some other things through these guys as well. Delivery has been easy and the products are always stellar. I’m hooked on the local raw sugar for my tea and I love the little extras they include. It’s a great service for those of us who love farm fresh products but don’t live close to the local farmer’s market.

Lol my husband and I went there and were greeted by a young lady who liked at us as if confused. Because I read parking options under More Info well we went there to our surprise they deliver ONLY! Lol talk about embarrassed. It looked interesting and she was gave us a card with information in case we were interested.

I love Good Eggs so much I want to give this service (and possibly the entire staff) a GIANT HUG. Like, this is serious love, man. I don’t even *like* hugs (unless I know you very well. I have personal space issues).
I hate, loathe and despise grocery stores. Whole Foods, I can handle on a limited basis and I really have to force myself to go because, hello, it’s watermelon and cherry season. And being a veggie junkie, I do know that that food isn’t just going to magically appear on my doorstep.
Or will it?
Because Good Eggs can make it happen.
I typically get all my seasonal/​local produce delivered right to my door and unless you wish it to arrive during a very specific time window, there’s no extra delivery fee. Nice, right? It’s also the easiest way to get my fix of French Truck dark roast vanilla bean coffee (WF doesn’t carry it) And come Mardi Gras and I want a vegan GF king cake? Yep. Good Eggs will deliver that, too, not to mention other prepared foods that I personally haven’t ordered yet but they all sound/​look incredible.
This week’s perk: free blueberries! How nice is that?
Customer service is top notch. They immediately respond to all emails, say if you didn’t realize they actually did deliver that flat of wheatgrass because your boyfriend thought it was something to be planted in the garden so he left it on the floor by the front door. I sent them an email alerting to my «missing» wheatgrass and within minutes, I was issued a refund. Upon realizing my error, I of course rectified the situation. It’s super impressive customer service.
They also have parties on the regular where you can sample from their purveyors.
A five star review is better than a hug, isn’t it?

Best experience I’ve had in a long, long time. All local and natural foods delivered free to your door (or a designated pickup area) at very reasonable prices. The produce box I received was wonderful– everything was obviously picked that day. Included in the produce box was a block of tofu (I usually hate tofu.) This stuff is incredible– nice texture and seasoned perfectly. Cold goods are placed in insulated bags which they take back for next time if you want– just leave the bags out for the next home delivery. The customer service was just as great. I requested initially to have my delivery placed in my unlocked alley while I was at work, but realized it looked like rain. I received an email as well as a text with a confirmation of delivery time, and responded to the text requesting they deliver to Faubourg Wines if it was raining. Shortly after, I received a text stating my delivery was there because it started to rain. Pick up was super easy– just look for your name and off you go. I’ll definitely be using them again– better food plus no driving, shopping, dodging carts and waiting in line– a great addition to New Orleans!

Accessible local foods! It is a dream come true. Local/​seasonal veggies and fruits, as well as meats, fish, dairy products, etc. Easy to contact farmers if you want. I wish for all places to be as such!

I love Good Eggs.
Love ‘em.
Here’s why:
Quality:
I won’t expound on the healthful and ecological benefits of locally-​sourced, organic produce, grass-​fed meats, pastured chickens & eggs, and non-​homogenized dairy. If you don’t know, Google it, but the gist is that it’s profoundly better than factory farms and mass-​produced genetically and chemically-​altered food products, both for your health and for the environment, in so many ways. Really, look it up.
Price:
As much as everyone complains about the price of local/​organic food and how it’s not affordable, I’m finding that I’m actually spending less. I’ve been ordering a weekly delivery from GoodEggs for a couple of months, and now I only go to a real grocery store (or the Hong Kong market) about once a month for specific herbs, sauces, oils, vinegars, etc., so I’m not wandering hungrily through the land of the impulse-​buy. On average I’m spending between $ 10-​$ 25 less than I was when making the weekly rounds to Rouse’s and Costco and Whole Foods, not even counting the gas & time it took.
Convenience:
I’m able to thoughtfully plan out my week’s needs, pick out my veggies, meats, etc., on the computer, and then a couple of days later they either show up at my door while I’m working from home or I pick them up after work from the wine shop around the corner. (Great excuse to pick up a bottle of wine from another awesome local business, too!)
Variety:
Seriously, sometimes when I get my delivery it’s like friggin’ Top Chef in my house. As en example, just last night I sauteed some awesome-​looking green & purple fuzzy «dragon’s tongue» green beans in local butter from Country Girls Creamery with one of the onions from the Hollygrove Box, while slow-​roasting some Bartlett Farms chicken quarters and baking off some paleo-​style Scotch Eggs that I made with Inglewood pastured eggs and Gonsoulin grass-​fed ground beef. All of it was from Good Eggs. And all of it is ridiculously delicious.
In summary:
I feel healthier because I’m eating good foods and not buying a bunch of crap. I like knowing my money is going to local businesses. I’m happy that my money isn’t going to factory farms and/​or paying for the fossil fuels it takes to ship out-​of-​season, chemically-​laden food across the country/​globe. I’m spending less money overall. I’m saving *so* much time actually doing the grocery shopping. And because the available veggies & things are what’s best at the peak of the season, I’m getting a great, ever-​changing mix of super-​fresh foods that stretch my cooking ability.
And um, the milk in glass bottles? My heart swells.
The farm eggs? So good. Some are even blue. I like blue.
All in all, it’s a fabulous service. They absolutely have my weekly grocery business for the foreseeable future.

I am so absolutely thrilled with the experience I have had/​continue to have with this company, I feel compelled to write a review. There are two things that I can be very picky about– the quality of my food, and the aptitude of customer service (when applicable) that I receive. Good Eggs has exceeded my expectations on both of these fronts, standing out as downright impressive.
This is basically a farmers market that can be shopped online, and then delivered to your door. My orders have included (but are not limited to) the following:
A weekly produce box filled with locally grown berries, kale, mixed salad greens, potatoes, squash, green beans, onions, and more.
Fresh dairy milk and cheese and Greek yogurt
Range free eggs
Range free chicken (beef, fish, seafood and sausage is also available for ordering)
Squid ink fettuccine (other flavors such as basil and tomato are offered)
Freshly baked bread– including pita bread
High energy granola
Raspberry chipotle pepper jelly (amazing)
Homemade soaps
Local coffee
There are so many more items that I haven’t tried yet, however I can attest that everything on the list above was fresh, tasted amazing (except the soap), and delivered to my door. I didn’t have to drag my four year old daughter through the farmers market, and I spent way less than I would have at Whole Foods.
The delivery that is offered can be free– if you don’t mind a four to five hour window. For a minimal charge (about $ 4) it can be narrowed down to a two hour window. Real people who work for Good Eggs have emailed me to ask if I am happy with their services (no automated bs), and those who deliver the orders are extremely pleasant and polite. This is an amazing service that I look forward to every week.
Thank you, Good Eggs– for simplifying my life and helping my daughter and me to eat more good food. We are happier people because of you!

Bringing local groceries to your door, or meet them at a pick up point. You are ordering from local farmers and food makers so everything is fresh, and naturally tastes better.
With a very knowledgeable and friendly staff no questions are too small or large.
