I have to say this place was a treat. I was here a little while ago, and I just can't rave enough…read moreabout this place. They actually slice the mango into strips and add flavorings. I could have any type of spice that I want like taco seasoning, paprika or even salt. The possibilities seem endless. The person who runs this stand just opening a while back, and he seems the friendliest sort. I really want to go back, since they have some type of freeze dried ice cream, or so I think.

It may be -7 degrees in St Paul, but I'm munching on some fresh, locally-grown carrots and sprouts…read morefrom Garden Fresh Farms. I subscribed to their crop share program and pick up a bag of FRESH produce every other week for myself and my daughter. If you have a larger family, you can schedule a weekly pickup. The St Paul location is the Sunrise Market near Minehaha. This is convenient to Mississippi Market -- so I pick up my share and other staples during the same trip. The most recent share included carrots, potatoes, squash, rutabaga, sprouts, lettuce and some tomato-basil soup. Subscribing to the share forces me to eat a variety of vegetables year round. I've rediscovered sprouts after nearly a decade. Summer and winter shares are available. The CSA offers pickup points throughout the Twin Cities and provides the ability to sign up online. It's worth visiting their website, though, and learning how they raise veggies and Fish year-round.

I love Aldi: great prices, "Twice as Nice" guarantee, not too crowded during the day, usually…read moreclean stores and sometimes their own brands surpass other brands. Shortcomings: it doesn't carry every item like a regular grocery store, you pay for bags (I just reuse my own), you need to bus your own cart if you want your quarter back. This is the first Aldi Store that I have been in that locks their public bathroom. You must ask the cashier on duty to grab the key & open the bathroom door.

This is such a great place to do grocery shopping and find home decor or gifts for people as well…read more I love that I can by certain organic products for a great price. The cashiers are moving more towards self check out now than your typical check out option.

I absolutely love this meat market and it is well worth a trip - even if you have to go out of your…read moreway to get there. Every single one of the staff that works there is so so friendly and helpful. This is a local owned butcher shop and it is always evident that they care immensely for their customers. Their selection is amazing and if there's something that you don't see that you want, they probably will go out of their way to get that for you! Besides the meat market part of it, they also have a really great sandwich selection for made to order sandwiches and a hot selection. Their smoked brisket and ribs are second to none. This is a comfortable place and super clean! Absolutely def recommend!

This place is actually pretty damn amazing. The details of the decor they put in to this place are…read moreabsolutely gorgeous, unique and clever or shall I say "cleaver". Service was attentive from everyone. So many delicious items to choose from there. I came specifically to grab a sandwich after doing a quick search online, knowing I would be in the area. An fyi for first timers, there's a little form at the first counter on the right, just after you walk in. Use a form for each sandwich you'd like, hand it to the person behind the counter and wait for them to call your name. I am so pleasantly surprised at how delicious the sandwich was. The bread, THE BREAD, was perfectly toasted but not hard. It was crispy, yet light and airy--so good. It looks super bready but it was not. The crust on their brisket, chef's kiss. My son even grabbed a White Bear Butchery cap cause they've got it all here. Needless to say, I will be back and look forward to trying more things.

My issue is that they think it is…read moreokay to break the LAW by taxing foods that are tax except in Minnesota such as the $.58 tax on their $6.99 BREAD!!! I did not pay it but only after a confused manager explained how "I don't know why it does that sometimes".... yes, he acknowledged that this is not the only time improper tax has been applied. Yeah, make sure to check ALL receipts at this place. It would seem like they squeeze you in ways you might not notice at first. Not a fan of people or places who screw over the little guys. Also, since this store has opened, I have been sent a flyer once a month that I didn't solicit & that I throw out every month. Why do I throw out their coupon page? I throw it out because the 3 times I decided, hey some orange juice for $1.99 or whatever is a good deal & go up to the store to get it, it has been totally sold out each time. My advice to the store; don't mail 10k coupon flyers if you're only going to have a couple hundred of the items you're trying to lure people into your store with. They will just leave bad reviews for repeatedly wasting their time. The store was clean & the bread was delicious to be fair to the store.

The best banh mi in the state! My goto spot for roast duck & bbq crispy pork ribs & pork belly…read more I can't be in an Asian grocery store long lol I only go here during the off peak times to avoid the long deli line. If I need any Asian grocery items, I usually just have my mom get them for me from a list that I would send her. I am very sensitive to smell and vomit very easily so I try to go in and out of Asian grocery stores as quickly as possible and especially on an empty stomach just in case I do vomit. The raw meat section smell is terrifying at every Asian market I wish it was sectioned far away from the entrance of deli foods. But it's not & they cut the raw meats in the open air (not enclosed or closed door separate room) & the smell lingers into the entire store at every Asian market & just makes me very ill. Luckily, the deli register line is only for the deli so I can just order deli foods and check out in the same line and then I'm out the door.

Again, so many things to try. The entrees I've tried haven't been my favorite items. I'd say, definitely try a banh mi or the roast duck. Service is not really something I take into consideration when reviewing Ha Tien as there's not a ton of interaction for me, most of the time. I get in, peruse the aisles and get out.

Love, love this market. Whenever I am in town to visit family, I make sure to visit this market…read more There is a great vendor that sells breakfast tacos during the winter and you can buy their tortillas to go! Lots of meat vendors, the pork chops we got were amazing. Also, many local honey vendors, flowers, as well as bread items. I cannot get over the bakery items. I was able to get a great sourdough round and some baguettes for dinner. My daughter loves these spicy cheddar rolls from one of the vendors (keep a look out for them). You cannot go wrong. It is in a central spot that makes this easy to get to, free parking and it is open fairly year round. As a tidbit, it is right next to my favorite coffee shop that makes a great Vietnamese coffee!!! PROS Free parking Lots of vendors, almost year round Great location Great people CONS Nothing, just go and enjoy the stroll

How does someone not love the St. Paul farmers market? It really is the OG for farmers markets…read morearound the Twin Cities. I have been to that one across the river, all I can say is they don't grow bananas in Minnesota. I have been visiting this place for decades, and I really love the way it is evolved well staying true to its roots. You need to have products that have been grown or made within a certain radius of Saint Paul. When I first started visiting, it was mainly growers, but as a farmers markets have expanded in the Twin Cities, some farmers have gone elsewhere. That means we are seeing more vendors of other types of food. People who forge mushrooms, people who make their own cheese. Bee keepers. The world's best pierogies. Tibetan dumplings. So many delights. It is bustling every Saturday and Sunday. It should be a weekly stop for everyone.

But honestly, the meats and everything are delicious. The variety that is offered it great and they even have a little liquor store next door if that's something you also have to grab. One of my favorite seasonings for EVERYTHING is Montreal Steak. Well this last time I went in they had Montreal Steak Seasoning brats and they were delicious.

First time coming here after I decided to stop buying meat at the regular grocery store and I am so…read morevery happy I came ! Whenever I go to Costco I always pass by it and get curious about it. Well I had a special dinner to prepare and wanted to make sure I went somewhere that would have the cut of meat I needed. It was very easy to access and parking was no issue as they have a parking lot. I walked in and was greeted and 2 gentleman helped me as I was going to order 4 pounds of brisket and then after telling them what I wanted to do they recommended a chuck roast and that was exactly correct! I definitely mixed up the meat I needed to get but they helped. The prices were fantastic and they had such an assortment of meats to get their selection looked great! I definitely will be coming here again as I love supporting local and quality was fantastic! I'll leave you guys with a video of the chuck roast as it came out so tender and almost falling apart! Great quality meat and great customer service!
