Let's see. How to start this review. I guess. One word comes to mind. CHEEEEEEEESE!…read more I love cheese. Most ppl love cheese. Here is a heavenly place where there is load and loads of cheese! The shop is small but large enough to hold all the cheese! It's a great place to go and try a new cheese! Or an old cheese! They have a section with precut meats and dips. Overall a fresh clean and lovely cheese shop. The staff were kind and knowledgeable about cheese. They let us try different cheeses before we decided on the ones we did, they also have a small crate in the cooler section called 'cheese bites' which we grabbed 3. We are definitely planning on coming here again. We found cheese we love and can't wait to try more!

Clear easy communication and a wonderful selection of cheese and other deli type foods like sauces, tinned fish etc They have some seating outside but none inside. Wonderful experience!

Only my second time at Nelsons but my son and daughter-in-law are regulars. We went today to…read morecelebrate my daughter's birthday. The sandwiches are amazing, and if possible the service is even better!! We had lunch combos and each one was excellent! One really couldn't ask for a more friendly staff or better service. Thank you very much!! We will be back.

Been stopping by Nelson's for years! Need the perfect lunch...look no further!…read more Street parking available nearby! This is a no frills, but well-oiled machine of a deli! The line is usually out the door during the lunch rush, but don't worry...they'll get you through quick! Well-staffed with people that are excited to see you and excited to make you something delightful! Sandwiches (warm or cold) and salads are the name of the game! Choose your line, order it up as is or custom, and grab your soda/chips to make it a meal and you are set! On my latest visit, I had the Old Fashioned, which was perfect! Made a few swaps including a french roll, no tomatoes, add pickles! Perfect lunch size, great value, and quality ingredients! There's a reason people will wait in line for this spot! I can't recommend it enough!

I visited based on a recommendation and I was not disappointed. I wanted to purchase a gift to…read moresupport local businesses over the holidays. I asked 'what screams 'Golden Fig' such that is will create a unique gift for a special foodie person. They recommended the hot chocolate mix and spices as they create both in house and are unique to their store. There are several options for each and I chose one chocolate and some homemade marshmallows to accompany and several slices that reminded me of far away travels. So fun. I had a ton of fun perusing the store. There were so many things to look at. Lots of holiday options but also a few staples if you just need a local grocer. Parking is on street but I found a spot right in front. Great experience.

She was so wonderfully outgoing. Went back another time without the pups and stopped in to browse around- so many cute items, specialty food, candy , gifts etc. so much to browse through and such a cute shop. I only wish I lived closer now- we lived about 6 blocks away for years and never visited- it's not until you move do you appreciate it.

The candy choices are plenty, given limited space. The Scottie dog licorice is a fun variation. But really the only thing I want to write about is the thing that made me do a little involuntary hip wiggle shimmy. It's the maple peanut cluster. A generously sized, many-peanuted, chocolate ensconced, maple-stuff centered delight. I almost returned to the shop the next day just to get another one. But I didn't want to jinx it, if that makes sense. Sorry shop. But here's your 5-star review.

But the best part of this hidden gem is the Del Sol Mexican deli. The food is amazing and people travel from all parts of the Twin Cities to eat there.

I highly recommend you head over and say hi to Mo the owner and order some tacos or burritos - you won't be disappointed!

Off the beaten path in Midway sits one of those Deli inside a grocery store…read more It is close enough to work that I stop by every once in a while nowadays to pick up one of the most underrated Philly Steak Sandwiches - Kaiser bun, very thinly shaved steak, minced garlic, thinly sliced bell peppers & onions and that damn goddamn delicious cheese. Ooh Wee. The menu posted above the kitchen says they make other sandwiches as well and they seemed to have wings, chicken strips and Catfish Tilapia at bargain price. This deli has had a different menu about 3-4 times in the last year alone. Come to find out, the Deli was leased to others who were cooks but the grocery owner has now decided to keep it in the family and has his wife cooking up the delicious Philly. How do I know this? When I checked in thru Yelp, I supposedly was going to get 1 Free small Fry and it also said "All Yelp customers dining with us will receive 15%". I found out this was "maybe, put on Yelp by the previous cooks", that's what the guy behind the register said. Yelp also seems to think that '$15 for $20 deal' It still is advertising is probably good. Tip: Call to make sure they're open. The deli hours are supposedly 10-8pm. They were not open at 1:00 pm in the afternoon sometimes.

I have purchased turkey a few times that has gone bad in my fridge before or immediately after the sell by date. I have a brand new fridge as well, so that can't be blamed. When you charge this much for turkey, it should at least last until the sell by date. I also don't appreciate how when you purchase a smoothie, they pour massive amounts of it down the drain when it doesn't fit into your cup. At least set those out as samples. It is extremely wasteful.

I'm glad that non-members can shop here, though, because I really enjoyed walking around. They had an aisle with bulk goods in bins, which I don't often see around here. I was mostly there to check out the cheese selection, and what I found pleased me greatly. They had a nice variety of cheeses, including many top-level local makers. They also had diverse jams, honeys, and crackers to go along with cheese; those were arranged atop the cheese gondola and on a nearby shelf. Checkout was fast, the checker very welcoming and pleasant. I'd definitely visit this market and others in the chain if I come across them again.

Always smiling and chatting with the customers as if we are all family. They have a great selections and good prices.
