    Woooo first check in!
    Mikhala F.

    Woo first review! I got wind that this new Fresh Thyme location on University and S.E. Arthur near Prospect Park / U of M Stadium Village area opened today and headed that way. Fresh Thyme is a great place to get your groceries or stop for a meal! Similar to Whole Foods but better prices. I like the other locations so stopped in to shop and eat dinner. Lots of fresh produce and for cheap. I got avocados for 50 cents a piece! They have great cheap produce and some unique stuff, like multiple kinds of fresh mushrooms. Good organic, gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options. I especially like their gf frozen meal and dessert options! You can save a lot by buying in bulk here. They have bulk candy and chocolate, yes, but also bulk beans, cous cous, and flour (gf flour!). Great way to save and reuse containers. I love eating here too. Good salad bar, antipasti bar, and soup options. Love the tomato soup. My boyfriend introduced me to $4.99 sandwiches and I've been obsessed since! Can put whatever you want on it. They also have gluten free bread! Made to order pizzas, sushi, and other to go meals as well. It was their first day, so when I asked for gluten free bread, the guy couldn't find it and was going to make me a sandwich with gf pizza dough (cooked and sliced). He was really gonna go the distance for me! However, he found the gf bread and made me an awesome Reuben. Cheap rotisserie chicken - maybe just for opening day but was a steal! As far as service, a lot are younger, probably U of M students, so can be a bit awkward at times. Takes some time to work out first day kinks I'm sure, but this is an awesome and affordable fresh produce and all around grocery and quick bite option. Nothing else like it around and really supports the area!

    Fresh thyme: even the flowers are cheaper and better?

    Love this new location and its selection. They just opened a few days ago and I'm ecstatic to have found this place. 1. General Very clean, nicely organized, staff members are very helpful and attentive. I hope this continues and don't decline in quality. It's a grocery like others, good selection and very comparable with Whole Foods. 2. Food selection One word: great. I found everything I needed/wanted. I also liked that they are cheaper than most grocery stores and of good quality. Bakery was great too. Their ready to eat food was very delicious, from soup to pizza to whole chicken. They also have fun games for kids and give treats if they solve the puzzle. Parking lot is spacious enough. All in all, my new favorite grocery store

    mild guacamole.... tasty and $4.99 on Wednesdays.

    I've been to this location 3 times and so far so good. I spend most of my time in the produce section and its a good assortment of quality products at a reasonable price. I do find several items in the bulk section (pay by the weight) to be pricier than even Whole Foods. The meat case is pretty good, but smaller than say Cubs. Nonetheless, still good options and prices. Haven't tried the deli bar, but someone I know heard good things. I have had the oven fried chicken and guacamole, both which were tasty. One thing I noticed, this location seems to not have a juice bar like the one on Excelsior. If it's there and I'm missing it.... let me know.

    Lunch register at 12:30 pm on a busy worker Wednesday.

    Pretty solid store, has everything you'd want, but some items are just too spendy. And now I need to make it a long enough post

    Store is dirty and the produce (tomatoes) has mold growing on them. Not enough workers either.

    Do the cashiers bag the groceries, or do I? I'm new to grocery stores in MN and never know what to expect anymore.

    They bag your groceries in either paper or plastic!

    Are there 2 different Fresh Thyme at this location or is there a mistake? I Followed Yelp's directions to this place today and literally ended up in the middle of nowhere -__-

    Hi, Minh! We're sorry to hear about this! There must be a mistake with the directions. We'll look into getting it fixed! Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

    Made an impromptu visit to The Wedge last night, about 45 minutes before closing. Surprisingly…read morestill pretty lively....shoppers hustling around at that hour. I'm a lookerrrr, so I loved taking my time to really look around. The store is bright, clean, and stocked. Good variety: groceries, deli and bakery items, personal care products, and even a small jewelry section tucked in. Prices felt fair....nothing that gave me sticker shock. Didn't have much interaction with staff aside from a quick (and quiet) checkout, but everyone seemed friendly from a distance. Parking was fine, which is always a bonus. I'm not from the Minneapolis area, so I wouldn't make a special trip just to come here, but if I'm nearby and need something, I'd happily stop in again.

    After a few days of being laid up sick with a stomach bug it was time to make myself known. I was…read moregoing to the farmers market but that was just way too much peopling for me. I was in the area so I hoped that the Wedge co-op would have smoothies, and they did! I purchased a breakfast fuel smoothie that ended up being a little too nut buttery for me. This is my fault, remember I've been sick so I wasn't reading properly! The smoothie maker happily gave me some pineapple juice to add which helped. He declined my offer of payment for said juice. The real winner is the two bites of macaroni and cheese and macaroni and mushrooms from the hot bar that my stomach handled. It wasn't too salty or too greasy. Once I have my appetite back, I'll def come back for full portions! They have a nice quiet seating area that's always been clean when I visit. Parking is parking at the wedge. It's never as bad as anticipated.
