Didnt pay attention & noticed on my drive home they were Tsylor Farms....explains the $1 sale. I also picked up an orange chicken for $5 that I've purchased elsewhere for nearly $10.00. They had microwave meals, ice cream, pizza, pop, breakfast sandwiches * other items. They also carried a selection of hygeine items; from shampoos, lotions, to deodorants. Great little place w easy street parking. Stop on by!

Is this, dare I say, the best coffee shop in the twin cities?…read more Their coffee is exceptional specialty coffee that doesn't need to hide behind syrups or gimmicky drinks. Their parking lot is massive and free. there is enough seating when you include the outdoor seating that you'll always find a spot. Prices are a bit higher than I'd want, but drip at 3.50 and a flat white at 5 is fair. Baristas seem competent. This might just be the best coffee shop in the twin cities

The atmosphere is very cool and laidback, there's plenty of open space and seating options with outlets close by. The decor is really fun and eclectic as well. I'm more of a chai latte person than a coffee person, so I was very pleasantly surprised to find out that they carry Chiya Chai from Namaste Cafe. I love being able to support multiple local businesses and find it really cool when places collaborate like that. The barista was also very nice and welcoming and did not seem bothered at all by me asking about their chai supplier. My husband tried their iced americano with oat milk and caramel and thought it was really good as well. I definitely would love to come back sometime soon and hang out.

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!

Let me preface this review by saying that I used to love this store! I shopped here all the time!…read more But it just seems more and more there are little things adding up to big dissatisfaction. The new carts are a nightmare already! One had a sharp piece of metal sticking out so a small child could cut themselves or clothing would be ruined on it. I told the checkout employee and he just said, "Yeah, there's nothing but trouble with these new carts." But he made no move to try to solve the problem. So I brought it to another employee who was working near self check out (maybe manager). He didn't even pay attention to where the issue was. He just told another employee to "put it in the back with the other problem carts." I'm like, you might want to put a piece of tape on it and a description of the problem. They're not gonna know what's wrong with it. They totally ignored me. IF You can find someone to ask where something is, they multiple times have acted like I'm bothering them. Had one today that rolled ok but required much strength to turn it around. Today I made a suggestion that they put all the dairy-free items together so one could easily find them, instead of having to comb through each product to find the ONE LONE dairy free product. Again, it was like I was bothering her by suggesting something and she said "Is it the sour cream then or what? Well they just redid that section so I don't know if it's gonna happen." And I'm almost positive she was a manager. The appropriate response would be something like, "Oh that's an interesting idea. Let me bring that to my boss," or something similar. Ok, thanks for completely disregarding my suggestion. Who am I? Just your lowly customer, for whom you exist. I made a request to a manager a couple months ago and he was looking at his phone the whole time and acting like he couldn't wait for me to stop talking so he could get away from me. People seem to have no idea what customer service is supposed to look and feel like! Especially here. But that's ok. There are plenty of other option for groceries.

Coming from Los Angeles, I've always had a pretty high standard for pastrami, especially the thick,…read morepiled-high New York-style sandwiches I grew up expecting. Minnesota has disappointed me more than once. Too often the pastrami is sliced thin, served light, and feels more like an afterthought than the main event. That changed today. I stopped at St. Paul Meat Shop and ordered their smoked pastrami on rye with mustard. Simple. Exactly how a pastrami sandwich should be. And damn, they got it right. The pastrami was smoky, tender, flavorful, and there was actually enough meat on the sandwich to call it a pastrami sandwich without laughing. This was easily one of the best pastrami sandwiches I've had in the Twin Cities, and honestly, it may be the best. If you've been looking for a proper pastrami sandwich in Minnesota, this is the place.

I tried the Red although it was small it did pack a punch for relief if needed. Outdoors there is a stand along counter for dining outside which was unique. This is a small cozy neighborhood cafe I found the prices very reasonable and since they are fairly new to this game we'll give them some time to fine tune.
