This Whole Foods is a bit quieter than others, which I actually appreciated. It is not very…read moredifferent from most Whole Foods locations, but it was nice to be able to get in and out without dealing with big crowds. I only needed a few items, but I did get to use their bread slicer on one of the fresh loaves, which was a fun touch and not something every grocery store offers. They also have a solid selection of pastries and desserts that are worth trying. That said, it is still Whole Foods, so prices can be pretty high and not the best option if you are on a tight budget. I stopped by around lunchtime and the hot food bar was open, but it did not look very fresh and seemed like it had been sitting out for a while, probably because this location does not get as much traffic.

We got the ingredients from Whole Foods and it was great. Prices are no longer "whole paycheck" as long as you stay away from the high end meats. I got sausages and peppers and an onion with a load of French bread. Very reasonable. The store is tidy and clean. Well stocked. Friendly associates. No complaints at all.

Has it really been over five years since my last review? Well, I'll cut to the chase: this co-op…read morestill rocks. I came in here wanting something fermented and found just what I was looking for: spicy kimchi. I was delighted to see that they have a great selection of fish-free kimchis along with the traditional anchovy and shrimp containing kinds. There's even a local brand that looks intriguing (next time). I also perused the gift section and bought myself a new lunch bag. I admired the gorgeous alpaca items--the hats are fun and they have some of the most gorgeous knots I've ever seen. Don't miss their mittens and gloves: warm, beautiful, and oh-so-functional (you can fold the tops off for extra dexterity!). I also went through the supplements and beauty section and bought some vitamins (I do love my vitamins) and a lip balm. The lip balms here are all really good, and it's easy to find petroleum free if you prefer. All the ones that I looked at were largely plant-based, though many contain beeswax. Very friendly staff and ample parking make this a great place to grab yourself a treat. (While I wasn't shopping for produce today, I love to go through the produce section. They have an excellent selection of everything, including a wide selection of fresh mushrooms and fresh kale that you can't find in most stores. They also have bulk fresh cranberries! It's a great place to let your culinary imagination run wild (and make your dreams come true if you are so inclined).

Fresh Thyme is still one of the most wonderful places in St. Louis Park as far as I am concerned…read more I can count on them to have amazing products of all kinds, including an excellent selection of supplements and functional beverages. They have some fantastic alcohol alternatives, including kava and CBD (including--hooray!--THC-free options) for those in need of chill in a can. Today, though, I want to focus on why I will be making many more visits for the foreseeable future. My friends, the Andes Gifts textiles are in. I repeat: Andes Gifts knitted goods are in! If you know, you know. If you don't, let me tell you. These fair-trade knitted accessories are not only warm as heck (thanks to the fleece-lined alpaca) but also absolutely darling. With everything from headbands to flippers to socks, you will find something to keep your extremities toasty. I personally favor the animal hats (and have purchased at least a dozen over the years). Available in sizes for kids and adults, these unique hats are guaranteed to get you smiles and giggles when gifted (or worn). New this year are knitted hand puppets that I am absolutely going to use as mittens, because life is too short to not do the little things that delight you.

I was in SLP and in front of the FTM and decided to browse for salad bags and found the biggest selection at reasonable prices.

Midtown Global Market has been such a staple in my life. It does such a good job of having food options from so many cultures and parts of the world. The food is reasonably priced and the workers are all so kind and knowledgable. Beyond just food, there is a huge selection of art, groceries, clothing, and more. MGM has always felt like the ideal of what Minneapolis is and can be. I am sad to see a lot of booths closed right now. My heart aches for my neighbors and community. I hope (and know) that MGM can bounce back and continue to be a place of diverse community. Love MGM always.

Seems like they are trying to bring people back by hosting more events (they've always had events but really pushing for the community to out). They still have some decent food options. Sad about Slice closing before I had to a chance to check them out. Still a few shops and produce vendors. I was born and raised for a bit in South Mpls and I find this area to be a bit challenging sometimes especially with them narrowing Lake Street down to single lanes. Makes me avoid the area as a whole. Definitely not MGM fault but generally unfortunate. You do have to pay for parking, ramp or metered. Or you could be lucky and find a spot around the neighborhood and walk over.

Upscale-ish grocery store in downtown. Their prices are somewhat accordingly; definitely higher…read morethan you'd see in Walmart. However because of this, they do have some nicer things than you can't get at Walmart, such as duck or goose, nice bakery items, prepared meals, craft sodas, etc. You'll pay a bit more on regular items as a result. Personally I was impressed how much stuff they crammed into this little corner store, as they have bath, kitchen, and decor items as well as cards and magazines upstairs. Now for the ugly. The bathroom is quite hidden in the basement, only accessible in the center "seating area" (meant to service the adjoined Caribou Coffee, most likely), and requires a key. The key can only be obtained from the cashier monitoring the self-checkout zone, and of course you will have to make a purchase to do so. Kindly, the employee working it allowed me the key before purchase, and I got some soda on my way out (scout's honor, right?). The bathroom was fairly immense (four stalls, three urinals) for a locked bathroom, lol. It was clean though. Another fair warning, there's a two hour limit in the parking lot, and furthermore you must remain on premises for those two hours or risk being towed (at least, that's what the sign says). So if you're hoping to park here, pop in for a quick purchase, and then spend time at shops elsewhere downtown, this spot isn't an option. I get it, I do, but it's still frustrating, especially on days where there's too much snow to parallel park elsewhere.

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.

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.

**July 2025: Sunday Morning Visit**…read more This is such a great Farmer Market and I'm so glad that I visited. On our last day in Minneapolis I happen to notice that we'd be able to attend this Sunday event. Farmers Markets in California all range in size so I didn't really know what to expect for this one - holy cow! It was huge and lots of different local things. They had Minnesota grown produce, handmade products, fresh flowers, baked good and so much more. I was introduced to Ty's Gingseng (https://www.tysginseng.com/) who grows and sells 6 year old ginseng powder - which is very high quality. I also bought relish from Red Ron's as well as some sausage links from another vendor. To be honest I probably could have spent at least 1.5 hours here if I wanted to really study all the booths and check everything out, but we had brunch plans and needed to depart within 45 mins. I would love to come back to support small! FYI: There's metered parking

There was live music, went into the walk in cooler to take a break from the sun and went back to it. Every vendor was very nice and welcoming, got some treats for my dogs, a freshly made slush coffee, and some hot dogs to end the walk around. I can't wait to come back to grab more fruits and veggies and flowers!
