I love Trader Joe's. I can spend time casually looking at products that I can't get in Canada. I tend to come to Trader Joe's to get items that I can enjoy in my hotel room when I grow tired of the same breakfast items offered or need a snack. It also allows me to get some lunch items for when I'm working in my hotel room and may not have a chance to fetch lunch. I had oddly never been to this store in Bloomington until recently. It was roughly fifteen minutes by car from the hotel where I was staying. There was plenty of parking at around 7:30 pm on a Monday night. I had 1.5 hours of shopping left before the store closed, so I made the best of it. I recently learned about its flavoured sparkling water. It's so good. I've only had the raspberry. I do need to branch out and try other flavours, but I love the raspberry so much that I can't part without getting a bottle. If I could bring back succulents, I would. The selection at this store is awesome, as are the roses and other plants. I find that lemons are much cheaper here than at Hy-Vee. Same goes with celery juice compared to what you'd pay at Target. I also like getting roasted seaweed. So addictive! My usual staple is getting potstickers. Both the chicken and pork are authentic. They also heat up nicely in the microwave. I did branch out and got new items. The mushroom ravioli with sauce was excellent. I also enjoyed a bag of freeze-dried strawberries, which makes me feel like I'm an astronaut wannabe. I had an efficient older man at the cashout. He was meticulous packing everything into a paper bag. His skills were impressive. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was good. I thanked him and left with my goodies. I need to remember to drop by this location more often. I typically visit the Eagan and Rochester stores, depending on what I'm doing. This one was great. I need to add this one to my store rotation. (63)

Trader Joe's is my favorite local grocery store, and Bloomington isn't my usual location, but I've been there several times and really like their store. There's a big parking lot in the front, so even when it gets crazy busy as Bloomington usually does, I've never had an issue parking there. Their goods here are always so fresh and I swear I pick up something new each time I visit. I always refer to the Fearless Flyer each month to see what products they roll out, and they never disappoint. Some of my must-haves at Trader Joe's are their ginger turmeric tea, lamb vindaloo, broccolini, beautiful flowers and succulents, tortillas, and pasta imported straight from Italy. The one thing about this Trader Joe's is that the items I want are sometimes out of stock. It seems to happen more frequently here than when I visit other TJ's. It may just because Bloomington has so many people coming and going all the time, and that's understandable given where this store is located.

Don't be fooled. This is a pretty average grocery store, I thought based on the cafe the grocery…read morestore would provide more European offerings but that didn't affect my visit. Honestly it felt like a slightly more affordable Lunds- same kind of set up and not overly huge like a Cub or Hyvee. I saw a couple of flavors of items I don't see at my normal grocery store which was nice. We ended up getting sparkling water that we had never seen before. While we didn't interact with any employees (self check out) I noticed there were a lot of them. I'll definitely be back when I have more time and I'm actually looking to buy groceries. I could see this becoming a regular stop on the way home if our grocery delivery forgot something. I recommend checking it out and if you have time stop and eat in the cafe- that's what will get you in the door! Plus, I can't think of a better way to grocery shop than filling up on Scandinavian pancakes beforehand.

They have a really nice layout. Also, there is a fully stock (and might I say awesome) olive bar that is right up in the front area and I definitely stocked up. They have everything you could want and dream of in a grocery store, they have great meat selection and also everything is fresh and clean. I like how they have upper end options for things but also lower end options if that is what you are in to.. just love the options. There is self checkout that is nice and I appreciate being able to check yourself out when you aren't always feeling like human interaction. I live so close to here so definitely will be back!

I ordinarily shop at my neighborhood Kowalski's at 54 th and Lyndale Avenue South which used to be Red Owl (are you old enough to remember Red Owl?). My neighborhood Kowalski's is small (intimate when you are trying to pass someone in a lane), dark, and sometimes stock is limited. The Kowalski's at Southdale is overwhelming. It is large, well lighted and well stocked. I felt like a refugee from a third world country. We decided to pick up lunch. In addition to Kowalski's superb soups they had a pho/ramen bar. I was dubious as I love pho at Vietnamese restaurants but this wasn't bad definitely tasted like pho. There were many other choices for prepared food to take out. We bought a few things and as is typical of Kowalski's the staff were friendly and helpful. There is parking at the entrance and they will carry your purchases to your car. I doubt I will drive all the way to Southdale for my regular shopping but I must say I was overwhelmed in a positive sense.

I first stoped by during the Rediscover Southdale event, and boy was I impressed! This Kowalski's…read moreis awesome. It's beautifully laid out, well-stocked and well-organized, and is full of delicious things and helpful staff to connect you with said delicacies. Located in Southdale Mall, this is pure convenience for both your regular grocery shopping AND snacks on the go. They've got an amazing selection of ready-to-eat items, including a ramen bar (those exist!), a salad bar, a grill, and pizza. The store is clean, bright, and welcoming with an upscale feel. I definitely recommend visiting if you're at the mall. It's a bit out of the way for me to replace my regular grocery store, but I would probably pick it over the food court these days. Bonus: they have awesome coffee!

There are so many moments where I am worried that I am being watched to be kidnapped. I'm not sure why this specific location is so dicey, but it is. It's not clean, it is not organized and the individuals that work there do not care at all. Customer service does not exist at this store. Finally, major complaint, but I do not like the fact that Sam's Club and Walmart do not allow tap to pay. It is extremely inconvenient, keep up with the rest of the world and replace the machines dang it! I will avoid this place at all costs.

But what do you expect.. it is a Walmart located in a higher crime area.... if you want a clean Walmart store, go somewhere else. Low prices? the prices in this Walmart aren't exactly the lowest - (there's no competitor nearby, where one usually finds lower prices if a competitor is nearby) But, it is a Walmart and if you actually need something, it is a store, just be careful. The video cameras in the parking lot aren't there for no reason - this is a high crime area Walmart..
