The best natural food coop in the Twin Cities with a large selection of bulk food, spice, herb items and a wonderful beverage-coffee shop as well as local fresh meat and organic meat. I only wish the neighborhood was safer. Perhaps this will start to turn around after this last election.

The prices are ridiculous. Everything is the same. I would never waste my money here again. You can get the same things at trader Joes all these Aldi, for a fraction of the cost.

Staff tried to be helpful but didnt know the store well. They are also a little pricey. Many of the items i looked for they didnt have in stock, so I ended up leaving empty handed. Not likely to return unless Im desperate because its in my neighborhood.

I absolutely love The Wedge!!! This Co-op has local and organic foods at a reasonable rate especially when you sign up to be a member you get discounts through out the store including the Juice bar which serves more than juice, but there are also health and wellness drinks, tonics, shots and smoothies all organic. I have been a member for 5 years and I absolutely love it there.

Two words Quality and Wholesome. This place is on the pricey side of things. But, Quality and Wholesome food is what you getting. But being a Co-op member has its benefits so sign up and get cool discounts and perks.

Review №25

This co-op grocery is one of best. The atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming! Wedge believe less in pre-packaged foods, which gives me freedom of adjusting the size of each grocery item I am purchasing. It is like opposite to bulk buying without sacrificing cheap prices, I live alone so I tend to need less than average size. They have great plant-based options for vegan shoppers. Most fresh produce are organic, yummy and healthy!They have a cute section of gifts and cards. I am often tempted to overbuy groceries and stuffs from this wonderful shop! They practice pandemic safety precautions well.

Updated: from 4 to 2 stars.Shopped an almost $500 order on 7/25/2021 at 9am and received the worst checkout Service. The order was 2 full carts. The Cashier was not very welcoming. I didn’t not receive any courtesy help and was not even asked seeing how large the order was! Nells curt indifference is what made me update my review. I’ve shopped here many times before and have never been treated this way.

Review №27

My coop of choice, always affordable to buy in bulk and always has the latest in plant based finds and goodies! The people are always so kind and helpful and knowledgeable as well. The take out food is always delicious, cravable and fresh. Sometimes we cant help but go out to eat here for a date night. Ha ha ha. Coming from Duluth we didnt have to renew our membership as often and for the higher price I dont feel that necessary here, for me personally with a two person household, living on a budget. However no hate on the membership, the deals are great, and I can see it as a good thing for some people! Thank you for doing you -- Wedge! Appreciate ya.

The Wedge Co-op has led the way in supporting unionization, the store is bright and warm and well-stocked, the variety from basics to luxuries is almost breathtaking, and theyre definitely doing a fine job of maximizing safety for both their welcoming and astute workers, and their customers....(neither of which they could exist without!)... during these pandemic times.I love that they still support a big bulk selection, which is much more intelligently organized than some, and their variety in general, is the best I have seen in any Co-op in the U.S.!

Review №36

Started producing less waste and the wedge was the only place where I could find bulk pastas and the widest variety of items for bulk purchase. You can bring your own jars or purchase from their selection. Milk bottles can be returned and bread has a cabinet like system so there are many types of bread to buy in bulk.By the way, these fruit slices are ADDICTIVE.

I stayed in Minneapolis for 3 months a frequented Wedge weekly. I was blown away by their organic fruits and vegetables. I am from down south and had never seen a place like this. We would go and buy 5 different kinds of fresh ground coffee and taste test all week. I was also fond of their tiny cheese samples you could buy. We had several charcuteries made possible by Wedge!

I love this place, but I love most coops, however what stands out here is the lovely selection of bulk, all types of ingredients including coffee, syrups and honeys, nuts, flowers, teas, all sorts of spices. Especially when you don’t use an ingredient a lot, it’s nice to just pick up a little bag of it. Also the coffee prices in the bulk sections are amazing.

Love the wedge. The location is a deterrent because of the traffic and being cut off fro. Entering and exiting. Maybe another way some how to do that on a less busy street

It took me a while to warm up to this community and I finally joined. There are plenty of good sales and discounts to offset the high prices. They also have a program to reduce food prices if one relies on EBT. The people in each of the departments will go out of their way to help you find what you want. This is a topnotch cooperative and is well worth several visits until you become familiar. I think you will like it!

I was staying in Minneapolis only for a month but that was enough to fall in love with Wedge Co-op. An amazing selection of local products and ready-to-eat food. Everything that I tried there was so delicious (chicken pot pie, corn cheese chowder, chicken pesto quesadilla, almond vanilla granola...). I also loved that I could buy as much flour, sugar or organic coffee as I needed, not a 2lb pack Id have never used during one month. The staff was always very friendly. Im going back to NY now and I will really miss this store. It makes me want to move to Minnesota :) thank you for building this community, youre doing an outstanding job!

Best groceries available with noticeably better taste and quality than other grocery stores. Its a bit more expensive, but thats the price for ethically sourced, mostly organic food. Theres also numerous package-free options, including a bulk spice section.

Review №54

I remind myself when shopping at the Wedge Co-op that I am paying to create and sustain the kind of world in which I want to live. If like my food to be fresh, as local as possible, and I want to feel like someone has supported, vetted, and vouches for the producers.The Wedge does that for me.Sure its more expensive than chain grocery stores, which are filled, aside from conventional produce, with artificially cheap processed food if little interest to me.Additionally, I love that the Wedge owns the Midwest distribution system for Co-op Partners Warehouse, which increases the market for local, sustainable producers.

Review №55

Great place to shop for seriously high quality organic food!! The bakery is amazing, and I love how they have little things of cheese in plastic wrap for like 70 cents. Its pretty cool. But the selection of kombucha and produce is the best in the area for sure. Bring your own bags though, it really helps. The staff is also VERY nice. I visit this place at least once or twice a month.

Very friendly staff and an nice array of organic, dairy free, and go vegan options.The produce is what they are known really well for, and their bulk items (fill up on $_ per pound oats, nuts, candy, etc) are based on some pretty good bulk pricing! Nice selection for bulk items as well!Deli, cheese counter, and coffee shop counter sell really good products. And they typically have a hot bar that sells really great to-go meals! ❤️

Always a few options available for on-sale produce that’s super fresh. Lots of organic produce. Canned & grocery options are decent prices. Selection of prepared food options is better than other co-ops. Fresh meat has excellent selection—grassfed and corn-finished beef, organic and free range chicken, and locally/regionally-produced sausage, bacon, etc. since I’ve been cooking for a lot of family during Covid, meat selection helps me vary our meals! Always excellent customer service

Was super disappointed in my stop there tonight. I’m pregnant and with covid around, I’ve been trying to shop at places I feel are safer with the current climate. Normally the wedge does really well. They’re strict with masking and letting only a certain amount of people in at a time. Tonight was different. There was no line or person watching the door and it was actually pretty busy. Then I personally watched a man with his mask pulled all the way under his chin go up to 3 different employees and ask them questions. Not one of them asked him to put his mask on.

Ja
Review №71

The employees there are extremely pretentious and self righteous, as well as very passive aggressive... its really uncomfortable going in there because the people actin like theyre better ?.. and it feels like theyre in a cult haha a health food cult... i think they need to relax a little bit theyre super up tight and rudee, like chill its a grocery store... kinda embarrassing to think youre above people cuz u work at a grocery store...

Review №72

I got in line at 3PM on a Saturday. The woman in line ahead of me gave me an attitude about keeping six feet apart (which I totally was), but the employee at the front of the line had zero time for her attitude. They are only allowing 50 people in at a time, and due to the current events, they closed at 4PM today. I was able to get most of whats on my list within the 15 minutes that I had to shop, and the woman working the express lane was very friendly. I would like to come back here on a less chaotic day when I can really take my time and browse their selection, but until then, I appreciate them being open because they were the only grocery open in the neighborhood this weekend. Stay safe, Minneapolis!

Review №77

First I will advise you to dial down your sense of entitlement, you are not the only ones who had to brave the pandemic to earn a living. It also helps to give your employees a certain degree of autonomy- I don’t have to discuss with everyone up in the chain of command just to make sense of a simple transaction. Just because I am not a member of your cult and doesn’t look like your primary clientele ....

Review №78

One of the best grocery store/coops in the TC area, but lets face it, we have an abundance of great coops here. I would especially praise their butcher shop. Their chicken is outstanding and reasonably priced. Also, I will not buy spices anywhere else. The same amount of oregano you pay anywhere from $3 to $5 for in any regular grocery store costs less than a buck and is much fresher.

Review №93

I am in the vulnerable group with respect to the virus and showed up this Tuesday at 8:00 to shop at The Wedge on Lyndale. I am concerned that I ran into numerous problems with social distancing in the store. People were simply not keeping apart from one another, often passing me shoulder to shoulder. My first clue that things were not secure was when three of us were allowed to enter the store directly adjacent to one another. There were clusters of shoppers and employees in the bulk area, making it impossible for me to secure items I wanted without being in proximity to others. I ended giving up shopping in the bulk area. Even as I maneuvered down isles, I ran into employees stocking shelves, sometimes making it impossible to keep a desirable distance.This is remarkably different from my experience at another store last week, and I am disturbed that the Wedge has not worked out a more effective arrangement. A friend of mine has just revealed that she got out of the Wedge as quickly as possible. That was my reaction, and I am intending to put off future visits unless I know things have changed to better protect people like me.

Review №98

Manager threatened to call the police on me because he didn’t like my tone when I said I did not need to go to the express lane. Said I was “combative.” I’m all for helping people check out quickly, but the employees shout “Sir! Sir! sir! from across the store, and it’s just annoying. It’s one thing if I’m 4 feet away from the express and I’m 5th in line. But to have 3 people tell me about the express lane when I’m perfectly content being next in line, and employees are sneaking up right behind me and getting my attention, it’s awkward and weird. I simply pointed that out, and the next thing I know, the manager is saying “you have to use a more pleasant tone next time you’re here.” I told him I disagree, and he threatens to call the cops. This place is so politically charged, I thought they would be against unnecessary police intervention. I didn’t call anyone names, didn’t do anything threatening. Just had an opinion and a “tone” the manager didn’t like. The customer doesn’t have to have any kind of tone to shop at a business, especially when they aren’t causing any harm. And he had the nerve to call me “buddy.” This place is horrible, and I’ve never received any kickback from the membership I signed up for 2 years ago. Never ever shop here.

Review №99

Old time member of this coop. Very good selection of lots of health food. They abide by 7 coop principles. Produce, mostly organic, always fresh and tastefully laid out. Downside: prices are quite high. Quality is good though, and theyre great about taking most things back if not satisfied. They have needs based program. That translates 10% of on any purchase, every single shopping trip. Membership is much cheaper for needs based. Its honor system, you dont have to prove to anybody you are entitled to it, just quick paperwork and you have completed the process. The managers are great, and the staff very knowledeable. Also, member only specials always going on; for example, just about every week there are member only discounts.
