Nice location, really busy parking but it's a parking shirt with the other businesses so we should be OK. The area is not a middle class. There is Colombian coffee with food that is very famous across the parking lot. Service at the checkout was quick, and then efficient. I will think twice before being here when it's dark.. it's very close to 94 Highway. I left my wife for two minutes to go get something from the car and someone was already someone was hitting on her, she was very nice clothes for Sunday. So the advice is not to wear pretty clothes! I must say it was a busy location for Sunday 1 PM and I was amazed how clean the place was from the inside, which is not obvious when you see the area outside . And they were well staffed and stocked except for the 85% dark chocolate that I crave. read more

Worst shopping experience of my life. Linea to the back, out of everything, and I was accused by the bald loser manager for using a cart from the hallway, because I could not get a quarter from the staff. I was confronted FOR USING A CART TO BUY THINGS, and instantly kicked out of the store. I am speechless. I hope corpererat sees this and shuts that location down. I will never shop at any Aldi's again after this experience read more

I've been to Aldis' twice, each time to stock up on produce, which I'll say is overall good. The first time I went I didn't get a shopping cart as I didn't plan on getting much. However, once everything became too much to carry, I just took one of the many empty boxes they have out (by the produce) and used that to carry my items. The second time I went I didn't have a quarter to get a shopping cart, but luckily I had reusable bags and just used that. During my first visit I got some flowers which were pretty and cheap. However, 2-3 days later (they still looked really good), I noticed a moth flying in my kitchen where the flowers were. I tossed them immediately (haven't seen a moth since). On both occasions, it was crowded and only two cashiers were open. However, they moved fast, which helped the line move quickly. On my second visit, I got what I consider a butt-load of items to juice with for $23...1.5 weeks later and I still have a few of those items, which are still good. From what I've experienced mostly everything seems to be organized with pricing visible. I feel like a lot of people (myself at one time) overlook Aldi's but so far, I'm satisfied. read more

ALDI - All this for $23 and change - Grocery Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I love my deals and food that is affordable. The only downfall about this Aldi location that I have experienced is the parking lot. If you drive here be cautious as I feel there were so many about to happen accident. So drive through here cautiously!!! This Aldi doesn't always meet my selection needs as other Aldi locations do. Aldi in general is great for gathering most of what you need for your daily cooking and snacking life. If this is closest Aldi for you then sure come. Otherwise I would recommend other Aldi locations. read more

This was the first Aldi I'd ever been to, and it was definitely a unique shopping experience. Everything is kind of haphazardly stocked, as you can tell they keep things low budget in order to keep prices low, so if you don't care about aesthetics, this place is amazing because of the price points! I got a Ben and Jerry's pint for $4. Unheard of these days. There's a decent amount of parking. Friendly staff. read more

A one time stop in with my mother who is an unabashed fan of Aldi's, I wrestled with a grocery cart for a good 3 minutes before realizing I needed to insert a quarter into it's slot...all this my mother allowed me to do, I guess because it gave her great pleasure to see when I might figure this out. Then when I did figure out a quarter needed to be inserted, I spent another 2-3 minutes trying to push the quarter in "all the way", which she allowed me to learn on my own was not going to happen. Eventually I came to terms with my situation and figured I needed to pull a peg out from the back of the coin catcher thingy...this is when she rejoiced and I grimaced back at her, for 10 others had come and gone beside me since I first attempted to glide a cart on out. Oh well, the pursuit of superiority was satisfied in her that day I guess. Aldi....a German chain, I'm told, is a place to shop for deals on food and some other products. I was impressed by the prices on their organic produce, though was disappointed there wasn't much organic produce offered. Apparently though, things here can change from week to week, and you never know when their might be sweet red grapes void of Chilean pesticides. I had to do with organic pickling cucumbers. Great price on bottled cold-pressed coffee to make those iced lattes during Minneapolis's sickly humid summers, and $4 less per bottle than what even Trader Joe's had to offer. I'm not in love with Aldi, but not sure if it was my humbling cart experience or the fact that I'd hoped for more organic produce, but my mom and sisters are convinced it's THE BEST grocery shopping experience for cereals, honey, snacks, meats and produce...since they don't yelp, I give one more star on behalf of their opinions. Selah. Oh and store policy is they don't bag for you and you need to buy a bag if you don't bring in your own. I do like that the cashiers can sit on stools. read more

I have shopped Aldi from North Dakota to Illinois to California and I've never been in one where the employees had such attitude. As you all can see their rating here is not great and just as I was told by their employees, I suggest you find a different location. Maybe the powers to be at the corporate level read this and understand that they either need to find new employees at this location or shut the store down, because as we were told we should find another location! This store is an epic fail! read more

I stopped by Aldi's for fish for fish tacos... they used to sell bagged catfish, but that has since stopped. Though i've read interesting things about Tilapia, it still makes for perfect fish tacos tho. Of course Aldi's had everything i needed to make my fish tacos.. and then some. I'm almost amazed at the things they have there. I picked up some chicken breakfast links. #kanyeshrug who knew? I always find the lines a little irritating, but this particular time, just as I joined line 6, they announced line 5 was opening. Well... what do you think i did? Yeeep.. hurried and joined line 5. I was 3rd in line and was assisted by a efficient young lady. I asked how her day was going and she was honest and simply said, "It's going." LOL Gotta respect her honesty. She actually seemed like she was having a rough day, but she was still pleasant and professional. I told her that I hope her day gets better. Security guard on duty was pleasant too. We gave a smile to one another and i decided that I liked this location. LOL Parking is harsh over here....fyi. You're literally rushing to take a spot before someone else does. read more

If you can't physically go to the store. Online shopping is the way to go. They will bring your groceries to you within a reasonable amount of time. read more

You must understand what Aldi is all about. It's about a concept diametrically opposite from what US supermarkets have followed for decades. Aldi aims to have 70-80% of items you buy from a supermarket, in only one size, with zero in-store service: all for the express goal of passing the savings on to you, the customer. They go to great lengths to keep costs low. For example, you have to insert a quarter to unlock a shopping cart. You get your quarter back only when you return the cart where you should. This means there are no floating shopping carts in Aldi's parking lot, and everyone likes that. Realize that Aldi is the market leader in Germany, and German mini-markts made it impossible to Wal-Mart to succeed there (they folded last year). Yes, rock bottom prices is what we are talking about here, 15% less than Wal-Mart. German efficiency and economy in action here. They only accept cash (or certain debit cards) to keep prices low. For those of you who don't know this, every time you swipe your card for $100, the merchant only gets $97.50. The credit card issuer/acquirer and data processing companies split the 2.5%. No wonder Wal-Mart only accepted cash for a long time. Wikipedia says that "According to a survey conducted in 2002 by the German market research institute Forsa, 95% of blue-collar workers, 88% of white-collar workers, 84% of public servants and 80% of self-employed Germans shop at Aldi." It's not just for poor people, because Germany has a higher standard of living than USA. They have a lot of convenience food like frozen vegetables, entrees and meats. They have European chocolates and cookies which are delicious and not super-sweet. They have milk and dairy section, household cleaning supplies and pet food. From time to time they get a few quirky items. Many "blind studies" have shown that Aldi's food is as good as that found in other supermarket chains. Frankly speaking, I found their frozen entrees to be far superior than the fare typical of supermarkets, and at half the price. Bottom line: Aldi cuts your grocery bill by 30% if you can accept no-frills service and bagging your purchases yourself. Buy some recyclable bags and help the environment some. I give it four stars because it is mainstream fare: no organic items and lots of additives and preservatives. No different from Cub, Rainbow, Kroger, Albertson's or Safeway, really. Don't go here expecting gourmet organic food. I probably wouldn't buy anything except staples from Aldi now that our family has gone organic, but for those of you hurting from the 50% increase in food prices over the past 3-4 years, Aldi can stretch your greenback. read more

My mom buys a lot of our groceries at Aldi now and I am extremely happy with their products even though I don't directly benefit from the cost savings since I don't pay for groceries (a benefit of living at home at the ripe age of 26). I have purchased things at Aldis and it reminds me of how the supermarkets in Spain and Taiwan looked...no fancy displays just food for sale. This is a good way to save cash. read more

I lived in Germany for while and there are a number of things I loved that I cannot find at most supermarkets, but here I can get them. I am talking about the pumpernickel bread, the cookies (especially the spekulatius), sauerkraut, peanut puffs. I also found oil preserved canned tuna and vacuum storage bags. Moreover chips, cookies, chocolate and yogurt are cheap and pretty good. I didn't tried most of the fresh or refrigerated products, so I cannot comment on that, but judging from the dry food, should be worth trying. Anyway, maybe not the biggest variety, but pretty good quality especially for the price. read more

I frequent this Aldi very often, and I must say that the area has it's highs and lows. I try and come during non-peak times for my own sanity. The food options are very consistent and in stock and the prices rarely can be beat. Michelle and the staff are very friendly and helpful and the store is always clean. The "security" could be updated or eliminated as all they do is stand there and talk to the cashiers. read more

Everything about Aldi is certainly what others probably say. It's easy to get there, the stores are well-laid out and you just can't beat the prices. With that said, yep. I won't get certain things there, usually things like meat and produce and the lines are forever long. If you have the time and look hard enough, you can usually wind up with a grocery bill about half of what it may be somewhere else. read more

masks are required in minneapolis.on a recent visit to east lake aldi i noticed a number of people not wearing a mask! i told cashier my concerns, she did not care. i then asked to see manager, she said nothing we can do. we are in a pandemic!!! read more

Horrible area, horrible rude staff, horrible service. Don't go here. Take the extra time to drive a few extra miles to go to a better area and safer neighborhood. read more

I'm here all the time. Yes it's always crowded. Yes there is usually only one register If you can get past that it's great. Bring Change. You have to deposit a quarter to rent a shopping cart. No quarter, no cart. Aldi doesn't have baskets so this is your only choice and I'll warn you the carts here almost never work. The carts either do not move and you have to get another one or are so loud everyone in the store knows where you are. I usually have a very specific list I come in get exactly what I need and leave to avoid the creepy people in here. I literally had a dude reach into my reusable bag once while I was in line. Also be ready for the cashier to search your bag if you have a backpack or bags. You'll need to bag your own items on a long shelf near the checkout line. Aldi doesn't give away bags and if you forget yours be ready to pay 10 cents per bag. Aldi is pretty awesome with most of their food I'll be the first to admit I previously tended to shop brand-name because I was picky about how generic products tasted in comparison. The good news is that the items I now buy at Aldi taste just as good, and even better. There are a couple things here that are a bit bland and you will need to spice it up ,but who cares when the prices are so cheap. Aldi doesn't take credit cards, so you'll either need to use cash or a debit card. I give this place 5 stars because I save literally hundreds a month by shopping here. read more

Just as advertised. The prices are always cheaper than any of the other grocery stores, and quality at or above. Yes, there are a lot of packaged and processed/prepared foods, but also great healthy choices, especially with great fruit and vegetable prices and selection. With only one of each item, and prices I know are the cheapest in town, I can whiz through the store and be done shopping in 20 minutes. However, there is usually a wait at the cashier checkout, and you have to bring your own bags, otherwise pay for bags. I always bring my own bags, so this last issue is not a problem, but the cashier wait averages about 3-5 minutes or more. Except for that, I would give it a 5/5 stars. I also keep going back and buy the better and healthier stuff, thinking this will lead to more of the same. The Aldi stores I visited in Europe had much more interesting and varied selections, especially cheeses, but I am seeing this more and more in the USA stores as well. FYI - Aldi also owns Trader Joe's, which they purchased over 10 years ago. read more

My first time at aldi was a great experience! I HATE grocery shopping, most stores are so big and everything is so expensive. Aldi was great because it's big enough to have most items you need yet small enough that it's not overwhelming like most grocery stores. This is definitely my new go to grocery store! read more

I love shopping at Aldi's because the store is almost as small as a conveinence store but with excellent prices and enough variety for me. I miss the store being open at this location. The ever changing varieties of cheese really help bring me back to this location. Smoked cheeses are very very reasonably priced. I even had instacart.com deliver to me from this store when the snow was deep this winter. The help is always very helpful while the lake street store can be a hassle. read more

It's a solid 3 stars. I went on a Monday around lunchtime and it was pretty quiet with easy, offstreet, free parking. It kind of reminded me of shopping at Big Lots, for some reason. I like this because they have things/brands that other grocery stores don't have. I didn't quite understand the cart situation so I opted to not get one and then found myself struggling because I had too much. Overall, the grocery store is very good and has plenty of food at decent prices. For example, I bought some (dry) salad dressing packets (ranch, italian) and baking soda for $0.49, white vinegar for $0.79, frozen garlic/cheese toast for $1.59, Gyro kit for $7.29, flavored cashews (10 oz) for $4.69 and almonds (12 oz) for $5.99. The nuts are comparable to prices at Target/Trader Joes so I wouldn't get again. This store didn't have the one thing I needed (#4 coffee filters). Unfortunately, I'll probably stick with Target and then supplement with Lunds, Whole Foods and Trader Joes bc I like specific things at each and will pay the minimal extra for carts and food to be bagged for me. I'd probably choose this over Cub though... read more

bad customer service never keep up with produce i wish i dont waste my time to go there

I love Aldis. Cant beat the price. Yes you do have to sacrifice the luxuries of customer service, but I would gladly do that to save money. I easily find many things I use there. I do wish they would restock the vegetables more however. read more

This place basically have everything which you look for in any grocery store. They sell their own brands items, these are nothing less than other known brands. There policy on carts helps keeping the store less crowded. Their policy on carry bags somewhat helps environment too, it promote people to use reusable grocery bags. Cashiers move lines faster. read more
