So I posted the following review for the Shoreview location and since I also shop here, I feel the…read moresame. You know, I was going to give this place 4 stars because the parking sometimes sucks. But seriously. Should I really be that petty??? So I made a mental list of the pros and cons. Inexpensive flowers? Check! Decent selection of produce? Check! A frozen aisle of items that make you go hmmm? Check! Plus they do the occasional sampling of something and it usually pretty good. Also, they OWN the self branded kick ass condiment market. The fried onion in pepper oil? Wow! The elote dip for chips? Can't get that shit in my mouth fast enough! The green bottle of jalapeño cream sauce? I will drown my eggs with that stuff! Plus the people that work there are all pretty awesome while dealing with us, the general public, who are in the grand scheme of things pretty f'n irritating. Honestly there is more but you get the point. Not worth knocking a star just because parking can sometimes be difficult.

I've read that TJs all over pick places that have challenging parking but this one wins for the worst situation I've yet encountered at a TJs. Once we made it into the parking garage it was super easy to get inside and find what we needed. Overall this location is well stocked and had everything we needed. Upgrade the parking and this is a five star grocery store for me.

So we thought we'd try the coupons and come back. They had nothing that was on coupon. I asked the first guy and he said I can't find the girl so stand here and wait for the first gal you see and she can help you. I walked through the store, finally found a gal working . Asked her about a item and she said nope we don't have those. I asked if they have a rain check or a substitute. She looked at me and said neither. Great customer service. Good job Dick market should have never sold. Wow what a difference. You're better off going to Walmart. Better customer service.

Absolutely the worst Aldi in the history of Aldi's. I felt…read moreextremely sick, i just got out of dialysis. I felt extremely weak, like i was going to faint. The guy calls "NEXT" i am not ready as i had to text my girlfriend to make sure that i grabbed everything. So i went to self checkout, normally i never go to these as its packed, but This man literally stopped taking people and went and grabbed my items and said that i attempted to "steal". I doubled back like "what did you say?" And he continued to tell me that im stealing the meat. He did not let me make my payment, which was with 2 DIFFERENT CARDS. You old white a-hole. He had a receding hairline, its always the people with no hair, holding on to a little bit of hair that they have left, I literally have more than enough to pay $5.99 and $1.25 for the items. lol he really just sat there and embarrassed the living hell out of me. Mind you i have a big chain on, i swear thats why he picked me out. clearly this loser cannot afford to pay for a chain. I felt like he picked me out specifically because i was the only non-white person there. That is not how you approach someone, someone needs to seriously talk to that old man, get some rogaine or something. Im normally very nice, but this man really left a bad taste in my mouth. I wish i got his name, i would make it my mission to do his wife and daughters. And thats IF he has them, no hair havin ass person. & then he has the nerve to say "dont come back here or i will call the cops" Im SILENT through it all because i dont feel well, and i didnt want to argue with him. First off, douchebag, i can go WHEREVER i please, you cannot legally call the cops on me, i didnt do anything. But thats fine, its literally thousands of other stores i can buy hamburger meat and bread from. I wont EVER be going back to this aldi, because if i see that man? Ufff its a bad day for him. Its very diverse, so i dont understand why he picked me out, i literally have 15k on JUST my neck. I can afford hamburger meat. Smh this is sad human being. If i wasnt so sick? I would have told him to go fk hisself. He need to worry about his hair, and ugly ass glasses. The crazy part is He probably makes no more than $30,000 a year, i wont even stoop to his level in all honesty. Working for a supermarket thats considered "cheap" and thats how you feed yourself? Assuming that you have a family, thats how you feed your children??? Pathetic old man, He just ruined my day with his lowlight depressing self. And since you pulled that? I stole ketchup, and i stole a juice. now go do your inventory and put that on there, jackass!!! I hate old white men, its always something with them. They want authority over you because when they was younger someone like me made sure to make there life hell.

I truly applaud what they've built. Now Kowalski's are all over the place. However. They are by far the most expensive grocery store in the Twin Cities. If that doesn't bother you then this is your place. The ambience is wonderful. The stores are beautiful. They have a Starbucks counter inside if you like coffee. They have quite a large deli. You can get an entire meal ready to go. I've tried these and they are quite nice. And they're not horribly priced. They have a large assortment of specialty items from pastries to candy to Kowalski branded just about anything. The service is spotty. Sometimes it's good and sometimes not so good. Sometimes you can stand at The deli counter for what seems forever while people go back-and-forth ignoring you. Other times they're very helpful. The parking lot is not very big compared to other stores so parking can be a problem. It just depends what time of day you go. They have an attached but separate liquor store for wines and spirits. It is a very nice shopping experience and they do have a lot of wonderful specialty items you won't find anywhere else. However, be prepared to pay the price. They've been around for something like 50 years so they must be doing something right.

This layout seems different from Lake Street, North Loop, and Edina. I don't know what to say in terms of size. It seems pretty big and even on a Sunday afternoon, was not a mess - the shelves were stocked and the staff were friendly. I was only there for some vegetables, but not only was I able to find ample options for what I wanted, the general condition and inventory of their produce area was very good. Often times, produce is picked over and need of replenishing. Defs recommend. It is also right off 394 and there is plenty of parking.
