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.

Really nice Trader Joe's location in St. Paul. Only thing that I didn't love was the parking. I…read moremistakenly missed the entry and then thought I could enter on the other side, while it turns out there is only one way in so I had to drive all over to get back to the correct side of the road to enter. 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.

Yes yes I still feel very strongly about loving HyVee…read more TOP quality FRUITS and vegetables -- bananas especially tasty and last almost a full week BIG daily restocked selection of nice green generous sized fruit. LOVE love SUMO ORANGES - - my most favorite of all fruit. We lived last 5 years in Florida ( moved back to MN in January) and had incredible fruit / became enamored especially with the deep especially juicy rich flavor of the Sumo orange. There's nothing like them. Now can't eat other oranges- - nothing compares, highly addictive! Amazing with bananas and sweet pineapple cut up and eaten with 4 % milk fat cottage cheese with a generous teaspoon of mayo on top of the cottage cheese. Amazing! Fresh fruit and fresh veggies provide our bodies with the VERY best nutrients and vitamins of all other food groups. Steaming not boiling veggies also preserve the highest level of vitamins. ( Dad was a Prof of Biochemistry at a med school.). We are basically what we eat. Fresh meat fresh chicken fresh seafood cooked at home are the most nutritious way of eating . Vitamin A found in the greatest level in fresh apricots and beet green tops helps fight and prevent cancer. Lunds is a gorgeous store but way way too expensive for me. Target is a great option for super low prices but stock/ variety are VERY limited and fruits veggies are extremely limited/ manhandled a lot by customers. Flavor is lacking in potatoes yams and in a lot of Targets fruit which is picked when green. Target runs after the cheapest resource. Their quality is not great. Then CLEANLINESS is essential to me. HyVee aces this. I love the WIDE spacious aisles, the extremely high ceilings and non glaring softer lighting. Thus you have a calmer more relaxed ambiance - - rare today in grocery stores. I come EVERY week here. Their daily sales on beef chicken and pork in special cases, some seasoned thus ready to cook, are excellent FRESH QUALITY! GREAT SALE PRICES too. Their homemade giant variety of FRESH BRATS are pure heaven - - cheddar and original are my FAVORITES! Their " drug store". Cosmetics Liquor store and kitchen dining products are beautiful with a wonderful selection. GIANT selection of tiny hand held liquor bottles at $.99 each too! ENJOY!!!!!!

I remember when I was a kid when Jim and Anne bought a rundown red owl and renamed it after…read morethemselves. It has come an awful long way since those humble beginnings. 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.

Plenty of parking. The store is super clean and the shelves are well-stocked. I agree with some…read moreother reviewers that the prices are high, but given the caliber of brands and high quality items, it is what it is. Out of all the sections in Kowalski's, we loved the artisan cheese & the bread sections the most. What a feast for both the eyes and the nose!!! There is nothing better than being able to select ingredients for a meal with all your senses, and that's what's missing at 75% of markets where everything is mass produced and vacuum sealed to last for eons. The staff were also very welcoming and helpful. If only we had Kowalski's in NW WI. . . {sigh}

I also love that they have their own Starbucks inside and a great area to eat or drink your coffee. I also love that they give back to the community that they're located in. Nothing but positive things to say about this store!

The exact same fixtures are still in the exact spots. Ha. I think it was mostly Asian food but there were some other ethnic foods offered. I visited around 5pm on a week day and there were only a couple things available at the hot deli (6 pieces of fried chicken for $4!!). Half of the store seems to be bulk purchases? There's a sign that says restaurant supply so I'm not sure if that's only open to specific buyers. This will probably become my go to International store.

I got a large matcha latte with double matcha and oat milk, and it was only around $5 which is a great deal. The matcha is unsweetened and tasted so fresh, the barista made my drink great. I will say it looks like they are only open 7-11 am on weekdays I believe so it's better to stop by in the morning. There was some nice seating areas but I had to leave, id be interested in coming back to sit and read a book. There was no wait when I got there and my drink was made quickly, there is also lots of free parking in the lot.

I will try to return the rest tomorrow, but what an inconvenience. Also, at the self checkout, melons had no barcode to scan so I had to flag down the person working this area who was chatting with cashiers. I don't get this store.
