ALL the pros outweigh any cons of this place. They are super busy which does make parking annoying. But what do you expect in Uptown? I mean - come on...
They can be pretty expensive, but in all honesty and fairness, their prices are better than or equal to any other places rates for organic, local anything.

I used to frequent The Wedge when I lived in the neighborhood and things were better financially. They have an amazing bakery, vegan options, cheese section, meat section and produce. But what I really wanted to put out there was one experience in particular I had yesterday. I walked in to get a bag of bulk oats for $0.89/lb, having a lot of time, but very little money to spend (things have been rough since I had my baby 6 months ago), I was on my way to the food shelf in uptown that doesn't open until 5:00. But I saw a sign that says they accept Wic checks. I thought-there's no way they have all the Wic approved items...
But I checked and lo and behold, they had Wic approved eggs, milk, juice, produce - So I got out my checks and started shopping. They had everything I needed, except the one brand of Wic-approved black beans was out. Having a can of garbanzo beans at home already and a husband to feed who won't eat any beans at all except black beans, I asked customer service if they had any more in stock. She went to check and got a store manager to come check things out, who helped me find everything else left on my checks while we waited for her to come back. They were totally out of that one kind of beans, but they were so set on getting me helped out they just let me get a different kind and had a cashier override it for me.

THEN - The stupid oats I originally came in for messed up the purchase (Damn WIC for being so damn picky and complicated). The whole time they were trying to figure it out, they were so helpful, patient, kind and not once did I feel judged for using WIC in the first place, which happens all too often. I wish I'd thought to get their names, but they know who they are. I hope they read this.

To the staff at The Wedge - THANK YOU!!! <3
