The Wedge Community Co-op Reviews

I really like the break room in there thinking about switching to Desai hopefully they have a spot for me to transfer

I love this place! They have a nice variety of healthy food as well as 2 classrooms that you can rent for various purposes. Staff is friendly and the fresh juices are tasty, too!

Very good selection employees are helpful friendly n courteous. They have natural products that are hard to find elsewhere. I've been a member since 1990.

Great grocery store with some local, fresh options!

I love the Co op only place I feel home. Always greeted and associates are so helpful. Food is grown local, organic, lots of essential oils, vitamins that are plant based. That is my one stop shop. My children love being apart of the kids club free fruit Everytime we go.. better than whole foods trader Joe's Walmart everywhere. Only place I truly like spending my money. I commute 30 mins there at least 3 times a week. Well worth it

The coconut soft serve is good but lord help you if you get to the line at 9pm, you are not getting anything.

Great prices and good food. Very busy..parking isn't the best.

My main source of groceries. Great selection and awesome people.

Great co-op with helpful staff, a huge selection, and quality produce.

Well stocked produce of natural foods. Grass fed meats. Yummy and excellent lunch selections. Well worth a visit.

This is a great place for organic food obviously but also organic people people with character personality creativity

What a beautiful place, for reference of groceries pick this experience.

Some go sundays, super crammed, parking sucks. Good, local, fresh food

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.

They did a great job with the remodeling. It's more spacious and bright than it had been in the past. I like to get my produce here and rarely have any fruit or veg purchased from there that isn't great. The store tends toward what is in season, though you can buy a lot of standard produce as well as the exotic. Watch for the co-op deals! It pays to check the website ahead of time. The staff is helpful but not over the top (you can browse undisturbed if you choose). There is a hot bar and a selection of grab & go items. It's on the 4 bus line and not far from the 2 and the 17. The bulk aisle has some hidden gems, so it's worth taking your time to look around. The prices on some things are higher than what you'd spend at a chain, but you get what you pay for and you have more opportunities to buy local/fair trade here.

super fun local heady vibes. LOVE the diablo salsa in the refrigerated section near tortillas

Recently renovated co-operative grocery store conveniently located in Uptown.

Luv the products & hands down *the* only place to get garlic pasta theirs is the BEST...unfortunately the employees are pretty snooty, upity...booshie. : |

Love the selection, wish I didn t have to be filthy rich to do all my shopping there

Poor interaction with an employee. Teach the young ones a thing or two about customer service, please. If I ask that an ingredient not be added to my smoothie, I dont want to hear "oh you'll hardly taste it." ... I paid $7 plus taxes to get a smoothie that burned my mouth! Not going back.

Great selection of natural and organic foods. Their bulk section is well stocked with interesting lentils, legumes and grains. Plus they have a nice selection of loose leaf teas. I would not however recommend the Gluten Gree baked goods in the deli. They're disappointingly dry.

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

Lots of options for a small store. Shopping here doesn't have to be expensive. Most of the produce is competitively priced. Just some things to stay away from. Coffee bar is well priced too! Cheaper than most and super good. Plus there are deals all the time. Great spot.

grass fed red meat - meat section is on point almost all the time - street traffic is horrible though - and if you go during the summer there's always hippies having a concert outside, so bring the family.

Always a good place to go shopping for healthy food.

Aging hippie lawyers will titanium AMX cards spending 150$ on a bag and a half of groceries. I visit maybe twice a month for cheese nugs and that's it.

The wedge has a very good variety of different and unique products; the staff is very helpful and friendly. They have some of the most educated folks when it comes to supplements because they continuously educate themselves on their products. I really enjoy shopping there!

Very clean! Spice and coffee select is one of the best.

Curbside pickup just gets better every week!
Turns out the Wedge staff is so much BETTER at choosing than I AM!
Hope this service continues far into the future
Many thanks and appreciation for your caring skilled team

Super high quality produce and the staff is extremely friendly.

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 I'd have never used during one month. The staff was always very friendly. I'm 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, you're doing an outstanding job!

This place specializes in gluten-free and vegan items. It has items you won't find anywhere else in the Twin Cities. Be prepared to pay for it though...

Fantastic burritos from the cafe. Never thought to have sweet potato in a burrito before but man it's great.

High quality produce, although I would like to see more local farmers, since other local co-ops carry way more local produce at the same times of year.

A great neighborhood grocery store that emphasizes local and seasonal products. I love the hot bar addition with the remodel. Friendly, helpful staff. Some of the products can be really expensive but if you are a member you get a discount and you can also look for the Wedge Basics tags for items that are priced lower.

Love the Wedge! High quality products. Helpful staff. Always discovering new and interesting foods and products. More expensive than major chain grocery stores, but the produce, seafood and deli are not too expensive, while maintaining high quality! Worth the cost.

I can't wait to use the party room for my next event

Their prepared foods are phenomenal- including their desserts.
My favorite place to grocery shop. Since becoming a regular, everyplace that is not here makes me grouchy.

I love the wedge! The remodel is great and their bulk food section is life changing

Pricey, but mostly good products. Local feel, good bakery, great selection of special dietary foods. (Gluten free, vegan, nut free)

I have been a member for years and have shopped here since the 80's when it was in the old former 7-11. My favorite co-op in the Twin Cities. Lots of bulk items. Plenty of organic choices in every department. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff.
Be sure you stop in and see the new remodel if you haven't been in for awhile.

Great food, terrible experience. I have been going to The Wedge for years. Tonight, a manager named Kevin literally chased me out of the store, because he refused to acknowledge my clearly labeled service dog as an official service dog. I disagreed with Kevin every step of the way, and he assured me he had relatives with a service dog and condescendingly asserted that he knew the law and could ask me to leave. He vaguely mentioned the term ADA, and I encouraged him to produce any form of these vague rules he was citing as grounds to kick me out. There was a security guard standing next to us for the entire interaction leading up until 10pm when the store closed and my partner met me at the door and we left, with Kevin passive aggressively locking the door behind us with at least a dozen customers still inside.
I brought my service dog with me when I signed up to become a member, and recall absolutely zero foreshadowing about how there was apparently a significant likelihood of a "Manager on Duty" named Kevin with a Trump complex harassing me, as a member, with unsubstantiated, baseless accusations, which he then refused to allow me to refute. Apparently, I dont look like someone Kevin thinks deserves to have a service dog. He told me he had family members with real service dogs, so obviously my presence, with my service dog was an affront to his family and he behaved as if my existence was disrespectful, which I, now back in the comfort of my home, find to be hilarious since he was, at the time, disrespecting me with his harrassment. I enjoy the quality products at The Wedge, but might see how the nearby Aldi compares since I have never experienced any such harassment there.

Rude humans working here, and it s a total rip off. I mean, even by coop standards this place is expensive! People who work here are just SO judgmental... There's a reason that this is the most profitable coop in the country...

Great Coop! Lots of local and healthy products with a friendly staff and great ownership program.

Excellent place to find organics. Vegan. Glueten Free.

The Wedge is legit, because they have a lot of good, healthy options in bulk, and their non-dairy milkshakes are out of this world.

The parking area is atrocious, the food selection is hit or miss, most of the employees are pleasant, other shoppers are the rudest I have ever encountered in a grocery store in the twin cities

Lots of great fruits and veggies, friendly employees, but a bit expensive. Great place for soups and smoothies.

Rheir smoked salmon sandwich on a rise bagel os the best. So good!!!!!

Great bulk items and reasonably priced. Great produce and meats, priced pretty high. They do offer 10% discount and reduced membership for low income. Lots oh hippies, but they smell good.

Excellent quality but quite expensive. The soft serve coconut milk ice cream is a fantastic treat for those who are lactose intolerant.

If you are new to the Co-OP world check out the Wedge! You do not have to be a member to shop here, but there are benefits to membership. Additionally, the prices on many things are very reasonable for everyone, there is a great bulk section, and the hot/salad bars are great for a quick, tasty and affordable meal.

Has everything you could possibly want in a co-op. Very sophisticated, very wholesome, and shopper friendly with an amazing staff and unique products. If you are a tourist or new to town, check it out!

I love this store. It's always clean & has a friendly atmosphere. It has an excellent variety of unique food items, prepared & packaged. Also, many organic & bulk choices. Excellent meat & fish market. Very nice selection of cheeses too. And don't miss the bakery, coffee shop & fresh produce.

I wish I had a Wedge Co-Op where I lived. Went to Minneapolis with my wife to visit the city and sister in law. She introduced me to the Co-Op. I absolutely love the place! The organic food selection was amazing. Friendly staff available to help if needed. Large variety and selection of food and coffee. Bottom line, this place is awesome!

I give one star because couldn't give zero.
I really dislike this place. It's a pricey, crowded, organic, impolite environment.
Don't go there!!!!
Bunch of hippies.
Check the gas station a block south

If you re looking for local Minnesota goods this is the place for you ! Kind workers and fresh products and AMAZING coffee

Still a tight parking spot, but, always manage to find a spot. Walked in and found an avacado holder,....ya know the kind you can put that other half in so it doesn't spoil?
BONUS!!! Grabbed some hempeh and hempseed bread and out the door. Always a nice place to stop in anytime I am in the area.

Impressive array of bulk foods, gluten-free and vegan ingredients. Staff are always amazing & helpful. Excellent hours. Alt-health is not my jam, but there's a whole aisle of it.

Love this place great friendly staff love the coconut dairy free soft serve ice cream in there deli

Great prices good selection, check out the prices really better than comperible there low for a organic store kid friendly free fruit (1) peace while you shop

The Wedge is one of my favorite stores in the Twin Cities and the only place I've found where I can pick up a quick gluten-free bakery treat that actually tastes good! Great fresh variety of produce here too, and a bulk spice heaven.

We've been hoing to The Wedge for decades, and the keep getting better and better
Produce is fresh, mostly organic, with much variety in choices. Often good at introducing new and different types of veggies and fruit to customers. Fabulous hot table with many choices. Their in-house bakery is fantastic.

Great selections, very clean, staff trying hard to keep us all safe.

This place is pretty cool. A little small, but not bad. Definitely has *most* of the organic products you're wanting to buy

Great products, staff is friendly and professional, awesome bakery.

The prices are reasonable and very clean and helpful workers

Great product selection and values that support a healthier economy
