Good tasting food, fresh meat, local cheese, great coffee bar, delicious pastries (except for the gluten free scone, it tastes like you're eating a stick of butter coated in baking soda), great variety of food for people of all types of diet restrictions. A little pricey for people who are low income, you can definitely only go there for a treat. A rotisserie chicken is about $12 but it's cage free and organic in comparison to the Walmart chicken $5 that's pumped full of hormones and sodium. The plus is that buying from the Wedge you are supporting local farmers and companies.

An gorgeous, friendly co-op with a lot of local goods, organic produce, ready to eat food, a small but well curated gift section, and floral section (complete with air plants and mini ferns). Tons of bulk goods including spices, oil, nuts, grains, granola, soaps, etc. They sell kombucha starter as well. Try the keto granola!

I think the wedge is good but the 600 pounder at the customer service desk couldn't even stand up to answer questions I had so I had to speak loud so he could hear me and answer my question he made me not want to buy anything because I lost my appetite

This is one of the oldest co-ops in the Twin Cities. They are dedicated to providing local produce, and supporting local people. They have the best greens And the widest selection of fruits, anywhere in the Twin Cities.

Sprouted tofu burgers are the health nut bomb. Nice fresh herbal selection including fresh basil. You should see their tea selection it is right next to the coffee though, a crowded place that sometimes caters to its members. Prices seem to rise constantly and do agree that customers as well as employees can be disagreeable considering we should all be able to eat organically free from mother earth. Should I call this the Yuppie Organic Attitude or the Yuppie Orgy Attitude? I don't know?

Vegetarians! Stop here for a quick bite (the Popcorn Tofu Po'boy is amazing) or get some great groceries. They have a lot of veg or vegan options, and most of their options are organic/sourced better/etc; think like a better Whole Foods.

Parking is a little tight so it's probably best to walk or bike if you can, but if not the easiest way to park is to drive north up Lyndale and park in their back lot just past 22nd St.

Wedge is awesome like Chipotle that is committed to Healthy Eating.
A good organization that cares about you and I.
Not the bottom dollar, although you would think that co-ops would be cheaper since they use less production and less chemicals in food processing.
Like Farm to table: why is natural foods so spendy? when the process of bringing raw goads to the market is easier than spraying stuff with Chemicals.

The staff are very kind and helpful, but the store has essentially been ruined by the recent Renovations. The only positive change from renovating is the new back exit by the cafe.

The food at the deli is kind of gross. I'm open to trying new things and I'm not a picky eater--I believe the flavor combinations are just not right here. 'Miso veggie sandwich'?--me so sad I ordered that because it was gross, as was my husband's burrito bowl.. What's wrong with a simple veggie melt? You could make it more unique with better flavor combinations such as chutney and Brie, or sprouts and a spreadable cheese, for a few examples. They kindly reimbursed me for the bad eats, so, again, the staff are phenomenal.

This place is far too expensive (and busy) and there are a lot of tempting, frivolous purchases everywhere, so get your organic produce, meat and dairy, and get the hell out!

Signing up for the members account is super worth it because you get a small discount every visit. You pay once or in installments and your a member for life with no renewal fees. Food is fresh, in fact that's the only place I shop to get my meat products.

This "organic co-op grocer" has been around for a very long time and as of late went through a remodel. I love the fact that you can get really great meats and cheeses that are portion controlled making the prices vary depending on how much you want. Very nice hot food bar and salad bar at around $8 a pound.

Obsessed with the Wedge. I love the wide variety of bulk items including spices and herbs!! Produce quality is superior. It s nice to shop and know that you don t have to worry about comparing the quality and honesty of the produce and packaged groceries in the store.

Being from Boulder Colo I am well familiar with the small co-op organic market vibe. I have lived and traveled all over the world and I can say this: WEDGE CO-OP IS THE BEST market I have ever shopped. The quality of staff and product are just amazing. The produce and meat, bakery and grocery are just hands down the best in the TC and in my opinion the country. Also a word on their member benefits are incredible. At Mississippi Market you have to bring in paper coupons which is arduous and time consuming. At Wedge the coupons are electronic. This is a big deal. Thank you for being in the 21st. Century.

Great place for lunch. Great quality, whole foods....the hot bar is awesome. The bakery is easily one of the best in the Twin Cities.

Cons: you pay dearly. Some items are *seriously* overpriced (produce and bakery especially). You will occasionally get unwarranted attitudes from the staff.

I am a long term 0wner-member. This is the most profitable grocery store per square foot in American. About ten years back I was sahopping for sushi ingredients. Some could be found at Lund's, others at Kowalski's, a few at Cub and Target. The Wedge was the only store on the near south-side that had everything I was looking for.

I wish I lived closer to this co-op! It is amazing. So much produce and bulk products and made-to-order options!

My one complaint is that it isn't very intuitively laid out, so it can get a little congested.

Eat fresh, eat local! Since beginning a member years ago, i cannot express enough gratitude to the helpful staff and the appreciation to all the care that is put into operating such an amazing business! Thank you. (:

I regret using this store a little more after every visit. I m unsure what use the is the cashier. They ring up the items, push your food sloppily down towards the bags where you must bag them yourself. There is no greeting from the cashier, who passes as a teenager. Minimal eye contact. Even less effort, in an overtly apathetic manner. This store should consider self checkout for cheaper production and drop the angsty-youth vibe or hire older adults who would love to have a job and treat the customer with common courtesy. They do have grass-fed beef that is reasonably priced, though.

I hadn't been here in years but it's much nicer now than it used to be. It can be a pain to get in and out of the parking lot depending on the time of day. Prices are about what you expect at a co-op but I was surprised to see they had some pretty good sales going on. I actually made it out of there feeling like I got a pretty good deal.

I live right across the alley from the wedge, every time I go to cross the alley or to take out my trash I almost get hit by a car coming out of the wedge parking lot that decided to take the alley instead of the main road. I have expressed the issue to management and been told they will put up a sign warning motorists to drive slow in the alley stop for pedestrians yet nothing has been done. Also the delivery trucks stop in the alley to unload blocking the gate to my apartment building and blocking it off to motorists and residents they should be parking in the lot to unload not the alley and if they must stop in alley don't block the gate to a building. It's a fire Hazzard. They call them self's a community co-op but they could care less about the community.

Great selection. Some stuff I can't find at Eastside (my go-to co-op). Their meat case is frickin' amazing.
Only thing I don't like is that a lot of things seem to be more expensive than Eastside.
Oh well. They have the flour that I want and they carry the extra strong ginger ale so I'll keep making the trek out here. And I'll probably keep finding things that I can't seem to find anywhere else.
