Valley Natural Foods Reviews

Small store but a nice selection of natural & organic items. Delicious deli.

Great food, but the priciest of the TC co-ops, and it shows. I feel like a dork not driving a BMW SUV in the parking lot. Affordable doesn't need to be walmart-y. Checkout POS's are nearly chin-height for me, I can't imagine having to go there in a wheelchair (RO water dispenser is worse). I'm glad it seems busier than it used to, but going the 'hip' route never really works. Co-ops are *the* way to go for traditional shopping, but If I have an option, I go to one of the more accessible ones.

I'm all about co-ops but I will avoid going back to this one. The layout makes no sense and the doorways are really tight. They don't have basic gluten free and dairy free items. The deli and bakery don't seem to appeal to the gluten free or dairy free costumer either.

Great store, friendly staff and if they don't have what you are looking for they will try to get it.

THE WORST SMOOTHIE I've ever had.... I couldn't go back to tell them which is also just as bad....

Great pricing, product quality, good selection of items they carry, knowledgable customer service, fast chekout

This is a good organic place. Really nice vegis and fruit. Big deli and organic meats. Big selection of essential oils and vitamins, green powders and that sort of thing. Clean. Definitely will be back. Pricey but so is any organic store.

Valley's is awesome. I wish we had one where I lived but I also visit when I am in town. It is clean, affordable, friendly, and has many specialty items I use.

Great produce, friendly staff, and they always seem to have the thing I didn't know I needed.

I love this place. Organic produce. Good prices that actually beat Cub and Wal-Mart on certain things, though higher generally. Good selection. Salad bar, soup, hot food bar. Friendly staff.

This is a great food coop. They have a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, bulk items (including honey!) and meat, and all kinds of food that you can't find at a regular grocery store. They also have a small diner inside, and they make smoothies! I love the various delicious samples they have around the store as well.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, plenty of options for all types of diets vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, etc. fantastic deli selection of fresh salads and sandwiches, amazing bulk selection. A little on the pricey end but worth it!

Great quality of produce and bulk foods. Recently purchased their non-alcoholic sanitizer sprays and they are really good.

I stopped to pick up a salad for myself. Ended up just getting yogurt. I think for the size they charge a lot for some lettuce with tomatoes and bacon.

CLOSE IT...... UNTIL ALL OF THE IMPROVEMENTS, EXPANSIONS ARE 100% COMPLETE,... ITS EASIER FOR THEM, Instead of limping through the most needed gut and rebuild to today's market, after all it's not the 1970's anymore..... Employees at Valley are great, they are fine..... Produce is over priced, low quality, its managed very well, by the wonder employee, she should be running g the entire store..... PRICES ARE AND HAVE BEEN 200% HIGHER THAN THE COMPETITION, we need more space, larger coolers, walk ins providing space, try a direct source, forget the good old suppliers , go direct, you can make your money, and give us, you know, us The customers an affordable price.... Thank You

I have only one gripe about most co-op stores....MAKE YOUR SHOPPING AILES BIGGER!!! I hate playing cart chicken with the granola girl coming the other direction!

Great store, good selection and variety of goods, mask is required.

great store for natural and organic foods. Staff is super friendly.

Very nice clean. Not over priced. The reusable bag program is fantastic. I recommend

Stopped there for the first time as I was in the area. Picked up about 7 items including some organic pork from "Down in the Valley", fresh strawberries and other assorted items. The pork is just delicious, store was beyond clean, perfect size for me and staff was very courteous.

Nice folks, care about the community. Prices are really high. $5 for a cucumber that's $1.50 everywhere else.

What a lovely store. We bothered staff with questions at least four times and each time they went out of their way to help us find what we wanted. The check-out staff was just as friendly too. And the best part: quality food at good prices.

Valley Natural and Seward are the best co-ops in Minnesota! Helpful staff, creative deli, freshest produce!

Love it. MASSIVE variety of organic foods, gluten free, kosher free, and all those other goodies. Some things are a bit pricy, but it's worth it because your body will love the nutriants. Would totally recommend to anyone looking to go on a healthy diet.

We sell healthy food from mostly outside of the corporate food system.

Nice selection of natural foods. Nice Deli and decent prices.

Great selection, clean store, good service and friendly employees, enjoyed the Deli, prices could have been lower but no real complaints overall.

The staff are some of the most helpful I've ever known at any grocery store. They really go out their way to go over and above.

They are also happy to help you order products they do not normally stock!

Great selection of organic foods and vitamins and supplements. Friendly staff.

Love going here for specialty items which are unique and different. I wish they would have a little bit more selection on items to use in the kitchen properly. Just those different and unique things that add to the store for being such a advocate on nutrition would be nice if they were an advocate on how to cook the food you just got with unique cooking utensils offered. They have a gorgeous lineup of essential oils. Yep a little bit more for going and getting your food and items however if you decide to become a member it is a little bit more off monthly. Not sure how that works completely I just choose not to be a member and pay the extra fee on my goods I purchased. The offer to become a member is $100 for the year and then I think it's like 5% off monthly your items. Not for sure get the information there or online

Valley Natural Foods cuts down the confusion
In Grocery Shopping. They provide great local products and have great deals on organic, nonGMO, healthy fruits and veggies. Great Hot Bar & Salad Bar, best coffee, juice and smoothie bar in town!

Great produce selection with local organic items. They have garden plots you can rent out in the summer and an excellent coffee and juice bar with very friendly and helpful staff. They have a large selection of very tasty ready made food as well.

Great location and the workers are always ready to help.

I'm not vegan or allergic to anything, but when I have guest that are, I come here to buy the ingredients. Their service is awesome!

Great food great quality but it literally took 20 min to get smoothie no rush at all. Disappointed

Great produce, meat and cheese. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. If you look at deals and compare apples to apples then you'll know that being over-priced is only a perception

Vast inventory of HEALTHY choices! Also good prices!

I Do love going to Valley Natural, but they are a bit over priced. You can get some of the same exact items for much less. Other than that, their bakery and deli are awesome and the cafe in back has delicious smoothies.

Get the membership, great place, great coffee, great everything...staff are super knowledgeable.

Valley Natural Foods is an asset to the City of Burnsville and their inventory is second to none. Their prices are competitive when held up next to Whole Foods. I am looking forward to the coming expansion so we can see what else they have up their sleeve. Support this local business!

Great local co-op. Buy "stock" and get dividends (at get your total investment back at any time) or just stop in like a normal grocery store. Great selection of natural/organic foods and toiletries. Check their site for specials and sales going on (usually the co-op sales are fairly good, and there are usually coupons tacked up all over the store).

Forced to wear a mask. Wont be shopping there again

Great stuff, nice people, even better when you catch a sale!

They have a drive through for smoothies!!!!!

Plus the coop is really nice and clean. They just did some pretty nice updates to the patio and nature area. Membership is totally worth it and a low one time fee.... every single person I ve met is very kind and pretty great!

Good health food store
Like the prepared dinners .

Has a bit of everything and you don't need to be a member to stop here.

Impressed with quality of products and pricing. Recommend.

Always great and the staff are so helpful and kind!

I ve been shopping there for 35 years. I can find just about anything I need there and have never been disappointed with the quality. I ve always been impressed with how clean it s kept with all the volunteer staffing. It s seems to be very well managed. Keep it up for another 35 years!

Great selection of organic, dairy free, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free foods. I found the prices to be competitive as well. The staff was friendly and the store was clean. I will be giving them more return business and would recommend this store to others.

Awesome place to shop and they are just finishing a brand new expansion and remodel. No where better for organic selections and a now even bigger deli, fresh juice, & snack bar. One of my favorite places to shop for healthy foods.

Member-owned food co-op. Great selection, good prices.

The prices are pretty reasonable going here compared to whole foods. Otherwise shop Aldi also.

Love this place. Although they are pretty expensive.

Really nice and clean co-op. The staff are friendly and attentive.

Does anyone wonder why so many dedicated and knowledgeable staff have quit over the last 3 years. The whole Wellness Dept put in their two week notice last week. As a past employee I know what is going on and it is shocking. I humbly ask all members to take the time to find out what is going on at our Co-op. It is not just the Wellness Dept that is suffering. As a 25 year member, I want to hear from the CEO, the GM and the former employees. I want my Co-op back.

Great assortment of natural products and super friendly staff!

Great quality of product, like nuts and fresh berries. Love to go to that store

Always a fun shopping experience here. The staff are very friendly and efficient (at check out) and the healthy/organic/etc product selection is excellent. I live much closer to a competitor of theirs (Fresh Thyme Farmers Market) and it's no contest, Valley Natural Foods wins hands down in every category.

One of the few places that carry whole organic chicken. Everything is well marked for allergies.

This store has gone downhill since their remodel. Even before covid the soup bar stopped making homemade soups, they haven't had their beer cheese soup for over a year. It was the best in town. Deli has gone to not many choices since covid. Also I was told my face shield that covered my nose and mouth was not good enough. I won't be back. I used to be a member but canceled my membership. Their parking lot is mostly empty now, that says I'm not the only one who no longer spends money there. There are plenty of other places to get good food and be treated with respect, not discrimated against for not being able to wear a cloth mask.

Whenever I come here I feel like I'm at home. Everyone there welcomes you and is super excited to help you.The employees are the most knowledgeable people I've ever met, especially when you are in the essential oils, herbs and vitamins aisles. They know everything there is to know about herbs and oils and vitamins etc. Also, they have the most amazing selection of gluten-free and organic foods. this is where I go to get all of my gluten-free noodles, my organic apples, and anything else that is unique to a recipe.

Limited quantities but clean and good people working.

I love the smell of this place and the juice bar is awesome. Selection is good. Though it's over priced as most "natural" food is.

Small yet friendly grocery store. Need a vitamin or sleep aid? Just ask the staff in that dept., they are knowledgable and helpful. Prices are somewhat higher than big box store and smaller selection but can cater to any special dietary need.

Great selections of packaged and bulk foods. Always super friendly staff. Can become a member owner with good deals and discounts.

Right now they are remodeling but are open for business. The staff is ready to help you find anything.

It's convenient, so I find myself here a lot. The prices are fair, but I wait for many items to go on sale. The deli is just okay, but their bakery items are good! The staff are friendly, and it's never super busy which I prefer. Comparing this place to my favorite co-op though, Lakewinds in Richfield, will always leave me feeling slightly disappointed.

Great Co-op and recently remodeled. Food choices are great as is salad bar.

Absolutely love their bakery I got the mexican chocolate cupcake that was so pretty!! Now I wish I would have taken a picture I guess I will just have to go back for another
