I was looking for an article that appeared in Sprout some time ago. I never found it although I went through all the archives. So, I found there was no way to search previous Sprouts unless I opened each one. I found some interesting recipes and information, so I guess it was worth it. But I still did not find the article, which was about toxic plastics and was probably the most informative article Sprout ever published. Unfortunately I also saw a trend away from helpful information toward just selling, selling, selling. Although it is done tastefully for the most part, I did not like it. I don't read Sprout as closely as I used to. And most of the recipes I found and copied were in the older issues. Also tried to copy the recipe in the current sales brochure, brussel sprouts and pomegranate seeds, but it is in a .pdf so I will have to waste a lot of time either copying it or converting the .pdf so I can get the recipe. I no longer use paper copies for my recipe archive. It's all online. Then I tried to register as an owner, thinking maybe you had a contact section there, you know the standard "contact us" but I tried two different emails but it would not accept my registration. Then I got interested in the Friendship store and googled it. Your social media around the Friendship store is sorely, sorely lacking, all the way down the line. I was going to write a review, but couldn't get the function to work. I will not stop shopping at Seward. It's a wonderful coop. Recently I took a 96 year old friend in and she just could not get over it. Her first comment was, "This is wonderful." I also like the Friendship Store. The staff has been friendly and very very helpful. They are missing a few items that the Franklin store has, but overall the selection and layout is good. And I am glad to see they are being used. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. I think Mississippi Market could take a few lessons from you in promotion of a new store, as their new store in St. Paul is not doing so well, I understand. (I have a friend who lives near there and have been once, and she it happy about the store, but even more than me is a multiple coop shopper. She often shops at Seward.) The store is nice.Just fine. But I was on Maryland Ave. and drove by the Harvest Market and the parking lot was full. Someplace I have a copy of that plastics article. I did save it. Just to find it!

We stop at the Seward Co-ops occasionally for coffee, tea, and a few other items. We are not a member of Seward Co-ops, we are a member of the Wedge. Prices and products have seemed better at the Wedge. However, we do like some of the coffee and tea Seward carries. Several months ago at Franklin Seward and then a month ago at 38th St. Seward, upon using their restrooms I was confronted with a poster about how to be gender neutral. Part of the advice included calling whoever "friend". Which was funny because I had recently experienced that at another store in Minneapolis. After being called friend several times by the clerk (who I did not know) I felt uncomfortable. Now, back to the last Seward restroom visited. After waiting for the man to come out of the restroom and then entering the restroom I was confronted not only with the gender neutral sign but a toilet seat covered in yellow pee. This is not the first time that has happened to me in a gender neutral restroom. After cleaning up the pee and spreading more clean toilet paper on the seat, yeah, I got to use the toilet. My thought was sir, you are no gentleman when thinking of the man who had just walked out of the restroom. How about a sign seen many years ago in restrooms (as told to me by my father) WE AIM TO PLEASE AND YOUR GOOD AIM WILL PLEASE US. Or another sign seen recently by me at another establishment, WE'RE NOT YOUR MOTHER CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF. Just a thought.

I am just responding to Claire Vanetta. You clearly have never spoken to Scott, he is one of the friendliest guys in the whole store. Try saying, "Hi Scott, how is it going?". You will find that when people are in the service industry, and they are busy, they sometimes just put their game faces on and try to work as fast as they can. They are just trying to get people through the line as fast as they can. "Member number", is just his way of getting the particulars out of the way, then moving on to your order. He doesn't forget to ask that way, and members will get the full dividend they have coming to them. I see that the other review you left was also negative about the people working. I would like to come to your work, at the height of your day, and see how friendly and helpful you are. If you have never worked in a service industry job, try it out. Otherwise, just say hi and consider what is going on around you. Look and see if the line is really busy, or maybe it is just winding down from being real busy. Either way "Hi" and a smile can go a long way. BTW, I laughed out loud when you called out Scott by name, I have been going to Seward for almost three years, he is one of my favorites.

Edit- Self Checkout?? Really??? I value entry level jobs in OUR community. I am a member and shop co-op even though it costs more than the local corporate store. Significantly more. I am happy to spend more for several reasons, one being we appear to care about our community, and pay a decent wage to OUR employees. These new robots replacing OUR entry level jobs is not the way. If you can't handle talking to a cashier for 30 seconds, go to whole foods....Or better yet, get out of your comfort zone for 30 seconds. It could be liberating. ____________________ I love the store. Always well staffed with friendly helpful faces. But the days of old school cool co-ops are long gone. I remember when co-ops were about buying mass quantities in bulk as a group (read cooperative) to save money. The current "Co-op" motto may as well be a Whole Foods- price things as high as the market will bear. The modern day food co-op has become nothing more than another corporate machine, hungry for the almighty dollar.... I think CO-OPs can still make a difference in our communities but I feel they have lost their way.....

Deli is disgusting! Overcooked, dry... yuck. Taste it before you purchase! The rest of the store caters to bourgeois white people. Low income families cannot afford this place. Many staff are arrogant and rude. They claim CO-OP status but they are not. Member ideas are NOT heard EVER. Hmm, there's got to be something good... but what? Hmm. Um, they make a lot of money? They ALWAYS ask you to round up? ... Do a little digging about where your donations go! You will not be happy. Think all those poor and homeless people get offered some good organic food? They don't. Dig around. You might be as surprised as I was. My eyes are open now. This place is a fraud. Ask yourself: This place pulls in how much money? They got money coming out of their ears but NEVER give it back to the members. I might be okay with forfeiting my annual dividend IF it was given to low income families or they lowered the prices but it isn't/doesn't. Sad, sad day when "CO-OP" no longer means "co-operative" meaning FOR THE PEOPLE. This place is FOR THE PROFIT.

Slow Friday morning at the co-op, nice time to visit the store... I thought. Then another all too frequent reminder that customer service is not a priority at this establishment. This morning, stood in line for 5 minutes or so while both 10 items or less registers where vacant and staff members were unoccupied. Seeing no other customers approaching any line, we pulled our cart over and began unloading our groceries in the vacant express line. When our transaction was almost complete another customer approached to checkout. Manager on duty, Amanda directed the customer to her register and began openly talking about me and my husband to the other customer. After the tens of thousands of dollars my family has spent at this store, I really can't understand why staff would be so extremely rude - rather than facilitate a more convenient transaction when the capacity to do so was apparent. Time to shop somewhere else - where staff are encouraged to provide quality service and interact positively with customers.

The Seward Co-op has one major problem that I don't think it will ever resolve: it's too far away from my home in Loring Park. The Seward is, buy far, my favorite co-op in the Twin Cities. I live just a few blocks from The Wedge, which I acknowledge is the Granddaddy of all co-ops in town. Unfortunately, the parking (PARKING IS NUTS AT THE WEDGE,) crowds and tight aisles tend to stress me out. For the most part, The Wedge and The Seward carry the same things. But it's SOOO much more pleasant to go to The Seward. When it's on the way, I always prefer stopping by The Seward. For the record, my wife and I are members of both co-ops. The one area for me where The Wedge excels over The Seward is in it's bulk nut butters. I know that The Seward gets their seafood from Coastal Seafoods. That's a bonus for me because that's one less stop I need to make. I think The Seward is a model for other co-ops because of quality/selection of items, environment, and convenience.

Why did they stop caring vegan no sugar added desert items?!? They used to carry cacao chips with no sugar added in their bulk section. They used to carry rice dream ice cream sandwiches that had no added sugar (to no fault of Seward rice dream just started adding sugar) but why not pick up a so delicious no sugar added ice cream. All their chocolate bars have either milk or coconut sugar added. They used to have a frozen pizza that had vegan sausage on it and no added sugar and now they just have Dayia and Amy’s. which God knows why Amy puts sugar in just about almost everything she makes. why?!?!? Seward used to have rice crispie bars with cacao on them that were vegan and no sugar added. I swear it’s a high glycemic index conspiracy, everything either has cane sugar, coconut sugar, agave or maple syrup. Why not help the diabetic leaving America and use low GI like Yacon syrup or Stevia or just plain fruit as sweetness???

Great place to shop for a wide variety of fresh produce and fair trade goods, however the costumer service is another story. As someone who is constantly on the go and doesn't have much time for slow service I found it painstakingly hard to just order a burrito from the deli, with the short line only having me and one other person ahead, I found myself waiting for 15 minutes just to place my order, while the deli associate was chatting for a solid 20 minutes to the lady in front. I had zero acknowledgement as I was waiting for them to be done chatting, I had to get back to work so I ended up leaving without buying anything. Please start training you workers to be courteous and professional as I am not so keen on this nonchalant, unprofessional, young, hipster attidude that seems to be plaguing co-ops in the Twin Cities everywhere. Professional and quick efficiency is all I ask for in the future.

When this place was first being built, I thought in my mind "oh no, not another grocery store and not another co-op." That means I obviously had a lot of doubts as it was built. I stepped in there for the first time recently. My doubts I originally had were proven wrong. It really wasn't nearly as bad as I was thinking. There are tons of delightful ethnic foods that I can't find at The Dollar Store, where I normally do my grocery shopping. I'm amazed at the variety of things. The prices are a little high, but I became a member and got a membership card, and the prices drop when I show the clerk my card. The one downside is that the hot produce isn't always fresh. That means I have to look at the expiration date before I grab it. The clerks are delightful to be around. This is where I'll go if I can't find something I want at The Dollar Store.

A few weeks ago I bought mushroom brie that was rancid upon of opening that night (it was packed about three weeks prior to my purchase). Tonight when I came by I noticed the brie I wanted was packed several weeks out, mushy and coming out of it’s packaging. Much to my delight the person behind the counter was, seemingly, being trained on cutting and packaging brie - lucky me, it was the type I wanted! I asked about it, saying I wanted the fresher batch and would come back in a bit to let them finish their work. Fifteen minutes later and all I got was no brie and an icy response from the new person about it. Perhaps if rotten brie wasn’t left on the display for folks to buy or cheese counter people weren’t so unduly surly I wouldn’t be so bent out of shape, but, here we are.

For a small, Organic grocery store, the selection is fine. They promote many local farmers, donate to community causes for the disadvantaged. But, as expected, be prepared to pay more for almost everything. The Hot Food Bar offerings are inconsistently prepared, lacking in variety from week to week, and lean heavily on starches (beans, rice, etc). )To be honest, I don't think their chefs even TASTE the food they prepare before it's sent to the Hot Bar. More than a few times, I've returned home with my Fresh food items to find that they're several days past the expiration date - awesome! Several years ago, I shopped here for almost every day. Now, I find that I only shop here once or twice a week, and don't do so with the enthusiasm I once felt.

As good as it gets for produce - the most beautiful array of vegetables and fruit that I have found. Prices are higher than traditional grocery stores, but the high quality is well worth it. Good selection of other items. Some of the best specialty ice creams to be found. Outstanding salad bar. Very good sandwiches made to order (but be aware that there can be a wait). Same is true for their fruit and juice smoothies. This can be a very busy place on a Saturday - allow time to wait at the cash register. The seating area can be quite over run on a weekend - no guarantee of a place to sit. Parking lot is too small for this busy operation, requiring staff to direct traffic at the busiest of times.

Checking hours on a Sunday morning...reading reviews, rude employees? This place is food nirvana, and the people that work there love being there for the most part. Seward Coop along with the central and south Minneapolis areas it serves is the heart of low impact, simple, locally energetic and globally minded living in Minneapolis. Complaints and concerns are met with feedback on their message board. They offer affordable name-brand organic products that will be competitive with buying them at Super T*****. And again, the employees are beyond awesome and people watching here is a rewarding experience, as if buying great food wasn't enough.

I used to work here and shop here. Although co-ops are based on principles of equity and cooperation, the upper management at Seward is so backwards that the employees need a union to protect their basic rights. At this location the employee and management turnover is insanely high which is why customers never get a consistent experience. Additionally nearly all people in management positions are unqualified for their jobs. (Usually with zero experience in the field) Lastly and most sadly, this co-op is not in favor of women’s right or bodily autonomy. If you believe in principles of equity, cooperation, or ethics I would NOT shop here

I called today to have 30 gallons of jugs on reserve the girl there was completely rude in grocery. They don't reserve. Wow, business. Co op right. I spoke with Manager Ian he was completely sacarstic and negative attitude refused to let me speak with anyone. They didn't provide me with prices either of the 3 gallons or 5 gallons. I have been going here for years. Products are great customer service is awful now a days. I was going to bring business to them now I am taking it elsewhere!! I was completely dissatisfied with today's service. There is other co ops around. Stop supporting people like that's paycheck.

Great choice of good local organic food, fair trade products and a good bakery. The prices are too high, the Co-op continues to make money, so lowering prices would make me want to shop there more, and allow those with lower incomes than mine to shop there. The help is usually crabby and distracted, bordering on rude, and in an unscientific poll of my peers and some neighbors, they concur that some friendliness and not the imperious attitudes often encountered by the staff at Seward COMMUNITY Co-op would entice us to do more of our shopping there. Most of the staff would benefit from lessons in politeness.

I was just reading a couple reviews and noticed the comments regarding rude employees and just wanted to say that definitely has not been my experience. Perhaps on an early Sunday morning, I have less than super pleasant customer service, but it has not been the norm for me. Most of the time everyone is helpful, looks you in the eye when they talk, friendly and outgoing. The employees are one of the main reasons I like shopping here. High prices are the only reason I don't do the majority of my shopping here. Everything else is great and their coffee/juice bar is a must try.

I have been shopping off and on at seward co-op. I am not a member but it is there when I need milk, and great rye bread. I love the choice of cheeses. I also like the hot food you can eat there or take out, the coffee shop and bakery. Everyone is always friendly. The guest servicer offers me the ability to add to my to go card for the metro bus and that is nice. If they can't help you they will find someone who can. Is it perfect...no but I have been going top co-ops for a long time and they really come a long way from the co-ops in the early 70's. :))

Great produce selection, deli counter, cheeses, hot food bar, and all your essential grocery items (and pretty good selection of beauty products, health, and supplements). It's definitely not as cheap as Cub, but the coop generally stocks organic and ethically sourced goods, as much as possible. It's a community-owned coop. Anyone can purchase a share which entitles you to quarterly discounts, an end of year dividend (if the store is profitable) and a vote in board elections. Also the workers are finally unionizing; another plus.

One of my favorite deli's in the Twin Cities. Every chicken dish is amazing, and their mustard pork is out of this world. They have a really nice dining facility, the whole store is neat and clean and the cashiers are always very friendly. They have a pretty good selection of food but I do have to say they are quite expensive as most coops are, and the no left turn out of the parking lot ( in order to respect their neighbors) is a little bothersome for me since going right adds 5-7 minutes on my commute back to work.

I was in the area recently and decided to drop in and see what this place was all about and I was blown away! Some of the items were a little more expensive than other places, but the bulk section was very reasonable! I was bummed that I didn't have any of my own containers with me, but I was excited to see that they offered compostable bags! I was also able to find some organic vegetables that I haven't been able to find anywhere else. Overall, I'd highly recommend! I only wish I lived closer!

Seward Coop is the best. Don't go here if you are looking for organic Doritos or any other brand names you recognize, and keep an open mind about new things! Great selection of bulk items including protein-enriched flour, nutritional yeast flakes, tea, etc. The prices are a little high compared to what you're probably used to at Cub or Rainbow, but for some things - like tofu - Seward can actually be cheaper since it's not so specialty. Definitely a must-see coop if you're into that scene :)

Of all the stores I've been in the last four months, this is (still) the one in which I feel safest. Cashiers wipe the conveyor belts between every customer, *everyone* is wearing a mask, and I know I'm doing what I can, as convenient as it is, to contribute to fair, inclusive, and sound ecological/economic practices. Yes, sometimes I feel that it's not a customer-centric experience... that's the point. Sometimes it shouldn't be. I trust these folx to strike a balance. They do.

Probably my favorite place in my neighborhood. There isn't much to not like. The produce here is locally sourced (where possible), cost is fair if not amazingly affordable, staff is friendly and helpful, the space is clean and orderly, they get daily fresh bread from local bakers, and they have a great butcher and deli. Such a happy and welcoming place that is member owned and community focused. A business model others can follow. Love Seward, my girlfriend and I are members!

The quality is top notch. Best grocery store in Minnesota! Worth the higher prices. The smoothie/coffee/sandwich bar is amazing. I like the Arctic Kiss smoothie and Mock Duck Ciabatta. The hot foods bar is just okay. The cold ready made food is also delicious! I like the vegan kheer, vegan cakes, vegan chocolate pudding, and all of the cold dishes I've tried-- sesame noodles, Somali and Ethiopian spiced vegetable dishes, couscous and cashew salads, etc.

It's easy to complain about a co-op. I have been here four times over two years and my experiences are all similar. 2 things make this the worst grocery experience you can have in this city. 1. The employees are extremely unhelpful and honestly seem bothered if you have a question. 2. The deli is unsanitary and always half empty. I think people shop here so they can pat themselves on the back because they are buying a misshapen carrot.

Delicious salad and hot bar! There's always tons of nutritious options for on the go meals and the workers there are polite courteous, and extremely helpful. The only suggestion I would make is that they have more kid-friendly food options in the hot bar selection because I've noticed on more than one occasion, parents looking defeated that they can't find something for there kiddo to eat but other than that, everything is AWESOME.

A nice little grocery store with a very wide selection of goods and plenty of parking. Specifically their cheese selection is IMMENSE. The only reason this review isn't five stars is because I learned from a employee that some of their donations were going to some shady and bad businesses. The employee said they talked about it internally, but since I still haven't heard anything more, I'm assuming that's still the case.

A nice little spot that was very friendly and high quality food that was obviously made with love. I would have gave it 5 stars but i would really have liked to see a few desserts and a main dish like steak frittes to go with their delicious French fries. Lastly i didn't like that I wasn't able to tip, such nice polite people deserve a little something extra if they are giving me exceptionally good friendly service.

The food selection is excellent. Staff is generally helpful and courteous, beware of the extremely rude and pushy customers. You will get pushed through the lines here. Liberal elitism at its finest. Apparently eating organic food gives you the right to be sanctimonious. Beware of the parking lot which is total chaos and fat people almost hit you while driving and simultaneously eating. Strap on the feed bag.

Staff is great and the store is laid out nicely. I am a member of this coop, but something is lacking. Prices are higher and a few things are missing that I need. The food bar foods are usually disappointing, not bad, but they miss the mark on taste frequently. Spicing is just off slightly, but it's ok. Tastes are available and I do recommend before buying. I still recommend going there, but be prepared.

Deli customer service sucks! I was on my lunch break I decided to wait by the counter patiently & out of the way of others. There was one person making the food and others just standing around talking instead of helping. Then on top of it all, I overheard this person say to the other employee that I was giving her the "stare down" because I decided to wait. Overpriced food & rude employees.

One of my absolute favorite places in the cities. I've been a member for a little over a year, after shopping for 6 months without a membership. Everyone I've encountered that works here has been incredibly friendly and genuinely interested in helping with any question. I'm pretty low-key, and like to keep to myself, but really appreciate the enthusiasm for the community in this building.

These people need to be reported for being racist! They hired a friends daughter here and on the first day of work, because she did her work fast, some guy DAN reported to his boss that she smelled like alcohol and thus was fired! The young indian woman has been in recovery and sober for quite some time and is a blessing to others in her community! This place is toxic! and racist!

This is my go-to place for lunch! Lots of great hot and cold options and reasonably priced! You can also get groceries here, though those are more pricey compared to other stores. But the vibes are great, the produce is excellent, and the friendly workers do a great job sanitizing in-between customers, and only allowing a certain amount of people in at a time.

Great atmosphere! Great selection of co-op goods, free-trade, and local produce. Friendly and helpful staff. My only caveat is a slightly stressful parking lot at peak hours. People sometimes don't pay attention to the traffic flow arrows and forget their usual Minnesotan courtesy when racing for the one open spot. I recommend going on off-hours, if possible.

"potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, potatoes.....I dought you put potatoes in your coffee too...their hot bar is terrible everything is potatoes....selling cooked potatoes 10.99 per pound (not even organic potatoes the same potatoes you can buy it like 5 pound @ $3.99 at any stores) check their soups it all potatoes. Super greedy and ripping off everyone.

This is a great Co-op they have good lunch specials and indoor seating where you can sit and enjoy your lunch. They also have a wonderful selection of fruits and vegetables and you can buy bulk herbs and spices. They also have a great cheese counter and meat department where you can get grass-fed Meats smoked fish and homemade sausage and brats.

Terrible customer service. I was not greeted, much less even acknowledged by Eric T. As he rang up my items he didn't skip a beat as he continued his conversation with a female employee, stopping only to say "Number" and looking at me expectantly. I will avoid Eric's line next time, but I hope this is not a typical interaction from this coop.

Member for years I get basics and sale items. My greatest disappointment aside from being asked to round up at checkout is the low quality sandwich bread used here on sandwiches, it is simply tasteless, so I recommend skipping the sandwiches. Note that they also charge 5 cents per bag so it pays to bring your own bag and any bag will work!

Paying your employees minimum wage isn’t cool. Ok sure a 50 cents more then minimum wage plus union dues but that’s still lower then most other grocery stores including Walmart and you treat your employees pretty poorly. You withheld my last check and It’s literally not a more ethical choice to shop here it’s just a image they put off

Just your average overpriced coop that caters to the rich outside community rather than the local community and pretends to "give back". If you're poor they offer a 5% discount everytime you shop. If you need boogie food, go to the wedge. The wedge will give 10% off if you're poor so it actually makes it a bit more affordable.

Unfortunately, their customer service was the worst I've experienced at a health food store. David in the meat department was particularly unprofessional when asked for help in the cheese department. He stated "no one is here that knows about the cheese department." No further help was offered. Would not recommend this store.

I was shopping at the meat counter looking for a particular cut. The butcher was very kind and helpful. Not only did he offer assistance but he went beyond to walk me out to the meat case where there was a very exceptional piece of meat in the cut I wanted - and it was discounted! Nice meat & great service!

I’ve been an owner for over five years and it has been well worth it. They are exceptional in their meat and produce. Many selections are very affordable, especially their awesome bulk sections. I feel better spending my money here with local farms than anywhere else. We are lucky to have Seward Coop.

Seward Coop always has high quality products and friendly service. Turtle cheesecake and fresh oatmeal cookies are my favorite deserts and, their hot foods can't be beat for nutrition, flavor and convenience. Discovered they carry the elusive purple potato last week. Hard to go wrong shopping here.

Nice to see community supporting good initiatives like Seward. Apart from having very good supplies for sensible consumers, Seward also has a great deli. Do your shopping and then stop for a good bite to eat (pay by weight). They have options for various types of diets as well.

I feel so lucky to have the Seward Co-op in my neighborhood. Their produce, dairy, and bulk sections are top-notch and the deli and grab-and-go foods are consistently excellent. They give back to the community in many ways, and everyone who works there is incredibly nice.

My wife and I love this store, friendly people, tons of organic food and the bulk area is awesome, but I will recommend to re-paint the parking spaces in diagonal because parking sucks. That small detail makes me think twice to go there or other grocerie store.

Kind of pricey, but great place to do groceries, and good people. Their awesome meat selection (love their Mediterranean lamb patties, chicken sausages, etc!), and varied selection of organic grocery items make it worth my occasional visit.

EDIT: I'm returning a year later to remove 1 star. I was mischarged for bulk items 3 times in the past few weeks, and I'm sure there have been many more times that I haven't caught it. Always ask for a receipt and check it when you get

The sales make a substantial smile in my grocery budget. Given the walkable locations for local neighborhoods who need more readily accessible produce, which is excellent here, I'm more than happy to be a member who shops here. I'm

The Seward Coop is one of my favorites and the only coop that I decided to become a member of. They have truly created a welcoming environment in all they do. Keep up the great work. Can't wait until my next visit!

The produce section is wonderful: it puts Whole Foods to shame. I find everything I need here without having to navigate aisles of processed foods. It's also a great place for a quick, tasty lunch.

What a great place! Food is not cheap, but the co-op makes sure that your food comes from great places and great people. They can work with you to find all kind of special produce and meat too!

I only buy lunch and produce at this coop, but I love the interior look of it and the smiling faces of everyone! I also like that they have environmentally friendly options for most items.

Spotless, professional, and diverse. Wonderful food selection designed to appeal to a wide audience. Staff is authentic and helpful and welcoming to all. Everyone feels comfortable here.

Grat place for all your shopping. TONS of great produce, meat, and breads. And everything else. Awesome hot food bar as well for a nice quick lunch, with lots of sitting options too!

Clean store and great selection of produce. The produce is always really cheap and good quality. They always have good deals. Good selection of meat and fish and great prices.

City Co-Op. Good selection of the standards you would expect. Food bar an bakery (vegan and GF) is probably the best I've found in the metro. Coop is very community involved.

Loved the shopping experience at Seward! Great produce and fresh coffee beans. Staff are super nice too—lily was incredibly helpful talking me through the different produce!

literally have never in my life had better customer service anywhere, grocery store or not. every time i grab groceries everyone is so helpful, so nice, so cool, so fun.

Staff is super friendly. They do a great job putting emphasis on small and local producers. I trust the products they carry. Also, the house made sausages are amazing!

Has Great produce! Staff is usually quite friendly! They also have alot of organic foods.. and also have many different original kind of items they carry here too!

Terrible selection of cheese - pricey, no int'l goudas. Check out man was rude. There are better places to get better products, for much less. Won't be back.

I like the Co-op, but with how regressive their approach to labor organizing is, it kind of makes you realise that, to them, "progressive" is just a brand.

Manager (CS) was rude and unprofessional with the customer like me, which is bringing negative impression about your grocery unprofessional behavior!!!

I love Seward co-op. Excellent produce, meat counter, deli. The staff are both helpful and very knowledgeable. Plus great coffee to round out the set.

Amazing place to be at! I fell in love with this store the very first day I walked in a few years ago. One of my favorite places in the Twin Cities.

I've been going to this co-op for years! Love the option to prevent plastic waste, love the food at the cafe, and all the quick healthy options!

Beautiful the presentation of the food the produce everything I like It fabulous customer service was very nice overall I give it all up start

Customer service much improved over the last time I was here. The hot bar is fabulous today. Eat the Black Beans Abuela, best I've ever had.

great selection, happy employees. bike racks that are lockable. and there's a fun cafe in the front if you just want a quick meal.

I love being able to sit by the window and enjoy a vegan lunch that doesn't cost a lot and the environment is peaceful

Besides it being so pricey, I love it. You find quality products that you wouldn't find at your regular grocery store

It's a med-lg size co-op. Nothing really crazy special about this one but it does seem to meet all your organic needs

Love going here and looking at all the awesomeness on the shelves. I always come away trying a little something new.

Found what I needed. Didn't feel welcome though. I am not the type of person who they are used to seeing I guess.

Could only be better if it was where i live, which is far away. A great place to shop if you are visiting town.

Pricey but you can get quality items here if that’s what you’re looking for. Good that they support local farms

I love the Seward co op it has healthy options and fresh food that is organic and hard to find in other stores.

other coops are cute, but this coop is gorgeous. and as we know, gorgeous devours cute. great kombucha on tap.

Very impressed with the GF selection and prices (for a co-op). GF options in the bakery and food bar as well.

Good people, but rather pricy and a free parking spot can be hard to come by. Plenty of bike parking though.

y'all know you can just say "no" to the round up right? ..literally like 12 cents at stake...chill out lmao

Great food, people are very authentic and nice. Welcoming place. Can't recommend Seward Co-op enough!!!!!

Owned by the community. Returning info & great food 365 days a year. A real asset to South Minneapolis.

They have a wonderful selection and variety of items and foods to choose from. So enjoy going there.

The butchers in the meat department really know their stuff, thanks a million for your expertise! !

Friendly staffing, love the diversityand most importantly very convenient for where I work …

Awesome place to go grocery chopping!! Very friendly staff Good products I can't ask for more!!

Spendy, as with most co-ops. Overall okay for specific foods that you can't find it elsewhere.

Their bulk foods are wonderful! Lots of selection, organic options, and reasonable prices.

Consistently excellent, fresh produce. The staff at checkout are fast and friendly.

They carry Four Winds Herbal Look No X Ma soap, which is great for sensitive skin!

Really good but some prices are too high otherwise great service just a nice place

Friendly and helpful staff; good selection of organic, gluten-free, or vegan food

High quality, organic foods. Busy place with limited parking but well worth it.
