Hampden Park Co-Op

I really like the vegan selection of fresh deli and hot bar. I have the soups bookmarked from their website to view the daily menu. TBH- you spend less than $10 usually for couple big bowels of soups and hot bar box (not overloaded). It saves me from cooking for couple days and much better quality than restaurants. Maybe the pandemic had effect on restaurants quality of ingredients and their cooking, but this co-op is superior. Very clean and organic store. I plan to visit couple time of the week to make my selections as I have given up on restaurants and sold for the co-op hot bar life!

While visiting someone nearby, I popped in to experience first-hand the local co-op that they speak so highly of. Indeed, it has a vibrant community of local followers as the store was packed! Tucked on the corner of Raymond Ave and Hampden Ave W. in St Paul, it is easy to travel to. Experience the aroma of high-quality fresh vegetables and fruit as you walk into the produce section. To be this fresh, clearly these items are from local growers who stock the store daily. I find items are reasonably priced and many brand selection or flavors that I haven't found elsewhere. Even Keto snack bars are here! Lots of “Top Deals” are offered. Being in route, I was pleasantly surprised to find so many ready-to-eat options: salads, wraps, angel eggs , yummy soups and more. I am a true cheese connoisseur and loved the many options. Look at this – they sell lefse beyond the holiday season. It’s August and I can buy lefse! Now that is a rare find. Past grocery items, they sell cards, sunglasses, Flipside hats, Pranarom Scientific Aromatherapy, U-Konserve items, fun socks and other ideal gift selections. It may be small by some standards but it is has an amazing bulk food section. It offers a unique shopping experience; and the staff is super knowledgeable and helpful. There is ample parking and a picnic table to enjoy your lunch outdoors. I wholeheartedly recommend checking it out in person.

I came to the store to pick up 2 items for my family. When I got home I checked the receipt and the cashier didn't itemize the receipt. There was a total amount only. I was overcharged almost $2. I now have to go back to the store and return the items. Then I found out they have an extra charge on every bill. The customers are never told about the extra charge. This is a very dishonest company. People should consider shopping at the Wedge coop instead.
