Lakewinds Food Co-op

Freshest produce I have found in any grocery store in the general area and really good meats and fish as well. I don't shop for packaged foods here often as they are quite pricey, but I do spend more money on produce and meats when they are high quality. Nice assortment of produce and other items as well. Pleasant atmosphere and nice shopping experience. The deli is nice as well. Wish there were more locations because this one is the closest to me, but still quite far in distance. Would love more variety in the deli/prepared foods department for gluten free, dairy free, soy free eaters. But I do appreciate that you offer healthier oils in your food! No canola- thumbs up! We need more Lakewinds in more locations across MN!

Worst service ever. This co-op has employees that are not friendly and asking for help at the deli is like pulling teeth. When giving my order I could feel their loathing to carry out any sort of work. The meat counter has dried out meat and the fish is fishy. DO NOT GET MEAT HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE OF FOOD POISONING. Checkout is super slow and the manager is less than helpful. Do not recommend. Go to Kowalskis or somewhere else

Lakewinds neighborhood co op is fantastic! Fresh produceExcellent meat departmentWellness section has everything you needThe service and knowledge is top notchTry the pizza... Delish!I love it's 2 miles away...I love to support my local stores!

It's funny...I love the Richfield and Chanhassen locations to the moon and back, but perhaps because of the size and selection in these locations, the Minnetonka location pales in comparison.Employees are friendly in all of the departments, the store is well-kept, but it's just the durn lack of selection that makes the location get the average rating.I went to get chicken necks for my dog (they sell these at the Richfield location), and they didn't sell them. When I asked if they made those available, I was told as long as I called at least 2 days ahead of time, they could. I mentioned they sold them at Richfield and they said that they sell items that would work for each location. Let's be honest...they haven't tried at that location. Not a big deal, it just comes at an inconvenience to me.I also went in for ground pork...and guess what? None. Wha? Very surprised on that one. That's a staple. I was also looking for a whole chicken but at least on that particular day, there were none. Darnit! My trip was a bust.I at least had a great conversation with one of the employees in the health & wellness section about skin treatments for rashes and we swapped tips & tricks.Anyway, I'm not going to go out of my way to shop at this location, but I do hope that they can expand their offerings creatively in their smaller store.

I love Lakewinds! This is the perfect place to get healthy food options. I think I even like it better than whole foods, and it helps that this place is super close to me! The selection is great for certain thinks I can't find at Target or Cub - special oats, flours, etc. - and sometimes I even just buy all my groceries here since it's worth it. Everything is super fresh, organic choices and just everything I'm looking for. Staff is super friendly as well! The one thing that I can't live without here is their salad bar. I absolutely love all of the choices they have! They have delicious quinoa dishes too that you can add, and I love that they have edamame! Their foods like pasta salads, quinoa salads, etc. that are sitting across from the salad bar are delicious too! They have tons of great juice options as well, and I love their kambucha choices and maple waters. Not sure what I would do without you Lakewinds... thank you for being there for me! 5 stars for sure!

This has been my go-to place for quality produce and specialized items, but I'm seeing a decline at this store. I have never liked the meat dept- I saw an employee carrying fresh meat in his dirty apron from the case. Also, the last time I bought some items from the refrigerated deli section, we found a nasty worm in one of the salads. Gross. Manager didn't seem to care when it was brought to his attention. Will NOT be buying food from this store deli. This location needs to be more diligent in their cleanliness.

The food is always fresh. The store is always very clean. The staff is extremely courteous. If you are a member, you get a 5% discount every month and seniors 62 and over get a 5% discount every Tuesday!

This store has a lot of not very helpful racist employees. Sadly two of them are supposedly managers who stood next to me gossiping while I was asking these young man for a certain kind of bread that they didn't have on their shelves and he told me to go ask in the deli. They moved away instead of intervening to assist. If you only serve a particular race then make it clear instead of displaying your ignorance in public

Great selection of organic and local produce. Good selection of gluten free options and the best gluten free chocolate cake you will find anywhere- so much better than even any of the gluten free bakery offerings between here and NYC.

This is difficult to post, but I believe it is time. I am an owner at Lakewinds. We are told they listen to our comments and requests. Over the years, mine have been continuously ignored! Sure, I'm only 1 person. Only 1 customer. Are you aware they support FOOD/GUM that is MADE IN CHINA? I requested they sell an aspartame free brand made in Canada instead of China. There is one that less expensive and equally as good, if not better! Whole Foods AND Non health food stores even carry it! The fact is Lakewinds doesn't let its customers at minimum decide and promotes products going into people's body made in CHINA! That should be concerning and a red flag!
