People's Food Co-op

This is one of the best gems in our community. You do NOT have to be a member to shop there, but why would you want to? For $100 you get voting right, 5% discount 12 times per year and the membership is lifetime or until you sell it back. The quality and options for fresh food is amazing. Bulk dry goods is a huge selection. Best option downtown for a quick, fresh, healthy lunch. Walking distance from most Mayo Clinic offices and downtown. Great new selection of Sushi. However I do not recommend their cookies, they are not baked daily, maybe once a week. They are not fresh they are like rocks.

I love this place. They provide a variety of health food items, vegetables, fruits, soaps, essential oils, incense, skin care products, and many.

This store is well known for organic food. I use to buy organic honey, butter, fish items.
Don't forget to try their Salad bar.

Their prices are bit higher side.
Staffs are friendly, helpful, informative, and kind.

My top place to shop for locally sustained and chemical free produce and meats in the Rochester, MN area. When visiting someone a Mayo it is an easy walk and we can find healthy edible gifts as well as shopping for our own needs.

They make scones in house, meaning that they are super fresh.

This place has an awesome selection of everything! I did not know too much about it...I am so glad I took the time to get in and explore all the departments I absolutely love the food available. There is also an area to sit and eat! Very clean and comfy environment! A must to experience! Fresh produce and all sorts of goodies!! Oh and they have a sushi counter! Fresh!!!

They have great selection of organic and gluten-free items. For the ones you can't find, the staff is very helpful to find them- the manager at night, Indian lady- took her time helping me even though it was closing time. Will definitely start shopping here more

Best place to shop for your gut health. I love People’s Food Co-op they have everything if you are organic lover this is the place I’ve been shopping here since 2017 never disappoints the store is neat and well organized. My only wish is if the had halal chicken I’ll always shop here.

Love this place! You can always find a great selection of spices, beauty, and selection of items not normally found in a grocery store.

Need a place to buy fresh organic and local groceries while visiting the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota? This is the market to go to!
Great selection, prices average, they have a good variety of local foifs, perfect for this foodie!

Their Dave's Bread brand "GOOD SEED" organic sliced bread (pictured) seems to be far beyond edible date so that it breaks itself with even gentle handling (see photo). This is not seen with the same product bought from other grocers. This is on top of the pricy norm of this store.

Update: to be fair, the price of the bread above was ~$2 lower than another local grocer Fresh Thyme, noticed today.

What a wonderful store full of healthy local food and knowledgeable employees. Go shopping, have lunch and desert and relax. Such a nice shopping experience!
