I've worked near this Mississippi Market for a couple years and it's one of the few places I can reliably pick up vegan food for lunch. As often as not they have a vegan soup available and there's always something in the small deli section that I will eat. I go there so frequently for lunch that I've now started doing most of my grocery shopping there as well. Also, the staff is awesome.
I love this co-op. It's my new favorite in the twin cities, by far. They have tons of vegan items for their size, and several that I haven't seen in other co-ops. I, too, saw the vegan donut holes (but didn't try them) as well as vegan donuts (not made fresh there, but still!), and vegan chocolate covered raisins in the bulk section. I realize I am writing only about junk foods, but they also have a nice produce section, and their service was top-notch. Way better than the Selby store's. Almost every employee smiled at me, and two of them were more friendly, offering help. I heart this place.
They've got vegan chocolate donut holes there. In a box. They're Nutrilicious.
It is a pretty small co-op but the staff is always friendly and you will find many choices that you couldn't at the larger grocery stores.
The "old" Mississippi Market has a tendency to carry vegan items that cannot be found at the other co-ops in the area (e.g. good vegan cheese, or at least the kind that melts well and doesn't taste like plastic). it's worth the trip, even if you drive by 4 other co-ops to get there.
Best place in the whole world.
