"Lots of really nice looking produce! Many local made items available. Has are large selection of made in house item as well as a deli to order made for you items. Coffee and tea counter as well as a dining room to sit down in. Store is always very clean and organized. The staff is always nice and helpful!"

"I shopped here quite often during my stay in Rochester. They have a big selection, and the staff are so nice and helpful. I had a problem with my debit card, but they were very kind and patient about it. They tried several times without being frustrated about it, thank you!"

"This is a great place to get a wide selection of nutrient dense foods. I like their bulk grains section. They have a nice selection of foods made to order in their restaurant. Good for vegan people who want vegetables, plant based protein. Thank you food prep staff. Great hot chocolate for the parade too! We will be back when we are in town!"

"This is one of the best gems in our community. You do NOT have to be a member to shop there, but why should 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."

"People’s Food Co‑op in downtown Rochester is an absolute gem for anyone craving fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully sourced food - this charming co‑op truly delivers. With its bright selection of organic produce, bulk goodies, and made‑to‑order deli offerings, it’s a go‑to spot for both locals and visitors alike. The staff radiates friendliness and expertise, and the inviting layout makes every visit feel like a mini‑market adventure. But the real showstopper? Their scones - light, tender, and bursting with flavor, these bakery treats feel like a sweet hug in every bite. Whether you're savoring a morning coffee or treating yourself midday, those scones are unforgettable and make the co-op an even sweeter place to shop."
