Fantastic grocery store with above and beyond customer service. There are really good selections of food and Kowalski's has some unique options as well. I have always enjoyed my trips to this Kowalski's. It provides a cozy and enjoyable grocery shopping experience.

This 5 Star ⭐ review is for Khalid in the meat department. This was my first time at this store location. He was very friendly and went out of his way to make sure my customer needs were taken care of . I really enjoyed the experience at this location which is now the only place I’m gonna go to get my meats . Thank you Khalid for your professionalism and the wonderful customer experience:) ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Kowalski's is a lovely high-end grocery store. The customer service is outstanding, as any employee is eager to help. Ryan, the manager, was very accommodating. The produce is consistently fresh and artfully displayed. The bakery selections rival a French patisserie. The cheeses are fantastic. There's a nice deli with a wide variety of offerings. Shopping at Kowalski's is always a great experience!

I was visiting St. Paul for a week. I went to this store daily. I love this store. I want to move to St Paul specifically to be able to shop here. The sushi is so fresh and tasty. The donuts that I tried were the best that I have ever tasted in my 52 years of life. Every item is fresh. The meat counter blew my mind, so many choices and the quality is top tier. If I knew that tomorrow was my last day on earth, my last meals would come from Kowalski's. I used to believe that Disneyland was the happiest place on earth, but now Kowalaki's is my happy place

Kowalski’s Markets — The Gold Standard of Grocery Shopping in Minnesota I’ve been going to Kowalski’s since the Grand Avenue location first opened — literally since I was a child. One of my earliest (and still favorite) memories was the “avenue signs” down each aisle. As a kid, I’d hunt for my street every visit, even though nothing in that aisle was anything I wanted. It still felt special. As an adult, Kowalski’s has become my go-to store for premium groceries, produce, and meat. Their quality is unmatched. Whether it’s everyday items or something special like a tomahawk ribeye, they always seem to have what I need. I normally order my tomahawks from Snake River Farms, so finding one in stock at Kowalski’s for the Fourth of July was a huge (and very welcome) surprise. Service & Staff I genuinely cannot think of a single time over the years when the staff hasn’t been friendly, attentive, or extremely helpful. They still offer carry-out service for every customer — even if you have just one bag. Minnesota winters can be brutal, so I always tip because these guys work hard and it shows. Quality of Food Their produce section feels like a curated farmer’s market — everything is fresh, vibrant, and consistently high quality. Their meat department is top-tier, and their bakery/dessert section has everything from fresh pastries to chocolate-covered strawberries. For the past decade, Kowalski’s has been the one fulfilling my chocolate-covered strawberry order every year on my birthday, and they’ve never disappointed. Reliability When other stores run out of basics — eggs, milk, essentials — Kowalski’s still has it. The store is spotless, modern, and organized, and the employees truly seem to care. If you’re in Minnesota and value great service, amazing produce, high-end meats, or just an elevated grocery shopping experience, Kowalski’s is the place. I’ve been going for decades, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

10/10 Kowalski's is the best grocery store in the state. Especially their lunch bars. Really glad to see the St. Paul location kept the pho and ramen bar. The team in Saint Paul really do take an immense amount of pride in the store. From the crew cooking food, those that are working hard to keep it clean and anyone else in between.

Kowalski's takes all my money that target leaves behind! Which is odd because I don't cook. They have a wide variety of cooked foods that are really good! Eat here 3 to 4 times a week because it's very convenient and close to home. My shopping experience is top tier here. There's a Starbucks inside which knocks out 2 stops in one for me. It's always clean and the staff are always friendly. Elevate your grocery shopping and stop in, it's so cute and clean!

Kowalski's is a great store, it's a bit higher priced but wonderful for specialty foods and great quality meat and produce. It's always been a pleasant experience shopping at any of their locations. They have a nice selection of wine also at their adjacent liquor store.
