Lunds & Byerlys Nokomis

Solid Lunds and so excited for this missing location for us Southside residents. I've been a NE and Highland Lunds shopper for years with stops at pretty much all of them. This one is smaller space wise, but I think it has a ton of great features and I didn't notice a thing missing. (Poke bowl was great!) This has a more in and out feel like Downtown or NE, not the slow and spacious feel of Highland or the big burbs locations. They don't have a liquor store, not surprisingly, but there's Cork Dork in the same parking lot if you need it and Carbone's as well. So glad they have paper bags, not all Lunds do. Checkout is a great mix of lanes and self checkout plus another one near the food bar. Staff were all fantastic like every Lunds. Parking was great. Turning left from Cedar if coming from the north is not the nightmare people make it out to be. There is a turn lane, so you not blocking Cedar traffic. You can always take Bloomington to Minnehaha and up Cedar to avoid it, but then you have to stop at that light and make a left which is worse. If you're coming from the south then you'll just be making a left when you leave which can be tricky. The Southside street named aisles are a sweet touch. Loving my new Lunds so far!

This grocery store is so nice and new. I went here one right for a quick snack. They have the cutest quarter gallon of milk which hit the spot. The place is kept so clean. There is a bathroom available for public use inside. There is a parking lot off of cedar. Everyone working was super friendly and helpful. Great place to stop in for quick things.

TL;DR, Has what you need. Well located. Clean. Friendly Staff. Limited parking. Highly recommend. I've been really excited about this Lunds opening, and I wasn't disappointed. It has a small footprint, so it may not have a niche item or the exact brand you're looking for, but it has all of the basics and plenty of specialized things like take and bake pizzas or sriracha aioli. Additionally, they have fun infographics explaining things like what the various herbs or mushrooms they have for sale taste like and how to cook them, which seemed like a really fun touch. Of course it is still new, but it was very clean despite having a huge rush opening day and having regular traffic coming through. Every worker I met was very friendly and seemed to go above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. For example, I hadn't signed up for their Extras program and couldn't because of poor service in the store. Their manager came over and offered to call their help desk to sign me up on the spot. The only downside I saw was the limited parking and the likelihood that it will back up traffic on Cedar Ave. I've been able to get a parking spot each time and didn't have much trouble getting around the lot in the evening, but I could see it getting a bit hectic. All in all, A+! Check it out!

Great for “get it quick” grocery shopping. Very clean, modern and friendly environment. Amazing bakery and large hot prepared food section. They offer American cuisine with a build-your-own Taco & Gyro bar. I do have to subtract one star for the very small Parking lot.

Huge parking lot. A tad overpriced but what can you expect from a high end grocery store. It’s a nice shop.
