Lunds & Byerlys

Today was my first time shopping at this place. I am sort of new to downtown, so im still checking out whats around.
The foods are fresh, the prices are comparable and the manager was very approachable and open!
Its awesome to have a great place like this downtown! This is my new «go-​to» place for groceries, etc.

This store is great. Clean. Fresh foods, etc. I do wish you used organic ingredients in your salad bar. I’d happily pay more for it. I find myself going to Whole Foods or Mississippi Market for their salad bar because they use organic ingredients. And I much prefer Lunds! More organic selections in the hot bar and roasted chickens and I’d never shop anywhere else.

I love this place! Great produce, meat, deli, etc. It’s well-​stocked and clean. Superb quality and great variety. The location is super convenient. The staff is friendly. It’s the best!

Great spot for lunch or dinner. They have Chinese, sushi, great meats and cheeses. The service is pretty good. They have a limited number of samples. Parking is ample underneath which is great.

Thank my lucky stars every day that such an amazing store is just across the street. It’s like having the highest class pantry possible. Yes, it cost a little more. However, for those who live in this downtown St Paul bedroom community, having access to an upscale grocery store is amazing. There is also a Caribou Coffee on the promises as well as a deli that would make anyone in New York jealous.

I truly appreciate this new Lunds and I hope more people stop in and see the great quality and value they have. BOGO events is such a great deal. Also sign up to get their text deals as well as look into their web only deals — you would be amazed at the good values you will find. The best part is the staff — spectacular customer service. Matt in meat department is really knowledgeable and goes out of his way to help you find what you’re looking for.

Bit more pricey than a Target or a Cub but less expensive than a Whole Foods. The stuff is pretty high quality and there’s a quick service counter and seating area for lunch.

It’s a smaller Lund’s so they don’t have the extravagant bakery like the uptown one. Which is actually probably a good thing for my sweet tooth and waistline, haha! The salad bar is amazing and has a huge selection. The only downside is lack of nutrition information on the dressings or any good low-​cal or fat-​free dressings available. I went throught the salad bar and loaded my container, then bought myself a dressing in a bottle becuase I couldn’t tell how good or bad the dressings available were for you.
Samples given over lunches usually. Staff is friendly. Parking is free and covered, which is AWESOME.

For my major shopping I’ll stick with Highland Park location. This is a good fit for downtown, but there are some oddities to get used to. I think it’s fair to say that the TC are on top of environmental and green issues. This place plastic bags are the star of the show because they don’t think they have the storage space at the checkout for paper. Looked like there was a spot from my viewpoint. There was an odd exchange whether I needed a cart to carry the stuff out. I guess he didn’t see the 4 cases of coke. I’m taken aback that there’s even a discussion about this since the other locations spoil the hell out of you and there’s always someone around that automatically grabs your shit and heads out. It will take getting used to what’s where, and maybe items won’t seem so willy nilly. The aisles seem more horizontal than vertical, just the layout, not a bad thing. But all year long there are good holiday sales and BOGO. So to me any Lunds is better than none.

I love my new grocery store in my hood!
Prior to Lunds opening, there was no place to grocery shop downtown St. Paul.
There is a Caribou inside and underground parking and I love both of those things very much.
I find the checkouts to be a little strange however. The checkouts are immediately when you walk in the door from the underground parking. I understand you want to have the checkouts by the door but it’s just weird how it was designed. You almost have to go there to see it to understand what I’m talking about.
I love the deli and I go at least a few times a week to grab a salad or a wrap. if possible, try to stay away at the noon hour. All the business people go to pick up something for lunch and the lines can get extremely long.
I feel Lunds is very comparable in price to many other grocery stores if you watch the sale circulars. Their ad runs Wednesday to Wednesday.
The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is the weird checkouts and the staff is really inconsistent and not very helpful. They really push you to do the self checkouts and sometimes I just don’t feel like checking my own groceries out.

It’s great to have a full-​service grocery store in downtown St. Paul. And I appreciate having an attached parking ramp. I look forward to shopping here more since it’s very close to home. Typical Lund’s selection, quality, and variety. Helpful staff.

You cannot imagine the fantastic variety and quality being offered at this location. I live a block away and frequently visit this store for dinner or lunch food. It’s only been open for a few weeks, and it already makes living downtown sweeter and richer!
As with all Lund’s stores, the prices are a little higher, but the quality of the prepared food is amazing, and the variety is exceptional for a downtown grocer.

Stopped in today for lunch. I love grocery stores. So excited that there is finally a grocery store closer to downtown St. Paul.
Salad Bar is perfect:
–Pumpkin seeds a big plus
–Edamame
–Artichoke hearts
candy store of salad bars and plenty stocked.
I only wish I had a Lunds closer to my work. I would be here just about everyday, but I will have to settle for weekend jaunts.
Love that you can eat inside, outside or at the counter.

Welcome to downtown St. Paul

I am so glad that Lunds has opened a store in downtown STP, and even more ecstatic that the store is about a block from my work. The primary draw during the day will be the numerous lunch options for the office crowd. There’s a very nice salad bar, hot food bar, deli, sushi (including Weds. sushi specials), Big Bowl (Asian take away) and coffee bar. Everything is fresh and attractively presented. Those living downtown will appreciate the full service grocery, with the usual Lunds quality evidenced in the produce and meat departments.
The store’s layout is a little confusing, no doubt due to the space constraints of this layout. But there are plenty of cashiers and self service checkouts, so you won’t be waiting long in line. There are also parking spaces reserved in the attached garage for Lunds shoppers.

I live in Downtown St Paul and this location is AWESOME!
I work late and the night staff sees a lot of me. Always asking if I need help, always willing to show me where everything is and ALWAYS happy to see me again. (a few of the cashiers even know my name and greet me!)
Friendly as they get and the shelves are constantly stocked.
I cant say enough good things about this location!
