River Market Community Co-op

River Market is my go to for just about everything. They have a phenomenal selection of natural healing products, I’ve been able to find so many ingredients I needed there that I can’t get at the big box grocery stores. Even the scent of the store is comforting when you walk in.

I stopped at the River Market Community Co-op for the first time on Tuesday, September 13th, 2022. I was in the middle of a long bike ride and I wanted something to eat. I tried their burrito and it really is an 'Awesome Burrito' as advertised! Everyone in the market is so nice and polite. The store is very clean and organized. They have an excellent inventory of all kinds of healthy foods and drinks. It was a nice discovery on a late summer bicycle ride. I will be returning to this market very soon.

If you are out on a bike ride or just strolling around Stillwater and you feel like treating yourself, this is a nice option.

River Market has a wonderful staff and excellent produce. I always enjoy my visits.

I love my local co-op. The bulk-section is quite nice, and I can bring my own containers so I'm not making extra waste. Good place to find fair trade products. Great deli sandwiches. Staff is always very friendly. I enjoy shopping here a lot more than at a standard mega-grocery store.

Eureka I've found it!
Since my introduction to the Cuban Sandwich at Tony O's little stand on the 3rd level at Target Field 10 years ago, I've been in search of it's equal. I haven't found one in the Twin Cities... or any other place I've visited for that matter! Today my search ended at River Market. This is a new item at the deli and let me tell you, I'd probably be willing to pay twice as much for it, amazing...and not only will I be back, I'll be telling all my friends! Special shout out to the young ladies working there on 6/9/23. My granddaughter and I were just one of 3 pairs waiting to order at 5:56. With closing at 6, I figured we were too late, but they graciously stayed and took all our orders, though I could tell they were shutting down. This wouldn't happen in many places... we would have been turned away. Thanks girls!

Fantastic! I am so grateful for the kind, thorough assistance I receive. As an old timer from the beginning days of this coop, I am committed to supporting this newest version of the market. Yes, "Cooperation" has remained the purist thread of store operation. I am proud to be a memer.
PEACE 🧘‍♀

I really love that we can get fresh, organic foods and environmentally friendly cleaning supplies. They take sustainability seriously and it means everything!!!

This locally cherished spot offers an abundant array of farm-fresh produce, a veritable cornucopia of spices in bulk, and a delectable assortment of nutritious, mouth-watering foods. Not to mention, their parking situation is a dream come true for any downtown shopper.

On a recent visit, I had the good fortune to engage in an enlightening conversation with a friendly deli counter employee about their renowned pesto pizza. The exchange unfolded as follows:

"Excuse me," I began tentatively, "I've heard great things about your pesto pizza. What makes it so special?"

The employee beamed with pride, responding, "Our pesto pizza is crafted with a rich, homemade basil pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, and a blend of mozzarella and feta cheese. It's baked to perfection on a scrumptious, crispy crust."

"I must say, that sounds positively divine," I replied, my taste buds already tingling with anticipation. "Is there a secret ingredient or technique that sets it apart?"

"Well," the employee leaned in conspiratorially, "it's not much of a secret, but we use only the freshest, locally sourced ingredients. Plus, our pesto is made in-house, which really adds a certain je ne sais quoi."

My curiosity piqued, I couldn't resist asking, "What do you think would pair well with your pesto pizza? I'm on the lookout for a non-alcoholic beverage, as I'll be driving later."

The employee thought for a moment before suggesting, "I'd recommend our house-made ginger lemonade. Its zesty, tangy flavor complements the richness of the pizza quite nicely."

Needless to say, I left the River Market Community Co-op with a satisfied smile and a newfound appreciation for their dedication to quality, locally sourced ingredients, and the delightful people who make it all happen. It's a true testament to the vibrant spirit of Stillwater.

Love this place so much! Always have what I need for making my own tea concoctions, elderberry syrup shots and much more! More healthier than any other store!

Can you ever go wrong with a neighborhood Coop? Not with this one!
Their staff is always so friendly and willing to help you with anything you need.
I am always amazed at how knowledgeable the staff is about their products and that they will actually go get someone else who knows about you're question if they don't have the answer.
Their deli area always serves up the finest of products, and their produce and bulk sections are just awesome. Their presentation alone just makes you wanna eat some!!
I love hearing the employees greeting all the regular members that come in.....by name!!! That's a personal touch that just can't be beat!!
I also love that they have all the little extra things like water jugs, hand sewn face masks, locally made hats and gloves, and just a bunch more cool stuff!!
If you're looking for a healthy, clean, and fun place to shop and help support you're local farmers, growers, and artisans.....then look no further!!

I have been near this place hundreds of times, but today was the first time I went inside.

What an excellent place!! Very clean and organized. So many things that I wanted to leave with!!

A great variety of food/drink and the staff was very friendly.

I will be stopping in here every time I'm in Stillwater from now on.

Was in the area for work stopped in and got a burrito made. It was delicious!

It's right in the middle of town so convenient for us who live here.

Nice convenient little co-op grocery store. It's a little on the small side, but has a pretty good selection of items.

We stopped in for the first time today, we were sent a $10 certificate for our first visit so we stopped in to grab some snacks for the day. The place smells amazing and has some awesome choices. The employees also seemed very happy to be there. Prices were a little higher but if you're looking for organic and what not they are very fair prices. Awesome location. Would reccomend.

My family loves this place. The cost to join is very reasonable. I think I've already made back my membership fee in bonus points. If you live in the river valley, just sign up. I feel healthier just being in the place! Sure, the produce is a little expensive, but you really do get what you pay for. They always have an interesting selection of stuff you just won't find at Cub. The bins in the back are always stocked with wonderful granolas, nuts, grains and rice that are just a pleasure to prepare. If the Co-Op ever gets tossed off Main Street, I'm going to be very upset. It's a Stillwater mainstay. Keep it up folks!

They have a great sandwich bar with gluten free and vegan options. They rest of the store has a great selection of products from produce to meats, the vegetarian food as well. The staff is friendly and they usually have local made gifts throughout the store.

My favorite sandwich is the Charlie Brown, brings me back to when I was kid! It has peanut butter, cream cheese and raisins on it! They have a lot to choose from.

I really like shopping at food co-ops. You never know what you will find. My friend and I bought a few items. We'll return when we're back in Stillwater. Stillwater is a very quaint town and so much fun to shop at. Lot's of different shops, cooking, clothing, antiques, pet stores and more. I love going in to all the stores, even if it is just window shopping. Even walking along side the river is nice. Stillwater is gorgeous in the Summer. Outdoor dining. There is also gondola ride's. That's so romantic to go on one, I'm sure. I really like Stillwater, Minnesota.

We are long time (40 years; first when it was located up on 'the hill') shoppers, this is a true member supported, run, and managed working food co-op. It is our 'go-to' store for fresh organics. Wonderful variety. The deli is a delight with soup/sandwiches to go. A spacious patio overlooking the river is also a treat.

Old-school co-op - new-school vibes. Great staff are always cordial. Great place .
