Minsk Market

Everything always fresh. You won’t find better quality in MN. The only place I go shopping for Russian food. Never been disappointed.

I have to say this place is nice. I went here for a snack and came out with all sorts of good candies, cookies and of course some water to wash it all down. The staff was friendly. I will be going back here frequently.

A little bigger then a typical russian store this particular store can fill a childhood void in my heart. They sell a few types of chocolate candies that I used to eat growing up, thus I am paying 5.99 per pound for nostalgia.
For the rest of the folks, they have a good selection of breads, cheeses and meats. The deli looks quite good, and we have tried an number of items from there and almost all were delicious and authentic. There is also an abundance of pickled everything.
They also have a selection of good breads, something every Russian persons soul longs for.
Service is typical for a russian store, never seen an american in there, so I have no idea whether they are naughty or nice when it comes to you guys.

This is a Russian grocery store where all customers, attendants and the owner are Russian ex-​pats. The store is pretty big considering that it’s in a non-​urban area. Nice selection of cheeses from smoked Gouda to Yogurt cheese, cured meats (not sure what they are because I don’t eat meat but some of them looked very good) and fish, 2 aisles of various candy, 20+ of cookies, several freshly prepped veggie salads, jarred veggies and jams… Minsk Market had almost all of the items I was looking for: ‘tvorog’ farmers cheese, ‘tort’ cakes (they had 10 – 12 kinds of russian cakes in deli section), ‘seledka’, natural plain ‘Kefir’ and ‘semechki’ sunflower seeds. The only thing that I couldn’t find there was ‘moiva’ (not sure how to translate it :)
The service at the deli is ok: the younger lady is very nice, the older woman is slightly grouchy. The lady at the cashier desk is the most pleasant and always smiley!
