This place has the absolute best meat, hands down, that you will find in Cedar Rapids at the price points offered. Literally after eating their NY Strip, I passed out in a food coma until 4 AM on my couch. The produce is so fresh, and everything is so affordable! The food is healthy. Honestly it reminds me of New Pioneer but not outrageously expensive and with helpful and nice employees. Oh! They have roasted chickens! They are delicious and cheap - and they offer call-ahead for pickup. Love this place, shop here 2-3 times a week!!! Positive impact on neighborhood too!! Read More

Had plenty of suggestions on different products. Fresh produce for FREE! Simple hot food items available. All fresh meat. I have never seen such fresh looking pieces of raw meat. This store needs so much more hype. Absolutely amazing! Parking is not the best, but so worth it. Read More

I’m so glad to have a convenient option in my neighborhood. It’s nice not having to go to the big grocery stores. They even provide free produce for those in need! Read More

Cheapest place in town for bread & other items. And is always willing to price match! This corner store is so underappreciated for all that they do. I hope it becomes a staple store to many others soon 🙏 Read More

It's a great place. We went first into the store and saw one of the volunteers there. She explained that this is a non-profit store. Its intention is to provide lower-cost food for people directly in this area. The fact that they only charge for the cost and not for their own profit helps with that. They need to make up for that with volunteerism and donations. One of the things you can do is at the register donate up to the nearest dollar. She also said that money goes to pay for food from their own stock and it goes into a free food refrigerator pantry. I was impressed with the quantity and quality of food for sale. They had good beers and I sampled their wines outside the store. Very good. I think some of their food vegetables and so on are from their own locally grown Matthew 25 Garden. They also have things li Read More
