Tare Market Nokomis - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Wow I love living so close to this! I’m working so hard to reduce my waste and this place has helped so much! They had my laundry detergent, essential oils and even the white vinegar I needed to make my homemade steam cleaner solution. They have a good selection and I only hope that they eventually add fresh produce. Thank you for serving our community!

Such a fantastic idea. Not a huge selection, but most of what you need to operate your home can be found here. I can only hope it catches on more and we can see places like this outside of the urban marketplace.

The store is clean and well organized. They have sales but even without them, everything is reasonably priced, great quality, organic and locally sourced. The staff is friendly and answered all of my questions...I had many. Highly recommend this store!

Tare Market is wonderful and I wish there were more throughout the metro! The store is bright, modern, and lovely.

They have waste-free packing on tons of products - way more than I thought they would! Ketchup, mustard, spices, coffee, tea, dry pasta, granola bars, fig newton bars, straws, food wrap wax, makeup, soap, dishwashing soap, scrubbers, dog shampoo and treats, storage containers, Castile soap, and much, much, more! They also try to source from local vendors. I bought something from a company in St. Paul!

Bring your own clean containers (or they have containers you can purchase) and stock up on products. The staff are very friendly and will help you tare your goods so don't be intimidated!

I came here for a class called, "Transition Your Home to Zero Waste" where one of the owners gave a presentation on starting a waste-free lifestyle. I learned SO much, took tons of notes, and am planning to get started on living a greener lifestyle. The Tare Market website has lots of classes - check them out because they fill up fast!

For prices, I think everything was reasonable. I didn't have anything to compare it to but it seemed well-priced. I bought a 10-pack of facial rounds ($7.99), Dental floss with a refill ($7.49), a mason jar drink lid ($8.99), a lip/cheek tint combo ($11.99). Because I signed up for the class ($10) I got $5 off my storage purchase.

I can't wait to shop here again as I use up what I have and need to replace items.

Love the bulk and eco friendly products! I love getting my spices here because I can use my own containers and get only the amount I want! I find that it comes out cheaper to get spices here than the grocery store. Bring your own containers for food, or leave some for others to reuse. The staff are very friendly and helpful! I love the locally made skincare and hygiene products they carry! Check their website for current Terracycle boxes to dispose of things ranging from gift cards to cosmetics containers, food wrappers, razor blades and more!

Tare is a beautiful store, kind staff, and since I tend to spill (in life in general) wherever I go, it's so nice to have towels around the shelves just for that purpose! I always get excited to refill my jars and containers at Tare, and pick up a little sweet treat like the chocolate pretzels 🤗 The only thing is sometimes the price, for example this shaker of garlic granules (garlic powder) came out to $13.71, when at the chain stores it might only be a few bucks. A refill bottle of body wash for $8.57, perhaps double what the original bottle cost at Target. I wish I could shop more at Tare as I'd love to support less packaging and waste, but the prices (for me) are somewhat of a barrier. 😭

I love that this place exists! There is a thoughtful curation of materials sold. Come prepared with your own canisters or rent some from them!

Amazing place for the zero-waste veteran or newcomer. Good bulk pricing and options. Great spice and coffee selection. Lots of sustainable options to up your zero-waste game! They even have extra bags and containers if you forget to bring yours in! Can't wait for more stores like this to pop up.
