More than just a health food store; Mastel’s Health Foods is a local, women-owned wellness destination that fosters health, connection and community.

For more than five decades, Mastel’s has served as a trusted hub for natural wellness in St. Paul. Founded in 1968 by John Mastel, the independent health food store continues its legacy today under the leadership of co-owners Alina Hornfeldt and Lauren Gaffney.

Mastel’s is known for its personalized customer service and wide range of natural products, including vitamins, mineral supplements, organic foods, eco-friendly household goods and non-toxic personal care items. 

Education is central to the store’s mission, with staff training and customer conversations focused on empowering people to make informed wellness choices.

 “Our industry attracts people who truly want to help others,” Hornfeldt says, and that is evident in the satisfaction of their customers. Patrons have described Mastel’s as the best place to go in the Twin Cities for holistic, natural, herbal wellness products. They are open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturdays 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays 12 to 5 p.m.
