I spotted Love From Minnesota as I was sitting at Caribou Coffee, which is steps away. After finishing my drink, I paid this store a visit. I like a store that also has Rochester items. I liked the tea towel that pinpointed where Rochester was. When you mention Rochester, most folks think of the city in New York. Nope, that Rochester doesn't have the Mayo Clinic like the one in Minnesota does. There were Christmas items on sale, from socks to ornaments. The pine cone hedge hogs with Santa hats were adorable! There were plenty of sweatshirts and apparel flaunting the state. I loved a geode in state form. It was cool. It also has general gift items, such as punny gnome socks. I spent quite a bit of time browsing everything. I may have to go back and get the cork coaster set that declares one's love for Minnesota. It seems fitting that I should have them. I had a good browsing experience. I'd come back again. (27)

This year I ordered over $200 worth for my Dad and myself. When I received it, I was so disappointed as it was not at all the same. I called my Dad and he said he felt the same, but didn't say anything because he didn't want to hurt my feelings. I called and they did give me a full refund which was great but I am writing this in hopes that more people will say something and the company will go back to the recipe they used before. I heard in the last year or so, they have a new owner and I'm sure their efforts were well meaning, but the lefse now tastes like paper. Please go back to your previous recipe!!!
