This downtown drug store reminds me of the ones from my hometown area back in IL. It has that…read moreold/small town feel that reminds you of years ago. They carry a large variety of items if you needs to pick up a gift or just something for the home. The staff here is super friendly and always helpful. I wish more businesses were like this. I'll choose Kemper over CVS or Walgreens anyday.

This pharmacy is the best! They go above and beyond to help their customers. I can't say enough…read moreabout how they helped my mom get a medication not even Walgreens or CVS would even take the ime to get! They aim to serve. Thanks Rachel and the other pharmacy staff, if you didn't take the time to help my mom would of been in a terrible situation. Bless you!!!

My favorite place to shop in Anoka. Great finds! One of a kind so if you see it, buy it. I…read moremissed out on a couple of items due to not acting now. Friendly atmosphere.

Emerald Isle is one of the best antique stores in Anoka…read more This store is mostly a huge antique mall. It takes up almost the entire "Old Post Office" building on downtown Anoka - 1st floor, 2nd floor, and basement. You enter up the big exterior steps and through the antique front doors. But the actual store entrance is inside the front lobby of the old US Post Office. The number of vendors and the quality of the merchandise is impressive. There seems to be something for everyone. I'd estimate about 10% of the merchandise can be considered non-antique items like hand made crafts and reproduction stuff. I particularly like one of the vendors on the 2nd floor. He has a lot of very high quality, rare, and fairly expensive stuff from early 1900s and a few things from the late 1800s. This dude has really good taste in antiques! My daughter liked the vendor in back, on the first floor, with a lot of music, beer, and Americana related stuff. Many of his things are reproductions but he also has a few originals here & there. My wife really liked the rock & roll stuff in the basement and some of the funky shoes. The two women that own Emerald Isle are also very nice and helpful. We really enjoyed talking to them. Stop in if you're in the area. You won't regret it.

Such a cute boutique with the friendliest staff! Love the variety of gifts and clothing.read more

I love their bare root barn in the spring, in about April. I especially like that they've changed…read moreto a preorder system. No more driving up from the cities only to find out they are out of the trees I was hoping for. The bare root trees are, of course, young, but more established than the seedlings you could get from the state nursery. And you don't have to buy 100! This is a great option if you are on a really tight budget and/or looking to reforest an area. I always take a swing through the garden center as well. There are some great bargains on garden decor, as long as you know your prices. Good gift shopping.

I've previously loved Nelson's Nursery…read more This last experience I had preordering: - I emailed several times with no replies. - I called multiple times asking to talk about an order change. Several of those I was told I'd be called back, I never was. - I called again saying I'd like a refund a month ago, and only then I was told "no problem, we'll get it" - Nelson's called me with pickup times over the weeks of waiting... when talking with them, they'd then tell me they were mistaken and they didn't have it or know when it was coming in. - I got an email on Friday saying it was ready for pickup - and then I drove there with a trailer only for them to tell me it's not there. I waited for 20minutes while people ran around trying to find someone that knew about this situation. I was told I would be called on Monday. The manager couldn't be bothered to talk to me in person. Yesterday I received no call. - No offer for any sort of compensation to right this wrong. - I finally get a chance to talk to them on the phone and they take zero responsibility for these issues. I asked them for my money back. They had the rude audacity to tell me that because they have an extra tree they are the victim of this situation. I've tried to talk to a manager, nope. I've tried reaching out to senior management, nope. This place is incredibly mismanaged and unorganized. There are better nurseries out there, I'll be recommending those to others in the future.

I had the best experience using flowers plus of Elk River. My niece had a special occasion that I…read morewas unable to attend and wanted to make sure she got flowers to mark the occasion. They followed up on the phone to make sure that I received what I wanted. I ran out of room on the online form. I requested they deliver them after she got home from school so she was able to get them herself. She was absolutely thrilled that they were for her and got to get them. My only complaint was that it had a lot of greenery that I thought it took away from the flowers. But it was a really nice arrangement. Will definitely order from again!
