It's always a must to stop by the restaurant before shopping for my family…read more Food isn't gourmet, and sometimes has a pretty bland taste, but it's not bad for the price. Most meals are under $10. There's deals on certain days for Ikea Family rewards members, so be sure to sign up for that. Overall, tasty and a cheap eat to grab before you shop. Service is usually friendly and quick, typically not too long of a line to get food. Many seating options near the windows that look out to the mall or the airport. Be sure to check out the dining downstairs as well! As for the furniture, their items are much like their food; okay for the price, but overall pretty bland, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially if you're a little creative and know how to accessorize.

I also like when the Christmas displays come around. So many things to look at. I feel like they usually have coupons or deals via the rewards system which is cool. I feel like most of the staff are in the front end and they are usually nice. I sometimes find pops from other countries to try or even exotic snacks. It's always fun to just go see what they have to offer from time to time.

I've been wanting to check out World Market for over a year-ish. I happened to be in the area and…read moreit was right there, so decided to zip in and check it out. I really had no idea what to expect, but as soon as I walked thru the door, was a cart with coffee and tea offerings. I tried both which they were lukewarm (not surprised as this was evening time when I was in there), but the tea was tasty. Then I went in browsing the store myself. There were sections with Christmas related merchandise and just other merchandise. I naturally gravitated towards the stationary/book section-- lots of offerings there. The food/drink sections were huge. Lots of items to explore including international items as well. I thought that was very neat. I briefly looked at the jewelry/aromatherapy section. I found a few pieces of jewelry I'd wear, super cute! Lastly, I headed over to the kitchen section. Found some really cool plates and other kitchen items. I do have to say I was a little disappointed that I passed 3 employees during my visit and not one even acknowledged me. I thought that was very strange and unacceptable. You should say hello to customers when they visit the store. Customer service skills are a large part of customer satisfaction and help decide if the customer will be returning or not. Overall, my first time here was enjoyable and glad I stopped in to check it out. I' think if/when I'm in the area I'll stop back in to see what new goodies they have that time around. I do have to share, I appreciate how bright, spacious, and neatly organized this store is.

Once inside it's just like every other Hobby Lobby, all of your crafting needs and prices are easy to find/understand. I feel like this store used to have better clearance and sales but lately there's nothing great going on in that department. Check out is where it gets a little rough for me. There are never enough workers. We are always waiting in line for 15 minutes and it really slows down the entire trip. I tend to go on my lunch breaks but I have had to stop because I'm not convinced I'll be out in time. If you need something you'll probably find it here, but make sure you have enough time to not only find it but to check out.

Well, I wanted a lot, but decided can only get a few things, so I picked a new crossbody bag and a new soap. Can't go wrong! Shelves and racks still had a ton of merchandise on them. I'm wondering if I should go back, haha! Staff were friendly. Prices were good....50 percent off things. Items include: sweatshirts, t-shirts, soaps, nick knacks, magnets, etc. I'd say if you're at MOA worth checking out.

The Prince display in the front caught my eye and from there I decided to browse a bit. They actually had a lot of cool stuff. I did end up picking up a purple "Minnesota" shirt, they had it in pink & purple. The pink ones were marked down but not the purple but when I got to the register I was surprised to find out the purple was also on sale. Also found a few other little things. Prices are for sure similar to the airport shops. The guy working was nice & friendly.

I met up with a friend here while visiting from out of town, and she suggested meeting at IKEA…read morespecifically to look at their fabric. I was a little skeptical because I thought they had discontinued their fabric line a few years earlier. I was pleasantly surprised that the fabric selection is officially back! The only thing is that you no longer need to cut your own from a bolt; instead, they sell it in precut 3 meter length. The patterns and quality are just as awesome as they used to be, and it is really convenient if you're working on home textiles or quick craft projects. The only drawback to our visit was the timing. My only piece of advice is to ensure you do not arrive 30 minutes before the store closes. IKEA is simply too massive to navigate efficiently under a time crunch, and you will not have enough time to browse properly. Give yourself a solid window to shop!

Had to open our visit with one of their delicious lunch, dining on Swedish meatballs with grave, mashed potatoes, and tasty veggies. It's good pricing, clean, easy.
