I frequented Central Park Commons often while in Eagan. This shopping plaza with restaurants is…read moreroughly a two-minute drive from my hotel. It's set up like a mini neighbourhood. I like this plaza a lot. It has a standalone Starbucks with a drive-thru. Staff are always friendly and I enjoy coming here. Yes, it satisfies the tea addiction that I have. Recently, I spent more time figuring out what businesses are here. It has a Bank of America with a drive-thru. It is perfect for me to withdraw US funds, as I have a Tangerine account and I don't incur any charges when I do. My greatest find was Hawaii Poke Bowl. It has dole whip, which I absolutely love. I also had the rainbow poke bowl, which was amazing. It is rare to find an eatery with a perfect Yelp five-star rating where more than 60 Yelpers have reviewed it. Hy-Vee is the grocery store that anchors this plaza. Although I have yet to set foot in this store, Hy-Vee was my go-to grocery store when I lived in Rochester. I dropped by Marshalls and HomeGoods. It's a combo store. They look new and have everything from clothes to floor lamps. I love staying in Eagan. The shopping is great and this plaza is no exception. It has everything that I love and need. I simply need more time to visit every store and restaurant here. It should take me a few more visits. (102)

If you're down to scrounge, this place might be for you (I'd just urge you to wash your hands after). That said, I specifically went here today because I needed a stapler. Mine went missing when I moved (probably in some box I've yet to unpack in my storage unit), and there's zero need to purchase a brand new stapler when I know I can get an old reliable Swingline from a thrift place like this (plus, I remembered on my first amble through here that they had a whole basket of staplers). Sure enough, I was able to acquire a stapler. But you can bet your ass that I brought along some staples to test out said staplers... the first one I picked up had a busted spring, but the second was fully functional. Both had been priced at $3. I mention this simply as a word of warning to consider testing before you buy.) I also picked up a bobbin thread case and a quart sized bag of crayons (both priced at $3) while I was there. This place is good for finding the kind of craft stuff your granny would keep around at a low price. And honestly, you're doing the environment a BIG favor to snag this kind of thing off a thrift store shelf rather than "convenience buy" it off Amazon or whatever. You can save money and feel good about yourself. The rest of the store has stuff like glassware, clothing, kids stuff, and holiday decor. It's not all amazing stuff. I reckon a lot of folks donate stuff they don't care to sort through when an elderly parent finally kicks it. The employee behind the checkout counter was a little slow to bother acknowledging me, but once we were interacting, they were friendly enough and wished me a good day; seemed like they were happy I actually bought something instead of just browsing.

My friends and I were profiled at Lovisa. We spent $300 and the employee who checked us out, called…read morethe cops. She decided to say that we stole to police even after she told security that we were free to go because "if they say that they didn't steal, then they didn't steal". We got cornered by police in the parking lot and my friend was put in handcuffs while being interviewed by police. My friends are black and Hispanic. My friend and I both got panic attacks and it became a very dangerous situation where we both couldn't breathe. To that Lovisa employee, you are the fattest mf I've ever had the displeasure of laying my eyes on and you are a racist piece of sh*t. I hope you have a terrible life for the pain you put people through. Please leave your job and never work in customer service if you can't be a proper member of society. I hope you are fired. To everyone reading this: please be careful if you decide to shop at Lovisa. Their employees will profile you.

I really love their $1 reusable bags; they're usually displayed on the barrier wall near the check out area. Product selection varies greatly, but patience can pay off sometimes.

It's nicely lit and I like the merchandise that I saw. The floor lamps were nice. I wish that I could buy one and bring it back home, but it's not practical bringing such a purchase on a plane. Not a bright idea... haha! I do like the kitchen accessories. The storage containers were pretty, durable, and cool. I liked the Sistema snack containers. I was tempted to get one, but I truly didn't need it. I like how fancy cupcake carriers are getting. Hey, you have to protect precious baked goods when they are on the move. I enjoyed looking at the cell phone accessories, too. There was a cute Mickey Mouse case for an iPhone. It's unfortunate that there isn't a whole lot for Google Pixel phones. Since it's a Marshalls-HomeGoods combo store, they share the same checkout area. It comes in handy when you are purchasing merchandise from both. I like this store. I'd come back again. (110)

This is hands down my favorite Costco. It's always fully stocked with a great selection, well-run,…read moreand the staff are consistently friendly and helpful. If you know what to look for, they have amazing deals on wine/liquor, easily some of the best value around. Over the last year, they really upped their game in the bakery department, and especially great for hosting or having extra treats on hand. One heads-up about the parking lot: if you're getting gas, don't try to cross at the main stop sign. There's a much easier way to loop left and come around the back, which saves a lot of time and frustration. Once you know it, it's a game changer. I also love getting gas here because the savings really add up. Pro tip: use the Costco app. It makes things quicker and helps you keep track of deals. They also regularly have great gift card deals like (Uber, Top Golf, local restaurants), usually $15-25 off, which is an easy win. Plus their pharmacy is always way cheaper than I've found elsewhere.

I was surprised and Ben did an amazing job ringing us up at the register. He did it with a smile and was super professional.
