Mmmm...went on a downtime weekday for some pancakes. Omg they're delicious!

On the way out, a Down syndrome gal rode the escalator with me and tried to get on my car. That was fun. Pancakes with dingleberries were wonderfully good!

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.

Great location and plenty of parking in the lot. I visited with my daughter on a Tuesday afternoon…read moreso it wasn't busy at all. We were greeted by a salesman names James who took his time to understand what I was looking for and showed me all of the options I had in store and then took me back to re-review! He even did some homework helping me with measurements and such! He was so kind and patient and very helpful in offering opinions and suggestions. I'm an indecisive person so he helped me narrow things down and asked all the right questions. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything which I appreciated! I plan to bring my husband back! Lots of home decor options for every season with 3 levels and varying prices.

Even helped move furniture, to help us compare chairs and color options to the loveseat we were interested in. Made a fantastic no pressure sale! She is our sales lady going forward!

This place is amazeballs, as so many others have said…read more It's also very cramped and hot and for summer 2025, the parking is going to suck bc of construction. Are you still up for it? Good. You'll have a great time if this kind of place is your jam. And if you have tweens-young adults in your life who like this kind of place, they will think you are very cool for bringing them here. There are places to sit down both inside and outside. You will admire so many things! You will buy a notebook.

Wow! So much to look at! Spent a fun hour or so meandering through all the vintage finds. I wished…read moreI'd known about the bottom level, I could have spent another hour! Loved all the unique pieces, could have bought more than my bust of Apollo, but I had to pack whatever I could in my suitcase haha. The bus was a little pricey at $50 but I love it and there were plenty of staff around if you needed help finding anything I did ask if they had any marble chess boards, they did not thankfully for me. It probably would've been another hundred lol fun time searching around!

Wendy was amazing! Very knowledgeable and friendly. She knows her stuff and answered all our…read morequestions. The sale going at the time I got 2 of the biggest love sacs for what I could have gotten one online! I'll be getting couches next!!

I haven't purchased this furniture yet but I am doing the research. Did you know that the frame and…read morehard items have a lifetime warranty? They do. The covers on this furniture is held on by velcro and is easily removed for machine washing or you can replace a fabric if damaged/stained. You could purchase new fabric instead of replacing your furniture. You can get this life-long set up or buy 8 couches or so in your lifetime. It is expensive but I feel that it is a good value. They are easy to work with to get you a quote so you are aware of the cost of what you want. Check this out.

Great store to get some apparel from Minnesota. So t-shirts. They got the whole works, key chains…read moreand things too. Such a touristy spot to grab items for friends, family and whoever else's if you are in town!

This is pretty much your standard gift shop with a bit of a rustic, Minnesotan twist. My trip to…read moreMinnesota thus far has consistently of getting lost in Downtown Minneapolis and visiting Mall of America, so I haven't seen really any of the abundant wildlife that the state holds. However, it seems like the gifts in this shop pay a fair homage to it. In addition to having gifts, they also had Minnesota snacks and other trinkets that hail from the state. My purchases consisted of two fridge magnets, some postcards, and two masks, all of which ran me $30, which seems to be right in between steep and reasonable.

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!

Located within walking distance of the Mall of America, this IKEA has all the usual great items,…read moreand an indoor parking lot that will make you very happy throughout the winter. I've been an IKEA fan since they debuted decades ago in the States, and since have been to their stores all over North America and Japan. This one has everything that you would expect, and their customer service was IKEA-level great as always. 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. I love this place, and we also bought some household items that are both useful and unique.

First lets talk about location...its pretty great, not too far off Hwy 100 and Excelsior…read more There are plenty of other stores in the area, but they have their own parking lot so you don't have to try to scavenge for street parking. I came in specifically to look at Joybird sofas as they are an authorized retailer and have sofas on the sales floor. Its scary to make an online purchase (and such a large, custom purchase) without touching and feeling an item, so I was thrilled to learn this store was so close to home and had what I was looking to purchase. I had a great time working with Kristin. After countless emails and a couple visits to the store I ordered my sofa, and also ended up with a chair and lamp. Kristin was great to offer her designer opinion while listening to mine and helping me make the big decision based on my existing home design. They offer financing (OAC) and 'white glove' delivery (they take all the packaging stuff with them when they leave, set the item in the room of your choosing) just like Joybird, but they will for other items you purchase there, too. The kicker is the 2 week in home trial period. Keep it for two weeks and if you decide you hate it they will take it back to the store and offer you store credit to replace the item. This really eased my worry about spending 2K on a sofa I may not like as much in person. I can't wait until it arrives! They also have home decor items here, like pillows and lamps. Its a super fun place to just look around and get inspiration, or fall in love with a custom fox lamp which would totally look amazing on your nightstand. Or maybe that fun mounted anatomical model of a heart on your desk. Or maybe that chair with acrylic arms. You get the idea... Inventory is changing constantly, so visit often. See you there!

I walked in my with my kelly green coat and my hot pink pants and immediately saw some bright…read moreorange chairs and a sales person that had purple hair. I immediately knew I was going to be at home in this store. There was furniture and accessories, for you neutral people there was plenty of that. For those of us who like color, plenty of that too. My designer Billie was super sweet and let me browse but also let me know that anything can be custom ordered and that this is just a small sampling of what they can get for me. I wasn't sure if I could afford it so I had her price out a chair for me it was $1100 but they had a 20% off sale so it would be $880. I'm new to furniture shopshopping so I went to another store later (La-Z-Boy) and it was comparable to that. I walked in at 20 minutes to closing on a Sunday night, but Billie didn't seem rushed at all. I was the one saying "let's just wrap this up. Can you give me something to look at online?" And she gave me two websites she thought I would like based on our conversations and looking at what they have to offer. I will see where our furniture shopping journey takes me but I plan to be back!
