My husband and I had a very nice lunch here, I loved my grilled cheese and soup, plus picked up some day old peanut butter chocolate chip cookies (YUM) and some nice lattes to fortify ourselves before a Target shopping run. There is a LOT to see here aside from food and this is a great gift shopping spot. I will absolutely come back here when I am in the area next time!

Relaxing atmosphere with seating available to the side. It is in the middle of a large retail shop, so there's plenty to look at while you wait to order.

The Chocolate Ox in Nisswa is such a fun little stop, especially if you have kids. The shop is…read morepacked with candy, toys, Jellycat animals, and so many colorful things to look at that it almost feels like stepping into a candy wonderland. The ice cream itself was good, though the flavor selection was a bit smaller than we expected. We also wish they offered a smaller child-sized scoop since the standard scoops are pretty large at around $5 each. Still, the atmosphere was cheerful and memorable, and it's definitely the kind of place we'd visit again on a future trip to Nisswa.

I…read morelove looking at all the Knick knacks but I have to dedicate more time in my day to really enjoy and look at everything. I was really rushed this day and my daughter didn't want to look around anymore because there was just too much. This is a great place for souvenirs if you are looking for that. Lots of unique kitchen stuff. A whole kids toys section. A few food items, like premade soups and dips. A small jewelry section. A whole shoe store in the back. It is very organized for having so much stuff in one place. The employees are usually very friendly there too. Prices are decent, it's a place where if you need the items then and there it is ok but you can probably find a better deal elsewhere.

Cozy little coffee shop in Crosby! Big kudos to them because it was delicious coffee and also had…read moresome very fun specialty menu items that made it hard to pick. I had the Carmel Butter Breve that had a nice butterscotch flavor to it. Some of the prices are a little high, but if their ingredients are made in house it would certainly be worth it; it was delicious none the less! The three young girls working were all very friendly and efficient as well. They had a fun white board "poll" where you could write your favorite summer memory which was a cute character of this small town energy

A Kava House company that DOES NOT SELL KAVA?!! That's like the international House of Pancakes not…read morehaving pancakes. LOCATION: Next to Victuals which I recommend you go to if you want a place that delivers more than expected. There's limited street parking. First come, first served. DECOR: Minimalistic and modernly clean and sleek. Mostly white with natural accents of wood and metals. DRINKS: NO KAVA do I want interested in else was there. FOOD: There was plenty of 90's era candy. Warheads, ring pops, pop rocks and sugar daddys. It was a blast from the past. STAFF: Kind, apologetic and youthful. EXPERIENCE: My partner has never had kava before and decides to stop in at this place. She's very excited about trying kava which she's heard so much about. So we walk inside and it's as quiet as a library. No music and no conversation as though everyone stopped talking when we walked in. We walked to the front counter and asked where the kava was on the menu. Then we were told how the kava house has no kava. If it weren't for the nostalgic candy and cute decor, I'd say 1 star. It's the only reason we even stopped in. That's literally false advertisement. The very kind and sweet staff told us that it wasn't even legal for them to sell kava because they were minors. So you work at a Kava House that doesn't sell kava because it employs minors or the kava house is a lie and doesn't even have kava? Either way, why would I come back? I can get candy and coffee at a candy or coffee shop.

All we can say is Wow! regarding Main Lazy One gift shop. Laura who was the shopkeeper was so…read morefriendly and helpful while we were shopping. We were first disappointed they were closed on our Twosday anniversary 2-22-22 while visiting Park Rapids during our four day celebration, but Laura worked hard to open the store on a Wednesday after a snowstorm. Their collections of unique gifts is impressive and we purchased so many gifts, many unique to Park Rapids. Our last day in Parks Rapids was made so much better thanks to the gift suggestions made by Laura. This has to be the best gift shop in Park Rapids.

Tacky new old stock. This A Frame gift shop is stuck in a 1975 time warp. There were jellies and…read morecandy and wild rice. I personally would not recommend buying as one assumes it's outdated like everything in this store. At the entrance there is a car from the 1970's with flat tires. There are plenty of native American or do I say Indigenous people handicrafts. The new old stock is 1980 type of t shirts, magnets, alligator teeth, etc. I didn't buy anything. Nothing appealed to me. The red letters on outside on building need to be repainted badly. They sell Minnetonka Moccasin shoes but many looked outdated. There is 1 A frame building and a side room with more stuff. If you're looking for Quirky, this store fits the bill.

I'm truly sorry about the low rating, but I'm so pissed off after stopping at the winery today…read more Even though there was no event on the back patio, the owners had decided that the patio would be closed because it was "too hot and the air quality wasn't too good." We've been stopping at Dennis Drummond for years (in the summer only) and never had this problem in the past, although once we were told that they didn't want the staff going out to wait on us on the patio (no problem, since we grabbed our wine, glasses, and pretzels inside, paid for everything, and we didn't need anyone to wait on us). First, today's air quality was better than it has been earlier in the week (wildfires in Canada caused very smoky conditions for the previous two days). Second, we noticed two people sitting at a table outside in FRONT of the establishment--was the heat and air quality any better in front than in back? Third, in Minnesota, many of us LIVE for warm weather when we don't have to wear coats, boots, hats, etc. Fourth, this is a resort area, and we don't know of any other establishments with outdoor seating that won't allow patrons to sit outdoors, a fact we proved when we stopped at two other places after our disappointing stop at Dennis Drummond. Fifth, this place has NEVER been very busy when we've stopped there--can they really afford to turn away local business, or do they rely on people renting the place for events like weddings? For those of you familiar with the Brainerd Lakes area, can you imagine Ernie's, Zorbaz (both on Gull Lake), or Moonlight Bay (on Crosslake) refusing to allow guests to sit outdoors in the summer? That would NEVER happen. We had a gift certificate we were going to use, but now I don't know when we would ever use it. I'm still so mad I could spit.
