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.

My wife and I have been in this shop a couple of times and we both like it. I'd say it's probably 3 1/2 stars. It's owned, operated, and stocked primarily by a mother & daughter along with some other family members. Since this isn't a "mall" with hundreds of independent sellers, it's better than average because they're free to sell whatever they want...not just whatever small nick-nack crap they can cram into a little rented corner. Both the mother and the daughter are very nice. They're also dog lovers. This is reflected in the larger variety of canine themed antiques you can find sprinkled throughout the store. My wife and I get a kick out of this since we love dogs too. BTW, I talked to them about the previous negative review on Yelp. They told me that they have a policy of not buying anything from people who walk-in off the street. They have this policy out of a concern about not accidentally buying stolen merchandise. So they never buy from people who just come in with something, no matter what it is or how good it looks. Anyway... Thanks for selling us some nice items and thanks for the nice conversation about dogs and antiques! -Daddy Maxx Retro

I attended one of their flea markets today, that's when other antique vendors set up outside the perimeter of the house with their own goods. On flea market days, the white house items are an extra 20% off ( excluding sale items). All sales are final. Very fun place to walk thru, reminded me of all those antique shops in the Stillwater area. There are so many little spaces to discover and dig thru. In one of the rooms they even have free coffee to sample! Free parking in the lot next to it, in addition to free street parking in downtown Anoka. All the staff were welcoming and smiling as we came thru.

Never stepping foot in here again and will recommend to everyone I know to never even think of considering this store. It should be an option to give negative stars. What a dump.
