I thought Jaymi's review was kind of harsh, until I went there. It's kind of true. I went looking…read morefor Xmas bargains, specifically garland for the tree. What they had was so weird it wouldn't be fit for a grave site. I got half off Xmas cards for next year, cause I'm cheap. Got some birthday cards, most with no message inside. The fun thing I got was a fat birthday cake candle for April. Worth the trip to go to George and the Dragon.

It is a very eclectic store with some cool and funny items. I wish this store was back here at home, because I would buy so much stuff from these guys. If you are in the area, stop on in and get you some cool stuff, you won't be disappointed.

The customer service is very nonexistent…read more I had pre-ordered some balloons and when I arrived, I decided that I wanted to add some to bulk the bunch up a bit so I asked if they had any specialty balloons that say thank you or I appreciate you or something along those lines. I was met with a blank stare, followed by a finger pointed in the general direction of hundreds of balloons on display it was. The balloon Bunch ended up looking lovely.

I am an avid crafter, painting, calligraphy, wax seals...etc. I love popping in here to browse…read more However. They do no honor online pricing. They will do a 40% off online coupon for store pickup or a 25% in store coupon. I always place my order online for in-store pickup. Seems like a waste of the employee's time if I am already in store and have done my shopping. Employees could definitely be friendlier and I would really appreciate just being helped at the register instead of being told self check is available. I always say no thank you and can feel the cashier have an attitude when they have to ring me up. It's very annoying. So again, do your shopping online to save money AND save receiving an attitude.

These guys hosted us years ago for a yelp shopping event. So I stopped in before the yelp event at…read morePortillos which is a 6 minute walk nearby. I found a red Minnesota coin type purse. They have a sale if you buy something, you can get a plush MN blanket for $16.99. The one I wanted wasn't on the shelf, but behind the counter. If I use it, there will be dog hair on it. I might give it away as a gift. The cashier was nice. Support businesses that hosted yelp events in the past. Win Win!

My husband bought a sweatshirt and tea at Love from MN in Roseville. He asked for two receipts,…read moreexplaining he wanted his wife to be able to return the tea if she wasn't interested in it. The clerk said NOTHING about the tea not being able to be returned. I was there today to return the tea. This merchant was DISHONEST by omission, not telling my husband the purchaser the tea could NOT be returned because they considered it food. Buyer beware! This merchant is dishonest by omitting key information to the purchaser.

Also a cute pen, a stamp, and a keychain. I will definitely be back when I need to stock up on cute notepads and stationery items. Staff was super friendly and interested in our purchases and how we heard about the store. They change out the dioramas in the store window seasonally, so definitely don't miss those!

I'm enamored by the selection- Japanese crayons, stationary, little tiny trinkets, miniatures,,, a girl could spend forever in here!

Lots of parking space, clean inside with plenty of space in between isles to walk around and the cafe, as always is a plus. Nice seating area to soak up the sun shine while enjoying a good book with your favorite beverage. Have been to this location many a times and never had any issues with customer service or finding what I was looking for. If they don't have it in stock, they assist you in ordering and get it shipped directly to your home or at the store. There is always a friendly associate available to help you out.

Totally my jam! I spent way more time here than I planned just browsing (no regrets!). I had to take advantage of the $5 monthly book if you buy an item from the cafe. The staff I interacted with were friendly and helpful. The gal at the counter informed me of the rewards program and signed me up. I scored some goodies and was even able to receive double points... yahoo! It was a happy Saturday afternoon. Looking forward to future visits.

I found a journal for $4 at another location and was looking for the same one but a different color for my friend. They did have it for $10 and the same one I got for $5. I thought I would ask if the $10 was supposed to be the same price as the $5 one because they were the same exact item just a different color and I was told no, the price is what it is - understandable. I decided not to get it and to adventure back to the first location I seen it for $4. They have a lot of cool stuff but I find that a lot of it is a bit pricer unless you are a member and get the discount. The store was fairly quiet & chill. They are a great selection of books, novelties, toys & etc.

After contacting Customer service MULTIPLE times including spending over an hour on the phone after work one night, I got absolutely nowhere. Found out they never even charged the creditcard at time of purchase to load the gift cards. So instead of $200 being charged and loaded onto gift cards the clerk charged the giver $5.44 and loaded $0.00 onto the gift cards. But of course it's been crickets from Barnes And Noble since I notified them of this. They don't actually care to rectify the issue.

Worth checking out if in the area!
