Um...WHOA?! I've…read moreheard about this store from friends before, but thought it was just a fancy menswear store. Well boy, was I wrong. I stopped in a few days before Christmas, and I actually had a few things yet I wanted to get my grandpa, so this worked out great. At the entrance - and throughout the store - I found free hot coffee, tea, refreshments, cookies, and treats. Maybe it's just a holiday thing but I loved the hospitality. The space is HUGE - so much more than clothes! I had no idea. They have: - books and coffee table books - a whole room dedicated to perfume/cologne and scents - a whole area for cocktail-related gifts - home decor, tableware, and interior decor items - kitschy smaller giftables that were organized by theme (work/office, hosting, etc.) - menswear and womenswear - jewelry - candles - and so much more! I genuinely believe you can walk in here and be sure to find something for anyone on your gifting list. The service was incredible: lots of welcomes and greetings, and staff there to help you if you need it. Oh, they even have a room you can reserve while shopping?! FANCY!

You're also provided complimentary drinks while browsing the store. If the main floor doesn't meet your needs don't fret! Just go upstairs and there's an entire room of racks of sale items to check out which include items from previous seasons. Parking is also free behind the building. A piece of information I learned is not all items in store are placed online depending on the contract they have with the brand where brands may not allow them to sell pieces online, so your best bet if you're looking for something in particular would be to pop into the store.

We did some damage for sure. This is a great spot if you are looking for jackets, sweaters, dress tops, and pants. There are multiple brands and all are amazing quality. I like that they have different price points so you can definitely find something that is in your price range somewhere. Will be back!

I'm glad to see that the number of hip-hop clothing boutiques in the Twin Cities is increasing…read more Before online shopping became popular -with websites like Digital Gravel, Karmaloop, MLTD- getting fresh hip-hop gear required "knowing" somebody. But now "Things Done Changed." (Biggie reference.) Within the last couple years, a handful of new spots have opened up in Minneapolis alone! Phenom is refreshing with its dope two room setup, wooden floors, and tees that hang from an automated and revolving rack above. (Like what drycleaners have.) They also carry a small selection of sneaker classics like Nike Air Maxes, Jordans, and New Balances (the non-Grandpa kind), some interesting caps (both snapback and fitted), and original sweatshirts I've never really seen online. I'm not really a fan of their selection, but I can see how some peeps dig it. Aside from the gear, the customer service could be better. I saw one Nike Air Max and got a staff member to get it in my size. I found that it didn't fit and tried chatting with him a bit. He seemed disinterested in trying to sell me anything and left to talk to the shorty at the front of the store. At other boutiques, the staff usually tries to hustle me. Kinda surprised. Again, I love Phenom's dope space and can appreciate their gear, but the customer service could be better.

Incredible sneaker/streetwear shop. One of the few places in the Midwest to get account such as…read moreBBC/Ice Cream, PLAY, Diamond Supply, and the list goes on. Beautiful ground up conceptual design with their Phenom cloud logo emblazoned across the racks, counters, and their own personal clothing that they manufacture in the back of the shop. So sick! Much love for this shop and always stop in to see their new gear whenever I'm in the area. Pricy for some of these products because of their brands, but it's well worth the pricepoint if you are savvy in the streetwear game and understand what you're actually looking at! o.O

I've walked by Marty Mathis' shop many times -- looks cool! Today I stopped by needing just…read moremeasurements for a wedding (tux shop is opposite part of town so I wanted to get my measurements close by instead of driving there). Now I get that he's in business selling suits and not just taking measurements so I was prepared to pay him a little cash for the trouble and I wanted to see the shop too. Unfortunately, we never got to that point. When I asked if he'd take my measurements, he looked me up and down, and then very curtly said "No" and went back to what he was doing. Sorry Marty, but you made me feel utterly worthless. Good luck with your store.

5 STARS FOR SERVICE!!! 2 stars for STINKY shoes- the wools does not let my feet breath!…read more The attention to detail at this store is amazing. All of the associates were very helpful. Unfortunately, I didn't realize until after 30 day return window that these shoes smell- BADLY. I do not have smelly feet. These are the only pair of shoes that I have ever owned that smell. I have followed the manufacturer's guidelines and washed them accordingly. NOTHING, I mean NOTHING can totally get rid of the smell. It's a shame because the shoes are very comfortable and supportive.

Ok wow, we are fortunate to have an Allbirds location in Minneapolis! This store opened in 2021,…read morein between Pacifier and D.NOLO in North Loop. I was going to Pacifier to get a gift for my son, but then I stopped into Allbirds on a curious whim, and left with a gift for myself. I honestly had never heard of Allbirds before I stumbled in here. The staff was welcoming, as I browsed their displays. I learned that they're a minimalist New Zealand company dedicated to reversing climate change with sustainable functional apparel (mostly shoes). Into it! I love how each product is marked with its carbon footprint and list of renewable materials. There are about half a dozen different shoes, and I think they were all $98 and unisex. Yes, pricey, but worth the sustainable quality (also, helps that I haven't bought new shoes in years). I tried on the Wool Loungers and was in heaven. They're easy to slip on, the soles are so comfy, and they design is minimal and clean. And they're machine-washable!! Note: This style only comes in full sizes and run small. I sized up from 7 to 8. I've only worn them a few days but so far I love them. So comfortable! Each Allbirds location has a custom shoelace, and ours is Boundary Waters Blue. You get a free pair with each purchase!

He even pointed out that I've been wearing too large of pants and that it should rest higher on my hips, so now I actually know what waist size I am I didn't even need one, but I got a dress shirts as well since you could tell the clothes were such great quality and they look incredibly sleek. It's quite pricey but you definitely get what you pay for! Would definitely go back again whenever I make it out clothes shopping again.

The apparel selection is solid, and I really like that they stay on top of new releases anytime I'm after one, they've got it. They're also great on communication; if they miss your call, they actually call back. AJ and the rest of the team are always helpful, and I'm glad I found this place. I'll definitely keep coming back for any shoes that I'm looking for.

I do want to stay, parking is street parking, so hopefully you're lucky & if not expect to walk a little.

We weren't looking for anything in particular, just passing through, but it was a blast to see what they had. Everything felt well maintained and curated, and easy to shop through without being cluttered. There is a try-on area and a three-sided mirror, with someone trying on a beret - just peak vintage shop vibes. The staff members were all dressed to the NINES - they are their own advertisements for what expertise they offer. Don't expect thrifting prices here - this is a higher end, curated vintage shop and prices reflect that. If you're a lover of all things vintage, you've gotta come check this out!

I'd just pop in to some awesome store, play dress up and then come back through my wardrobe like the Pevensie children. Anyway, Parc Boutique would definitely be one of my fashion portal stops. I follow the owner Thao on Twitter and Pinterest because she has amazing taste, so I should've known how much I'd like this store. It had been a while since my first visit to Parc (when I was young and broke), so my visit last week felt like the maiden voyage. There's a balance of affordability and higher-fashion style here, which I appreciate because that is a balance I try to find on a daily basis. There's a great selection of dresses, tops, jewelry, denim and more---all priced and curated well. The bauble table was where I had the most trouble saying goodbye. I saw the most interesting geometric pendant priced at about $75 (as usual, my eye wanders to one of the most expensive things on the table). Though I couldn't bring myself to drop the cash, I was compelled to put it on my Christmas list eight months in advance.

All of the brands they carry are women owned businesses and either local or from around the country. The staff is beyond friendly is they're always happy to help with any questions you may have. As well as clothing, they also carry the cutest natural skin care lines, especially Herbivore Botanicals. If you're in Minneapolis and have a shopping day, I highly recommend you stop in to their shop.
