Sweet Reads has a wonderful blend of new and used books and art, including featured works by Minnesota authors and artists. They also have an assortment of novelty candies and ice creams. The two most wonderful features of this book store is the Berenstain Bears Museum, which was gifted by a local collector and certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest in the world, and the wonderful staff here.

My two year old Red Wing boots were wearing down to the point of going through the outer sole…read more Since they're finally getting broken in I decided to have the boots resoled. Checking around there are not many places that do this kind of work anymore. Decided to go to Hasting Shoe Service since they are only 20 minutes away. Up front they provided an estimate for cost and time that was right on the money. They not only did an excellent job of applying the new soles but took the time to completely recondition the leather (using Neatsfoot oil I think) so that my boots look nearly new. I can't say enough good things about this place. Their work is top notch.

If you need to repair shoes or any kind of leather avoid this place. I brought in a piece of…read moreluggage with a small tear in the leather that I needed fixed. When I picked it up, it looked even worse. When I requested my money back, I was refused. I was unhappy with the work and the rude and unprofessional service I received. I wouldn't give this place even one star.

Smaller hobby shop with some good stuff to be had from time to time. If you're into painting…read morefigures, they have liquid green stuff and what appears to be the complete set of paints from that line, so if you know what liquid green stuff is, this is a place to get those supplies. There's train stuff for HO, N and O gauge. Mostly the bare essentials. There's quite a bit of RC stuff and the guy seems pretty knowledgeable about RC and drones. There are some essential tools for most hobbies. It's not a huge place, but is a place where you would want to stop in on regular basis to see what's new.

Staff helped me identify the parts I needed and made excellent recommendations on possible upgrades.read more

Coffee was good (though could have been hotter) - the to go cup was unique. Compostable with this interesting lid situation I have not previously encountered. I think I liked it, though I also felt like I was using a sippy cup. I'm undecided on the lid. The staff were very friendly, and the price was reasonable. Overall great experience, and would happily stop here again if I was in Austin.

The building and the parking lot look to be in good shape. There is lighting in the parking lot. [Review 17165 overall - 80 in Minnesota - 682 of 2022.]
