βGreat food vedon selection. Given ICE in the area many shops aren't running for fear of racial profiling. Support your local vendors during this time please!β
βIβm giving 5 stars to support immigrant business but our experience was much less than that. We went at 5pm on a Monday looking for dinner, it was quite empty with a few families around eating yet still two different stands told us they were not taking orders anymore? Again this was 5pm on a Monday when the market is allegedly open until 8. It was a weird experience, the place is overall underwhelming, I felt unwelcome by the security who had to buzz us in. Maybe we need to try again on a weekendβ
βNice mall overall with a nice variety of stores and restaurants. JCP and Macy's should clean up their act and get organized. Macy's is improving but JCP is on the dumpy side. Also, SeaQuest is leaving, so maybe that space can attract another nice restaurant.β

βGood little shopping center. Could use a bit more variety regarding the types of shops, but has decent options for food and some basic shopping. Nice area to walk around.β
βHas most the basic stores you would need to go to all in one place like any little strip mall. I was there for three stores harbor freight visionworks and the Dollar tree and then I went to the restaurant Tokyo Buffettβ
βIts kinda cute. It sticks out a bit as the rest of the NE Minneapolis/St. Anthony area has a beautiful tree canopy and it's a large, bare parking lot but it has a few cool places to go including library, liquor store, and broadway pizza. There's a plant center in the summer (however it doesn't seem to sell anything native so I did not buy anything) and a DQ.β
βThere are a variety of great businesses to visit. I've been to Dollar Tree, Great Clips, Cub Foods, and Five Below. All of them were clean, had easy parking, and friendly staff.β
βThe mall has really built up since I was last there. There aren't as many empty shops which is nice to see. I also had to visit the restroom and I'm happy to say that it was one of the nicest restrooms I've been in being clean, accessible, and it's fully stocked in all the things you would want in the bathroom.β

βOne of the finer commons of all commons. They've got yoga, pet food, an internet store, wings, beer, pizza, diamonds! So much more, but jeez, you need something? Go here!β
βThere are so many fun things to do here. You could spend all day and a lot of money here. There is something for everyone. They have pickleball, arcade, target practice, RC cars, slime making, handmade crafts, art projects and more. There's a carousel, electric ride on cars, a train, and bouncers. Sustainable Safari has unique animals (get a Groupon). Also, some free play areas for kids. Loads of multi cultural shops and little vendors. Delicious multicultural food in the food court. Sundays 10-11 you can walk your dog around.β
βThe YMCA is perfect for swimming or the sauna even the gym is cool. Security inside the building keeps the place safe for families. Some good food spots there. And once you walk around to the other stores you'll love the inside mall!!β
βI love going here, there are many stores to choose from. This is a very busy place. There is a lot of parking which I love, whether you find a space close to the store or far away. I'm okay with itβ
βA small and hidden mall with a few stores. Outside itβs the old brick building. Inside itβs all modernized. On one side there is Bread and Butter, Chipotle, yoga studio and a handful of stores.β
βI could spend a day here looking at model cars, ships, and airplanes, radio controlled cars, planes and boats, games,model making tools and supplies, toys, Legos, and hobby stuff that I hadn't known existed. Good prices and friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff .β

βIt is a must visit if you are in Minneapolis! It literally feels like you are in a different world when you are in the mall. Mall is run mostly by folks with Somali heritage. You can divide stores in three categories: clothing items (men and women), restaurants/snack shops, and barber shops.
We bought a few clothing items. Also, we tried multiple food items: two sweet doughnuts type item, one bhujiya, two samosas, and one sweet bread (kind of malpua in Indian). It costed us $6 in total!! It was so cheap, kinda hard to believe. Compare that to one pretzel at Auntie Anne with two sauces for $12.50 at Mall of America. And Somali food tasted amazing.
Parking was $2 for two hours or so. It was hard to find the entrance. You have to go around on the residential side of the street to find the parking entrance. Multiple story parking lot with plenty of parking.
Stairs are a bit dirty, very typical to a third world mall type. Use bathrooms before or after visiting this mall.β
βThese guys have a sense of humour and have good products! I love coming here cuz they have a lot of things for alternative medicine, such as tools, ointments and ingestive things. Teas, incense, safe soaps, oils. Worth the visit if you want some stuff for spiritual practice or health!β
βStaff is super helpful and prices aren't bad. If you know what you want it's easy to find, and if you do not know what you are looking for, someone is there to help show you!!β
βI try and get all my gas here They have a bakery section, newspapers and a tiny coffee shop. There are propane cylinders and you can find milk and pizza. Often there is air for tires.β
βThis mall is very low key.The atmosphere is very quiet there are less crowds of people.There are More collections of items in the stores which really matters.The staff is very helpful.β
βI like the way the Ids court is so modernise and airy with a tint of playfulness in the structural frame and view of the interior within the boxes of skylight. The linkway to different buildings are thoughtful to cater in time of winter. It will be great if there is public restroom connected nearby which is only accessible by cars.β
βGreatest Experience in Minnesota. What a lovely City. Took a walk and saw great sights, and sounds. Lovely people, and kind too. I should relocate to Minneapolis.β
βCheapest ticket to Somalia! When I first went to the mall I was concerned that I would feel unwelcome but I could not have been more wrong. If you have light colored skin you will stand out but the mostly Somali sellers, shoppers and visitors are gracious. It is something about...by being there you demonstrate an interest in their American subculture. It couldnβt be a more pleasant place to visit.Great clothes, amazing food! Friendly people! I used to return only for gifts. Now I go whenever I can justify it?. A great place to learn a few Somali words.?.β

βTop quality serums, at a price my wallet approves! I'm 87% sure there isn't a fountain of youth, and yet, after trying the serums, I could be convinced that moko organics has found it and has bottled it. My fine lines, and sunken eyes (THENK you sweet toddler) have been reversed. And for $10?! TAKE MY MONEY, JUST KEEP ME YOUNG(er) than I feel. And when I feel generous, and don't want to keep the secret to myself, there are a ton of other cool and eclectic products that are sure to please everyone from dads to teens.β
