“The cutest shop with an excellent selection of NA drinks, + TCH drinks and gifts. This is somewhere I love to take friends and family when they visit from out of town. The small staff is really friendly & personable. Love supporting this small neighborhood business.”
“One of the best crystal shops I've EVER been to and I've been to A LOT of shops! The staff are super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Don't miss the chance to support this amazing business.”
“Such a fun stop! They have a great selection of things you wouldn't find in your typical shop. It's a good place to shop for gifts. Prices are a little high. The food in the deli is good too.”
“The best corporate gifts and client experience you can give to your clients. I've purchased 3 rounds of gifts so far and every time the client has asked about where on earth the olive oil came from because it is so much better than anything they've tried before.
Do not hesitate- the price is worth it.”
“Bill delivers truly world-class communication. The process does take some time, but it’s absolutely worth it. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and shipping was incredibly fast.
If you’re looking for this level of service and quality, Bill and The Dream Shop are the place to go.”
“I found this place on Instagram and had been dying to go. Overall, a standard adult store with an okay selection. The cashier didn't greet us when we entered, and didnt seem to want to be there, it happens, not the end of the world.
Im mostly astonished at the amount of social justice work they do, its honestly fantastic to see.”
“Celebrated my 10 y.o.'s birthday here. There was a huge selection of things to paint and they had a great time picking colors and painting on the underglaze. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. I can't wait to see how our items turn out!”
“Update: I had bought a $10 lefse stick in the past year and was bummed when it splintered. I was very happy when they replaced the stick. Ended up spending an extra $60+ at the deli and craft stores on that same trip. Am excited to try the embroidery kit.
Fun selection of Scandinavian knickknacks. They also sell tools for making lefse and krumkake. I went there recently in search of double salted licorice but they did not have it.
If you go to the deli, try the lutefisk. And if you're too chicken, the smoked salmon is great. Make sure you bring cash for the deli.”
“Best gift shop in the twin cities! Great variety of locally made products for yourself or gift giving. Julie, the owner is incredibly kind and runs an amazing shop.”
“I love a store with unique offerings and Patina really does have something for everyone. From cute kitchen goods to craft items to plushies, if you're looking for a gift this is a great place to shop.
They sell quality goods so I wouldn't call this place inexpensive, but not everything is expensive either.
I always find something unique, especially around the holidays.”
“What an outstanding location! The service was quick and efficient as well as an extremely cleanly and welcoming. That cute employee, Maryam, was able to help me pick out the perfect selection for my mothers wedding. I highly reccommend 10/10”
“The products here are for a great time to have in the Adult bedroom (no children allowed) your sure to find a new kink or fetish when you come to this fine store very near and friendly staff!”
“It's a beautiful space with amazing art from a diverse spectrum of artist and artistry. You WILL find something you love. The only problem? Sticking to your budget! You'll want everything! ?”
“I have been ordering all of my pysanky supplies from these lovely folks for 20+ years and have never had a single issue. The products are quality, and the customer service has been just phenomenal. My friends who also decorate eggs say the same thing! Thank you, Ukrainian Gift Shop!”
“I was a Canadian searching for Jellycats, and Patina was perfect.
I was stunned by the stock of the entire store & the friendly staff. When I was unable to find a specific product, the very kind Elise helped me source it at another nearby Patina location. Elise went above & beyond and instantly made Patina a positive association from a Canadian visitor!”
“Owner was friendly. The store was full of amazing items from beautiful jewelry and clothing to unique books. Loved the atmosphere and the art pieces on display will definitely come back to buy more some time.”

“Came across this place on accident and glad I did! This shop is full of amazing local goods, odds and ends. It reminds me of patina with a more local and curated feel. Definitely check it out for yourself and for your gift buying.”
“I was looking for souvenirs that were made in Minnesota and this shop had a variety. It's a small space, so take a minute to look at things from different angles. I found a lot of great stuff that I missed on the first pass.”
“Such a gem of a store. It's all hand made items by local artisans. Prices are great and the items are unique, so if you're searching for a hard to shop person, stop in.They do take credit cards now!! Hours and days are limited. Also, note it's tucked back a little so park near BLVD and walk over, you won't necessarily see an obvious sign from the street like a regular storefront.”
“I've been going to this store for twenty years now since I was 18, and every experience has been a good one. The prices are great, and the staff is helpful and informed.”
“I’m really enjoying the Matchstick Incense that you helped my partner pick out for me. Perfect scent. This review is from both of us! Thanks for having great wares.”
“I bought a Daytons sweatshirt at the Daytons Marketplace before Christmas and was told if need be I could return it to Shop in the City. I stupidly tried it on after I put on my makeup and it didn’t fit but I had stained it. I worked to remove stains which only helped a little. Went to Shop in the City to exchange it and plead my case. I offered to either pay for the damage or just return it for 1/2 of what it was worth. The very sweet clerks (sisters) called their manager who told them to replace it at full value. Very great customer service and I appreciate it a ton. Thanks so much.”
“The store associate was very helpful! They had an okay selection. I wish there was more available. I also feel it was more expensive in person instead of ordering. Make sure you park in the back of the building not on fhe side lot”
“Had a proposal planned for out front of US Bank Stadium but the weather had other plans. Bobby and Wendy were glad to help us adjust and find a cool spot inside to still make it happen. They were super willing to help and were extremely glad to be apart of the day. Thanks again to Wendy and Bobby. Wendy even had flowers on hand from the farmers market that she gave to us.”
“Jessie and the other coworker in the store (didn’t catch their name) were AMAZING!! They have pin trading there and they authenticate each one! I was so excited when I found that out, as being far away from disney and pin trading gets me sad at times. I will 100% be back! Jessie was so excited with me when I pulled a Cinderella pin and it was great to share the experience with a fellow pin trader. Thank you again both of you for making a tough day brighter ❤”
“This store is GREAT! Has so many options both male and female. And CECE??!! She’s amazing! You can ask her questions and she will genuinely give you great answers! Even on natural items that they have in store!”
