“I brought in a jacket with the sleeve half ripped off and they were able to fix it in 5 minutes. It’s like it never happened the repair looks so good. They also have second hand items for sale for reasonable prices. Everyone who works here has been friendly and knowledgeable I can’t recommend this place enough if you’re looking to take care of the gear you currently own or balling on a budget needing some new to you items.”
“Beautiful selection! I always look for places for bones and bug-related taxidermy, and they had plenty of it plus other very neat “trinkets” (and much more. I’m really down-selling it saying that, tbh). I was also surprised that the pricing was not as bad as I thought it was going to be (sorry, Mpls. I do expect unnecessarily overpriced things there), and my kids and I ended up getting a few things. Also, and very important anywhere you go, the staff there was so kind and helpful! We will definitely be going back — a lot. It was amazing!”
“Love coming to shop for the perfect look for a special occasion. The prices are very fair, in my experience shopping vintage in Minneapolis. Even still, I am willing to pay more than I would at a thrift store, because the curation is lovely, and Amanda will clean, mend, and press/steam garments, so I know I can wear it the same day I purchased it. And I have!”
“I have purchased a number of things from this store and have always been completely satisfied. Recently, I had been looking for a vintage dining room table that would be large enough to fit a large number of people. I found a table at MAD that was PERFECT. The owner arranged a time for me to meet with him to look at the table and also arranged for another time for me to pick it up. He was outstanding and very flexible with me given this crazy time of the year. Very grateful for all of it.”
“Great vintage store. I go for their vintage toys, but they have clothes, records, books, and lots more. I always find something to take home with me. The owners are welcoming and nice.”
“An absolute GEM of a store. Every inch is loaded with vintage treasures! If you're shopping for a unique gift for a cool cat in your life, you'll find something here (and walk out with a few things for yourself too) A true mom and pop store, and a staple for thrift lovers in South Minneapolis.”
“Most professional and reliable tailoring in Minneapolis. I've been using sewbiz for a decade and have always received the best tailoring for suits and casual clothing.”
“Absolutely a must-stop for a shopping spree when your child outgrows their clothing size. This store is managed so well; color-coded, generously stocked, affordably priced, friendly staff, that I do make it a priority to stop here while in the area. Speaking as someone who lives on the east side of the cities with the Woodbury/Maplewood stores, the Eden Prairie location offers a very different and superior shopping experience you will be delighted about.”
“I've been shopping at the store for a few years but recently did some MAJOR downsizing and consigned many many things over the last few months. always an excellent experience, very clear policy, Cash or Store credit. Can always find something while I'm there! staff is kind, courteous and helpful.”
“Out of all the antique stores in Hopkins, this is my favourite. The shop is filled with cool looking things and a solid vinyl selection. The prices seem really reasonable too. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. The woman who helped me today was able to find exactly what I was looking for and had such a nice nature. If ever I'm in Hopkins, this place is always a must.”
“Very nice antique store. I stopped by during a festival and I was pleasantly surprised by the collection they have and the size of the store. I will be back for sure.”
“Well organized and clean store. It is well stocked. The quality and volume of products is better than any other Once Upon a Child I've visited in the metro area. Because they're so well stocked and have high expectations for quality, it can be harder to sell. Great place to sell seasonal outdoor items like boots, shoes, snow gear.”
“Front of the store has some really great artwork, furniture, and lighting. Pricing system has regular markdowns so with a little patience and luck you could get a great deal.”
“I really wanted to like it more, but the lack of sorting by size is ridiculous. I'm an XL and very few of their items fit and it's too much work finding anything.”
“There are too many fantastic items in the jewelry case. It's a great place for unique gifts and the closest thing to shopping from a Time Machine that I've found. The owner was very patient with me and showed me every sparkly thing that caught my eye.
She mentioned that she is searching for an awning out front... she was nice... so if anybody has a spare rounded white business awning that resembles a clam... let her know.”
“Cool selection of items, I like to get jewelry and jackets here usually or just wander around and look at stuff. Usually a bit out of my price range when it comes to clothes. A lot of non-vintage items (especially accessories) but not a big turn off for me.”
“Always caring staff, the Church staff from St.Olaf downtown and the Badilica of St.Mary also downtown inform about their services too, besides these churches own community outreach.”
“Love this spot! I usually purchase things off of their Instagram for pick up. The staff are so kind and are always cheerful when I stop in. The selection is definitely well thought-out and well-priced. You're able to get great clothes at fabulous prices.”
“H & B is a nice curated collection of antiques. The items are well priced and range from couple of dollars to thousands. It is one of the best resale shops in the Twin Cities.”
“New and gently used at garge sale prices Arc's Value Village Thirft store has something for everyone and for all occasions. A fun shopping experience and knowing every purchase benefits the community.”
“Talk about a hole in the wall, a hidden gem, or a diamond in the rough! I love thrifting and checking out all the places to do so when visiting a new town. If I were to come back to the twin cities, I would be sure to stop into the Cat and the Cobra! Locating the store was a little harder than anticipated. It is in the back of the parking lot behind the locked door, but it is the first door inside the building. Not to mention the cool vibes and architecture of the building. I highly recommend walking around and checking it out. There was an amazing selection of any article of clothing you were looking for. I would say the majority of the items were typically priced. Some articles hanging were a little overpriced, but the best part was the bins in the back of the store! I found two shirts in the bins that were $5 each! It was a STEAL of a deal for vintage t-shirts in the condition they were in. I got one ESPN shirt and a Strigus 2006 shirt. Not to mention how fun it is to shift through bins to find those hidden gems of shirts. In addition to a more expensive rainforest cafe t-shirt that was hanging on the walls of shirts. Overall, the service, selection, and value of the store and its articles were top-tier for vintage thrift! I highly recommend stopping in!”
“This place had a fantastic selection of vintage clothing. The prices reflected the fact that this store was much more curated so be prepared to shell out a bit more. I got a nice University of Minnesota sweatshirt and some jeans here. Will come back next time I'm in Minneapolis”
“One of my favorite places to shop! This store is smaller than most Turn Styles but it’s less overwhelming and full of great finds. I really love the staff here too, very friendly and helpful.”
“Absolutely enamored with this place after today. I’d driven by a billion times outside of open hours, but never stopped in. I went specifically looking for a lampshade for a lamp I inherited from my grandparents old house, after my grandma recently passed away. Little did I know, the owner makes lampshades, so the whole thing felt slightly serendipitous. She had awesome suggestions, and took the time to show us around a bit. We’re so happy with the new addition to our living room.
The whole store is well curated, and an absolute treasure trove of yesteryear. I highly recommend a weekend stop-in!”
“The selection is out of this world! So much clean, like-new beautiful items. I would need at least eight hours to get through all the things I want to look at. I love dresses and found many beautiful items. I would come here instead of the mall. I enjoyed my shopping here.”
“Great selection! Some of the reviewers here clearly don’t know the effort that goes into not just being a shop, but also PRIMARILY a safe space for many women to gather. Me being a customer comes secondarily to me financially supporting this space.”
“Clothing mentor Eden Prairie is fantastic if you’re looking for designer stuff or want to sell come here these people are amazing ! Amazing staff! Thao and Millie are fantastic”
“Little hidden gem! This is everything a thriftstore should be. Great selection, great prices, great people! Only left with the bare necessities... A funnel cake maker!!”
“My wife and I have shopped at Fashion Avenue in Edina for several years. They have a great selection and the pricing is fair. it's upscale quality merchandise and the people running the place are always nice to deal with.”
