“Wild Rumpus is a charming book store specializing in children's literature. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, and the kids will enjoy the live animals and fun decorative surprises (check out the ceiling) in addition to a vast selection of books. There is also a small adult section filled with some great reads.”
“Such a cute hidden gem I'm glad I stumbled upon on Instagram. They have a wide variety, chairs to sit on and read a little. Shirts for sale & great local made gifts. Don't forget to say hi to the kitties!”
“Dream Haven Books & Comics is a treasure trove. The place is packed floor to ceiling shelves upon shelves of mainstream comics and books to super niche out of print books and comics. The place is filled with unusual decor and fun memorabilia. You will walk in and immediately find 1-2 things you are looking for and 3-10 things you never even knew existed. A great place for pulp novels, art books, comic omnibuses, obscure paperbacks. The horror and sci Fi sections are especially lush. The staff are friendly and every time I go in there I hear a wild story from the 1990s or 1970s.
it is difficult to traverse the store in a wheelchair or mobility scooter but I have seen it done. it's an old building with manual doors packed with inventory. it is what it is, but the disabled shoppers make do.
I can easily spend a few hours in here. Art students and people interested in comics history will especially enjoy this store.”

“This place is incredible. A dream, really. If you love a used bookstore (they also carry new books) and hunting through stacks and tightly packed shelves, you won’t find one better than this. Thank you, Don.”
“Not only is this a cute bookshop, but the STAFF!! They are so knowledgeable and willing to help. Their book recommendations always hit the spot I was looking for. Everyone here loves to read and it makes me so happy!”

“I visited this store today and was instantly in awe! Jess was amazing and was super knowledgeable. I couldn’t believe the selection! I will definitely be back!”

My recent visit I got a detox and a energy tea, hoping both of these will get my body right🤭”

“Cozy and wonderful store with an interesting selection. Meeting Nat and Zoro (bunny) was an added bonus. We will return on future trips to Minneapolis; in the meantime, we'll use the online store.”

“Books? YES! Multiple different genres? YES! Coffee and pastries? YES! Fun and cute local art in the form of stickers, mugs, candles, and vending machine? YES YES AND YES! Need a date night book gift? They have it!
Super cute and quiet bookstore! Will definitely recommend!
Added a few photos of different books that caught my interest along with the fun vending machine and candle.”
“Appreciate the staff here, the game selection and the atmosphere. Definitely recommend stopping buy if your looking for books, games or a cool gift for a loved one! There weren’t any DVDs but lots of everything else though!”
“Where do I start? There are so many things I go to Moon Palace for - calendars, cute gift things and cards, new releases, books for kids, special even events on occasion. It's great. I usually remember to bring my own mask but they have them by the front door, too.”
“Came in from out of town, put this on my list of things to do. I'd highly reccomend this place for many reasons. Vibes are immaculate, chatted with some older comrades while browsing for books. Awesome selection of leftist books spanning the broad spectrum of the left from Anarchist theorists like Kropotkin and Bookchin to the collective works of Stalin and Ho Chi Minh. Amazing selection of Palestine and Cuba literature as well as great speculative fiction. Plenty of books on trans liberation. Cash only but the 15% discount on everything is well worth it. Absolutely would reccomend anyone to go and get smart.”
“Tons to look at. Boneshakers is a neighborhood staple. A must visit. I attended a National Collage Day event and made some button pins, under the guidance of Twin Cities Collage Collective. Tons of artwork from local artists. An excellent selection of books. Very comfortable atmosphere.”
“Great store with an always interesting collection of poetry, fiction and more. There is a cafe in the same space and a center for book arts that has art prints for sale.”
“Great store
It's clean, customer service is a focus, clothing and accessories are well thought out.
The website is easy to navigate, and they now have a pick-up in store option.
Now open summer hours from 10am to 3pm.”

“We are really fortunate to have a bookstore of this caliber. They have everything that our classes require. They are also very willing to special order materials that might not be in stock so don't hesitate to ask Matt if he can make a special order for you. Outside of everyday small things, The apple store within the book store has great deals on macbooks, ipads and a great selection of various windows based laptops. All top of the line and most are able to be purchased with your ucard/student account. Which is a really great option if you intend to include your laptop in your cost of attendance. They have a huge selection of official gopher apparel. they also have an in house print shop that can handle professional grade printing on a huge assortment of top quality papers. it's a must see for anyone visiting or touring the university!”
“Huge selection of high quality items—books, of course, but also music (in various formats) and art prints. It would take hours and hours to peruse it all.”
“Pastor Randy is truly Anointed, he has been since he was 19 years old. Pastors now adays don't take this serious. Pastor Randy has always taking his walk with our Lord seriously.”
“We loved our first visit to Birchbark Books! It's obvious that there is a lot of care put into this store. I love the staff recommendations and highlighting indigenous authors! Staff were very welcoming!”
