“I had a WONDERFUL experience at NM designs! I showed up to the shop, panicked, 4 hours before I was flying out to go to an Indian wedding because the saree I ordered online did not fit properly. I was immediately at ease. She worked within my budget and took the time to find me a beautiful set that I felt good in. I loved the set she put together for me. She then altered the top and skirt on the spot to get me a perfect fit!!! She was kind and made the whole process fun. I wish I would have started at this shop from the beginning. I would highly recommend going here. She has beautiful pieces and a good variety of options!”
“We’ve been with Stimulus for 8 years. Geison and his crew do a great job delivering top level uniforms in a timely way.
We had a player play his 100th match for our club, and of course I requested a custom #100 jersey with a completely unreasonablely fast turn around time. Stimulus went above and beyond and got it done and in the mail in time for the player’s evening of recognition. It’s things like this that show you’re not just another number with them. They genuinely care.”
“Rachel was so helpful and gave us the confidence to get out of our comfort zone!!! There were so many options for lingerie, shoes, fishnets, tights, pasties, and costumes (including plus size!)! Would definitely recommend. Hope to see some rave attire coming in the future.”
“b. is the best. Their inventory changes regularly and they announce big deals via their Instagram when their racks get full, for example they just had a big dress sale. I can always find something here and my style and body has changed a lot in the almost 15 years I've been shopping here. They really support their community in numerous ways and are very transparent about their processes and practices. If you're looking for a super sugary customer service experience that's curated to make you feel good (ie super fake), this probably isn't your place.”
“My mom brought me to this boutique because she is a huge fan of Stacey Johnson Jewelry and I wanted some of her earrings. We loved all of the fun and unique items the store has.
I bought some earrings and had a small issue with them when I got home. The boutique worked with Stacey to repair the earrings and then makes them to my home out of state.
The customer service was above and beyond to say the least from our time in the store to out of it. I highly recommend this store and will be making a stop here in my MN trips from now on!”
“Ragstock always has great and fun items for every day or occasions. Christmas sweaters there are terrific. And lots of jeans to choose from too. it’s the best.”
“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!”
“Friendly and welcoming staff, and everything on sale is plant based and made with love. They sell delicious chocolates and wonderful little knick knacks of every sort from clothing and stuffed animals to cruelty free hygiene products and purses and wallets. This store is one of my favorite places to visit downtown! Updated from previous review on 2026-06-20”
“This was a find! Funky fun boutique shopping with brands like Baci, Rundholtz , vogues chocolates and I was only in the store for 5 min but found a dress I have been combing the internet to find. They close at 6pm and I recommend getting there with more than 5 min to browse. Super helpful staff.”
“Okay I think this may be my new favorite spot in Minneapolis. Super unique pieces at very good prices! Staff are super friendly too!
I will definitely be going back.”
“Oh good lord, this store is so fun! My first time here. Jewelry of all colors and styles, purses, clothes, etc. Just be careful you don't spend your entire paycheck (the prices are very reasonable, but you might accidentally buy everything because this is such a fun store and I wanted it all)! The lady who was working last week when I was in was super helpful and found so many options for complementary jewelery for my new years eve look. I will be back here numerous times in the future, I'm sure.”
“Awesome shop with a really unique vibe. Erick has built something that feels thoughtful, welcoming, and different from the usual retail experience. Great products, great atmosphere, and you can tell a lot of care went into every detail. Definitely worth checking out.”
“The absolute best screen-printing shop in the Twin Cities with competitive pricing and a high quality end-product. Flavor World is a multi-media collective that works together to uplift and empower creativity in their community. They are friendly, fun, dedicated to their craft, and incredibly easy to work with. Will definitely be attending their monthly free events from here on out!”
“I popped into the North Loop Madewell on a mission to find jeans that actually fit me, a task I usually dread because finding the right pair has always been a struggle. I can’t remember the gentleman’s name who helped me, but he was absolutely amazing! He took the time to walk me through every style Madewell offers, set me up in a dressing room, and gave me the kind of support you usually only get from a best friend.
Shopping alone can be tough, especially when you need that second opinion, but he hyped me up, made me feel confident, and helped me find jeans that I love. Yes, they’re a bit pricey, but the quality and the level of care from employees who truly go above and beyond make them worth every penny. Honestly, the shopping experience alone made this a five-star visit!”
“What do you want. Luxury? Quality? Extravagance? Its there at combine. All for *less* than you thought!Mike is that guy. He knows his stuff. Are you going to let someone who doesn't know their stuff dress you? Seriously, one of the few places beating life pulse into minnesota ...Big upAnd who didn't give 5 stars...Some dumb lady that can't wait for boutique salespeople to answer the door.”

“I have very recently reverted to Islam and I am in dire need of modest clothing. I went to a nearby mall, but I was extremely overwhelmed by everything. I checked online and discovered this boutique up the street. It’s a lovely boutique; clean, organized, and well stocked. I had zero pressure and the employees made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. The owner went out of her way to make me feel welcomed, offering advice and even showing me beautiful ways to wrap my hijabs. I had a Lou of questions and I felt like I took a few hours to shop and decide. Not once did I ever feel rushed, and never did the owner get annoyed. She was extremely patient and kind.
The boutique has everything from abayas, under caps and hijabs, to flowy pants, pant suits, everyday dresses/skirts, and blouses. So there’s something for all women, not just Muslim women. She also has jewelry and a nice selection of perfumes.
The merchandise is great quality and the prices are fair. I left with a great starter wardrobe for my new journey. I plan to return to get a few more dresses before I leave MN, however, she also ships nationwide.”
“OBSESSED with this store. Obsessed!!! Some of the most unique clothing and accessories I’ve seen in a vintage shop, and at extremely reasonable prices. There’s truly something for everyone, so many different vibes. The different vendor sections are beautifully set up and easy to navigate. I was especially excited about the jewelry and accessories here, because I find those things harder to find secondhand in styles that I like, and they’re often very expensive. I had to really hold myself back here! A must for any vintage lover in the Twin Cities.”
“Awesome and eclectic selection of pretty much anything you can think of. Was on the hunt for a very specific item, and while I didnt find it here the lovely person behind the till gave me a list of other local places to check out!”
“Stopped in looking for some niche fragrances and unfortunately was unable to find them. That being said, the experience we had while in was fantastic. I’m unsure of her name, but the blonde gal that works there is absolutely incredible. She worked with myself and my wife trying to help locate potential options to replace what we were looking for. Great conversation the whole time and very informative, she went well above and beyond. Wonderful little store!”
“Wonderful selection, quality items, and the salesmen were helpful. I'll surely be back to check on new inventory. ? worth it if you're looking for some slick styles in the middle of the Midwest ?”
“I stopped into this gift shop randomly on my way to the coffee shop next door and had an amazing experience. The lady who helped me I believe said her daughter in law owns the shop. She was incredibly kind and went far beyond her duties as a cashier on a day I really needed the kindness. Will 1000% be back just because of how wonderful she was, in addition to the fact that they have such a wide selection of gifts, cards, jewelry and other trinkets! Definitely stop in!”

“My daughter really wanted to try a quinceñera dress for prom. Even though this really isnt normal, the owner was so kind helping us with a few options that made my daughter look and feel like a princess, he was also a lot of fun to talk to and we learned a lot about the tradition of quinceñeras! No pressure, tons of patience and sp many options!! I definitely recommend stopping here if you need something special!”
“Walked in and was welcomed immediately. New tech screen showing you inventory. Not a crazy selection but Bill is a solid guy. Gave me a fair cash offer for a pair of kicks. Bill was very personable. It was appreciated. 5 stars”
“It’s a joy to shop at Queen Anna! Nicole has a well curated collection of styles for all occasions and body types and goes out of her way to help her clients find their perfect pieces!”
“Shopping here was such a good experience! The employees were all very kind and went out of their way to be helpful! We were so thankful with how they assisted us.”
“Great experience shopping here. Big selection, staff very knowledgeable about stock. The gal helping me, Lily, picked up on my taste, made some fantastic suggestions, and respected my budget. Felt like a princess!”
“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.”
