Great selection of high quality toys for a variety of ages. We were buying a gift for a one year old's birthday party, and we asked for a recommendation. One of the toys she recommended ended up being the toy the birthday played with the most at his party! Don't hesitate to ask the staff for help. They are very knowledgeable and want to sell you toys kids will use for a long time! They also wrapped it for us as well!

Adorable shop with thoughtful inventory and the owner helped me make my selections and suggested to get the older child a gift when buying for the new baby. So thoughtful!!!! ?

Boutique that sells current and vintage toys for kids. Their service was excellent and they even wrapped up the purchases complimentary! Great selections for kids who you'd rather give less screen time.

Wonderful little shop for kids and adults alike. They carry tons of toys, but also collectibles and stationary too! Many of the items can be hard to find in the US, so it was great to shop in person. They also carry some cool vintage toys/clothing. The packaging is also super cute, and makes the perfect gift. Highly recommend!

Colorful, educational, and thoughtfully creative—this is one of the best spots in the city for finding unique and one-of-a-kind gifts for the littles in your life. From candy to games to dolls (in every shade of skin) to stuffed animals and stickers and vintage kids clothes, you will NOT leave empty handed. The shop is women owned and such a wonderful addition to the Kingfield neighborhood. Perfect stop for a birthday gift or special treat. The kid in you may just find something too! Can’t recommend more highly. ❤️

My son brought me here on my birthday as a surprise. This store is just delightful! It is just magical when you walk in! Everything is neat and tidy but you still feel comfortable shopping. The owner was working and she was just so helpful and sweet. They have a beautiful selection of Maileg, Paola Reina, Waldorf toys, and other tiny treasures. I will absolutely drive over to south Minneapolis to shop again. I live supporting neighborhood stores and this was just such a lovely place with beautiful fun toys! Highly recommend!

This place is so cute! It’s located next to a few different restaurants and is so tiny that if you aren’t looking carefully, you just might miss it.The store itself seems to specialize in open-ended play toys as well as wooden toys and vintage clothing. I absolutely love it! Prices are on the high end but reflect the quality of the items.I have to use all my self-control not to stop every time I pass the store.

Love this store! Every piece they have is curated and high quality so no matter what you end up with, you know it will be great. I added stuff from here to my online baby registry and the shop owner was on top of it she was even able to advise one of my relatives of books that had been purchased that hasn’t been marked so that I didn’t end up with duplicates! Now that’s beyond impressive if you ask me. I have gotten gifts for people from here in the past and once my baby is born I know this will be a go to shop for us.

Best toy store in the Twin Cities. Even in my thirties I ask for presents from this shop. Such a good plush animal collection and the only place I’ve seen such cool vintage baby/toddler clothing.

Kinoko Kids is my go to toy store when shopping for my sophisticated nieces and nephews, when they visit Minneapolis. Even kids from the west coast and from overseas are surprised and delighted when they receive a gift from this shop, as the toys are so delightful and unique. This has been a place that brings joy to my young relatives and has rescued me during holidays and birthdays. The advice is awesome when you need help to find the perfect toy or gift for young ones.
