If you'd enjoy colorful discussions with panhandlers just outside the front door, run don't walk to the Dinkytown Target! Don't have spare change? These gentlemen will tell you just what they think. And usually it's profane. Ask the Target security guy why they allow people to be harassed going in and out of the store? "Technically that's not our property...." Reality: I'll never spend any penny in this store.

I decided to revisit Dinkytown a few weeks ago, which is where the University of Minnesota is. I noticed this Target that I had never visited. I wanted to check it out. I parked on the street. It's paid parking. I figured out later on that Target has its own lot that's kind of hidden to me. Oh, well. I know now. Think of this Target as a subset of a typical mega Target store. It's smaller in size, but it has everything you truly need. It's geared towards students and residents in the area who can walk over to it, as opposed to a shopper in suburbia hauling way too much stuff into a minivan. There was a ton of Lego merchandise. I assume that Target has a partnership with Lego. It was cool seeing Lego reusable bags and apparel. What stood out for me was the grocery section. It was impressive. There was lots of variety. I particularly loved the selection of sugar-free items. I ended up getting some Lily's chocolates. It also has Zevia in the pop aisle. If you're into PopSockets, they are heavily reduced here. I got one with lemons and it was $3. Ridiculous! You can get apparel here, but it's limited. If you get your wardrobe from Target, you'd be better off going to a larger Target store. Staff are super friendly here. I had a woman cash out my items. There are also self-checkouts, but I like ones with people more. It's a decent store and it much needed for locals in Dinkytown. I'm so glad that I dropped by. (477)

Everything is more expensive at this location and there are aggressive panhandlers who won't take no for an answer. Staff is either willfully ignorant or refuses to take action against these aggressive folks who guard their doors the way a troll guards a bridge. As if they're owed for your passage, also they say racist things and then oftentimes will act like you said something bad when you take offense, so stay far away!

Although this branch has a smaller selection compared to super targets, we would come back & recommend it to others. The dark haired clerk at the register the other day was really polite helpful & cared that we could find what we were looking for. He had a genuine smile on his face & took time out to make our shopping experience easier. Great customer service is something we appreciate & this branch has done a great job so far.

Smartest target idea have small shop close to the university and the dorms. They have everything here but at a smaller scale. They even have a pharmacy. The place is very clean and today I noticed they have double sided self check out. And I noticed there was young lady cleaning after every customer at the self check out. Mostly students come here. They have eggs vegetables everything you need to cook and eat. If you have a target application you can save on many items.

This review is primarily for the pharmacy staff. The actual store is a smaller Target that carries a more limited selection of items. However, of the items it does carry, they are always well stocked. This was my go-to Target during the peak of quarantine when other stores had empty shelves. Now onto the pharmacy. I am super queazy when it comes to needles, but I have come here for two flu shots and my TDAP vaccine. Each time I have come in, the process has been completely painless and easy, for someone who hates getting pricked. The past two times, I didn't even notice when the needle went in! The pharmacy staff has always been super helpful, and chill about letting my partner hold my hand. On top of that, they are super clear with insurance/payment info. When I needed my TDAP, I called in advance and they ran my insurance and gave me a clear, honest answer about they payment in under 5 minutes. I have never even had this efficient/smooth of an experience at a Dr. office...it's usually a runaround between calling the doctor's office and the insurance company. And by the way! You get a $5 gift card when you get your flu shot here!

I usually come to this target probably three times a week. Most of the time I'm there I'm racially profiled. I wear a backpack because I'm a student I'm too broke to own a damn car. So I just shop like a normal human being, but alas, I'm black so I'm stealing right? This target needs to be gutted from the inside out with new management and stop profiling African Americans and focus on some real thrives. Stop following me around the store!

It's nice to have places near campus to pick up essentials when needed. I was curious to see what the small concept Target was like. It was larger than I expected with more variety in items too. I believe you can also order items online to pick up at this location. What a great deal for a college student in the area.

We came here a couple of times when I was on vacation in Minneapolis. The store is really cheap in my opinion. Connected by "the skyway" on the second floor. Tons of great stuff like any other Target. Store was really clean as well. Employees were friendly too.

This is a convenient location. Just beware that prices are higher here compared to larger Target locations and the website. I've only shopped here for health items and prices are often between 15-20% higher. They do price match their website, however, but you have to specifically request that.

They're making a movie actually about how non-white employees here are controlled by white employees and their personalities sent to the "sunken place". Especially in locations in Georgia. It's called "Tar-Get Out." Tiny little neighbourhood Target that is more like a convenience store and is priced accordingly. It's a great little stop for all of the Minnesota students but I don't like the imposing security guard on the door, who stared at everyone suspiciously, including himself honestly (long story), and of course it would be nice if there was a little local convenience store here instead of a Target convenience store, especially considering that they're charging actual convenience store prices rather than Target prices which are not particularly cheap anyway. Must everything be replaced by a big box chain?

This Target was their test of an urban footprint store especially near a campus. There is a decent selection of food, and not just five rows of junk, but decent including a fair selection of produce and dairy products. I was surprised at the large electronics section but then realized at a location serving mostly 18-24 yr olds this a norm. Mix with the staples of life this store is catering to the local needs. The check outs are mostly self-serve but there are least two people checking the old way to keep the lines moving. There is still a large selection of chips and candy to keep the levels up for all night studies.

My go to store for everything I need while on campus. Construction is a bit annoying, but this tiny store makes up for it.

Not a very good selection. Half of the shelves were empty and no one was stocking them. You may find what you're looking for.

Maegan green is the best employee !! She's so nice and has the prettiest curly hair. I highly recommend the vanilla from here. It's only $0.75 cents, what a steal! I also recommend the dairy free halo top although the selection is quite poor.
