“I enjoy coming here! Staff has always been so kind and the clothing selection is great and I feel it is priced well. The bathroom though could use some help - at least a cleaning once in awhile. I will continue to come though!”
“Shopping at A Rare Bird feels like you’ve stumbled upon a lovely quaint European boutique filled with unique and interesting finds that are curated wonderfully, whether for the season or just every day. The owner has such an eye for color and detail. Always a treat to experience!”
“This is the store you want to shop at! They are so organized and have an amazing selection for each size. I love how they sort the clothes not only by size but by color too. It makes my shopping experience so much nicer and cuts my time in half!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I'm new to consignment shopping, but just 2 trips here, and I am completely hooked!! The VIBE in this place!! So. Much. FUN!! The gals working are so friendly and helpful and it is obvious that they love their work here. I will be back again, and again, and again!!! ❤️”
“My best friend and I were in the shop for the first time on Saturday the 28th of June. It’s cozy place, very nice atmosphere, I found an elephant clock, I love elephants. And my best friend Dana Marie found this book , it has designs on it. Very nice place.”
“Wow! Absolutely adore this shop! It’s right across from another store that is also very fun, but super crowded and overwhelming. It always feels a breath of fresh air when I arrive here and the curation is just outstanding! Not to mention all of the beautiful fresh flowers ?
Stop by if you’re in the area!”
“John was very welcoming. While we met, he answered questions thoroughly and suggested things I hadn't thought of regarding my booth. I'm excited for my first event and learning from others. I hope to be a part of this event as it grows!”
“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.”
“I went to many different shops and tried on many different dresses, but Andrea's was far and away the best experience I had. All five of my top choices were from this shop, and Nikolina is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. Beyond the sustainability and nostalgia of a vintage dress, their gowns are stunning. I promise that they have something for everyone. I tried on many dresses I never would have considered and I'm so glad I did. I still get so many compliments on my dress, and it's unlike anything I'd ever seen before. I couldn't even find a picture of it online (believe me, I tried). The collection of unique, beautiful, and vintage gowns blew me away. It was so fun to try on dresses from so many different decades. They are also really good about working within your budget. I can't recommend Andrea's enough!”
“this truly is a hidden gem! they were very kind & helpful in helping me pick out a ring for my fiancé. the jewely selection is soo tasteful! lots of vintage/ antique pieces which is what i was looking for. they had plenty of options within my budget and did not pressure me to spend more than planned.”
“If I’m going to shop for clothes, fashion avenue is definitely my first stop! They have a great selection and I love the sustainability aspect of shopping second hand. Why buy something new when you can find already produced items with tags on? The staff are friendly and I have had nothing but great experiences so far!”
“Great place to shop, good place to sell.I will say, they are not very friendly and rather short with you on the phone while asking simple questions. I was repeatedly told “this was in your signed agreement” though I was never given one the day I sold. Only a receipt. Still a good and reputable place and I’ll keep coming back because it’s a great store with quality items.”
“We move to the area over a year ago, found this place with great thinks and price
The service ir even better
H
Why pay full price, theirs are like new”
“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.”
“Don’t go here - I had 9 clothing items at this place - when I called to check on them they would say you have sold nothing but it turned out my items were added to another person’s inventory they couldn’t locate them all so they said they took 4 pieces that were placed on another account they said were mine but the others items someone got some extra money - would not go back there ever”
“Mandee is the absolute best person. I have been shopping with her for at least 10 years. I love the deals I get there! Give Clothes Mentor Eden Prairie MN a try!”
“Ragstock is a great place. I love the selection! Celebrating payday with some Christmas shopping & came across this thrift store on the way to the library in Eden Prairie. Picked up some socks, a shirt & a scary scarf. B.S.E. ASU working at Vistar Corporation warehouse. Guy named Sam asks for directions from me sometimes”
“I went in on a day where they had 30% off and I purchased a $100 worth of things. However I do want to mention that some things are completely overmarked In price. Especially some of the furniture pieces that clearly you can buy somewhere else brand new for about as much as what they're asking.”
“Lots of interesting mid-century modern stuff here. Was here looking for a coffee table but they didn't have the style I wanted, I'll have to stop back as the owner apparently gets new stuff in all the time. There was lots of other cool stuff here that I didn't need!”
“I wanted to leave a review, I was checking their hours on Google and saw the low reviews. I have occasionally over the last 14 or so years bought and sold at June. The owner is NICE! The other staff in the store are also NICE! I’ve worked in restaurants and construction, I have shown up wearing sweatpants. They don’t care what your profession is or what you are wearing. June has a curated collection of luxury items. It’s resale, so sometimes you find a lot, sometimes not so much. I personally think June is an amazing little shop, where I always end up leaving with something.”
“We love shopping here. The prices are great and they are selective in what they will buy to put out. I prefer second hand when possible so this place delivers.
I really like that they have a spot up front t for seasonal items. We get some great seasonal finds for super cheap.”
“I went there with a friend, I found a nearly new mattress pad for $5.00 it was red tagged the color of the week so it was 1/2 off yay. My friend found work shoes for $6.99. Many many jackets & t shirts. Housewares galore. Many items priced well below retail. Very clean and well organized.”
“I absolutely love this location for both purchasing and selling items. For starters the staff are amazing when it comes to helping find what is needed and welcoming you into the store. I almost did not go due to the reviews but given my past experience in a similar industry I know that when people don't get their way they try to sabotage places. I am happy I chose to go into this location. It has a wide selection of clothing and even when the staff are extremely busy they still welcome customers and help them find things when needed. While I was there someone became rude to a staff member and despite this customers attitude the staff remained professional. I will be continuing to shop at this location it is clean and a positive environment. The staff all seem to get along and work together.
When selling to the location the staff are quick and accurate with timing. I brought in multiple bins and they purchased a lot of the items and explained to me why they passed on the rest. They answered all of my questions that I asked and were very transparent about the way that they priced the items.
Don't let the negative reviews of Karen's push you away from this Once Upon a Child. This was the best experience I had at any of the locations I have been to. I almost did and I am happy that I didn't and chose to give this place a try.

“Just received my order - placed Sunday!! I was tickled to 'finally' find a replacement to a Twins sweatshirt I picked up 14 yrs ago when I moved to MN! The 'long sought after' replacement is perfect & I appreciate the quick response to my order. Your location continues to be a favorite CM of mine - whether shopping in person or online! 🤩”
