“My favorite Michaels. Always has good clearance stuff, and the employees aren't annoying like other locations that think I'm shoplifting because I wore a hoodie or want to just browse without buying anything”
“We had great experience with Chelly. My father passed away a few years ago and I inherited his mass coin collection. As I am not rehearsed in coin collecting I was not sure how to handle these coins. I found Midwest Coin and saw the excellent reviews and reached out. So glad I did! Chelly was very knowledgeable and explained everything as she went through the collection. We felt very fairly treated. I recommend Midwest Coin to everyone looking for a great, fair and learning experience. Thanks, Chelly!”
“My brother referred me, after his recent successful visit. Jay was most kind & knowledgeable, giving me good advice on coins I inherited from my father. Instead of these silver coins sitting forever in a drawer, I now have some welcomed bills in my pocket. Highly recommend American Rare Coin and Collectibles!”
“Great little shop has a little bit of everything that you need and some great paint in hobbies selections for like building dioramas and scenery. They also carry a really top-notch brand of spray paint Hobby paint from Vallejo.”
“Such an incredibly fun, unique store. Full of interesting, odd and silly finds. Everything from pool floaties to old pens to miscellaneous computer parts. I didn’t have my kids along, but I saw a family there with young kids and they LOVED getting to pick out little knick knacks. Everything is super reasonably priced and we loved reading all of the silly price cards. Would definitely recommend a stop if you are in the area. You won’t regret it.”
“Couldn't have been better. Website was easy to navigate, and order was promptly filled and shipped out. The product arrived well packaged, and items where exactly as expected.”

“Lee and his team are very knowledgeable on the value of different coins. It’s a very busy place which shows how people appreciate going there. Also, the dogs are a plus for me!”
“Fantastic shop for art supplies (of the drawn/painting kinds). There's an array of paint types, colours, canvases, sketchbooks, pencils, tools, most anything you can think of needing for the craft! Staff are friendly and incredibly helpful too!”
“What a cool shop! Not a huge selection of back issues, but a nice assortment to look through. Looks like an incredible place for gaming with multiple rooms and table spaces for tournaments, etc.”
“One of the best crystal shops I've EVER been to and I've been to A LOT of shops! The staff are super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Don't miss the chance to support this amazing business.”
“Great service and cool store — Brought 2 fountains pens I had inherited, tried to fix but couldn’t get working quite right. He got me sorted in about 5 minutes, checked one pen gratis, and was able to find a part to get the second working while I waited.
Many nice fountain pens for sale, and also buys and sells coins. Highly recommend.”
“It’s a museum, it’s a toy store, it’s a game shop, it’s an experience one must have! Full of stunning Lego (or Lego adjacent) custom builds of military aircraft and vehicles. Showcases the art and skill of true Brick Masters! It is inspiring just to see what can be created!”
“Perfect place to shop for the unusual. Whenever I'm in the area I hit all three stores. I've bought gear motors, relays, switches, capacitors, and lots of other parts for my projects. Thomas Edison would have loved this place.
I even bought a 50 pound bale of shredded money to use as packing for my pen business. You never know what you're going to find there. Need a drop tank for a fighter jet? They had one many years ago.”
“Had a great experience today at Level Up Saint Paul! I'm in town for the holidays and wanted to meet up with a friend. We met and played games in the back room. They have a great selection of games available to play.
They have a big selection of games. I was looking for some titles and the staff were really helpful, both in telling me what they had but also telling me where I could get the ones they didn't have! Got a great deal on a game and looking forward to stopping in again the next time I'm in town.”
“Since Joanne's closed they've become my go to for crafty stuff nearby. The yarn & fabric selection is still fairly limited but luckily we have harris fabrics & rose yarn nearby. For school supplies and other crafty hobbies they should have whatever you need plus some!”
“Cool store. Smaller collection but some nice silver rounds and very cool pens and other collectibles. He took the time to chat with me and explain some things including the frenzy in the metals markets. Very low premiums over spot as well. I’ll be back. Thanks!”
“I have been an artist since childhood, so when I find a gem of an art materials store I am absolutely in heaven. Blicks, offers this and so much more. They have all types of materials- from all kinds of paints, chalk, paint markers, pastels, all types of tools for mediums and tons of different options for brands. Highly recommend this shop for your art material needs. They also have adorable cards, little funny gifts and so on. They even have a student discount (score!). Go check it out! Oh and the staff are all very friendly and happy to help!”

“A great little hobby store! The two gentlemen were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They were very busy trying to help multiple people at one time while I was there and continued to be both attentive and courteous to everyone. I am glad I found this store and I will be back. They also have some airplane stuff which I was delighted to find!”
“Good process for dropping off trades and fair value on store credit. My one knock was how hard it was to track down in the labyrinthine basement of this big industrial building.”
“I had an excellent experience selling gold coins to Minnesota Gold and Silver Exchange.
*I have continued to sell gold and silver here because they are so honest unlike many of their competitors. Greg stands behind his word and impresses me as a man of integrity.”
“Absolute has an organized selection of singles on display along with a variety of boxes and packs for sale. The crew is very knowledgeable and are great to chat with. I highly recommend stopping by!”
“Super friendly even when they are busy. They answered my beginner questions. Lots of variety of sealed boxes for sports cards and pokemon. Good selection of sleeves and storage boxes for cards. I would recommend them”
“The customer service is a four out of five stars.
Not five out of five because I had to email a couple of times on the same question even with waiting two or three days for a response, but eventually I got a response. The delivery and packaging of the product is a five out of five stars. Very quick arrival once shipped with no damage to my item. The item itself five out of five stars. Nicely designed true to size and historical accuracy. Only had the danish axe for a few hours, but it’s it comes across well made and sturdy. It’s surprisingly lightweight compared to the berserker axe I have from a different company, but still comes across as good quality and well made a great addition to the collection of tools my ancestors used when they were on Midgard. Overall five out of five stars for arms-n-armor I’d recommend this company and their products.”
“Great employees and great customer services!! I love pre ordering their product and they always give me a call the day it arrived! Will always stick to supporting small business store ! they save me gases from driving around to different locations <3 truly the best! 10/10!”
“Games by James is legit. These days, I find myself struggling to coordinate the people and time to play games like I used to. But in this store, I was inspired.
Time will tell if it comes to fruition, but seeing a collection that is passionate, complete, and inviting reminds me of how much fun it is to be into board games.
They've got staples: party games, dice games, card games, classics. But where they really shine are the local games and modern board games. They have something for everyone, from simple to learn ones to games that become all day events.
And that's the fun of games: someone has made a game for your exact taste. And the guys working in here know how to help you find it.”
“Sweets is my go to when it comes to kendamas. I ordered online and left a note asking if they could give me a well balanced kendama for the one I was ordering and they did! They left me the specs of the dama on my packing slip and gave me some candy too! Shout out to the sweets team for spreading the love really do appreciate it!”
