“Really made me think. Will return again for more inspiration! Store is also thoughtfully organized (for example, cookbooks are by food gifts for sale); rich in character.”
“Lovely children’s bookstore that is quirky and clearly designed with young ones in mind. Staff is always happy to help or recommend books; cats roam freely through the store, and a few other animals call the bookstore home too. The best. :)”
“Most of the workers here are so nice and very helpful, I prefer reading quietly and disturbed while I browse, and they were very accommodating. I’m very thankful that they let me just sit on the floor because there isn’t very many seating areas.”
“Our visit to this store was pleasant, and friendly staff were eager to help us find exactly what we were looking for.
The selection of books in this store is full of useful, practical knowledge, meticulously organized and lightly scented with the subtle hints of incense.
Lots of very interesting other items here too- ritual implements, sculptures, and an array of other compelling goods that you're unlikely to see anywhere else.
Worth the trip- parking's in the back. We'll be back soon!”
“Dream Haven Books & Comics has all the fantasy/sci fi/adventure/horror you never heard of before walking in. Tons and tons of packed rows of books, including ones that are out of print, or signed by the author.”
“I hope this local bookstore continues to stay open after so many other good places in the area have closed through the years. Love coming in here. You can expect to pay the full price for your book unlike at a used bookstore or online, but it’s worth it. They also sell journals and puzzles.”
“Has an incredible selection of books, kind staff, and just a generally nice atmosphere. Hosts fun events for all kinds of interests. Inclusive space and content for all ages and reading levels.”
“I get inspiration in here. It us a calm place, but people are happy in the bookstore. The staff is always helpful, and I find good gifts for kids. They have an amazing selection of jigsaw puzzles if you want to get away from the electronic world. Trust me, all generations will add a few pieces to your project, even if they are not into jigsaw puzzles. We get them for rainy days inside. Books you can't find are easily ordered to the store, to avoid wet packages on your steps... It happens!”
“Sold about 50 books. You get a little bit back nothing great but garage sale price without the garage sale hassel. You do need to wait I store while they process the books but this process went fast. About 15 min.”
“My buddy has cancer. Thanks to this place it seems that my friend has had some reduction of cancer in his lungs. I didn't say it cured him but it slowed down the process...cats claw! Go see this guy who works his potions right in the store. Tha k you man for what you do. Staff is friendly too.”
“This is a cozy, one-story bookstore with a really nice and thoughtfully curated collection of books. Whether you're into fiction, non-fiction, or just browsing for something new, you're likely to find something that catches your eye. The layout is simple and easy to navigate, and the shelves are well-stocked without feeling overwhelming.
The staff here are super friendly and approachable — they genuinely seem to enjoy being there and are happy to help if you’re looking for recommendations or need help finding something.
One thing to note is that there isn’t a seating area or café space inside. Unlike some other bookstores that have a Starbucks or a lounge area where you can sit down and read a few chapters, this one is more of a grab-and-go kind of place. It would be nice to have a quiet corner to flip through a book before buying, but even without that, it's still a great stop for book lovers.
Overall, it’s a great place to support local and discover your next read. Just don’t expect to linger for too long unless you're standing!”
“A cool little bookstore in Northeast Minneapolis. Definitely worth a visit for any bookworm or avid reader. They have some shelf space dedicated to local authors and some space dedicated to local crafts which is honestly pretty awesome. Eat My Words Bookstore also uses their space really well, the place has a very unique atmosphere that’s very cozy.”
“I was so happy to be back in a Half Price Books after years living in places without any. It was welcoming and like seeing an old friend. I found more movies than my budget would allow. Quite pleased with my finds! Lovely, helpful, professional staff who helped get some sticky mystery gunk off of a dvd. Fantastic location. Am so pleased!”
“What an amazing and welcoming bookstore! It’s so nice to be greeted in a genuine fashion by someone who is interested in their customers. This is a charming little shop absolutely packed with paperbacks. It’s definitely worth a visit!”
“Great tarot reading from Wildstar! It had been many years since my last experience with tarot readings done by others, which had been wildly inaccurate. Wildstar let me choose from many decks, thoroughly explained each card and its relationship to others, and even took pictures for me so I could recall the experience whenever I need to be reminded of the suggestions from the reading! I'll be back next time I have a question on which I need guidance from the Universe!”

“What a place! There was a wonderful blend of new & used books, including entire series but at used prices! I left with several books and a T-shirt, I'll be back.”
“They got a nice Manga and anime related good section, not sure if it's in the middle of building or they were cleaning out though. But if they expand on it I think I could see myself coming back.”
“The owner and his bunny are so awesome and kind! Tiny little bookstore that is a little disorganized but totally unique. Seems like it came out of a novel. Zoro is a sweet bunny and definitely runs the place in his bunny fashion. Stop for the bunny and stay for the fun books you can find!”

“Wonderful bookshop. The staff is always helpful and willing to answer all my questions “well it had a blue cover and a murder by windshield fluid in it” type questions which is very much appreciated. Feels happy just to walk into a cozy place like that. 11/10 highly recommended.”
“Used to be the place for anything & everything music! Too bad selling CDS and concert tickets has all gone online and stupid fees expensive, it's ruined everything to do with live entertainment!
Hope you guys can make it with your 2 oldest stores! Hopefully you will be able to sell weed or something new to keep ya going!
Thanks for so many great memories going to your store every week for the new discs and tickets!”
“entirely volunteer-run and visibly dedicated to community aid & genuine leftist beliefs (rather than the more common liberal-ish vibe in minneapolis), this little bookstore instantly became a new favorite place to stop by when i'm in the area.”
“Great selection of leftist books and periodicals, including some used books. Expect to find friendly and helpful people hanging out, if you're looking for conversation. They carry the classics of theory as well as some newer fiction and analysis. Highly recommended.”

“I always shop clearance because of prices, I think their discounted books need to be discounted more frequently. But it's fun to walk through and look at all the variety.”
“What a warm and inviting place to spend some time. Grab some coffee. Browse some books. Head upstairs to the outdoors patio and relax and enjoy. Great space. Great books. Outstanding coffee.”

“I went here originally from 2003-2006 and graduated with my AA before moving on to a four-year university. I'm back now almost 20 years later and sincerely appreciate this place. I didn't realize back then how fortunate I was to attend NHCC when comparing it to the big university campuses.”
“This is one of those bookstores that you go to if you're looking for rarer non-fiction books. They have some fiction and common stuff too, but specialize in hardcovers, rare prints, and first edition non-fictions. As someone who loathes the average bookstores that have small selections of run of the mill non-fiction books, this place was a treat!”

“We took our grandson to the store to pick out a Bible and they had a great collection! It was wonderful to be able to go to a Christian Bookstore! Wonderful birthday outing! ?”
