“I can't wait to visit again. I love all the unique food items. Their staff is beyond friendly. They are friendly, helpful, and so much fun to interact with. My gal pals & I spend a lot of time laughing.”
“Walking into the General Store of Minnetonka is like stepping into your grandma’s attic—if grandma had impeccable taste, curated lighting, and a snack aisle that could cause spontaneous emotional healing. It’s a glorious mashup of gifts, gourmet treats, cozy clothes, and home décor that whispers, “You need this ceramic squirrel in a sombrero. Trust me.”
Every corner holds a delightful surprise. One minute you’re admiring candles that smell like “Autumn’s Flannel Pajamas,” and the next you’re clutching a mug with Prince’s face and wondering how your life led up to this exact moment. Memorabilia and nostalgic treasures abound—half museum, half shopping spree, and completely charming.
? Clothing - Comfort meets whimsy.
? Food - Delicious enough to make your diet give up in defeat.
?️ Home Décor - If your walls could talk, they'd ask for everything here.
Whether you're gift-hunting, memory-lane-strolling, or just there for the novelty socks, the General Store of Minnetonka makes you smile and then somehow convinces you to buy three things you didn’t know you couldn’t live without.”
“This place is awesome. As someone who has far too long used alcohol to help wind down at the end of evenings, I’m searching for a replacement of that ritual. They have so many great options for this. Erin the owner is super friendly and helpful and got me set up. I’ll be back!”
“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.”
“Bill delivers truly world-class communication. The process does take some time, but it’s absolutely worth it. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and shipping was incredibly fast.
If you’re looking for this level of service and quality, Bill and The Dream Shop are the place to go.”
“I love a store with unique offerings and Patina really does have something for everyone. From cute kitchen goods to craft items to plushies, if you're looking for a gift this is a great place to shop.
They sell quality goods so I wouldn't call this place inexpensive, but not everything is expensive either.
I always find something unique, especially around the holidays.”
“I always feel very comfortable and welcome when I stop in to shop, the selection is amazing. They have anything you could want, I really appreciate how they have clean and well lit fitting rooms surrounded by mirrors so you can really check put your selections from all angles.”
“My Teacher had recommended me to come here if I was looking for a place to take classes over the summer. Me and my family had booked a few weeks in advance so we would have a spot on the date we decide to throw on the wheel. The class we took was 2 hours long. We got to make as much bowls as we wanted in that two hour frame, but we can only choose up to only 3 pieces to take home. We all had a fun time! The instructor was really nice and helpful when it came to needing more help on the wheel. If you’re looking for a fun beginners activity on throwing on the wheel, I would recommend this place. Their store is also so cute.”
“Best gift shop in the twin cities! Great variety of locally made products for yourself or gift giving. Julie, the owner is incredibly kind and runs an amazing shop.”
“It's a beautiful space with amazing art from a diverse spectrum of artist and artistry. You WILL find something you love. The only problem? Sticking to your budget! You'll want everything! ?”
“Super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff. Bright, open, and welcoming environment with a wide array of products for people of all genders, body types, orientations, and preferences.I'd highly recommend SK to anyone ~ vanilla-to-kinky, beginner-to-advanced, curious-to-experienced ~ folx, alike!”

“I was a Canadian searching for Jellycats, and Patina was perfect.
I was stunned by the stock of the entire store & the friendly staff. When I was unable to find a specific product, the very kind Elise helped me source it at another nearby Patina location. Elise went above & beyond and instantly made Patina a positive association from a Canadian visitor!”

“I have been ordering all of my pysanky supplies from these lovely folks for 20+ years and have never had a single issue. The products are quality, and the customer service has been just phenomenal. My friends who also decorate eggs say the same thing! Thank you, Ukrainian Gift Shop!”
“Owner was friendly. The store was full of amazing items from beautiful jewelry and clothing to unique books. Loved the atmosphere and the art pieces on display will definitely come back to buy more some time.”
“Walked in after a horrible exp at the downtown location with a employee inna was a great worker she went above an beyond for us @ 5:56 pm closing at 6 she made us a fresh arrangement a cheescake platter a smoothie wit a smile thanks”
“Never have actually bought anything from here but I love the atmosphere and the people who work here. Such kind people who try to help you for anything and everything.”
“Have everything you want and or need for the type of products they sell. We got there close to closing time I think 30 minutes left open and the lady immediately informed us of that rather rudly I mean you coukd tell she was ready to leave and go home. She also rudly reminded us every 5 minutes how long to closing the shop but as far as products they sold I was happy there we easily found everything that we were looking for.”

“I stopped into this gift shop randomly on my way to the coffee shop next door and had an amazing experience. The lady who helped me I believe said her daughter in law owns the shop. She was incredibly kind and went far beyond her duties as a cashier on a day I really needed the kindness. Will 1000% be back just because of how wonderful she was, in addition to the fact that they have such a wide selection of gifts, cards, jewelry and other trinkets! Definitely stop in!”
“I was looking for souvenirs that were made in Minnesota and this shop had a variety. It's a small space, so take a minute to look at things from different angles. I found a lot of great stuff that I missed on the first pass.”
“This store is GREAT! Has so many options both male and female. And CECE??!! She’s amazing! You can ask her questions and she will genuinely give you great answers! Even on natural items that they have in store!”
“Cute but pricey little retro boutique. Cute stuff you normally wouldn't find in a brick and mortar. Staff was nice and store despite being crammed full was clean. Like a Spencer gifts but far less "Adult" stuff and incense.”
“I bought a Daytons sweatshirt at the Daytons Marketplace before Christmas and was told if need be I could return it to Shop in the City. I stupidly tried it on after I put on my makeup and it didn’t fit but I had stained it. I worked to remove stains which only helped a little. Went to Shop in the City to exchange it and plead my case. I offered to either pay for the damage or just return it for 1/2 of what it was worth. The very sweet clerks (sisters) called their manager who told them to replace it at full value. Very great customer service and I appreciate it a ton. Thanks so much.”
“Such a gem of a store. It's all hand made items by local artisans. Prices are great and the items are unique, so if you're searching for a hard to shop person, stop in.They do take credit cards now!! Hours and days are limited. Also, note it's tucked back a little so park near BLVD and walk over, you won't necessarily see an obvious sign from the street like a regular storefront.”

“I LOVE this shop and its people! I went there for five very specific gifts and somewhat hard-to-shop for recipients… the staff helped me for over an hour to make each gift perfect (including beautiful wrapping)… oh and found a few items for myself. ? HIGHLY SUGGEST Bean + Ro!”
“If you visit Minneapolis, this amazing art museum has to be part of the trip. A wonderful collection of modern and contemporary art. Sculpture garden is very cool. Grab something to eat too!”
“Based on gift delivery only: My friend sent me some adorable Mexican tin ornaments that the store shipped to me, wrapped cutely and safely first class mail in a bubble mailer with the price crossed off the receipt and a nice note from my friend so I didn't have to wonder who sent it. I think the store might be closed right now due to Covid, but if they are handling all their gifts the way they handled mine, this is a great place to consider your holiday or other shopping for friends who like fun, cute Mexican folk art!”
