This is a destination store like no other. It is hard to describe, part museum, great gifts, things you didn't know you need in your home. I go to this store everytime I am in Rochester MN.

Whenever I come to Rochester, I love walking through the Galleria between appts at Mayo Clinic. I always find something interesting at Counterpoint, esp with regard to unique kitchen items.

I visit Rochester often as a patient of Mayo Clinic . The shops at the Galleria are lovely. Counterpoint had the Eileen Fisher item I had been looking for in Chicago. I was able to browse for a time and then Carol came to help me out. Warm, funny and so helpful. I was so pleased with my purchase.I am making sure customers know this, as I see another reviewer saying just the opposite. I had nothing but a great experience here. I will be back!

I was recently in Rochester and visited Counterpoint on a shopping trip. I was amazed! I live in a city three times the size, and we don't have anything nearly as large or with the variety of Counterpoint. From clothing and shoes to housewares (my favorite new find were paper napkins that look like cloth--gorgeous!), lifestyle, decor, gadgets, and gifts, I found a dozen unique things I wanted to buy, and if I lived in Rochester, it would be my go-to gift store. The service was terrific--the employees were helpful and I could tell they were proud of their store. I was glad I was there with a local, otherwise I might not have checked out the rest of the store, which was on a different floor. I will definitely return, although I see they have an online shopping presence as well that I need to check out further.

If you don't know about Counterpoint, you should! I've been a loyal customer since 2007 buying as many of my gifts from this delicious shop as I can cart back to Connecticut with me. Last week I ticked off all of my "hard to buy for" Christmas list. Each gift was beautifully wrapped and delivered to my hotel. Thank you Counterpoint for the great service.

Visiting Rochester, I found this amazing store. What a wonderful selection. I bought several gifts and they wrap them beautifully for free. It is so nice to walk around and find items for the home that you suddenly realize that you have to have. The woman at the store was so friendly in helping me decide what to get my nephews son as a gift. I can't wait till my next visit to shop here again.

So many unique and unusual items that everyone needs. We stopped three times and saw different things each time we looked around.

I love the items in these two stores and it's a great place to find a gift in Rochester but both stores are very unfriendly to customers. They don't want you to touch anything, they are not welcoming, and overall you feel like a bother for being in the store. Clearly from many reviews I am not the only person who has experienced rudeness from the staff. It's unfortunate because the products they carry are really neat.

The owner is unbelievably rude. I'll never set foot in that store again. A young group of teens from a Christian group outside of the store across the mall from her store and she came over and told them to leave because they were disruptive to her business as a store owner. I was in HERS and the group was not disruptive and we'll chaperones by adults. SHAME on the OWNER. She hurts this nice mall.

Love this shop. Carol and her staff have the best attitudes. So fun - just to a place to pass some "Mayo-Time" looking at cool stuff. Always something I have never seen before- a super desk light, a new kitchen gadget, or just a fine piece of fabric to "ohhh" and "ahhhh" over. Very comfortable just spending time in a welcoming, and hip, happy place. Thanks Carol and Counterpoint! Bought some very sweet Xmas ornament for gifts next year, and a great set of salad tongs. But mainly was happily distracted for 20-30 minutes. Be sure to check out both stores- upstairs and down. Curt & Timm- Minneapolis

What a fun store! Purchased some glasses that I loved and when I lost them I also found out just how great their customer service was as well! Thank you Carol for your quick response and helping me get them replaced!
