“Such a cute hidden gem I'm glad I stumbled upon on Instagram. They have a wide variety, chairs to sit on and read a little. Shirts for sale & great local made gifts. Don't forget to say hi to the kitties!”
“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. :)”
“Rima is such a kind and caring owner. The selection of the books is amazing for me and my kids. Love the selection of classes. Better then buying from Amazon. Keeping my money local.”
“Not only is this a cute bookshop, but the STAFF!! They are so knowledgeable and willing to help. Their book recommendations always hit the spot I was looking for. Everyone here loves to read and it makes me so happy!”
“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.”
“This is a great little metaphysical shop. Wide selection of books, herbs, and treasures. There is also Tarot and Oracle readings available at the back table. There is also a classroom that is used for various classes. I highly recommend the classes.”
“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.”
“One of my favorite bookstores in the world - the combination of the breadth in the used collection and the intensely queer viewpoint of the curation make this absolutely hit my sweet spot”
“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.”
“This book store is the go-to for me and my kids when we want to break away from tech and enjoy looking for something good to read. The store is always clean, well lit and all around inviting. The staff are friendly and helpful. I was looking for a good series for my daughter to bridge her reading from picture filled books to good chapter books. The lady that helped me was able to point me to a number of great series that my daughter really enjoyed.
If you need help, ask, the staff here know their stuff!”
“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.”
“Books? YES! Multiple different genres? YES! Coffee and pastries? YES! Fun and cute local art in the form of stickers, mugs, candles, and vending machine? YES YES AND YES! Need a date night book gift? They have it!
Super cute and quiet bookstore! Will definitely recommend!
Added a few photos of different books that caught my interest along with the fun vending machine and candle.”
“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!”
“Appreciate the staff here, the game selection and the atmosphere. Definitely recommend stopping buy if your looking for books, games or a cool gift for a loved one! There weren’t any DVDs but lots of everything else though!”
“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.”
“Lovely store, my niece found some great books on tarot card reading and some fantasy fiction. I enjoyed a nice tall cold beverage from Starbucks. Staff were helpful and friendly.”
“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.”
“The store itself was ok. There was a large selection of books for all ages. My kids were overcome with joy and excitement from the children's section and all it had to offer. The lady at the café was very rude. She did not treat customers equally. I will leave it at that.”

“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.”
“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! ?”
“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!”
“Awesome experience to include with my day of plans at the Mall of America. For context, I slept in the airport the night prior, so being able to relish doing a nice peaceful activity was just what I needed. I took a book off the shelf and ordered a macchiato to enjoy while reading. It was great, a book and a coffee in a peaceful atmosphere is always a delight. Can’t go wrong when you walk into Barnes & Noble.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Everyone is always super friendly and helpful. I also love how inclusive they are to everyone.
Also, if you have extra paper bags you can bring them to a location for them to reuse. It's great that they're recycling.”
