It's a good size store. Got plenty of light. Lots of merchandise, but it doesn't feel crowded. The prices are a bit high, but I like the idea that I can feel/touch the products, rather than ordering from Amazon. The staff have always been friendly and helpful.

I used to love Patina. Such a fun, colorful, maximalists dream store…read more When I was a kid I feel like the vibe was more home decor, trinkets & boho-ish style. Now I feel like it's more of an overpriced gift shop. I'm aware that some items are justified in price because they are handmade and even some by local artist but the some of the price tags shock me a bit. I do like that they have Mn merch and a bit more trendy items (like disco stuff is in at the moment). The staff weren't very friendly. There were at least 4 staff behind the counter with no one checking out. No one greeted us, even when we were looking at jewelry at the counter they all had their backs turned to us and carried on with their personal conversations. Parking is easy at this location only

She called the company today and they stated that there was an issue with the functionality of the bag, basically a defect and they are sending us a new replacement part. She gave my wife some pushback on replacing the bag vs just the part. Poor business practice. Bag is broken send us a new bag or send us a refund. Thank you for sending repair kit. Figured you would send us new bag.

The staff was very helpful and nice and there was no pressure while browsing which I enjoyed so much. Intended to only for a little bit but ended up spending hours!

There's lots of Options and rooms and it's quite awesome. I expected the cafe to also just be on the corner but it's also big. Super cute and well decorated established building! My chai was pretty amazing, especially to bring around the store too. I love the idea of being able to sit and do typical cafe stuff and then take breaks to walk around the room. This was honestly a super cool find!

I wish that a fashion portal would open when I open my closet each morning. It'd be like Narnia,…read morewithout the lion or the witch... just the wardrobe. I'd just pop in to some awesome store, play dress up and then come back through my wardrobe like the Pevensie children. Anyway, Parc Boutique would definitely be one of my fashion portal stops. I follow the owner Thao on Twitter and Pinterest because she has amazing taste, so I should've known how much I'd like this store. It had been a while since my first visit to Parc (when I was young and broke), so my visit last week felt like the maiden voyage. There's a balance of affordability and higher-fashion style here, which I appreciate because that is a balance I try to find on a daily basis. There's a great selection of dresses, tops, jewelry, denim and more---all priced and curated well. The bauble table was where I had the most trouble saying goodbye. I saw the most interesting geometric pendant priced at about $75 (as usual, my eye wanders to one of the most expensive things on the table). Though I couldn't bring myself to drop the cash, I was compelled to put it on my Christmas list eight months in advance.

All of the brands they carry are women owned businesses and either local or from around the country. The staff is beyond friendly is they're always happy to help with any questions you may have. As well as clothing, they also carry the cutest natural skin care lines, especially Herbivore Botanicals. If you're in Minneapolis and have a shopping day, I highly recommend you stop in to their shop.

Touch all the pretty crystals, incense, essential oils, wearables, they have pretty much a little of everything. I have bought some expensive pieces here. I have gotten readings here.

Service: 2/5 Price: 1/5…read moreSelection: Geared towards orders, it seems. In store selection: 0/5 I stopped in to buy patio furniture and placed my order without issue. Service was alright, a bit slow and my order seemed unimportant, but it got placed and I was happy to support a local business. A few days before my quoted ship date I contacted traditions to check-in and they informed my ship date was actually delayed by 3 months due to a misunderstanding on their end with the vendor. Had I simply ordered online through the manufacturer, I would've already received my order. I canceled my order and received a refund without issue. I placed an order directly with the manufacturer for a slightly lower price and faster delivery than they quoted. I can't speak to their design services. I suspect this business isn't really meant for my budget (~$3-$5K for outdoor furniture) and more for whole home custom furniture/design purchases with $50k+ budgets.

Okay let me start this by saying, I know nothing about cars. (I'm a 25 year old woman trying to…read morelearn how to maintain and fix my own vehicle.)So, I walked into O'Reillys clueless asking for a stain remover. I was greeted by some helpful gentlemen and referred to Sherm. He helped me select the right cleaning solvent to get the coffee out of my car seats. As the other gentlemen claimed, Sherm is the expert, so I decided to ask some more car questions. Having a hefty scratch on the back of my car, I was wondering if I could take care of that myself. He helped me hand select the products needed, taught me how to do it, wrote it down and reviewed it with me. He looked up the style and make of my car to confirm we got the right paint, and made sure I understood how to do it. I also have a cracked fender/bumper(cluelessness example) and he helped me buy the products needed, and physically assisted me with putting the lug nuts on. As an older gentlemen he was on the ground helping me fix my issues. He made me confident that I could fix my scratches on my car, and he was incredibly professional and resourceful. I promised Sherm I would come back to show him the result when I repainted my scratches like he told me. When I came home, I told my fiancé about the encounter and he stated "they don't make them like that anymore". That's the truth, he took time out of his day to explain, assist, and physically look at the car issues I was facing. I was nervous walking into an auto repair store knowing nothing about cars or how to fix them, but genuinely walked out feeling motivated and confident to do it myself. Sherm is the best, he's experienced and has great customer service. They truly don't make them like him anymore. (Give that man a raise)

DO NOT RECOMMEND WOMEN GOING THERE!! Went in on 12/9 at…read more12:30 working was this old crappy white man. I am a young female and prior to coming here I researched what bulb I needed for my car, and just wanted to confirm it was the correct one for my car. He didn't even ask what kind of car I had, so hoping it will work. Anyway when I was checking out he asked about rewards and I was being very kind and polite and just making conversation and said nope I don't come here often as a female lol. He decided to comment on that and said yeah I bet you got rewards for the dress shop... I said I don't go there often either lmao. my question is just why is any comment like that needed? Make sure you have employees that can be respectful to women In spaces dominated my men. I get he might be a crappy old man but still I was being very kind and smiling and told him to have a good day after that comment. If ur a women do not go there save your money for a place where the man is willing to help you and be respectful. Peace and love

Stopped the two boutiques almost adjacent to one another and personally preferred Cherie's. The…read morespace was open and spread out, no so crowded and able to clearly walk around and see items around the boutique. There were clothes and accessories to look at. The young lady at the counter was pleasant and checked on the price of a chain necklace for me that was on a shelf towards the back of the boutique. It was marked at $32. I thought it was a little high, but the neighborhood is also a factor, so understood. There were a nice array of accessories, which I am a fan of. Lots of nice purses, Dooney & Burke, and necklaces and earrings. Fortunately for myself, there were clip-ons as well. I was almost tempted to purchase a pair of yellow square earrings for $12, since I love larger earrings, but did not. I did manage to grab a business card. I was advised that if I check social media new finds may be posted. I will definitely be checking out their finds.

But, you can still find some brands like Express and Banana Republic at reasonable prices. It can be hit or miss here sometimes as it does appear that much of the clientele is middle-aged. But, I have managed to find cute dresses for clubbing as well as work appropriate pieces here without spending an ungodly amount of money.
