From handmade birdhouses to gourmet foods to throwback candy to inspirational books, this place has something for everyone! Be sure to check out their Facebook page and be informed of upcoming sales and events! They have a special Wednesday night girls night that includes a discount on all purchases. My anti-shopping husband and I went on a Sunday afternoon and I had to drag HIM out of the store! He found so many things that he wanted that he had to start a pile at the register so he didn't have to carry everything while he continued to shop! Our treasures included a pizza oven cook book, a shepherd's hook, a birdhouse, some peach bbq sauce, a handmade pen, a large picture/wall hanging, and a few caramels. We love it all and can't wait to go back! Pro tip....be sure to use the restroom so you can read about the history of this beautiful space. Sounds weird, I know, but what a lovely story abut a well-loved place! This is the PERFECT place to go if you are wanting to buy a unique and thoughtful gift for someone but have no idea what to get. Your gift will be the best one your receiver had gotten! The prices are fair. Not too high but not a discount store either. It is still a boutique. Oh...and the salespeople are just awesome! So sweet and make you feel like you are their closest friends. They wrap your goodies under with care and even offered to help carry things to our car. The whole experience was a 10/10!!!

I'm not all that knowledgeable on it but I'm sure they'd tell you about the "farm" it sits on. It's in a great location off of Bunker, near Round Lake. Parking is behind the building. Now you may think you are parking in a memory care apartment complex because you are. That's a part of this original Farmstead property. They take pride in MN. You'll find anything made by a local MN artisan here. There's a section devoted to just the MN State Fair. It may be stuffed to the brim with things, but it is organized well. Bath, body, kitchen, cabin, baby, faith, sports, fashion, treats. I usually want it all. And it's a great place to find a birthday or thank you gift. They offer gift cards and have offered basic gift-wrapping in the past (ribbon tied on the bag). They also host artisan markets to showcase some vendors. They gave me a postcard for an upcoming event, which includes food trucks. Sis and I stopped in on our way to the Downtown Anoka shops. But I found everything for my bday peeps here. No need to fight for off-street parking or the sidewalk sales crowd. Thank goodness!

It's not just a restaurant, it's an event venue! Rose Garden is massive and the inside looked…read morelovely (I just picked up takeout). We ordered: house special wings, Singapore noodles, shrimp egg foo yung, and sweet and sour pork. Everything was cooked well and the flavors were exactly what we were expecting. The sweet and sour sauce is house made and was delicious- we were glad to have ordered extra sauce! And the egg foo yung had a light and tasty brown sauce. The wings were tasty but I wish they had some crisp- they were quite soggy. The cost ended up being a little more than we were expecting, $70 for 3 entrees and an appetizer, but the food was quality and portions were generous. The Singapore noodles were 3 meals worth. Note: they will substitute fried rice for white rice with an entree, but it's a $5 upcharge per entree for a miniature carton of rice.

I would give Jaime and his crew 10 stars if yelp would let me…read more My problem was a gigantic hybrid maple tree that had gotten so big it was a threat to our home if we encountered any strong winds. 3-4 years ago we did have some strong winds and a huge branch broke off from the tree and luckily fell harmlessly to the ground. Jaime returned my call quickly and we set up a time for an estimate and he arrived as promised. We agreed on a price and a day for the job to be done. I also asked Jaime to remove a couple of large lilac bushes and thin out a much smaller "regular" maple tree. Jaime and I had phone contact a couple of times before the scheduled work day.....always returned my calls, always answered my questions and showed up on time. Because the tree to be removed was so damn huge, they were not able to complete the job in one day. They arrived first thing the next morning and completed everything.....all debris was removed, tree stump the size of a small car ground down, all debris from the stump removed and top soil applied to where the tree stump previously was. They even cleaned up the street where they ground up all the branches from the tree. No one could even tell they had been there when they left. Anyone that is looking for tree removal and/or tree pruning would be foolish not to at least call Jaime and see what he has to say. His work is great and his pricing is right on as well! Next year I am planing on using Jaime and his crew for some re-sodding and some landscaping as well!

I have a love/hate thing going on with the Ace Hardware chain -- I'm averaging them out to 3 stars…read more I've been to this Frattallone's twice in the past month. Everything is very expensive. I look at them like a convenience store for hardware, household, and garden type items. I'm going to pay more money at Ace if I was too lazy, unprepared, desperate, or otherwise in a hurry to get my items at a big box store or on-line & mailed to my front door. It seems like 99 times out of 100 I can get the item cheaper at Menard's, Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, or on-line. But sometimes I'm in too big of a hurry and I didn't prepare ahead of time or order something on line. I have to say, the people are always very friendly and helpful. The customer service has always been excellent. And they have some items that you can't easily find at a big box store. -Daddy Maxx Retro

I am on the fence between 3 and 4 stars: 1. the service was…read moregreat. They refill waters before they are half way done, bring food out timely, check on time. All good. 2. food good egg foo young on point, egg rolls really good. Beef and broccoli? Meh. Too many giant chunks of uncooked onions, beef was chewy and so fatty that at times you can't swallow it. Oolong tea? Passable but so comforting. 3. surcharge for gratuity 15% automatic 4. fee for using credit card 5. Cleanliness- the floors and bathroom soooooo dirty. There is a lock on the outside of the women's bathroom. So anyone could slide this and lock you in? What's that? If you can't maintain cleanliness in main areas what does the kitchen look like. Also there were two tables that were piled high like someone was using one as an office space and the other to stock items on. 6. there are so many types of Asian foods it can be confusing. Overall, I would give them another try. The Pho looked amazing from other tables.

Four stars for Vietnamese food! This place is an enigma. All the signage points to Chinese food…read more Their main sign out front boasts "Hunan, Szechuan, Peking, Cantonese style." Yet the most authentic stuff on the menu is the Vietnamese section, which is not mentioned in the restaurant. Being a Hong Konger, where we do in fact have all these cuisines back home in authentic form, and I have personally dined in all these styles, this place is not that I assure you. So come here for Vietnamese. Looking around the place, it was clear that the 4 tables of Asians are here for Vietnamese. I would personally stay away from the Chinese offerings judging by the plates that were coming out. They did have a little lunch buffet line out, and a counter full of Chinese dish-ware, accessories, and snacks. Quite strange. The buffet would not be something I'd touch if you paid me... Ok enough of that big confusing bit about cuisine. I ordered Bun Bo Hue, and it was great! Lots of meat options, well stewed to tenderness, good portion size. The broth was lacking in a little salt, but it was full of flavor as expected. Just some sprinkles of salt and a little sugar tuned it right up. The sprouts were starting to brown. Overall it was tasty and filling. Pricing was on point at $8.99. I would definitely come back and try the other Vietnamese dishes, and maybe even the Chow Fun and Cantonese Noodles...maybe. Stay tuned!!
