Updated review: Came back a second time with a friend and I'm honestly much more impressed. My…read morefirst visit didn't totally win me over, but this time the coffee was noticeably better and the overall experience felt more worth it. The space still has a slightly weird food hall vibe (not super cozy coffee shop energy), but the drinks are hand crafted. They use local beans, have handmade syrups, and offer a fun variety of specialty drinks that feel thoughtful and well made. One of my favorite details: the plants throughout the shop have names and many are for sale, which is such a fun, quirky touch and makes the space feel more intentional and unique. Overall, I'm glad I gave it another shot, much better experience the second time and definitely a cool local spot with personality.

Stopped by Curioser Coffee for the first time while visiting Revolve Hall. Service wasn't my…read morefavorite as staff felt a little bland and not super welcoming, but they definitely know how to make a solid coffee. I ordered the Absolutely Alice and loved it--the balance was spot-on, not overly sweet, and just what I needed for a mid-day caffeine boost. My chocolate chip cookie was yummy as well. The space is beautiful. Filled with plants, cozy lighting, and plenty of seating. It's the kind of place that works well for catching up with a friend, getting some studying done, or just having a little solo time. Bonus: there's parking on-site, which is always a win in my book, and a bunch of other businesses in the area if you want to run errands after. I don't make it out to Apple Valley often, but this spot might give me a reason to start.

Bachman's is a family-owned business with several Twin Cities locations. In spring and summer, the…read moregreenhouses are a haven for garden lovers. This spot is known for its generosity with service, knowledge, and plant quality. Some may find the prices too much. However, the Purple Perks program guarantees purchases (employees can provide specifics). And, this is a low-pressure environment - it isn't unusual to find people simply strolling through the beauty alongside those serious shoppers. All seem to share a devotion that goes back years. Bachman's is highly likely to have just the plant you are looking for (yes, even the unusual ones) ... and if they don't, they do know what you are talking about and will try to point you toward a reasonablly close replacement, or the place you might find just what you are after. Today, I've been greeted by some employees I've come to know .... I'm here to find some strawflower seeds and maybe more herbs and the fancy tomatoes ... I'm resisting the oh-so-comfortable seating chat set that I can definitely picture near our garden ... and will be headed over to see if the on-staff horticulturist is around to offer some soil recommendations for planting just in case it isn't too late for winter sowing. Must. Avoid. Cute. Gift. Area. (!!!!!!) (Pictures and a few more details to come once shopping is completed!)

Staff is always helpful and knowledgeable. Pricey, but plants are first-class. Clean environment.read more

Stephanie of Spaces Reinvented is particularly gifted at... reinventing spaces! I was at a loss for…read moredecorating our tiny living and dining rooms; their hideosity has long been a dispiriting challenge. When Stephanie came in for an initial consult, she asked the right questions and identified the problems She immediately (and tactfully) proposed practical remedies. Carefully working with what we had already, she came up with color and style ideas. In a short time she came up with great alternatives for colors, paint, flooring, furniture and fabrics. She devised better furniture layouts for flow and openness. Stephanie's solutions cleared up my thinking immensely. For example, it never occurred to me to get rid of my clunky computer corner. She had excellent ideas for an office niche: now I don't know why I put up with my corner mess for so long. She made me realize that it is better to expose our handsome wood floors than hide them under disproportionately-large rugs. Not only did Stephanie provide insightful suggestions for the main rooms; she spent time going through the other spaces in the house, answering questions and making clever recommendations. Stephanie is a wonderful listener. I am easily intimidated by experts, but she is so personable and easy to work with, plus she's very generous. She made it seem like we are a team. I think she could solve anyone's design dilemmas. It's always a pleasure to watch a gifted professional perform her particular magic, and I look forward to seeing her again.

From the owner: Spaces Reinvented was founded by Stephanie Engel in 2017. Before launching the firm, Stephanie…read morespent over twenty years in the criminal justice field as a probation and parole agent. That background taught her how to read a situation quickly, spot what others miss, and make clear decisions under pressure. Those same instincts now shape how she approaches every design project. She walks into a home and can see exactly what it needs and in what order. That combination of analytical training and design education is what makes The Considered Approach™ work. It is not just a process on paper. It is how she actually thinks. Spaces Reinvented offers full-service residential interior design for homeowners across the Twin Cities who want professional guidance and a process they can trust. Every project is approached the same way: understand the home and the goals first, then define the right path forward. We manage every phase from space planning and material selections to furniture sourcing and installation, so nothing falls through the cracks and the finished home actually holds together. We also provide strategic home staging for homeowners preparing to sell in the Minneapolis-St. Paul market.

I love the shop! It has beautiful, unique, one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture and home accessories!read more

We were looking at dining tables, she walked by us multiple times and she never asked if we needed any help. I had to seek her out to ask a question, she answered it and walked away. There was a set we were interested in and she just stood at the counter 100 feet away from us and never approached us. She clearly did not want to make a sale today. Terrible service for a small business. They clearly are not interested in selling furniture so don't bother going there.

On Thursday, I specifically was here to check whether there were baby Yoda silicone ice cube trays. The store in Eagan only had one, which I picked up for myself. I used it to make the most adorable, yet functional ice cubes in my hotel room's freezer that I needed to get one for a friend as a gift. I lucked out. This place had six of these ice cube trays. I got one. They were a steal at 50% off. This store also had a nice selection of graphic t-shirt. I ended up getting a Disney one with classic characters on the front, such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Daisy, Donald Duck, and Goofy. It was on sale, so I had to. I needed to try the t-shirt in a fitting room. Due to the pandemic, the store has one main fitting room in the middle of the store. The smaller ones scattered around the store were closed off. The fitting room that I was in was clean and bright. I liked the three hooks and a long rail to hang my items up and try them on. I ended up getting a long-sleeved tie-dyed shirt that was also marked down. I loved that the sleeves were longer. I normally have the reverse problem with sleeves. I went to line up at this store. It was a couple of days before Christmas, so the line was longer than usual. It moved at a decent pace. I got an older woman at the checkout who was in good spirits. I paid using a credit card. I also had my Kohl's points barcode scanned. It's a decent store with a ton of parking. Like with all Kohl's, you can do curbside pickup. The customer service counter is to the right when you enter the set of doors to the right of the Kohl's logo. This store is also special because it has a Sephora built into it. The Sephora is decent. It felt like being at a regular standalone one. I was impressed with the products that I saw, from the complete Fenty Beauty line, to Drunk Elephant. I liked shopping here. I'd come back again when I'm in the area. (488)

I have shopped at this Kohls location for over 20 years & today will be my last visit. The service…read morehas digressed significantly over the past several years. I understand that there was a complete paradigm shift post-Covid, however; you can only use that excuse for so long. The employees seem as though they are not properly trained to do the simplest of tasks regarding returns/price adjustments, etc. I attempted to return a hat/glove set that didn't fit this morning. The employee that helped (?) me was unable to locate the order number or SKU number of the product in her computer even though I pulled up the order on my phone & provided the information to her. She tried over & over again. I was becoming impatient & asked her to get someone else to help her. Another employee pulled up the information finally. I paid with Kohls cash & should have received that amount back. She insisted that the dollar amount was 0, so I wasn't due anything back. After I (the customer) explained how the return credit works in this situation, I was able to get my Kohls cash back. I have shopped at the Eagan location recently & have not experienced this level of service. This tells me that the onboarding of employees is not at the level that it should be.
