I love the White Bear Lake store, so when I stumbled upon this one while walking Arbor Lakes Shops…read moreI was super excited! So many fun gift ideas!!! Unique kitchen items. Soup, baked goods & cocktail mixes along with recipe books. Clothing & jewelry! Art, lamps... stuff we don't need, but would love to get/give as a gift because it is all so cool! Staff were attentive and friendly! Nothing cheap here, but it is all high quality. I am a fan and will be back!

Even when the store is busy they hardly have registers open on both sides. Generally there's always staff around and the will help need be expect for checking out.

Not to be confused with Wide Barn, which is the same store but for big and tall people…read more This is more quiet and sleepy and maybe more friendly and definitely a better selection because they're so much less busy, than the Roseville location of this little candle store in the mall up there. This one is in Ridgedale, the sleepy mall in the west burbs of Mini Soda. They're not cheap but they do have a good selection. I just can't spend too much time in here cuz I get a migraine headache because of all the scents. It just doesn't make scents.

Do some gift shopping here! They have an online shop you can always use, but it's way more fun to…read morecome in when they're open. The most obvious reason is that of course you want to smell what you're getting. But also I just love the whole ambiance when all the studios at the Northrup King building open up to let you wander around. And acutally, a really cool thing to do is save your used containers and bring them back, and they will sell you a replacement candle of the same size for half off! These are very thoughtfully crafted candles, with unique scents that I have gotten compliments on from my houseguests. They have new creations each time I come in, and they have different styles depending on your preferences. Some I've liked much more than I expected, like Tomato Garden, I've been stocking up on that scent, very pleasant! Check their socials for when they're open, but I think the normal thing is on Saturdays from 9-4 and on the first Thursday evening of each month.

I had an awesome time learning the art of candle making with owner Heidi! She is a rockstar and is…read moreso freaking talented. Her story is very inspiring and I love how she's passionately sharing her talents with others. All of her candles are environmentally friendly and she also offers a candle exchange program that promotes healthy and sustainable choices for avid candle users who wish to recycle. Excelsior Candle Co is perfect for a date night, gathering with family or friends, or anyone that's interested in making their own candles with a guide. Her sessions are also very reasonably priced and are of great value. I think my favorite scent of all time was made by Heidi and it's her Guilt Free Egg Nog candle.... Thanks to her, every room in my home is warmly scented and I couldn't be more happy! FYI- They are inside Northrup King Building - Floor 2, Studio 206

I was just at this establishment and the owners treatment was very rude. I was trying to pay when…read morethe owner made a comment on my credit card transaction that left me appalled. Also just before helping me he made a similar transaction with my sister so this comment was unexpected and unnecessary. He was very back handed and treated me like I was not a worthy customer at his store. Terrible customer service and I will not recommend this store to anyone. If you want to go to a store where you will leave feeling uncomfortable and awkward this is the place to shop.

This store represents itself as an antique/ gift shop. We have been antiquing for well over thirty…read moreyears and understand that it is customarily accepted to request something of a reduction in price for an item that is $20 and above. We have had people decline to offer a deal on several occasions, but have never been yelled at and told we couldn't purchase anything! Most of the time our offers are accepted, because the sellers are motivated to move their stock and bring in new stuff and want people to have a positive experience. I have never had an experience like this before, and hope others don't either. Their are so many wonderful stores snd proprietors out there. I couldn't in good consciousness recommend this one!

We were greeted immediately by an absolutely bright and charming man who welcomed us to the store…read moreand told us about some holiday specials they had going on. It was small business Saturday so the shop was very busy and tough to navigate. The smell in the store is heavenly and they have a wonderful selection of the Thymes fragrances and collections. The merchandise includes gifts, decor, body fragrances/soaps/lotions, food items, and more. The Copper Pony not only fills a void in the marketplace but it brings an elegance to the downtown St. Cloud area. I wish them lots of success!!
