Come…read moreafter, and it feels like an escape from the Midwest and like you've entered a portal into Africa. Floors of this mall come alive with dozens of cafes, women-only beauty salons, oud shops, modest fashion shops, Somali ethnic wear shops, jewelry shops, men's barbershops and more. Some shop owners take cash only, but many take card. Some bargain, and others don't. I'd highly recommend stepping out of your comfort zone on a random Saturday and visiting Karmel Mall.

Stopped by to walk around and explore yesterday--we got a watermelon smoothie without added sugar…read moreand it was cold and refreshing. There are clothing stores, perfume and jewelry, barber shops, eateries electronic accessories, etc. I most enjoyed observing the groups of people playing dominoes and some kind of dice game. This place felt more like a gathering place for community and friends than a mall. That's nice to see.

I haven't been here since 2018, and it was really run down and trashy. I was here last week, and…read moreoh my gosh. There is still room for improvements, but the store is very clean now and they have added a whole new back section of refrigerators. It looks a lot nicer and there is less crime.

I didn't see Nicollet Shea here, so I was quite disappointed…read more This is a sleepy little new-looking Strip Mall, way down in Burnsville with a bunch of new looking businesses in here such as a CUB grocery store and a tanning salon that gave me a lot of issues and then some other cool businesses. It can be a pain to get in and out and there can be pretty claustrophobic parking at times but it's still a good Plaza and well-designed and I like it.

It's right after Thanksgiving (11/30/24) and the stores just extended their hours to 10 PM. I…read moreneeded to pop in for a gift for someone in from our of town. Whoever was announcing the store was closing was super great! Git there with a half hour to find a few gifts. The announced at 9:30, then 9:45 and again at 9:55. I never felt rushed like it can be sometimes when a store is closing for the night...the cashier's were all nice and still smiling from the day. THANK YOU!

It was clean, well lit, and I found my way around with ease once I figured out where things were. Seriously a giant target. And a very nice one. Their deli selection was also amazing.

One of the Mom's on my Son's soccer team told me about this place…read more The store owner, Mary, is so extremely nice! She buys things by the pallet from stores like Target, Macy's, Bed Bath & Beyond and more and passed the bargains into the public. Prices are super reasonable and it's relatively organized. Some of the items I picked up were a $3 women's shirt from Target (MSRP $24.99), $3 toddler shoes from Target (MSRP $27.99), $3 Toiletry Tray from Macy's (MSRP $22), $7 pack of three water guns (currently selling at Target for $14.99). She gets new things all the time so if you don't find something in your first trip don't be discouraged. If you live in the area I definitely recommend checking it out!

First time here and I found out about it on yelp. I looked around and the owners husband found me…read moreand introduced himself and welcomed me. He was ringing up customers when I arrived. The store is mostly overstock or extra items from Target and other stores that they buy pallets from. Pricing was reasonable as all clothing, shoes were New and $3.00. I questioned the pricing of pool and spa testing strips as they were marked $8.99 more than regular retail and one box expired in 2018. He made the executive decision to charge me 99 cents each. Wow how nice. They take credit cards with a $10 minimum purchase. There is a loyal customer club if you spend $100, you get $5.00 off the next time. The store had some variety of cell phone covers, bed sheets, clothes, bras, heath and beauty, socks, drapes. I guess selection changes regularly. Great customer service. Support small business.

I frequented Central Park Commons often while in Eagan. This shopping plaza with restaurants is…read moreroughly a two-minute drive from my hotel. It's set up like a mini neighbourhood. I like this plaza a lot. It has a standalone Starbucks with a drive-thru. Staff are always friendly and I enjoy coming here. Yes, it satisfies the tea addiction that I have. Recently, I spent more time figuring out what businesses are here. It has a Bank of America with a drive-thru. It is perfect for me to withdraw US funds, as I have a Tangerine account and I don't incur any charges when I do. My greatest find was Hawaii Poke Bowl. It has dole whip, which I absolutely love. I also had the rainbow poke bowl, which was amazing. It is rare to find an eatery with a perfect Yelp five-star rating where more than 60 Yelpers have reviewed it. Hy-Vee is the grocery store that anchors this plaza. Although I have yet to set foot in this store, Hy-Vee was my go-to grocery store when I lived in Rochester. I dropped by Marshalls and HomeGoods. It's a combo store. They look new and have everything from clothes to floor lamps. I love staying in Eagan. The shopping is great and this plaza is no exception. It has everything that I love and need. I simply need more time to visit every store and restaurant here. It should take me a few more visits. (102)

So we walked around the food court area, most of the stalls were closed. I appreciated the variety of eateries available. We spent time browsing the mini grocery area, where they sell various interesting items such as honey comb and Turkish delight. My friend bought dried chamomile flowers in bulk to make tea. It was only a quarter the price of buying chamomile tea bags! In the building were some interesting art sculptures. I really like mixed use spaces like this.

I love Midtown Global Market with all of my heart. I went…read morelast Friday for the first time in a while and have already been back 2 times already since then (it's now Monday). Midtown Global Market has been such a staple in my life. It does such a good job of having food options from so many cultures and parts of the world. The food is reasonably priced and the workers are all so kind and knowledgable. Beyond just food, there is a huge selection of art, groceries, clothing, and more. MGM has always felt like the ideal of what Minneapolis is and can be. I am sad to see a lot of booths closed right now. My heart aches for my neighbors and community. I hope (and know) that MGM can bounce back and continue to be a place of diverse community. Love MGM always.
