This is an adorable gift shop that you can easily spend hours in without ever seeing all there is to offer! 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!!! read more

The Round Bar is a long standing boutique in the North Suburbs. It's got great land history it prides itself in. 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! read more

See all

If you are a fan of the shabby chic decor this is a must see destination! The Round Barn has new & old home/garden decor along with antiques, furniture, foods & more! You can't possibly see everything they have to offer in one loop around the barn...and yes, it is actually a round barn...painted bright red so you can't miss it from the main road. They change out the decor according to season so make sure to stop by & stock up on your favorite holiday items. Check out their website at www.roundbarnpottingco.com. read more

Had a wonderful experience! Found the perfect baptism gift for my nephew- something elegant that he can treasure for a lifetime! I also found that they carry many products that donate proceeds back to some great causes- love to give back and shop local whenever we can! Looking forward to finding many more treasures in the future! #LifetimeCustomer read more

LOVE the place, however they follow you around like your a thief. My daughter was on one side of the place and my mom and me on the other. The were watching each of us. It was such a awful feeling. When we walked out my daughter said "mom, they thought I was a thief or something, they watched me the whole time." I said "they did the same to me and my mom also!" Never going back there again. Terrible to make anyone feel that way. read more

Love this store. So glad they are back. When I was young my mom and I would always come here and look at fun home decor. Now I can find shabby-chic things for my wedding and my future house at some point as well. Really sweet little shop with a lot to offer. read more
