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!

Emerald Isle is one of the best antique stores in Anoka…read more This store is mostly a huge antique mall. It takes up almost the entire "Old Post Office" building on downtown Anoka - 1st floor, 2nd floor, and basement. You enter up the big exterior steps and through the antique front doors. But the actual store entrance is inside the front lobby of the old US Post Office. The number of vendors and the quality of the merchandise is impressive. There seems to be something for everyone. I'd estimate about 10% of the merchandise can be considered non-antique items like hand made crafts and reproduction stuff. I particularly like one of the vendors on the 2nd floor. He has a lot of very high quality, rare, and fairly expensive stuff from early 1900s and a few things from the late 1800s. This dude has really good taste in antiques! My daughter liked the vendor in back, on the first floor, with a lot of music, beer, and Americana related stuff. Many of his things are reproductions but he also has a few originals here & there. My wife really liked the rock & roll stuff in the basement and some of the funky shoes. The two women that own Emerald Isle are also very nice and helpful. We really enjoyed talking to them. Stop in if you're in the area. You won't regret it.

Along all of that, the space to sit and take in the environment isn't bad at all. You can easily spend hours inside this place. Staff were welcoming and warm. I'll return.

Now I feel like it's more of an overpriced gift shop. I'm aware that some items are justified in price because they are handmade and even some by local artist but the some of the price tags shock me a bit. I do like that they have Mn merch and a bit more trendy items (like disco stuff is in at the moment). The staff weren't very friendly. There were at least 4 staff behind the counter with no one checking out. No one greeted us, even when we were looking at jewelry at the counter they all had their backs turned to us and carried on with their personal conversations. Parking is easy at this location only

Shopping at Patina has always been a cherished part of our outings. Sadly, that tradition came to an abrupt and upsetting end yesterday on Mother's Day. I share this as a warning to others: the Patina team appears more interested in targeting their customers than treating them with dignity or respect. On Mother's Day, the Roseville store manager, Trina, accused my 83-year-old mother of shoplifting-- claiming she saw her steal something several weeks earlier. My mother is one of the kindest, most honest people you could ever meet. She's a retired retail associate who spent over a decade at Herbergers and has never stolen a thing in her life. Trina offered zero proof-- no video, no photo, no name on file. Trina, along with an associate with a judging attitude, showed us one blurry image of a person standing at the counter, photographed from behind, who could've been anyone. Claiming this has some sort of proof. Trina also claimed a police report had been filed and that my mother spoke to police. She gave us a case number. When we contacted the Roseville Police Department, we were told no reports were filed in 2025. The case number Trina gave us referred to a 2024 incident involving a woman with the initials B. W. - not even close to my mother's name. This was a blatant attempt to justify a false accusation and make us go away. I followed up yesterdays incident by emailing the district manager, Karin Tappero, as directed by staff. I did not receive a response. Being wrongly accused and publicly embarrassed-- on Mother's Day, no less -- was incredibly hurtful. It completely overshadowed what was meant to be a joyful day. My mom and I were left shaken, humiliated, and heartbroken. After decades of loyalty, I can't express how degrading and disappointing this experience was. Patina used to be such a fun shop for us to go to together. We will never return to any of their stores and happy to bring our business elsewhere. In today's retail climate, it's astonishing that Patina has no problem alienating and falsely accusing longtime customers. Shoppers deserve better.

So many things they carry are right up my alley, and it's a great place to spend time just looking at everything.
