We visited Minnesota's Largest Candy Store during a family vacation in July, and it was such a fun…read moreand unique experience! We ended up spending over two hours there, and honestly, we could've stayed even longer. They truly have every candy you can imagine -- from current favorites to nostalgic treats that instantly take you back to childhood. It was so much fun seeing candies we hadn't thought about in years. The decor is colorful, whimsical, and over-the-top in the best way, which makes it feel like more than just a store -- it's an experience. There's also a bakery inside where we picked up some sweet treats, and they have a huge selection of root beers and other specialty drinks that you don't see everywhere. If you're planning a stop in Minnesota, this is absolutely a must-visit spot -- especially for families or anyone who loves a little nostalgia with their sugar rush!

Today, I actually made a purchase. :) I got 4 brats free with my CSA, but I wanted more - the family and I have tried the Wild Country (Bacon, wild rice, and pepper jack cheese) brats before, and they are so good. We needed more. The transaction was smooth, and the girl helping me was helpful and kind. Covid info: All staff were wearing masks, customers were 6 ft distanced and most were wearing masks.

A chocolate lovers paradise! This chocolate shop has so many types of chocolate treats. The caramel…read morepecan chocolates are delicious. The store has cups of chocolate organized by type (fruity, peanut butter, nuts, etc). Next to most of the chocolates are buckets with individually packaged cups holding samples, so it's nice to try it before purchasing. It is on the pricier side, with a lot of the smaller cups being around $15-20 each. The quality and taste is worth it though! They also have a punch card where you get a free cup of chocolate after purchasing 12 cups. They offer free gift wrapping which is a nice touch. Service is friendly. The shop is located in a strip mall with plenty of free parking available.

She was so patient and helpful with sizing, ordering, looking for more of the product I wanted. This is one of the only stores in the US you can order not just Dirndls, but also Mieders. Mieders are amazing because you get a great festival look that you can wear with your OWN jeans! Great for travel and when it's fall in Germany because I find it a bit cold. Erika also has the largest selection of blouses online. 10 stars!

What a great little store! The owner has various hours depending on time of year but fulfills…read moreorders on request consistently. Store is operated out of a residential basement so if it feels like you're driving into the middle of a neighborhood then you're on the right track. She has a little round about by then entrance and signage once you get close so you know you're not just driving onto some strangers property. It's tight inside since she has little trinkets and souvenirs packed in wherever there is space. There's food, collectibles, clothing and more! If you've visited or lived in Germany then you'll probably find something that reminds you of the area. She orders most of her products from German retailers and shops directly, everything we found was definitely authentic. Some items you can find at World Market or online for a little less, but the majority I've only seen in Germany. If you have a friend or relative that you want to surprise with some cool gifts from Germany then this is a good place to start.

Google searched it, and it's 4 miles away. But, this one is brand new and worth it. Same layout like the Eagan store. Open produce and wider aisles. There is the brand new Goodwill next door, and it's next to Walmart and the movie theater. We didn't bring bags along and just found 4 stray boxes. The newest favorite items are cosmic cheese balls and all dressed potato chips. The raspberries here were nice-looking and not pale. It's worth the drive if you're around I 35 in Lakeville.

I had a ton of fun perusing the store. There were so many things to look at. Lots of holiday options but also a few staples if you just need a local grocer. Parking is on street but I found a spot right in front. Great experience.
