Jocelyn R. "I have driven by this place a million times and had NO IDEA they had a little coffee/lunch counter inside until a recent Yelp search alerted me to the fact?! My husband and I had a very nice lunch here, I loved my grilled cheese and soup, plus picked up some day old peanut butter chocolate chip cookies (YUM) and some nice lattes to fortify ourselves before a Target shopping run. There is a LOT to see here aside from food and this is a great gift shopping spot. I will absolutely come back here when I am in the area next time!"

Kara L. "We were greeted immediately by an absolutely bright and charming man who welcomed us to the store and 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!!"

Kara D. "Well what the heck! I can't believe I've walked by this adorable store so many times without stopping in, or honestly even knowing it was there. Curiosity is across the street from Young Joni and Dangerous Man, and it is a lovely little place!When we entered, we were greeted by an employee. Not even just greeted; he also struck up friendly conversation. Nice! Literally! The store is small but mighty, boasting very eye-pleasing house wares, gifts, decor, and more. I was mostly interested in and impressed with their plant holders/pots, local and mindful infant toys, care packages for new mothers, dinnerware, wall decor, and other pretty little things made by local artists. I thought the prices were very reasonably considering the items were mindfully curated and mostly locally sourced. I really look forward to coming back and shopping here once we get settled in our new home. The friendly employee (or maybe owner??) said that they rotate their inventory often. He also said that they don't have a ton of local clout (hence me neglecting them this whole time), so stop in and tell them you saw them on Yelp!"

The items they carry vary seasonally and is there really fun stuff, they merchandise it in a great way that helps you envision it in your own home or cabin. (It's not just home decor...LOTS of great things for yourself and to buy as gifts). I highly recommend Modern Barnyard and a great way to support local."

Michele B. "Cute shop! Though I love the Independence, MN, location better because it's in an old creamery building out in the country so it's bigger with more nooks and crannies to explore. This spot is a nice fix closer to home with super cute home decor made out of found objects and antiques. I found most of their prices spendy, but I am more of a do-it-yourselfer/ crafty type. I still found lots of great ideas! I even bought an old pill bottle and have a list of a few other items I will go back to get, budget willing. My Mom got a peony type flower made out of old sewing patterns! Super cute! Our other fave ideas were old coffee carafes as planters and Ball jars painted metallic! They also have the old-fashioned milk paints for sale or for classes which antique wood nicely. Definitely check this store out!"

Put the birdseed out right away and the birds LOVE it! Bought two different types of mixes - both are high quality with seeds that the birds want to eat. The dogs also are enjoying their dog bones. The minute I take the bag out and open it up, all four dogs are sitting around me waiting for their treat! We will be back again for more bird seed and dog bones!"

Rick Z. "My Minneapolis friend brought me here to ensure that I would go home with some cute trinkets/souvenirs made by local artisans. (I love supporting small business owners/artists, as I am one myself.) The shop itself is not very large, but there's a decent selection of cute stuff that, for the most part, is thematically congruent with the Minnesota/Minneapolis experience. I couldn't resist a glittery ornament depicting the spoon and cherry statue (if you know, you know!). You'll find things like t-shirts, kitchen towels, wooden spoons/spatulas, chocolate, soaps, wooden art blocks, coasters, puzzles, jewelry, baby clothes, coasters, keychains, postcards, stickers, etc. I am uncertain how much or how often stock changes. Prices were pretty reasonable, considering-- obviously more than cheap junk from China would cost, but also more unique and special!"

Lisa L. "Home & Beyond is located on the first floor of Eden Prairie Center not far away from Barnes & Noble. I have spent more money here than I care to admit. They sell all sorts of home decor, glasses, funny napkins, purses and more. What draws my money from my wallet is their ever changing wide variety go Blue Q socks. If you are unfamiliar with what that is I urge you to please go in and find out for yourself. Fine, I will tell you. Blue Q sells a line of socks on bright colors with funny sayings on them. Many of those funny sayings include the "F" word so if you are easily offended you should stay way from that corner of store and I feel bad for you. While I never need any assistance while there I have noticed that the staff either completely ignores you or talks to you way too much. That can be good or bad either way.Anyways, check them out and while you are there spend too much on a pair of socks that have the word bitch (or naughtier) on them!"

Chelsy M. "This little shop is super cute! It's very small but set up nicely. The pricing is decent for a boutique and I even thought a few things were on the lower end. I love that a lot of the stuff is handmade by Minnesota vendors. The reason I had to mark down a star is because the staff person working was very quiet as if she didn't care or was just very shy. I was the only person in the store and she did acknowledge me when entering but then didn't even look at me the rest of the time until I checked out. It's hard to describe but I wasn't impressed nor disappointed. It's a cute place and they have some good finds but I don't feel the need to visit often."

I find myself making the trek from the west side at least once a year, usually for the holidays, and always find a few clever stocking stuffers and small gifts for family and friends. The also sell hand made jewelry and women's clothing along with toys, and hundreds of carefully chosen items in a wide variety of prices. You can easily spend 30 minutes or more browsing the collection as it is a bit of a treasure hunt with the large amount of items displayed in little clusters of shelves around the modest sized store.Parking on the street can be tight but if you are a bit patient, you can find a spot."

One thing that was a bit disappointing on my last visit here was that when they closed at 10 pm, they practically shoved us out the door at 10:01, and locked the doors behind us! I was thinking it would have been nice if they let us finish our ice cream, but we had to finish it outside, in the dark, as they turned off all of the outside lights. Other than being rushed through our ice cream, we enjoyed our visit to the Lake Country Cones!"
