“Feels like a natural history museum where (almost) everything is for sale. Unique, beautiful, and fascinating finds at surprisingly accessible prices. The store is always evolving, with new stuff coming in, making every visit fresh and exciting. Yes, I work there but it’s my favorite place so just let me gush about it okay :) <3
Pro Tip- Park in the Wells Fargo bank lot- that branch has been closed for some time so it’s free and easy to park there if you’re visiting the shop!”
“I've been looking for a credenza for media in the living room for months and MAD had several wonderful options that I could be sure were high quality and well restored. Doug was super friendly and easy to work with and even delivered this enormous piece of furniture to my second floor condo! I'm so happy with how this completes my space and will return to MAD for other piece I want to invest in for the long term.”

Used Vintage And Consignment
“Most professional and reliable tailoring in Minneapolis. I've been using sewbiz for a decade and have always received the best tailoring for suits and casual clothing.”
“Pretty cool place. Some creepy old dolls in vintage woven baskets and some creaky basement. Overall wonderful place to go to with lots of stuff. Owners were cool and had having fun with their buddies so it was good ?”
“I was a little hesitant to check out Classy Consignments due to some of the negative reviews. However, my wedding party and I had a great experience! We were the only ones in the store while I tried on wedding dresses. There were hundreds of dresses to choose from. We found my wedding dress, a veil and a mother of the bride dress all in about an hour and a half. My dress still had the tags on it and my savings was over $400. There was also a 10% off discount for the week on all our items. I would recommend checking this place out if you need a dress for any occasion!”
“I'm new to consignment shopping, but just 2 trips here, and I am completely hooked!! The VIBE in this place!! So. Much. FUN!! The gals working are so friendly and helpful and it is obvious that they love their work here. I will be back again, and again, and again!!! ❤️”
“Cool selection of items, I like to get jewelry and jackets here usually or just wander around and look at stuff. Usually a bit out of my price range when it comes to clothes. A lot of non-vintage items (especially accessories) but not a big turn off for me.”
“Fabulous vintage store with beautiful clothes and jewelry! The staff and owner are knowledgeable, welcoming and treat you like a friend. I highly recommend The Golden Pearl.”
“Great place to find that rare item you didn't know you needed or couldn't find other places. Everything from jewelry, art, sterling, furniture, etc. With items always making their way out and new items coming in, this is a fun shop to check out when in the area. Staff is friendly and helpful, parking lot available out front.”
“Love this spot! I usually purchase things off of their Instagram for pick up. The staff are so kind and are always cheerful when I stop in. The selection is definitely well thought-out and well-priced. You're able to get great clothes at fabulous prices.”
“Good prices, good finds, occasional rare items. Always a good selection of clothes. Don't miss half off on a particular color, where I cannot pass up picking up a book or two each time shopping.”
“Talk about a hole in the wall, a hidden gem, or a diamond in the rough! I love thrifting and checking out all the places to do so when visiting a new town. If I were to come back to the twin cities, I would be sure to stop into the Cat and the Cobra! Locating the store was a little harder than anticipated. It is in the back of the parking lot behind the locked door, but it is the first door inside the building. Not to mention the cool vibes and architecture of the building. I highly recommend walking around and checking it out. There was an amazing selection of any article of clothing you were looking for. I would say the majority of the items were typically priced. Some articles hanging were a little overpriced, but the best part was the bins in the back of the store! I found two shirts in the bins that were $5 each! It was a STEAL of a deal for vintage t-shirts in the condition they were in. I got one ESPN shirt and a Strigus 2006 shirt. Not to mention how fun it is to shift through bins to find those hidden gems of shirts. In addition to a more expensive rainforest cafe t-shirt that was hanging on the walls of shirts. Overall, the service, selection, and value of the store and its articles were top-tier for vintage thrift! I highly recommend stopping in!”
“They really get a great variety of things to browse through. Housewares are very reasonable, clothes and furniture seem a little high to me. Great place to go when you don't know what you "need" but a little retail therapy is in order!”
“Great selection! Some of the reviewers here clearly don’t know the effort that goes into not just being a shop, but also PRIMARILY a safe space for many women to gather. Me being a customer comes secondarily to me financially supporting this space.”
“Great shop, always looking for local Minnesota items when I visit the state. Born and raised in the Duluth area living in Maine. If I was driving back to Maine I would of got a neon piece, prices are very fair compared to east coast neon prices. Very happy with items purchased. This place will be a regular stop for me in my future visits to the area. Hopefully get a neon sign!!! Looking forward to seeing your Auction items”
“this truly is a hidden gem! they were very kind & helpful in helping me pick out a ring for my fiancé. the jewely selection is soo tasteful! lots of vintage/ antique pieces which is what i was looking for. they had plenty of options within my budget and did not pressure me to spend more than planned.”
“Great place with great and friendly people. I brought my nanny boy in bc he wanted to try a trade-up challenge and Edder was very helpful, kind, and didn't talk down to him bc he was a 10 year old. He left there on cloud 9 and talked about how he can't wait to go back there.”
“Good store for cheaper kids clothes/toys. Their staff is good to work with as well, highly recommend this location. Props to the manager for keeping good team members”
“I stumbled across this store searching for a place for clothes in mounds view area. I seen the awesome low discounted prices on items a d I feel in love ❤️!! Been there twice in less than a month... Lbss”
“Love this store!! Staff is friendly and helpful even when it’s busy, and I’m always able to get everything I need- they always have a great selection of clothes and shoes ! I was able to find small boots for my kiddo and an awesome snowsuit!”
“You won’t waste your time with what they’ve selected! I’m a Pilates girl and loved their Lulu and Athleta assortment. Everything is in 10/10 condition you don’t have to worry about pilling old finds as I usually see at Plato’s Closet. A huge shout out to Sophie who assisted me with selling and also purchasing a few pieces, very courteous and helpful!!”
“Mireya was so helpful, as a man, I often find it hard to find styles in certain stores but she was very kind and encouraging to find something that really fits. Definitely will not regret my purchase !”
“Hit or miss for buying - my daughter’s size (2t) is typically picked over/not much inventory. There’s seems to be much for 18 months and younger and 4t and older. HOWEVER, I brought a bin in today not thinking I would get much $$/taken, and over half my bin was taken! Pleasantly surprised! I think the trick was, I made sure to double check for any stains/rips etc, and sorted via size as well as clothing type (sets, dresses, long sleeves, pants etc). One thing I noticed is that most of the stuff that was not taken were things from Amazon that had Chinese sizing, so I will have to remember that for next time. I think the quality was good, and they sell clothes with Chinese sizing. Don’t really have complaints!”
“Dangerous and delightful! :) I absolutely love GH2 for a variety of reasons!! First of all the hunt and thrill of surprise. Because it is a slightly used second hand store you never know what your going to find, which designer, what year, what style. Its a thrill finding both new and modern, and classic and vintage. I'll get lost for hours in this shop, even though its organized, clean, friendly, and not overwhelming. I love the fact (and maybe it just helps me feel better about shopping) that I'm repurposing, re-wearing quality clothing and not having it go to waste. Prices range from high high end to affordable. But the best thing is its uniqueness. I am one who wants to get something one of a kind, different, show stopping, that only I will be wearing, and this is where I go. Because of its non conventional inventory, you get unique pieces not otherwise found in Minneapolis which allows you to stand out in the best way having those pieces no one else will. Everything I purchase from GH2 I get constant compliments on, feel regal in designer thats affordable to me, and know I will be the only one in it that evening. Styles range from classic to funky, from vintage to futuristic, from Americana to Parisian, young to wise, casual basics to ball gowns. They have shoes, accessories, scarves, winter ware, bags. You just never know what will be on those racks ready for you to discover. If you're seeking something special don't be afraid to ask. Thats how they showed me my favorite satin ball gown skirt. They also BUY! I haven't myself sold anything to them but know that they do take in and purchase designer clothing off hand. So thats that, if you're looking for unique, one-of-kind, affordable designer, pieces to add to your wardrobe, go on the hunt here at GH2. Good luck, you're going look stunning :)”
“Great home finds at great prices ? I can understand how the hours may seem frustrating to some people but please check their Facebook and website instead of relying on Google. They always post it there! And also previews of what they will have which is helpful. This place has become a staple in decorating my home ?”
“I really enjoy shopping at the Salvation Army Thrift Store! They have some great vintage finds if you take the time to look. I also love their weekly discounts—children's clothing is half off on Tuesdays, and students get 25% off on Thursdays. Plus, they have a good selection of household items at reasonable prices. Always worth a visit if you're hunting for unique treasures or shopping on a budget.”
“one of the best buffalos i've been to across different cities! great selection with adorable vintage pieces among the trendy clothing. employee also offered to hang up my items when i had a million in my arms :') my twenty-something friends and i have different tastes and we all left happily with something”
“A little something for everyone that brings back childhood memories, from clothes and nicknacks to toys and games. With antiques and vintage to holidays and Disney, over 60 vendors each uniquely showcased, in an indoor market experience.”
