“I bought a painting from an estate sale on a local website. It turned out not to be from the artist that the owner had informed Park Lane Estates - Anthony was wonderful about helping correct this error. He was fast on communications. This is definitely an honest company. Thank you!”
“This is the only coin and bullion dealer I will trust to count my coins and give me a good price. I don’t need to watch. He’s honest and pays the best prices in town by far. I have been collecting coins and bullion for years so I know a good dealer. I exclusively use this guy. His shop is worth visiting just for the excelsior memorabilia! Great shop and owner!”
“Super helpful and insightful visit. I thought I had error coins that I wasn't sure the value of, so I went here and found out they're not errors at all! I also found out the silver that I brought with me at least had some value. The I bought two cool one ounce silver coins. 100% Recommend!! H.”
“I love close by and wish I could go here more! The sweetest staff you’ll ever meet, very helpful with questions I had and just general conversation. I felt so welcomed here and love that I can support so many local sellers just by stopping at one shop! Very good selection of vintage kitchen and wall art pieces, as well as a great deal of vintage collectibles. Love love love!”
“Pink Elephant is not only easily the best of the four antique/vintage stores on Main Street in Hopkins, but also is easily one of the best in the Twin Cities.
Not the largest, it's absolutely packed with quality goods. Its collection gets updated often enough it's a treasure hunt every time I go in. Plus the folks that run it are welcoming and fun.”
“Rob gave my 9-year-old son a top notch experience finding cards he was looking for. He listened to all of my son’s questions and went above and beyond to not only answer but help him with his perfect finds for the day. Thank you, Rob!”
“My 99 year old father in law sells his Antique Treasures here almost all the sellers are who are the workers there they each work 2 days per month when selling goods at this store... so if you get a bad experience with a worker mostly they won't be in there the next time if you try them again! Most of the people selling in there are Antiques Themselves! Nice people and caring you can offer them less it never hurts to ask. It's Great they have this place to keep them busy and memories of times gone by”
“My best friend and I were in the shop for the first time on Saturday the 28th of June. It’s cozy place, very nice atmosphere, I found an elephant clock, I love elephants. And my best friend Dana Marie found this book , it has designs on it. Very nice place.”
“The second best of the four Hopkins antique stores and I really like this place. They have an enormous selection (much of which is very high quality) with great hidden finds every time I've visited.
The vendors should take care with the conversations they have in the aisles though. I didn't need to hear the "woe is us" story about how people have realized how to go to the source of vintage clothing to buy direct rather than pay the vendor's flipped pricing. Yes,it means less stock for you to upsell, but if kids these days have figured out how to better pick clean the thrift shops with their limited income, more power to them.”
“I really like this store. To be fair, it is very hard to see everything with the clutter. If you need lamp repair parts they probably have it. Great Scandinavian items too. Lots of books and assorted merchandise. Prices were reasonable and you can negotiate a bit.”
“One of the sleekest vintage stores around. I love shopping here at Christmas for ornaments and once found some stunning paper folding Christmas trees that I can't wait to put out every year. Love love LOVE the blue room. I wish I could afford and find places for it all.”
“This place is a quiet and charming store just a few blocks from Lake Harriet. You can find all kinds of unique and exotic items which possess a spiritual dimension. The staff are wonderful people - generous with time and courteous with direction if asked.”
“This place is honestly amazing. I came in here earlier today with my sister and the worker/owner was so so so kind. She helped us look at vintage cameras and we ended up going home with two of them. I literally cannot wait to come back and get more goodies. If you are looking for good and beautiful vintage and antique jewelry you need to go here. They had some of the best jewelry I had ever seen in an antique store. I will one hundred percent be back and I can’t wait to see what I find next time!”
“Lovely little store, went here after having Pho next door.My sister got a first edition of a book too! So many little treasure and it’s very clean with good prices.”
“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.”
“I love this place I've shopped here for years and Ms.B is the best I always find somthing that I just can't resist and there things are truly unique I'm so glad I can shop here because it's affordable”
“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 ?”
“Well organized and clean, but really only stuff your grandmother would buy.
You might get lucky like I have in the past, but in general their selection tends towards exceedingly old and stuffy (Edwardian is I believe the style). It's all in spectacular shape, but it's well past its prime. I didn't terribly appreciate the dismissive staff; last time we were there we pointed out a mislabeled (it was not the brand it claimed to be) product that was too expensive for it's faux nature and was entirely blown off.
Worth going in, just don't expect to find much.”
“I have bought parts and machines from this place for 8+years. Kevin has helped me out on several slot machine related projects over the years. One of the nicest and most honest in the business!! A++++++++”
