To all the idiots writing bad reviews: I'm not sure what kind of daydream 'everything hurts my feelings' world you live in but my advice is to have some respect.
If you think this is a daycare, it's not. Don't let your kids play with expensive antiques you can't afford to buy when your unsupervised child breaks it. Be a better parent. These things belong to the owner and are not to be pawed at. This isn't a toy store or jungle gym. This is a store with merchandise that may be old and/or fragile.
If you're going to remove signs that say 'don't touch' in order to play with items, you SHOULD get yelled at. Don't touch things you have no intention of purchasing. Teenagers aren't paying thousands of dollars for anything, period.
I thought the owner was friggin awesome! I can tell he yells at people that deserve it. And rightfully so. He was definitely not rude to us, probably because we weren't A-holes. He let me go through cabinets myself, didn't rush us, went through inventory he thought we might be interested in, joked with us, and he even gave me a deal on medicine bottles without me asking! I can't wait to visit his other shops in MN. I'd give more than five stars if I could. We had a great time looking around for over an hour. I will be...
Read moreHurry. Stop what your doing and stop here!!!! We are camping nearby from the twin cities and spent the day at Lake Wazee. My son was determined to find crystals at the beach for me as I’m a huge crystal lover but he didn’t find any lol and was bummed so I looked out of curiosity to see if BRF had any crystal places. I didn’t think there would be any nearby so I was shocked to find this place. Being it was almost 5 (closing time for today) we jumped out of the lake and packed up. I was thinking since it’s an antique store there would be hardly any crystals so I was so excited to see they had a HUGE selection of crystals from all different price points. Whether you’re huge into crystals or just like them because they are pretty you have to stop here. Beautiful selection of wonderful crystals. My son and I each found 2 we love and we are so happy. Even if you’re not a crystal lover this store is a must stop as they do have a bunch of fun antiques that make you reminisce about your childhood (I’m not that old LOL) or remind you of your grandparents. Fun store and we will be back next year during our annual jellystone trip!! Also, the bald bearded guy was SO nice. So patient and so friendly. Definitely a...
Read moreHad a pleasant experience here in 2021. Was looking forward to a new visit. This is how it went. 7/10/23. Will not be returning. Wasn’t open an hour after opening time so we waited around and did other things in the area. Came back. Walk in the door and see a CD jukebox player. There was a sign he was selling on it so we picked it up to look. We were reading what the mechanics of the machine said behind it. Potentially interested in buying. The store owner comes up to us me (19 female) and my cousin (15 male) and starts cussing us out. Not to touch, don’t f with it. More than once in a loud tone used profanity at us. There was no sign saying not to touch. We calmly asked him not to use that language and he yelled “it’s my store and if you don’t like it you can leave.” We explained we’ve been here before and paying customers. But he lost it. So we left. In a small town word travels. And apparently he’s rude in general. We did not get customer service here. Pictures outside are fun, but...
