Best Independent Shops in Northeast

The independent shops we send people to in Northeast Minneapolis. Part of our full independent shops guide and the Northeast neighborhood guide.

Glam Doll Donuts

Two locations turning out donuts that look like a mid-century cartoon and taste better than they look. The Bombshell with peanut butter and jelly is a small experience. Open late on weekends.

B.T. McElrath Chocolatier

A small Northeast chocolatier that has been making serious bonbons and bars for over twenty years. The Salty Dog dark-chocolate-and-caramel bar is the introduction. Stocked at most of the city’s good cheese shops if you cannot make it to the Northeast spot.

I Like You

A Northeast shop stocked entirely with goods made by local Minnesota and Wisconsin artists. Ceramics, candles, prints, soaps, and cards that consistently land better than the more-corporate gift-shop equivalents. Best place in town for a thoughtful gift on short notice.

Rewind Vintage

A Johnson Street vintage shop with a tight focus on 70s, 80s, and 90s clothing for men and women. Well-organized racks, fair pricing, and a staff that actually knows the eras they are selling. The rare vintage store where the hunt does not feel like a chore.
