Yelper Megan B. wrote, "I love the Mall of St. Paul! They have a great collection of antiques, with two levels and multiple rooms. They always offer a little treat at the front, too. They have everything from dresses, furniture, plates and records. It's a fun store that I like to go to regularly. ... It's next to two other antique shops, so you can park and see all three for a fun few hours."
