I have always loved this store and try to make a point to shop there at least once a year because they always have really cute posters, stickers and other items. I am very disappointed in how I was treated today. I stepped into the store not realizing that they were just about to close as I saw other customers in there. An employee came up to me as I was looking at stickers and very rudely told me to hurry up and pick something out, pay and leave after she had come close to me and stared at me for several minutes. She told me they were closed, I needed to hurry and leave. As a service worker, I totally understand wanting to leave when you are close but I honestly had no idea they had closed. I started to put away the stuff I was looking at and apologized to which she repeated the same thing again, we are closed, hurry, pay, leave. It was totally unnecessary to treat me this way as I immediately tried to leave when told they were closing. Her overall demeanor and treatment towards me was condescending and aggressive, especially because I tried to leave immediately. That being said, their products are great and I have never had a problem with this before. Hopefully this experience was just a bad day for her.
Lots of unique items and could definitely spend a lot here.
Always cool stuff great ideas for children. And a step in the past looking at the items in the back. Lots of history.
Super cute shop. I bought the greatest necklace here while road tripping through the Midwest. The downtown area where the shop is located is really cute as well.
I love this place. It has a good selection of stuff, and a huge variety, no pun intended. Great witchcraft supplies, I highly recommend
I always make a point of visiting when I come to town. I love the variety of things they carry and always find nice gifts here!
Been in here a few times and all the employees EXCEPT the OWNER are Friendly. SHE IS EXTREMELY RUDE! I thought the first time she was having a bad day but the second time now I know that is how she is. Get a grip! You OWN a store which last time I checked customer service kinda comes with it. I probably won’t be back unless it has something that I need. I gave 3 stars one for each star of the nice employees that work there that have to “deal” with that Karen.
Really awesome place to visit I would recommend be one of your first stops if coming to town
This place is full of unique items that are perfect for gifts.
We were traveling from Wisconsin and so enjoyed the phenomenal variety inside. Great atmosphere! A must visit in Sioux Falls!
Its one of the most unique & Eclectic stores.Reminds of old time Variety Stores& Dont miss the back where they have very old Antique Toys! Its like stepping back in time
This store has a huge selection of items. Its a great place to go when youre looking for gifts! I came here before Christmas to find unique presents for co-workers and was not disappointed.As a side note, when I visited, it was at the height of the pandemic in Sioux Falls. I was concerned about doing any shopping in stores, but needed to get a few things in person. I appreciated that they required all of their customers to wear masks. It shows that they care about the safety of both their staff and the community. While I was visiting a staff member had to politely ask a women to leave who refused to wear a mask and was looking for confrontation. I was very impressed with how he handled it without escalating the situation.
Cool stuff. Tad spendy but not unreasonable.
As soon as you say, This is not a political statement..., you are making a political statement. How disappointed my wife and I were - visiting from Texas - that we could not go into this store because of their mask requirement, irregardless of medical conditions that might prevent someone from wearing said mask. For an establishment like this to fail to be sensitive to those unable to wear masks is offensive and discriminatory. The tone with which this store presents its requirement with their sign is also uncalled for and could have been communicated in a more gentle manner. Instead, it is filled with hostility and divisivess towards people who do not fit into the mask reich.
I love the gift items, but the manager/owner was completely rude. Wow. I won’t be going back. (There are other reviews that say the same.)
Really cool inside. a shopping experience and museum in one.
Stepped back in time to the original variety store! Check out the down stairs in back of store. AWESOME
It was fun crystals and books and all that cool stuff
Zandbroz is such a great store in Downtown Sioux Falls! I especially love their book, occult, and stationary selections. The store is a great size, easy to navigate, and fun to explore. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. If youre looking for a fun gift or something special for yourself, I highly recommend stopping by.Zandbroz is also always very clean, and I appreciate their COVID-19 policies. Definitely makes me feel safer and more comfortable as I stop by!
Eclectic variety of gifts and knick knacks! A fun store to take family and friends to
Ive been going to Zandbroz for years. They have great wacky little trinkets that you never knew existed or needed and a decent selection of books, writing tools, kitchenware, and jewelry to boot. Can always find something to take home or buy as a gift; always worth a stop.
I thought it was just a book store when i was walking by and decided to go in, but color me pleasantly surprised when i discovered their variety of knick knacks, gift opportunities, and just various odds and ends. From fancy shmancy pens to crystals, from funny mugs to antiques, sprinkle in some jams and hot sauces, some candles and puzzles, and throw in the books and you get the gist. Honestly a great place to go have a fun shop around after a couple beers, though you may spend more than you intended. Great selection.
Cool place with lots of interesting vintage stuff in the back. Explore the whole place!
This is always my go-to gift and home decor store! I really can’t say enough good things about Zandbroz Variety! If you are looking for something amazing and unique this is the place. Locally owned and operated by super rad folks! I also truly appreciate their interest in keeping all of their staff and customers safe during a pandemic with their mask policy! I appreciate y’all! 🖤🖤
This store is always my go-to for gifting for all my friends and family (and myself!). The addition this year of the online shopping option was phenomenal. I cant say enough good things about Zandbroz, my entire family always loves to go there. Their products are unique, creative, hilarious, high quality, and thoughtful. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and my experience here is always a positive one!!
Good place to go, good atmosphere and reason to get out.
Was kind of a disappointment from days past, No more soda fountain, it was an amazing place, now it seems as they are just holding on to what little life is left!!!😪
Great variety. So much to look at!
Found book I wanted. Good selections. Knowledgable service, ordered book for me.
I love books and bookstores and they have a great selection of new books and classic books!! Also a great selection of gifts for any type of person. Highly recommend!
I want to thank Zandbroz for caring so much about their patrons that they’ll stand strong in their mask policy, even if some patrons don’t believe in science.Best gift shop in town, hands down. Excellent selection of books, jewelry, and stuff you didn’t know you needed.
Unique and comical stuff to buy.
Zandbroz is full of fun little things. Great for gifts or finding a book to read. You definitely need to go to the back and check out all the history they have displayed in some grand items. Staff are very kind and helpful when asked questions.
I love Zandbroz!! Ive always had a great experience here and I have fun memories coming for ice cream with my dad as a kid when the soda bar was open. Its a great spot for gifts, books, stationary, and much more! The expansion is nicely done and I enjoy looking at the antiques. I also appreciate Zandbroz for asking customers to wear masks during Covid-19 to protect their customers, staff, and the community.
Thay have everything for real even a sizemgraph.😳
I really like this store otherwise but I would be careful with their vintage pens. They are very friendly and willing to help you with them and although they shine the outside of the pens I have bought a couple that were clearly unrestored and one had major tine misalignment problems. I would buy more vintage pens there but they are 2 for 2 with fountain pens that were not fully restored. Their selection of inks is neat and they have a fair amount of modern pens, but for the price the pens should be restored inside and out imo.Edit: I was able to do the repairs on the pens myself but I would urge to double check the pen before buying to make sure it works as expected. I dont think it is an unreasonable ask to be able to test the vintage pens before buying.
Very interesting place! Lots of things to look at, lots of different things to purchase. I loved the antique area, I hope to come back soon!
Lots of fun and intresting stuff.
Zandbroz is my favourite store in Sioux Falls, full of great books, cool furniture, gorgeous jewelry, and more. I never leave without finding something I have to have. And the vintage section? THE BEST. And THANK YOU for your mask requirement. Its places like Zandbroz that care about the health of their customers that make the difference in this fight against COVID and help keep businesses open.
If you havent been, you must go. Zandbroz has the greatest gifts, trinkets, cards, paper products, books and more. Go check it out, youre guaranteed to find more than you thought you needed. Their staff is so friendly and happy to help. Love this store!
Very nice place nice people
Going to Zandbroz is always the best experience. From the window displays, to the merchandise and museum in the back, I love this Sioux Falls gem! I especially love Zandbroz for their mask policy and unapologetic attitude to those who think they are above it. Ive never appreciated this store more. Thanks, Zandbroz!
This place has been a favorite since I was little. Always the best place to shop for unique or meaningful gifts. Thank you for always doing the right thing for the safety of your guests and staff alike!
Fun place, liked the historic section in the back.
Zand bros is my little boutique where I can find very special things, I visit them often and they are very unique.great experience.
I love this store! Full of different things you do not see anywhere else.
Very fun store filled with all sorts of unique items. Be sure to check out the antiques in the back! Also love their no-nonsense approach to the pandemic.
Every trip to Zandbroz is a great experience. They have the most unique and quirky gifts for anybody on your list. The staff is friendly and helpful. Always a delight!
This store is a true find. Has a ton of toys from your childhood and lots of assorted treasures you will not find anywhere.
Always a pleasant environment, friendly staff, and lots of cool stuff!
Always fun to visit and shop!
Lots of interesting things! Definitely worth a stop!
Absolutely love Zandbroz, always my go-to place for gifts for both family and friends of all ages. Selection can’t be beat and their customer service is always stellar. Love their quirky books, decor, and kids toys especially. A true gem of DTSF.
Interesting blend of books, metaphysical stuff, antiques and soap. Oh, and kitchen stuff. Hey! If they dont have is at Zandbroz, you dont need it.
Since they removed my review from their Facebook page, Ill share it here instead.This place is full of maskholes and nasty employees that threaten to kick you out if you arent wearing a face diaper. They must be making tons money if they dont mind turning away customers from their over-priced merchandise. I like to be able to breath while shopping and decided to hit a bookstore around the corner. They were much friendlier and I was happy to spend my money at the book co-op. Ill steer clear from Zandbroz from now on.The owner is clearly rude and incompetent too. The way he responded to a previous customer review is ridiculous. We are not dealing with a global pandemic. It was downgraded long ago to an outbreak. Wake up buddy!!
For over 20 years, Zandbroz has been one of my favorite spots in Sioux Falls. I also GREATLY appreciate the mask policy they maintain for the safety of our community.
Zandboros is a beautiful store with a wonderful atmosphere! They have some of the most interesting gifts for sale, and every time im downtown I like to walk through and take in the store.
I love going in and browsing now and then and I cant leave empty handed! There is such a multitude of unique items. Its a great place to buy an original gift!
Zanbros is such a great place and a covid safe store! Always a large variety of gifts and fun things to look at and/or purchase.
Definitely one of my favorite stores in Sioux Falls, its easy to spend hours browsing. I find the best gifts here, for others and myself!
Zandbroz always has a crazy variety of items and does their best to keep some of their popular products in stock. I love going in to browse to see if I cant find something new that I just NEED to bring home.
Cute shop with great gifts!
Fun place to shop when downtown. Large variety, unique items, great for gifts. Customer service was lacking on my recent visit. Not friendly or welcoming.
Dont miss the antiques and oddities in the far back of the store! Their book selection and fountain pens are worth a visit alone. Love the atmosphere and selection of tchotchkes
Always cool, fun stuff found in this shop. Great books, too.
Though a but pricey for certain things, I love this place and its character. So many unique things and stuff you wouldnt normally shop for, but always neat stuff and I can always find something interesting and walk out with something bought in my hands. Perfect place for unique gifts that people wouldnt normally get, so its always a cool surprise for people.Will always reccomend going here to, at the VERY LEAST, browse through their stuff, but also because of how friendly staff is every single time Im in.Love Zandbroz and love that its local!
Got to talk to the owner who was very kind. Ive been going here for years and the only reason I choose 4 stars is because I miss the soda bar so much :(. Ive come to understand it wasnt working though and it meant the store wouldnt make it if it stayed which is understandable... but adapt and over come yall! Still awesome place and very kind owner!
A store you must stop at in downtown Sioux Falls. Quirky gifts, fountain pens, and books (including from local authors). Always fun to walk through
A top notch novelty store. Its a must stop when in Sioux Falls. Fun and interesting to peruse all the products such as books, games, candle, lotions, air fresheners, jewelry, teas, and so on...they have a great antique resale room in the back!!
So thankful for this store and it’s rad owners. Downtown is so lucky to have a place this cool!
New residents to Sioux Falls. Went exploring on Monday, August 26 and came across this store. Very unfriendly and welcoming. Seemed to be judging customers. We felt uncomfortable and left. Will never return.
An essential part of the downtown core, Zandbroz is almost the only shop in town where Ive gone in looking for a gift and left happily with something I never knew existed. Its always fun to scan the whole store. The shop windows always have creative displays. The book selection is smallish, but well-honed toward the remarkable, so you might not find a popular paperback from a high-volume author, but Ive found books there from award-winning authors that the local Barnes and Noble didnt have. Id also go here first for any book of local or regional interest. I do miss the days of the operating soda fountain.
This is an all time favorite unique little shop. You can find everything from socks to cookbooks, boardgames, house decor, gems and stones, amazing candy, and more. There is always something different to check out. The staff is generally very down to earth and friendly as well.
A very nice store. The atmosphere is great and I enjoyed the variety.I had a nice conversation with a lady originally from New Jersey.The geode i picked up has a nice place on my desk.
A lot of interesting items. Layout is easy to navigate. Staff was helpful.
My favorite place to go in downtown Sioux Falls. They always have quirky, interesting items with a wide price range. Great place to shop for gifts when you dont know what to get for someone. Good selection of books often not carried elsewhere.
The least friendly business in downtown Sioux Falls. We have gone into Zandbroz several times and have NEVER been greeted in any form. 3 employees behind the counter and no one checking out, yet no one bothered to greet potential customers arriving or walked around to see if anyone needed help. Welcome to Downtown Sioux Falls!
You never know what you are going to find at this place which is great! The staff is helpful, and prices are reasonable. I definitely recommend going here if you are looking for a random gift or some different home or room decor.
I absolutely love this store. They have a great selection of easy to find items and a quaint little things that make your life great. I would highly recommend this place!
Best place to get unique gifts!!
Great service. Can always find unique & fun gifts!!
Super neat little store. Didnt have a ton of time there, but its the first place that Ive seen with a solid collection of vintage restored fountain pens. There were so many little bits and baubles there. The employees were patient and helpful as well. I ended up getting a restored pen, havent gotten a chance to test it out yet, but looks to be in good condition.
One of the most unique shops in Sioux Falls by far. Zandbroz actually feels like two different stores when you do a full walkthrough. In the front youll find various odds and ends for the house, a good selection of literature and books, jewelry, quality crafted pens and journals, and a great toys section for kids.Walk further and youll find yourself in a low-lit antique shop with lots of unique local antiques as well as some frequently sought after pieces like beautifully crafted writing desks, bookshelves, typewriters and near anything else you can think of.Cant recommend enough, great staff and service wrap up the package and create a must-see downtown destination.
A neat place to visit. They really do have a variety. A mainstay of main street Sioux falls for many years. Great place to pick up a fountain pen as well.
It is one of my favorite places to visit while downtown, even if Im not shopping for anything in particular! It is an excellent place to checkout and window shop.
Such a cool store, kind of an eclectic atmosphere. Great selection of books, posters, cards, handmade pens, incense and candles plus much more. Fun store in the heart of downtown.
Unique and awesome variety drug store. Amazing holiday window displays. Interesting local antiques in the back.
This place had a bit of everything. Couldnt help but smile when i was there. Still has that old drug store kinda feel to it.
Lots of great things. Enjoyed visiting your shop. Great place for unusual items.
Coolest store on Phillips it’s a must see if you’re in town. You might not buy much but it’s always worth a visit to see what they have, especially with the remodel to see the antiques in the back.
Unique gift shop. Great selection of local authors. Little bit spends but definitely worth the experience.
Love this cute and quirky shop. Great place to find unique gifts.
Vintage and oh so delightful!! One of my favorite places to shop and I can browse for hours. The heart of downtown Sioux Falls... 💕
New display of museum type items for sale. Love the variety of merchandise.
Makes me good to see products of my own interest especially in such a country small town.
