What is it about Linden Hills?

Back in 1995, my husband, daughter, and I were planning a move to Minneapolis from Toronto, Canada.

My mother-in-law drove us around to different neighborhoods; the minute we drove through Linden Hills, I knew that was a place I wanted to be.

Mature trees, pretty parks, proximity to two lakes, varied housing stock, quaint shops and eateries—Linden Hills is an easy place to love.

I eventually became a Linden Hills business owner and got to know the area in a whole new way. As I helped plan events and happenings for the business association, I so enjoyed the camaraderie with my fellow business owners. It was much more fulfilling than my former life in corporate America.

And I loved meeting my customers too, many of whom have become friends—the spirit of goodwill flows in “the Hills”.

It’s an especially exciting time in to be a business owner in Linden Hills these days. New neighbor businesses have moved in and opened—although we are all still wondering what/who will move in on the corner of Upton and 43rd!

A delicious tradition It’s easy to find Coffee and Tea Limited nestled amongst the other storefronts in Linden Hills. Just follow your nose. Their antique gas-fired roaster has been crafting tasteful delights since the 1970s. From the crackling of the beans to the clicking of the leather drive belt, your senses will revel in the sounds and scents that only finely roasted, hand-selected coffee beans can provide.

Back in the early 70s, owner Jim Cone got his start buying good coffee in Berkley California while on business trips for his employer, bringing it home to brew for his own enjoyment.

His keen interest developed and the first Coffee & Tea opened in Deephaven MN in 1976 (now closed) and the second on Grand Ave in St Paul (also closed). Jim now has his current Linden Hills location (opened spring of 1979), a Coffee & Tea outpost in the Sears at Mall of America, and a busy mail order business too.

Jim takes pride in sourcing beans from around the globe while building relationships with growers and brokers alike. He has seen many changes in the coffee industry too. “I’ve been in this business since before there was StarBucks. There are more good coffees, more types of good coffee, new coffee hybrids, Fair Trade Certified beans—I see something new every week,” says Jim.

In addition to some 120 different coffees, Jim also carries over 100 varieties of the world’s finest loose leaf teas of all kinds: green, black, oolong, and herbal infusions. Purchasing teas in smaller quantities is the secret to providing the freshest selection in the city.

Regular visitors know that Jim loves dogs (especially Rhodesian Ridgebacks) at least as much as he loves coffee. He currently has six rescue dogs, the youngest of which is 10 years old! They enjoy life on Jim’s two acres near Lakeville, where they have the run of the house and a large exercise area outside. All tips at Coffee & Tea go to various animal rescue organizations.

Every morning, Jim has two or three cups of coffee at home, usually each a different kind, sipped while taking care of his dogs. He has maybe one additional cup later at the shop but he is usually too busy to linger over a coffee. Now in his later 70s, Jim has no plans to retire. “Why would I do that?” he laughingly exclaims. Jim works 8 to 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Committed to the community As you watched Bremer Bank enter the neighborhood you may have found yourself wondering about the location. Can I visit with the team to discuss options for my banking needs? I heard it has space available for the community, is that true? The answer to these questions is yes!

The location in Linden Hills doesn’t manage cash nor does it hold “typical” business hours. The bankers focus on building relationships, making a commitment to the Linden Hills community, and connecting with our neighbors. Their space is your space – for community events; business or neighborhood gatherings; discussing options for your banking needs; just stopping in for coffee or lemonade. The team will often be out and about in the neighborhood, so call ahead or send an email if you plan to visit to ensure someone is here to greet you!

For 75 years, Bremer has served businesses, nonprofit organizations, individuals and families throughout Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin. They want to get to know you and find ways to make a difference in the community!

Restoring health and vitality A traumatic doctor visit at age 5 made a big impression on Liz Gingrey— she decided then that when she grew up, she would be a doctor that children liked going to. After completing her schooling, Dr Liz teamed up with fellow chiropractor and best friend Susan Quigley to open SuNu. Sanskrit for “new beginnings”, SuNu is a wellness center for families, offering a comprehensive menu of chiropractic care for all ages, including pre-natal, post-natal, pediatric, massage therapy and other bodywork, acupuncture, and nutritional supplementation. Located in a refurbished house, SuNu’s offices are warm, welcoming, and filled with gentle light.

Here Liz has brought together a team of healing professionals working together to restore health and energy to clients. No matter what you’ve experienced in the world of health care, SuNu offers a fresh start for you to achieve your wellness goals.

Having grown up in a small town in North Dakota, Dr. Liz feels at home in Linden Hills, with its small town vibe within a big city. And she loves her work! “I find the immediacy so rewarding—I see people feeling visibly better from their very first appointment”, says Liz. “And long term, the improvements to their overall health can be quite amazing!”

Something old, something new Part of the charm of Linden Hills is the mix of newer structures as well as original buildings built many years ago. Just at the north edge of “town” you’ll find the 4250 Building, which was originally constructed as a mix of living and manufacturing space just after the turn of the 20th century.

New Gild’s commitment to comfortable and in-depth customer service is apparent in everything they do, including full custom wedding jewelry--in fact, you’ll be able to find their gorgeous boutique by the wedding dress in their tastefully appointed and gilded front window.

The original occupants were confectioners making candy that they sold at a neighboring shop, while living at the 4250 address. Over the years, tenants included another candy maker, Betty’s Art Craft Beauty Shop, and a shoe repair, and a framing store before more recently housing an Edward Jones location.

Upstairs, you’ll find Linden Hills Law Office, the practice of Minnesota native Thomas Eastman. Thomas has a broad practice area, focusing on both small business needs and wills and estate planning. Thomas also serves as a legal advisor to the Linden Hills Business Association.

Currently, the street level space is home to New Gild Jewelers, a team of two local artists and their employees, making full custom jewelry onsite in addition to curating a gallery of fine art jewelry pieces by over a dozen Minnesota artists. Owners Jen and Kelsey will ensure that your jewelry pieces are created and cared for with passion and expertise.

Also upstairs is Annie Marie Photography, where Annie snaps away in her sunny porch studio. She focuses on finding and documenting the beautiful in the everyday, and will ensure that your images will forever preserve your most precious moments.

Some of their favorite projects are restyles, using inherited pieces, unworn fine jewelry, even single earrings. From those objects, a new piece is designed and crafted to fit the client’s current aesthetic and lifestyle.

Unbeatable service The first thing you notice when walking into Mint Orthodontics is that it looks almost nothing like a traditional dentist office. The surroundings are open, airy, and modern, as a way of countering the instinctive nervousness many feel going to get their teeth fixed.

All of the procedures at Mint are designed to make the experience easy, fun, and not at all like a traditional doctor’s office. Instead of having to fill out pages of paperwork, the staff gathers all of the necessary information over the phone or during the consultation. Appointments are scheduled so there is almost no wait time; if there does happen to be an unforeseen wait, the office will call to let you know, before you arrive. Dr. Sudit and his staff also prioritize complete transparency with their patients, ensuring patient comfort and understanding of their treatment plan. They even have a fully stocked snack bar for their patients to enjoy.

Owner Geoff Sudit grew up in Minnetonka and actually went to high school with the wife of one of the owners of the new Linden 43 building at the corner of Upton and 43rd.

So, when Geoff was ready to open his own practice, it was a happy coincidence that he didn’t have to look far to find the perfect spot in Linden Hills. And here is another interesting tidbit - from 1942 to 1950, Geoff’s great grandfather (whom

Geoff is named for) owned Stillman’s, a food store at 2814 W 43rd St in the building that is now Dunn Bros and Naviya’s Thai Brasserie—right next door to Mint Orthodontics current location! Geoff grew up hearing stories from his grandma Phyllis about going to school a few blocks from the store and helping out behind the register after classes were done. With memories like that, Geoff is thrilled to bring his family back into the community.

Though Mint Orthodontics looks and feels like a luxury, Dr. Sudit believes that orthodontics shouldn’t be priced as a luxury for the elite. His prices are reasonable and he has very flexible, no interest payment plans. He strives for complete honesty with his patients, differentiating what is necessary for dental health and what is cosmetic. He welcomes both children and adults in his practice, where the length of treatment can range from two months to two years. And there are lots of different ways to achieve the desired results in Orthodontics, from traditional metal or clear ceramic braces to Invisalign, which offers gradual correction using a series of clear aligners.

A full-throttle art experience What happens when passion for art and artists collides with the inspiration, creativity, and pure joy of two grandsons? The result was the birth of Everett & Charlie, a gallery where art meets experience.

Owner Suzie Marty is passionate about all forms of art, and the artists who create it. Everett & Charlie is a special place to experience and learn about art and meet the artists.

The Gallery will feature paintings, screen-printing, pottery, glass, jewelry, textiles and leather, sculpture, and woodwork, including hand-made guitars, and will have a calendar of openings, trunk shows, artists’ talks and workshops, demonstrations and live music – even an occasional intimate dinner party with artists!

Retirement beckons You may remember Kathryn Lundquist from the Linden Hills Co-op, where she worked for 38 years, retiring in 2014. A tiny whirlwind of a woman, Kathryn has owned and operated On the Spot Services for over ten years. As a registered nurse, she provides invaluable services to her clients, many of whom reside in Linden Hills. Kathryn’s background includes holistic health, hospice care, assisted living, and long term care.

Thriving on variety, she augments her nursing services for her clients in all kinds of ways: pet care, errands, and driving a daily airport shuttle, keeping the home fires burning when a family member is ill or just too busy to cope. And Kathryn’s rates are way below other providers—it’s her way of giving back to our community.

But all good things come to an end at some point; Kathryn has announced that she will be retiring from her business this summer of 2018. There is still time to call her for help but do so soon! And even after retirement, Kathryn will be around, helping with a blood drive this fall, among other things. That’s good because in so many ways, Kathryn is Linden Hills.

Taking care When it comes to banking, there are a few things that make sense.

Gateway Bank, which was started in 2004, operates with three core beliefs: outstanding client service, strong client relationships and an excellent work environment.

This locally owned community bank started with a single branch location in Mendota Heights before opening a new branch at 4530 France Avenue South in Edina in July 2017.

The strategic vision of Gateway Bank is simple: take care of their associates, take care of their clients, and take care of their community.

They are a leader in residential and commercial lending and provide full service banking at both locations, including drive-up tellers and ATMs. When you bank with Gateway, you do business with highly-skilled, hardworking, knowledgeable professionals who make client service a reality.

Style specialists Proud to be named “Best Optical Shop” by Minneapolis/St. Paul Magazine, Owl Optical is quickly becoming known as style specialists with a unique flair for fashion and an obsession with bringing the world’s best eyeglasses to Minneapolis.

Unlike larger optical chains, Chris and Julie, the husband and wife team who own Owl Optical are also determined to bring old-fashioned service to the high-fashion world of eyewear. Their goal is to help you find your eyeglass “soulmate” so both you and your glasses can live happily ever after.

Your face is uniquely yours, and if you haven’t found your perfect eyeglasses, there’s no need to settle for less than the best any longer. Chris and Julie personally promise to do everything in their power to help you find the perfect pair that reflects your personal style, as well as help with eyewear emergencies. In addition to personal style assistance, you’ll find complete eye exams on site and a full range of eyeglass and optometrist services.

Chris adds “We want this to be a family shop that serves generations, the way old-fashioned spectacle shops in Minneapolis used to be.” Stop in today and be “seen” by Chris and Julie.

Turning houses into homes When you’re looking for a place to call home, it’s essential to have someone who knows the neighborhood. Larry LaVercombe at Lakes Area Realty has been placing your neighbors in their dream homes for over twenty years. But Larry is so much more than a neighborhood realtor, he is a part of the Linden Hills community. He has been the chair of the Linden Hills Zoning Committee, coached Little League, and chaired the Democratic party precinct. Larry’s website LindenHills.com serves as a booster to all things local. To say Larry knows Linden Hills is an understatement.

When it comes to buying or selling your beloved home, Larry says, “Two good realtors will usually broker a ‘fair’ sale. If you don’t have a good realtor on your side, you will be outplayed.” He adds “A good realtor will hold fairness as a virtue and will also be skilled at selling and determining value.”

“Your home is the investment that affects your whole life – with it you create family, connection, and future.”

Give Larry a call and begin your future today.
