Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café brings a fresh blend of charm, flavor, and craft to the Galleria dining scene. Known for its elevated crêpes, vibrant atmosphere, and globally inspired menu, it’s a place where guests can savor something special any time of day. We connected with CEO Dustin Wetzel of the Tenacity Restaurant Group to learn how their search for a standout concept led them to Sweet Paris and why they knew it was the perfect fit for Minnesota. Their passion for quality, hospitality, and thoughtful partnership is helping bring this beloved brand to life right here in Edina. What can guests expect from Sweet Paris’ new Galleria location? We aim to usher our guests away from their daily hustle and bustle and transport them to a unique and delectable dining experience; no passport needed. Greeted by chic patios, airy interiors, and lively beats, our guests relish in the atmosphere even before menu browsing.
Do you have any menu items or drinks that are local favorites? Since opening in Minnesota, our top local favorite has been the "Apple Cinnamon Crème Brûlée Crêpe"—torched vanilla cream with caramelized apples, dulce de leche, and cinnamon. Another standout is "The Minnesotan," filled with mozzarella, bacon, sausage, otatoes, scrambled eggs, and fresh jalapeños.
What makes your crêpes and café offerings unique? While some may see crêpes as simple, we aim to elevate them with fresh ingredients, unique flavor profiles, and a celebratory atmosphere. From breakfast to dinner—brunch to late-night dessert—we’re committed to serving delicious food paired with genuine, outstanding hospitality.
What excites you most about joining the Galleria? The Galleria’s motto, "Inspired by the Uncommon," immediately resonated with us. At Sweet Paris, our mission is to revive the art of eating crêpes, and we knew the partnership was a natural fit. With its upscale shopping, sophisticated atmosphere, and diverse dining scene, the Galleria—and the Edina community—feel like the perfect home for Sweet Paris.

Kowalski's Markets Kowalski’s Markets at Southdale Center is where Edina comes to savor something special. With chef-crafted meals, exceptional service, and a marketplace full of fresh, highquality ingredients and local favorites, every visit feels like an elevated culinary adventure. We chatted with Store Manager Ryan Wojciak to learn what makes this store stand out—read his insights below! What makes the Edina Kowalski’s a special place to shop? Kowalski’s is a local family-owned Minnesota Grocer going on 40+ years starting with our Grand Ave Location in 1983. Over the years we have fostered numerous relationships with local and specialty food producers to bring our customers a variety and quality of foods not easily found elsewhere. Can you tell us about some favorite items made right in-store? A few of my favorites are the cinnamon morning rolls in the bakery-they are the perfect pairing for a cup of coffee in the morning. As far as steaks go, our Akaushi New York strip steaks are my favorite. High in unsaturated fat, they have a light clean flavor with a tender moist bite that is unmatched by most steaks you would find even at a premium steak house. How do you create the fresh and ready-made foods customers love? A lot of our most popular
items are made right in-store by our bakers, butchers, and deli team. We still bake our own bread and cookies, cut our own steaks, grind our own burgers, and make our sandwiches fresh every day. How does Kowalski’s connect with and support local makers? Our team is constantly out in the world—locally, nationally, even internationally—discovering amazing new products and makers. Thanks to the relationships we’ve built, we’re constantly discovering exciting local creators and unique finds you won’t see anywhere else. What’s one thing first-time shoppers shouldn’t miss at your Edina store? Don’t leave without trying our made-to-order burger bar in the deli! Akaushi burgers, grilled just how you like them, piled high with your favorite toppings, and served with freshmade fries!

Kowalski’s Pizzeria Pezzo is all about honoring the great pizza traditions of Italy, New York, and Chicago while giving guests an experience that feels both handcrafted and heartfelt. Every dish is made in their true “fromscratch” style — from house-made mozzarella and fresh-daily dough to sauces crafted with locally sourced and organic ingredients. It’s pizza created pezzo per pezzo (piece by piece), with an attention to detail you can taste in every bite. The restaurant was originally inspired by the passion of Chef Gary Bougie, whose lifelong love for creating the perfect pizza shaped the earliest days of Pezzo. After his passing, the vision was carried forward by his wife, Keri Bougie, along with culinary director Mac Morrison. Together, they’ve continued building a warm, welcoming, family-oriented dining experience rooted in tradition, quality, and community. Today, Pezzo remains a place where guests can gather to enjoy coalfired and deep-dish pies, fresh salads, pastas, and Italian-inspired appetizers.For those who want to bring that same Pezzo flavor home, guests can also find and enjoy their signature pizzas at Edina’s Kowalski’s Markets.

The Dripbar The DRIPBaR is Edina’s go-to spot for feeling revived and refreshed. With IV therapies, wellness injections, and science-backed services designed to elevate everyday wellbeing, it’s a destination where self-care meets real results. Owner Stacy Lemmer shares more about the mission behind The DRIPBaR in the Q&A below! What is IV Vitamin Therapy? IV vitamin therapy is a modern approach to wellness that infuses your body with a precise mix of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants through a gentle IV drip. It works at the cellular level to fuel your body from the inside out — boosting energy, fortifying immunity, enhancing recovery, and supporting healthy aging. What surprises people about IV therapy, and how does it help them feel their best? Many people are surprised to learn that IV therapy isn’t just for when you’re sick or dehydrated — it’s a powerful tool for proactive wellness. By correcting vitamin and mineral deficiencies that contribute to fatigue, inflammation, and weakened immunity, IV treatments support long-term health from the inside out and allow nutrients to be absorbed rapidly through the bloodstream. Clients often leave feeling more hydrated, energized, and focused — refreshed and ready to take on the day.
For those new to IV therapy, how would you describe the experience at The DRIPBaR Edina? Walking into The DRIPBaR Edina feels like stepping into a calm, welcoming wellness lounge. Our team guides you through a quick intake and helps you choose the right vitamin drip, then you’ll settle into a cozy lounge chair while your nurse gently starts your IV so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the experience. Is there a signature drip or service that guests come back for again and again? Our clients love the variety — each visit is tailored to how they’re feeling that day, whether they need to boost energy, strengthen immunity, or support recovery. What inspired you to bring this type of wellness service to the Edina community? Edina has a strong medical community, and people here truly value health, wellness, and anti-aging. I wanted to create a place that proactively complements that mindset.

Studio Pilates International Studio Pilates International is where strength, precision, and community come together. With modern reformerbased workouts, personalized attention, and an energizing studio atmosphere, this boutique fitness destination helps people of all levels feel stronger, more connected, and empowered in their movement. After chatting with Franchisee and Studio Owner Tammy Birlew, we gained an inside look at what makes this studio’s approach so unique—and why it’s quickly becoming a go-to wellness spot for Edina. What makes Studio Pilates International unique from other fitness studios? Studio Pilates pairs its science-backed reformer method with hands-on coaching, using video-guided classes that free instructors to give focused, personalized corrections that truly make a difference. What can new members expect from their first class? New members start with a quick, welcoming orientation that introduces the studio, the custom reformers, and the video-guided format—plus a focused 20-minute workout to get comfortable with the flow. After that, you can jump into any class, thanks to Studio Pilates’ unique, all-levels approach. How does your team help clients reach their fitness goals? Our team supports clients by offering encouragement in every class, guiding them toward studio challenges that boost
both movement and nutrition, and regularly checking in as goals evolve. We’re here to keep each client motivated, supported, and progressing throughout their fitness journey. What do you love most about your new location at 50th & France? The best part of being at 50th & France is the genuine sense of community—warm people, supportive neighboring businesses, and an energy that makes you want to get involved. I’m thrilled to become part of the fabric of this neighborhood and meet even more of the amazing people who make it what it is. How does it feel to be part of so many memorable community moments? Pilates is effective for every fitness level because the reformer’s resistance meets you where you are, offering support or challenge as needed. It builds deep core strength, stability, and full-body control—benefits that translate into everything you do.

Centennial Lakes Park Centennial Lakes Park is where Edina comes to do it all—no matter the season. From paddleboats and lawn games to concerts under the stars and winter ice skating, this local gem offers endless ways to stay active and soak in the city’s charm year-round. We caught up with General Manager Tiffany Bushland to learn more about what makes Centennial Lakes Park such a special place for visitors and locals alike—read on for her insights below! What makes Centennial Lakes Park such a special place for both residents and visitors? Centennial Lakes Park is such a great place for both residents and visitors because there’s something for everyone. The walking trails are always popular, and there are plenty of spots to sit and relax. It’s fun to ice skate in the winter, play the putting course, or catch a concert. One of my favorite things in the summer is the farmer’s market! Whenever I’m out in the park, people just seem happy—it’s truly a place to unwind and enjoy. What activities can guests enjoy throughout the seasons? In spring, summer, and fall, visitors can enjoy the putting course, paddleboats, or even go fishing. There’s also more than 80 concerts each summer! When winter arrives, the lake transforms into a skating rink. No matter the season, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
What’s one thing first-time visitors shouldn’t miss at Centennial Lakes Park? Out of all the cool things in Centennial Lakes Park I think skating takes the cake! It is so awesome to see people outside in the middle of winter enjoying life. If skating is not in the cards for someone, I think a walk around the lake would be a close second! How does it feel to be part of so many memorable community moments? I have the best job in the world because I get to see the impact a park has on people! I see a family bringing their child to skate for the first time, a group of moms walking their newborns, and visitors picking produce from local farmers at the farmer’s market. So many memories are made at Centennial Lakes Park, and I am proud people find joy in getting outside and being a part of the community.
