The Best Baby Clothing Stores in the Twin Cities
Let’s talk baby clothes! I absolutely loved shopping for baby and toddler clothes when my girls were little. There is nothing better than finding cute sundresses for summer or little jumpers and rompers with a matching hat that make your baby look oh so stylish cruising around in a stroller. Lucky for us, the Twin Cities is filled with some of the cutest baby boutiques and clothing stores around! Here is a comprehensive of some of my favorites. From boutiques to amazing baby consignment shops, you can find options to splurge or adorable finds on a budget.
Twin Cities Baby Boutiques
The first Pacifier was opened in March 2004 in Northeast Minneapolis. From there they have grown to serving families and friends in Edina, Highland Park, Wayzata, and Woodbury and our original Northeast store hopped across the Mississippi to the North Loop neighborhood. The shop has everything from beautiful clothing to everything you could need for baby from books, to swaddles, to clothes for big brother and sister, too! Pacifier locations are great because there are so many other shops and cafes all around them so you can make a trip to the boutique part of a fun day out exploring!
