Our Neighborhood
The shops at 38th and Grand have grown and thrived over the years. Here are a few other places to visit when you come to Petersen Flowers.
Victor’s 1959 Cafe
Official Website
Located right next door, Victor’s is celebrating 10 years of bringing great Cuban food to our South Minneapolis neighborhood! Last summer, Guy Fieri from the Food Network’s popular show Diner’s Drive-ins and Dives, visited the cafe and cooked up some “Off the hook Cuban food!” with Niki in the kitchen. They had a blast.

Grand Cafe
Official Website
Grand Cafe is a European neighborhood bakery transformed into neighborhood café, offering classic American and Continental bistro fare. The kitchen utilizes the best local and seasonal product to craft such dishes as house-smoked sausages and Kobe beef brisket, Home-cured duck proscuitto, hand-rolled gnocchi, pasta, crackers and flatbreads. The pantry-to-table approach imbues brunch, lunch and dinner menus with unparalleled freshness, and has garnered critical acclaim – Jeremy Iggers of Minneapolis Star and Tribune touts Grand Cafe’s careful balance between Euro-sophistication and classic Americana as “superb,” Pioneer Press critic Cathy Jenkins remarks that the Grand Café feels like a restaurant you’d find in Berkeley, “a sensibility that carries over to the food,” and Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine’s Andrew Zimmern calls Grand Café “one of the most romantic spots around.

Get your pet groomed at the Groomsmen. Check out this user review:
I’ve taken my dog to The Groomsman a handful of times already, and I have always been so pleased! The price is reasonable (around $35 for my Yorkie), and my dog always comes away looking great. He listens to exactly what I would like done, and follows through beautifully. Even more important, when I pick my dog up, he isn’t stressed out at all. I’d highly recommend The Groomsman!
