Sonnen's Pet Shop Saint Paul, Minnesota

Great experience, the owner is very nice and patient. (We didn't have cash, he waited patiently for us) Beautiful birds, fish, pet essentials and knick knacks. I bought two parakeets for my mom's birthday. Definitely coming back.

I love this little shop!

We are always looking for unique little shops that impress us, which is hard to do. This little shop is fantastic! A large assortment of tropical fish at very reasonable prices. Friendly fella that runs it also. We will be returning customers from Eau Claire Wi.

Best pet store I've been to. Great for tropical fish and birds. Sonnen is very friendly and knowledgeable. Decent prices as well.

Great little shop. I'll be back again to support this local small business. And I enjoyed their music, too.

I will never understand how a place like this can stay open. I can't comprehend how closing at 5 pm helps your business. 10-5? Really? I have always put a lot of effort into mom and pop shops whenever I can but I work until 5. Petco it is. So sad

Great prices, healthy fish and plants!

Drove and walked all over St Paul to find this place. We got there at 3pm, two hours before closing, and paid about five bucks for parking. The place was closed. Don't waste your time driving and paying for parking.

Horrible conditions for the birds.

I LOVE THIS STORE! All the fish I need I buy from Dave at sonnens!

This is a little shop of horrors. The birds are kept in totally inhumane conditions in the back of the store. The cages they were kept in were smaller than 12 inches. There was a canary so plucked from overcrowding in a tiny cage that the owner offered him to me for free when I expressed concern. I couldn’t say no and I rescued him, but this place still haunts me. Don’t support this kind of animal care. I called the city and animal control but they can’t do anything as long as there is food and water offered to the birds. So sad. Boycott and tell your friends to too.

The owner of Simon's is very nice old time shop has been there for many many years prices in the shop or outstanding always has great live plants and lots of community fish.

I love this shop... I got my 3 fish 1 loach and a pleco and they are healthy beautiful fish.... The older gentleman is very helpful and kind... I will always get my fish from here....

A wonderful family owned shop with generations worth of knowledge

Very knowledgeable owner, very nice. Great prices.

David is so nice to work with and very knowledgeable. I just got a beautiful pair of shaft tail finches to be neighbors with my lizzard Canary I've had for 5 years... Love them.

I bought budgie food here a couple years ago. I like the friendly cashier and the old time-y feel.

For 4 years I have owned a beautiful canary named Piccolo whose song has layers of depth and tone with highs and lows. The owner was very helpful, kind and professional. I highly recommend this quaint lovely shop.

Came all the way here, Because I LOVE Supporting Small Pet Shops. Closed. :/ Please stay open the hours you SAY your going to open.

Quality fish/birds, and supplies. Extremely knowledgeable owner. This place has been around for a long time for a reason. ????????????????????

After seeing the reviews, I had high hopes for this place. Its right by my office so I went in on my lunch yesterday. There was an older man working who barely acknowledged me. I tried to ask some questions, but he seemed annoyed or anti-social, so I gave up. Fish tanks were covered in algae, especially the plants (which is what I was shopping for). If you want to bring black beard algae into your home tank, then this is the store for you. I did see some dead fish, and the plant selection was very minimal. Overall, I am upset I even paid for parking to go in here, which was a bummer. I will not be going back.

Always clean..Friendly service..And my fish always live forever from here..best ever..

I was told that the little green canary was a wonderful singer. Wonderful is in no way to explain his voice! Heavenly!

Excelent service, the prices are great and the fish healthy

Great little shop with quality fish at great prices. The owner is as knowledgeable and kind as you will ever find. Also, the shop is cash or check only.

I had a great experience at this shop. The owner is very knowledgeable about fish and plants. $1.50 XL Neon Tetras,I will definitely be back!

I have had excellent service every time I'm there. His birds are healthy, beautiful, and I've had very good luck with them. The owner has also gone out of his way to be helpful with services like calling when he gets a shipment of birds if you are interested in a specific species. Going to the Sonnens shop is like taking a step back in time, with all the original service of the old fashioned malt shop. I get all my finches there.

Great prices on quality fish. The owner is very knowledgeable about aquatics and birds. I have been going to Sonnen's since the 70's. Would refer Sonnen's to anyone.

The guy behind the counter is so nice shop is small but great prices an each time I purchase fish I get healthy quality fish has great community tank fish..
