Sankofa Video Books & Café

Didn't pickup any food, to my detriment. But if you wanna wash your body in the rivers of lake Minnetonka and liberate your soul, pop on through. Don't leave the store with books you ain't buy and you can read as you like. 5/5

Love this place!! It’s a great hub for community, books, videos, and a delicious bite to eat. The place has an outside sitting area with several benches, its inside is warm and cozy, and there’s an outside sitting area that’s shaded as well. Go for the books or various activities and stay for the vibes. While you’re there, grab my book - Reflections of Healing

I had a personal snack and was not ready for anything heavy, also I don't have funds to spend in a cafe all day. I asked for a straw for my kombucha and the lady at the cash register made a weird face that I would ask for that. At this

When I say BLACKITY BLACK BLACK bookstore I mean that with every fiber of my being. The café was delicious! The coffee warms your soul, the food was amazing, & most importantly the books oh my gosh the books. There was knowledge and history flowing from every nook and cranny of this shop. It feels like a salon/barbershop were you can chop it up with all who enter. I will most def be back.
