The hottest picks of the city shine in our annual Readers’ Choice Poll.
As temperatures rise, so does the excitement. We asked you, dear readers, back in January to vote for your favorite businesses, restaurants, services and hidden gems that define our city. A list of finalists was placed online in March. And you’ve all been waiting four months to finally learn who earned top honors through your votes and support. Whether you’re looking for the best cup of coffee, a go-to fitness studio or the perfect place to shop locally, this list is your ultimate guide to Edina’s finest.
Join us in celebrating the businesses and individuals who make Edina an incredible place to live, work and play. The results are listed in order of placement: first, second and third and, in some cases, a tie. —Feroza Mehta
