Excelsior Bay Books

Excelsior Bay Books captures the spirit of one of the most charming communities on Lake Minnetonka, offering a bookstore experience that is both sophisticated and relaxed. The store sits on Water Street in downtown Excelsior, a town that draws visitors with its antique shops, restaurants, and the natural beauty of the lake. Since 2009, the store has been a destination for both year-round residents of the lake communities and the weekend visitors who flock to Excelsior in warmer months. The literary fiction selection is curated with care, and the lake life section celebrates the culture of Minnesota's lakes with humor and affection. The cooking section features both aspirational food writing and practical titles for cabin entertaining, and the children's section serves the families who have made Lake Minnetonka summers a tradition for generations. The store's compact space is organized with the precision of a boutique, every title earning its place.
