Dream Haven Books & Comics

DreamHaven Books & Comics is a long-running independent bookstore in Minneapolis with a strong focus on science fiction, fantasy, comics and genre culture.

The shop carries new and used books, graphic novels, manga, collectibles, figures and harder-to-find titles, with enough depth to appeal to serious collectors as well as casual browsers. There’s also a children’s section and a broad mix of unusual stock that makes it worth visiting even if you’re not looking for anything specific.

DreamHaven has a loyal local following and feels very much like a proper independent bookstore rather than a polished chain. Staff know the shelves well, and the store’s long history in Minneapolis gives it real character.

It isn’t specifically an LGBTQ+ bookstore, but it’s a useful addition to a wider LGBTQ+-friendly Minneapolis shopping guide, especially for visitors into comics, speculative fiction and alternative culture.
