One child just couldn't handle all the cuteness, he yelled "I want it!" Then promptly had a nuclear-level meltdown. Same, kid, same. I feel you. I scooped up some miniature things, my friend had pens and notecards. Honestly, that kid's mom should have said, "Whist!" which in Irish or Scottish dialects means "Hush!" or "Shut it!" There's so much to see here. This is a fun shop.

Perfect place for the quick gift, and the staff is fresh and will gladly help you locate that special thing you're looking for even if you don't know what you want. Local as well as out-of-area art and creations curated so well, it's almost like a museum of kitsch and wonder!

But, it was packed with unique, locally made art goods (95% Asheville artists, 5% Tennessee/Kentucky they say) that were awesome AND affordable. Pottery, wood carvings, textiles, Christmas ornaments, cookware, glass art, paintings, and more. I liked most everything I saw, and again, it was artistry that wouldn't break your bank. The customer service was so friendly, and the nice lady working really wanted to connect with us, and also tell more about the artists who made some of the different art. Informative, funny, kind - she was great. I would recommend this to EVERY Asheville tourist looking for something unique to take home, rather than junky trinkets made in China that you can find in every American gift shop.

The products here a relatively expensive and it is definitely geared more towards tourists than anything. Currently due to how Avl is I personally don't feel safe going into the store due to all of the panhandlers near this location. There is also not a lot of space to park. Overall this location on Haywood is very difficult to shop at.

My only hiccup was my initial interaction at the counter. When I asked if I could set my plants there while I waited, the employee seemed pretty standoffish, and it made for an awkward first impression. Thankfully, the person who checked me out was warm, friendly, and completely turned the experience around. Maybe I've just had some bad luck, but I feel like I occasionally run into this at local shops around Asheville, where it can feel like customers are more of an interruption than the reason the business exists. I genuinely want to support small businesses, so friendly customer service really does make a difference (or at least fix the RBF).

We each ordered individually, but tasted everyone's dish. Beef Tartare: beautifully presented and well balanced. Served with fried saltines (seasoned with Old Bay seasoning). Wood Grilled Asparagus: perfection! Absolutely LOVED the sauce gribiche! Braised Rabbit and Nettle Cavatelli: I thought this dish was stunning. The texture of the cavatelli could not be better and the flavors melded well together. Lardon added savoriness while the pickled ramps balanced the palate. Soft Herb & Pea Risotto: loved this in terms of texture but needed a touch of salt. We added a pinch of their house special salt (mined from a 100 year old salt mine), and it did the trick! Wild Mushroom Tagliatelle: this was my favorite item, though also, requiring a pinch of salt. I really appreciated that the truffle oil did not overpower the dish (that's a pet peeve of mine). We were provided with some truffle salt to enhance savoriness, which absolutely lifted the pasta to another level. Service all around was attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend if you're in town!

The historic architecture is beautiful and definitely catches your eye from the outside, but unfortunately that's where the excitement ended for me. Visiting on a Sunday afternoon, the building felt surprisingly quiet. There was very little foot traffic, and many of the shops had few or no customers, giving the space an empty atmosphere rather than the lively marketplace I expected. It's very disappointing!! Parking is another downside. There's no free parking nearby, so you'll need to use metered street parking or pay for one of the public parking garages if you're driving. I prepaid 1.5 hours and was out of the building in less than half and hour.
