I'm liking Decatur better and better while I'm hear visiting my family. My sister took me by a…read morebrand new thrift store where I found,for $8.95 a San Francisco Giants jacket..the one w/the tan sleeves which was given to the thrift store owner's son by Lou Brock!! My friends back in S.F. are going to be jealous! Then my sis took me by Needz Etc. What a crazy-fun place to shop for you and your family's 'Needz'..yes, I get it. Open since August 1st of 2008, owners Steve and Dawn Rikard have a one-in-a-kind store chocked full of everything from beauty aids to vitamins to first-aid items which they sell for $1.00 to $3.00. There are things that cost a tad more but it is all CHEAP and not something that expired 10 years ago. How so cheap? Steve and Dawn drive to locations in Tenn. and Fla. to buy these products by the pallet. They're basically buying a mystery cornucopia of products which they personally drive back to Decatur, unload and put out. I found a beautiful Natve American dream catcher for $5.00 last October whih I gave to my son. This time, I found a3-pack of Memorex DVD-RW for my camcorder,big bottle of Opticon Lens Solution,bottle of Vit.C. a jar of cocoa butter skin mosturizer all for just over $10.00!! Talk about feeling shopper-triumph. I'll be going back to check their HP ink cartridges soon. A must-see,must-buy for those of you wanting to save your money. Please check Needz Etc. out, you will be pleasantly suprised.

I know Michael S. loves this place, but I didn't. 99.9% of the items I looked at were items like…read moreover the counter drugs and beauty creams and they were all expired. Some I found expired in 2008, yes two years ago. I wasn't too hip on that. I did buy a couple of items whose boxes were beat up and were previously clearance items from Rite Aid and didn't expire, like nasal strips. But I wasn't impressed. The man at the cash register wasn't very friendly. He didn't greet me, at least to where I could hear him and wasn't very appreciative that I'd shopped at his store. He also had a shady friend stop by who was talking rather loudly about how he's going to do illegal things, like rip us fellow tax payers off by collecting unemployment and working under the table. You dirty rat! I really wanted to tell the man off but he was shady and rat like, and scary, so I didn't. The man running the place didn't disagree with what his friend was going to do. So that spoke of his values as well. I brought up a box of tea that had expired last year and he told me 2 dollars, I said that's too much. He didn't even offer to go lower. I mean it's herbal expired tea! Come on! It's not a thrift store. It's a place that specializes in open boxes, tore up boxes, and expired goods. All things found from the clearance racks of local stores. Nothing of any real value. Also there is a 10 dollar minimum if you want to use your charge card, so beaware of that.

We were honestly confused because we were actually considering buying from this location but after that we weren't happy with how we were treated just because we are younger buyers. After she yelled at us to stop playing an older couple came in and started sitting on the couches, not even 2 minutes later than us being told to stop!!

This is a cute little coffee shop / gift shop type of place in downtown Decatur. Being that it's downtown, parking is a little bit of a hassle. I didn't have a hard time finding a spot midday on a Wednesday, but be careful backing out as you're backing right into the street. Inside, the shop is spacious and decorated nicely. It felt airy and peaceful and I could easily see myself catching up with a friend or reading or something. They have a midsize coffee menu, serve Piper and Leaf tea, and have some typical coffeeshop snacks (pastries, etc). One nice feature is a fridge with take and bake type meals and appetizers. That can prove really useful in a pinch! Service was extra nice here: welcoming smiles, patient with questions, and working efficiently. I appreciated that you can actually order a small iced coffee here. Many places only do iced in medium or large portion sizes. The small was just enough to perk me up for the ride home, but not so much I'd have to stop for a restroom, lol. I ordered an iced peppermint mocha as that's pretty much my favorite coffee drink of all time. This one was a good one! Not too strong on the peppermint and a discernible - maybe even stronger than average - chocolatey taste. Like a liquid thin mint! :) I enjoyed my drink on my drive home and look forward to returning for more next time I find myself in the area.
