Great little shop full of this and that, these and those & wants and cannot live withouts. I've…read morebeen popping in and out of here for a couple years now, there are multiple sections of the store to poke your head around. The upstart part is like strawberry picking with bins filled with ever. I've found some great Christmas gifts here and personal items to my collections. Prices range on the retail side and up, accepting cash and card. They are following Covid rules if that makes a difference for you. Masks and social distances required. Best part about this shop is there is a nice little ice cream shop across the street =) this downtown area has changed for the better over the years and this place is just another addition to it.

If you're in the market for interesting things with no thought to their cost, this may be your place. The few things I would have bought were price 3 to 4 times what I they'd be worth to me, so, for me... eh. Still, it's great to wander around either way.

Locally made crafts/gifts/cards and the store is filled to the brim with lovely things! Good to note: If you put 50 Pleasant street Norwich in your GPS it will take you to the back of the building which is the wrong side. Go past pleasant st and the parking lot is on your left! Or search for Dexters smoothie and Coffee vault. The location is a little odd but definitely a hidden gem!

It's hard to walk away from this store coz it's so cute n adorable and evokes an interest just from the outside and makes you curious on what you may find inside... its quite small .. a hodgepodge of wonderful handmade crafts all made locally in CT... makes for a one of a kind gift...

I have been shopping Cottage Melts online for going on two years and have watched the evolution to…read moretheir brick and mortar location with great excitement. Not only are their melts long lasting, they create some of the best scent combinations of any company I have found. Their dedication to creating quality products and excellent customer service has made me a life long customer and fan. I love their melts, candles, lotions and car diffusers to the point I almost exclusively gift from their shop for holidays. When creating their store they have been incredibly intentional in curating a space that not only will showcase their growing range of products but has also given opportunity to other small, local businesses to sell their products. This commitment to their new community and giving space to help others succeed is incredibly admirable. Definitely worth a drive to see them - smell their products in person - and I promise you will fall in love with Cottage Melts too!

I definitely stop by here when I'm looking for fun gifts to give out of towners because there are so many references to local staples that are uniquely Rhode Island. Did I mention the staff is super nice every time I come in here? They know I'm mostly browsing and eventually will find something.

We popped into Frog and Toad to see what else they had to offer. We found it was a fun spot full of eclectic trinkets and items, gifts and clothing.

We enjoyed looking through all the items, getting some good laughs and even picking up a few small items to take home. This shop is a fun and unique spot, definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

While I was speaking to the shop keep, they told me about a nice farmstand down the street on my way home so of course I pulled over as soon as I saw it to acquire some great fresh fresh produce before heading back to Boston. The stand was of a smaller size but very well arranged with super curb appeal. I would give it 100 out of 100. There were little sections that were very decorative but for sale. They comprised of all the different types of squashes pumpkins, and flowers with a cart in the middle for doing business. The woman running the farmstand was a little startled because the first thing I did as an Elite Yelper was to whip out my phone and start taking photographs. I don't think this is happened here before as she thought there was an issue ha ha. Promptly I introduced myself and explained that Im an Elite Yelper and what an Elite Yelper actually does. I explained that I was going to take a few photographs and then I would purchase some vegetables. After my explanation, she was relieved and turned out to be quite the sweetheart. Of course I asked a lot of questions like where the vegetables were grown etc. She was extremely happy to have a conversations about everything she had for sale . She had quite the , two different types of corn, fresh picked tomatoes, beautiful bulbs of garlic, red onions, fingerling potatoes, and so much more. I wanted to buy everything at the stand, but of course I had to limit myself. I decided to take home a dozen corn still in the husk, five large freshly picked tomatoes, five large bulbs of garlic, and a bag of multicolored fingerling potatoes which I handpicked to get an even amount or as close to of the different colorings (yellow, red, dark purple). If you are ever in Stafford, I would highly suggest to stop by this roadside farmstand. You will 100% walk away with something fantastic and delicious. At the time of writing this review, I have only indulged in the tomatoes, which were delicious. They tasted as if I picked them off the vine, cut them up, put a little sea salt on them from my backyard. Again this is a five star farm stand. Save the local grower, buy locally grown produce.
