This little shop is next to Oyster City Brewing so while Ben was inside the brewery, I popped in to…read morecheck it out. The shop offers unique items that are mostly coastal inspired. I saw a cute sea urchin bowl that I knew would go well with my mother's bathroom theme so I took a picture to send to her. After taking some pictures I saw a sign that stated absolutely no photos. Umm, well too late on that part and honestly seems a little crazy to me. Given the price points of some of the items, I would never just take the plunge and buy something without confirmation if for someone else. Another reason it seemed crazy to me was because the most if not all the items weren't one of kind. Maybe a piece of art here or there but they had Burt's Bees items which is sold everywhere and multiple numbers of same items, books, etc. The shop was very cute and I did like several items in there for gifts but did not make any purchases. Maybe if ever in the area again.

Whether you are a citizen of Apalachicola, or simply visiting, Riverlily should be a destination on…read moreyour "List of Awesome Things To See and Do." They have a fantastic selection of soaps, lotions, candles, clothing, as well as jewelry. I was able to find a very unique and special necklace for a gift, and while I was there I was able to find a greeting card amongst their wide selection to accompany it. However, my favorite thing about Riverlily is Emma & Ivey's Beautiful Eggs with Gulf Sunrise Yolks. This was the last place I would have thought to find farm fresh eggs, but they have them. They are pleasing both to the palate and the eye. Stop in: you will not leave disappointed, nor empty handed.

The nautical decor here is pitifully over-done, a niche business maybe in some way, but those thoughts are buried in the tales from the old shop reviewed here, you can still see the old decaying abandoned building on a seaside street on the edge of town. I entered this new shop without reservations even after listening to a pair of customers exiting the business filled with disappointment. I had no prior knowledge or bias, so I own my opinion expressed here. There was no interaction with the staff, she seemed pre-occupied behind the counter sitting with her back to the customers the entire time. I live near a beach so I completely understand the seafaring theme but I had no idea by the store name that I was entering a shop with such a narrow focus so I guess that was my biggest disappointment besides the pricing, I felt the quality of a lot of the pieces didn't match the asking price but then again nothing here had me drooling to negotiate a better price. I walked the entire property in under fifteen minutes which was plenty of time to view everything including a little room off the main floor that was partially filled with Native American art and trinkets, personally I wouldn't have a reason to stop in again...

We stopped in here to get the above mentioned, there's lots of touristy stuff here and a staff that was more interested in what was on their phone than providing a great customer service experience like others have said "no smiles, no thank you" - believe me all these souvenir shops are dead in the off season so nobody was overwhelmed here including myself. The selection was not that good but my agenda was to get something from the area and I did on my own after scouring this place after asking for some direction from the staff - I don't thing they know what a refrigerator magnet is so they weren't much help but I got something and cashed out...
