All the sewing kits in the area were sold out but I popped in here and Gregory was a Saint. He helped me get enough thread to fix the blazers and in the process I noticed the array of high quality menswear's and socks. Gregory was super helpful and a joy to work with. He is truly the epitome of southern hospitality and his shop is amazing. 100% recommendation.

You know, the type of experience where you come for something and are SO VERY glad that you chose that person to come to? THAT was my experience with Gregory Jacobs Clothier (and suit alterations). I had purchased a tuxedo from another company, and I found the sleeves were too long, and the pants a little tight in the seat. I came in and Gregory had his tailor work his magic on my Tux, despite not having purchased it from him. I felt like he gave me the type of personal concern that I almost never find anymore. I honestly wish I had found his store before I bought my tuxedo somewhere else, however he took what I came in with and made it shine. He has earned a customer for life in me.

The Spindle is a bike shop on one side and a cute little coffee shop/cafe on the other side. The…read more"other side" is referred to as Spindle Kitchen. My partner and I checked them out one Saturday afternoon and we were definitely impressed. The location is in Old Fourth Ward on Auburn Ave, near Krog Market. There is a collection of studios, businesses, etc. called Studioplex, this is where Spindle Kitchen lives. You will enter through the bike shop, question why you don't ride your bike more, and then walk through to the cafe. Spindle Kitchen serves breakfast from 9-11 and lunch from 11-4. During this time, they have their own menu of available items, but they also host pop up dinners throughout the week and pop up brunches on Sunday. You can check their Instagram or website to see what it coming up. We decided to start with their menu to feel out what they are all about. Everything on their menu was vegan or vegetarian and they use locally sourced, organic ingredients when possible. I ordered the Rose Beet latte which was made with cashew milk. It was delicious. For my meal, I went with the Radish Toast. It was amazing. It had a walnut ricotta base and was piled with thinly sliced raw radishes and spring onions. So fresh and tasty. My partner went with a curry style soup. She is still talking about how great it was. It was served with Naan on the side. I will definitely be back to try the breakfast options!

We peered through the window and Ezz, the owner, actually opened up long enough to have a chat with us. I thought that was pretty cool. My next visit I was a bit more confused, shop in the front, cafe in the back. BUT, since then I have stopped by regularly as I get my haircut right around the corner. Got to say, Ezz is incredibly welcoming, accommodating, knowledgable and skilled. He runs a cool, unique little place with great food, personal service, and quality products, built to order if desired!

While perhaps the bulk of its offerings is apparel, there are also lots of gifts and home stuff available too. There's even a plant shop in the back which will make you feel (or at least me feel) like a jungle explorer, with pots and pots of exotic specimens. I knew I was going to be a fan of this place after I noticed they carried cards from an Etsy seller who sold me some darling holiday cards a couple of years ago. A very Etsy-ian establishment, so you can feel good shopping at a local store offering many locally-made items. Plus, there is no dearth of employees patrolling the floor, and they're nice too. The checkout area is at the front, off to one side. When you're tired and need to recharge, Citizen Supply even offers a bar in the center of its space.  Be a good citizen and check out the supplies at Citizen Supply!

UPDATE: I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SHOE IN THIS STORE.. sorry Jeff I was rocking with you…read moreunfortunately, I came into Walter's to use store credit from a pair of shoes I returned in January. I was told when I made the return that all I'd need was my ID -- the store keeps the slip on file. When I gave my name and ID, the associate couldn't find my slip. Instead of continuing to look thoroughly, he accused me of already using the credit or that it wasn't in my name, suggesting I was trying to get over on the store. This was said in front of other customers, which left me feeling humiliated, disrespected, and singled out. I later found a picture of my slip and saw the store had made the error -- my name was written incorrectly on their end. Which was funny because I was told it was my fault and that in all the years the store had been operating, they had "never made a mistake." My name starts with an "S" why was there an "M" on the slip, I have no clue. Even after it was clear I was right, there was no apology or effort to make things right. In that moment, I did not feel I was given the same respect or fair treatment that another customer might have received. The entire interaction was unprofessional and extremely disappointing.

They don't have "Miles and Miles" of selection, but what they have is nicely curated, quality materials and well organized. The brand has a great story. The employee that helped me was polite, energetic, and eager to help me get to what I was looking for. She recommended complimentary colors (which is great since I'm a fashion dunce), and a few different styles and options to meet my needs. Dressing rooms having "Daring" curtains with some gaps, so, ya'know, if you're the super bashful type, just be aware. Overall a fresh shop, I'll be heading back soon to see if they have the blazer I want in stock!
