I LOVE this store! I could've spent hours in here and I passed up somethings I'll be going back for but I had to draw the budget line somewhere today! The young lady ringing me up and the older gentleman (owner?) making our coffee and lattes were both so friendly and helpful. (I kept adding on stuff and never felt ready to be done, lol) The latte was awesome btw! I'm very excited about the bath scrub and the kitchen essentials I bought... and the cans of different Michigan made drinks! (Can't wait to try the Crantini) I think I have to go back for this espresso set. Can't stop thinking about it I somehow didn't even get all of the aliolis in my cart. So much to see And a great dog too! Stop here!!! read more

After a second poor experience in this store, I will not be returning nor will I recommend/refer to any friends or family. My husband, daughter, and I stopped in during the summer of 2020 because it looked like a cute shop. Not only were we followed around the store by who I presume were the owners, my husband was almost chastised for inquiring about a restroom. This year we decided to give it another chance because once again, it's a cute shop with cute items. I stopped to look at some of the beard products for my husband. I picked up a tin of beard balm, opened the UNSEALED lid to smell, and put it back. An older gentleman (the owner's husband per a young female employee) walked up to me out of nowhere and very condescendingly asked if I just broke the seal on the product and shook his head in disgust at me. I immediately went to find my husband and daughter to let them know we would be leaving. As I walked to the back of the store, the gentleman was speaking with a young female employee about me and what I had evidently just done to the product. I'm a grown woman who was raised with respect. Never would I ever pick up a product and intentionally damage it in any way just so I could smell it. I do not appreciate being treated this way as a customer and based on this place's Google reviews, a lot of other people don't appreciate it either. As a business owner, kindness goes a long way. Being rude, arrogant, and unpleasant is so off-putting and has just lost mine and countless friends/family member's business. read more

We used to make this a definite stop every time we visited my parents in a nearby town even though their prices are a bit high, it WAS a nice store to browse and shop in and my family and I have spent A LOT of money there over the years. However, I finally encountered the dreaded owners I have now read so much about and it was AWFUL. My young niece was with us and without doing ANYTHING the male owner snapped at my sister to keep her in place and not let her touch anything.... I was in another part of the store with about $160.00 of merchandise iny hands already.... When he started eye balling me and following me around the store.... I was instantly uncomfortable and felt anxious like I had to get out, but I had waited a long time to go there and splurge on my birthday trip, I picked up a room spray that was in the front of all the others and looked used and partially empty, the store had previously ALWAYS had sample/tester products for most of not all of their bath/body products .... He was eyeing me and giving me dirty looks and I sprayed air and sniffed and he snapped "That's NOT a TESTER!" I was startled and said "Oh? Sorry, I was planning on purchasing it anyway.... Why didn't you say that before I sprayed it when you saw that what I was about to do?" And instead of answering me he just glared at me .... Then my sister came up at that moment angry and said "I'm leaving, I'll be outside" I didn't know what had happened with him being rude to her and my niece. I looked right at him.... Took every item I had in my hands and placed them down with a nice hearty thud in a row on a shelf right in front of him, turned tomfind my parents and said "We're leaving, and we're never coming back." And we have never gone back. It's sad really, to treat your customers like criminals, and by the looks of it, he still hasn't learned his lesson. read more

This is the second bad experience I've had here. First time the husband was very pushy and smothering. We went there looking for a certain wine we had gotten there previously. This time a woman asked if she could help, I showed her the wine and she very shortly said "I don't have that". I asked if it was out of stock or just not carried anymore and she went on a tirade about how many types of wine exist and she can't stock them all or know what she had. My mother and I put the items we had intended to purchase down and left. We will not return. read more

Just popping in and out of small shops along the main drag when I passed by this one and went in. It is actually two stores side by side. On the right is the bath shop. They had some neat lotions and other bath products and I was looking for something lavender lotion-y but their prices were slightly higher than I was out to spend. I'm sure their products are good, I just didn't need something that "elite". What I did buy was two of the cutest little turtle charms for my youngest daughter. I was going to get one, then thought she might make earrings out of them if I got two. I mailed them to her and she loved them. I wish I'd taken a picture of them to share but I did find a picture on the internet that looks like it I think. On the left is the kitchen shop with lots of pots and pans and knives and all manner of gadgets, nicer quality stuff. I can't be buying larger stuff since I'm flying home, but just for fun I bought a small sample (airline-size) bottle of "Chocolate Wine". It was very good. read more

This is the second time we have tried to go to this store and each time the owners husband has given me more than enough reasons not to return. Huff and puffing around the store and talking down to my wife and I. I am not sure what the malfunction is. They have nice things I want to buy. I can't seem to get him to shut his condescending mouth long enough to take my money. We come here once a year on vacation and this seems to be the only place in town trying to refrain from doing business. Maybe they have an amazing local following who loves to be told what they are wrong. Last year the owners husband yelled at us for asking about a restroom and this year he snapped at my wife for smelling a beard balm. When I mentioned something to one of the other workers she apologized over and over for his behavior. Not her job. While I do appreciate her efforts it did seem a bit pre-rehearsed. Almost as if she has done this many times before. Please don't take my word for it. Feel free to go ask him for help so you can be looked down on and treated like a mere peasant in his kingdom of stuff people want but nobody needs. read more

I have been in the store twice while visiting the area. Both times I was followed around by an older man who worked there who would not leave me alone to browse. He kept trying to turn my attention to specific items in the store. He followed me nonstop and hovered and kept trying to draw me into conversation. I just wanted to browse! I also wanted a cappuccino. I asked if I could have one with coffee instead of espresso. I was told no. I asked if I could just have a cup of coffee with steamed milk. I was told no. They have some cute merchandise, but not cute enough to get me back into the store. If the older gentleman could be removed, I would go back. My sister lives in the community. I told her what happened and she said she never shops there anymore because of the man always following her around. She feels harassed just like I did. read more

Super cute stuff. If you are looking for a unique bathroom set, this is the perfect place! 3 stars for 2 reasons - 1. very expensive. You can find the same stuff at the outlet or Homegoods for 1/2 the price. 2. stupid return policy. The owner has to approve returns even with the receipt, and they give you a gift certificate that expires. And the owner is a little snippy. After spending many many paychecks here re-outfitting my mom's house, we had a simple return of a towel that we bought that just didn't work. It had the tag on and we had the receipt. It was a huge ordeal. If you are walking by stop in but be forewarned you may not find the best price here. read more

Very nice place. Clean and organized. Neat one of a kind items. Good selection of wine and home interior items. Coffee is good too.

My favorite store to visit in Tawas. Great kitchen items, wine selection, and coffee!

Don't let the name fool ya. Not a real big "brew" selection. One tiny closet sized room with some specialty beers. This place has a lot of nick nacks but I'm not a nick nack kind of dude. read more

A wonderful boutique gift shop with very friendly and helpful staff. The only place around that you can find Traverse City cherry coffee. I come back every year and look forward to stocking my shelf. read more

Check your receipt carefully BEFORE you leave the store! Surly customer service. Lost my business.

My husband and I LOVED this place. The Coffee is great. The items they carry are really neat. Every morning the first guest of the day gets to pick the "flavor of the Day"....what a great idea. We will return next year! read more

Cute store with cute things, but the only thing worse than their version of an iced-cappuccino is the extremely rude service -- most of the people who work there could be fantastic, so it's too bad that this unhappy woman is giving their store a bad reputation. We went in, on a weekday, and were looking for a cold caffeinated beverage to grab for the ride home. They claim to have coffee and espresso drinks, so we ordered. Here's how the conversation went: "Can I help you?" "Yes, could I get an iced-cappuccino, please?" At this point the lady abruptly turned around, in a huff, and scooped two big heaps of some weird powder into a blender. I asked if the drink had espresso in it, and she said "no" -- in rude tone. She said "There's no coffee in them at all." The fact that the coffee drinks are made with sugary, chemical mystery powder is one thing, but the fact that the employee was SO curt and rude, was the main point of annoyance. My 3 girlfriends and I said, thanks, but no thanks. On the way out, one of my girlfriends mentioned that we thought the service was quite rude, but there was zero reply or apology. None of us will ever be back, for anything! We are all in East Tawas every weekend, but will visit the Tea House or The Village Chocolatier for our coffee drinks. read more
