The two employees there were loudly discussing their college lives and could NOT care less. I was a bother to them. After being rung up, no "thank you, come again". I did leave a polite message for the owner and was ignored. Not a big deal, but I wanted to love this store !! In a day when you have several store options, these are the small things that make a customer return.

Snobbiest boutique staff I've EVER encountered. I've shopped at many high end boutiques from…read moreCharleston SC to NYC, CT to CA, and never had such a rude experience. I brought my 82 year old very youthful and vibrant Asian aunt to browse and shop and, because she is very respectful and polite and partly deaf, she overlooked the experience. We were not greeted by the 2 women behind the counter who were chatting with two customers, even when I looked at them and said hello. We were the only other shoppers in the small store and were never verbally addressed for the 5-7 min we were there even when we were directly in front of the counter. My lovely aunt was stared and gawked at by a for most the time we were there, and as a customer exited, the woman stopped, mouth open with a scowl, watching my tiny, casually well dressed Japanese aunt for a full 30 sec as I glared back protectively. I did not want to embarrass my aunt further by addressing the snobby women. The clothing is mostly boring or gaudy cheap synthetics, some poorly made cotton blend mumus, and some lovely ball gowns in the back which I did not get close to, as I ushered out my sweet aunt. **Extremely overpriced for quality and shabby style. I know other shop owners on Third Ave and they are aware of the arrogant snubbing behavior at The Spot. I grew up in the area and lived here 30 years, and it's so sad to see beautiful, friendly, eclectic Spring Lake turn into a place where entitled, arrogant behavior now seems accepted as normal. Rated 1 star because I had to rate; it's in nice corner location, well lit with natural light.

I found books I absolutely love--some I discovered on my own and others that were personally recommended by the store's fabulous curator, and owner Peter. When I mentioned a book I had recently read and loved--Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin--Peter immediately jumped up, went straight to the bottom shelf, and pointed it out. There was even a handwritten staff recommendation and summary attached to the book. Many of the books throughout the store have these thoughtful mini-reviews, which made browsing feel so personal and engaging. I love the overall vibe of this shop. The selection of gifts is just right: a charming mix of journals, candles, book-themed merchandise, and a few toys--including stuffed animals. I fell in love with a stuffed bear and now I'll have to go back because I didn't purchase him (regret!). If you have the time, I highly recommend setting some aside to slowly explore the shelves, stacks, and cozy nooks of this beautifully curated bookstore. It's an absolute delight

What really sets them apart, though, is their kindness. My son, who has special needs, needed help with a project, and the staff at Booktowne volunteered their time to work with him. They were so kind and patient--we'll never forget it. This is the kind of business our community needs. So stop clicking "Buy Now" on Amazon and head to Booktowne Manasquan instead. You'll walk out with something great and know your money is supporting a generous, caring local business.

But what is interesting is they also have T- shirts and sweat shirts that have the names of different resorts on them such as Hawaii, Florida, California, the Caribbean Islands and so on.
