For instance, $4 for 1 tiny succulent, $6 for a small plant container, and $115 for a crock. I ended up needing to leave as I was overwhelmed with all the stuff everywhere! There's A LOT to look at for sure, and even some mini horses and goats for sale out back. If you're someone who likes to be frugal like me this place may not be for you. If you don't mind spending money and don't mind the amount of stuff then by all means check it out!

As far as hyvees go, this one is great! Remodeling seems to be just about done and it all looks…read morevery new and very clean. Staff is your typical assortment of friendly adults and high school kids. This is my go to place for meats as they often have great deals and high quality products. For everyday groceries, hyvee is on the pricey side but if your budget can handle it, this is a great place to shop! Never had a bad experience at this hyvee. The picture I included in this review is one of what's typically called "puppy chow" in the Midwest but it made me laugh that they call it "people chow." The main reason I include it is to show the quality of hyvee produced items. If you've ever tried to make puppy chow, it's a messy endeavor. Take a good look at how uniform and clean those boxes look, it's a good example that the increase in price tends to lean toward better items. Overall this is a better than average hyvee! And as the only grocery store on the West side of Ames, it's a good one!

It's so obvious that she loves and cares about her work. This store is adorable - always a solid offering of trendy and timeless clothing, quirky/fun gifts, plants, accessories, etc. Sort of like Target x10000 (you go in for one thing and walk out with 30). So much thought has been put into each product and detail of the store itself. I normally have to steer myself away from boutiques because I'm a poor young person and can't afford boutique pricing, but everything here is fair, affordable, and (yes it's true) high quality. I've been shopping here since it first opened and this place has always been quality/lovely! Whenever I'm back in Ames I have to swing in. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and visit :)

I only hope my review can help other college students be smart about their money and realize, as my friend did, that instead of supporting a small business that she thought she was, it still supports unethical fast fashion. I also know how hard my friend works for her money, which is why I was prompted to write this. Even if it is legal, I find it wrong to upscale and mislead college students.

They are a tad over priced and in some cases I have found items that are over double the cost of big business. But it's privately owned so I understand to an extent. In the evening they have high school kids that work there which is amazing for small town kids. Sometimes the employees seem to be more involved with their phones than their job but they are kids. What do you expect? So after living in several small towns with markets i give it 4 out of 5!

The rooms are beautiful and big enough for a nice crew to be in, but not huge enough to make things not feel intimate! The store is full of hand made, art stuff!

Perfect store for gift shopping for the unique someone who has everything...

This concept was slightly different as the pasta portion was hands on. I really enjoyed that because I learned a good bit about pasta & Ive made it in the past but it was so dense. Food was delicious throughout. They also have a bar & have some seasonable cocktails so that was a nice touch. I enjoyed that it was interactive & open. The space itself is designed well & the kitchen is what I dream of having in my own home one day! Haha. They offer so many different events all with different price points.
