We were trying to find a gift shop to help commemorate our trip to Raleigh. It turned out to be a…read moredifficult feat. I found this one last second with about a half an hour before closing 11 minutes away from us. So we sped off get there in time. When we got there and walked through the little pink door, it was the cutest little shop. So my friend is visiting from Scotland and we wanted to get some kind of necklace or piece of jewelry that matched. They have a great selection. We opted for some lava rock bracelets that help with communication, truth, and strength. I grabbed a little shot glass that said North Carolina on it because I have to have a trinket from every trip I make. When we were checking out, she said that somebody wanted to donate a basket to somebody that they had bought and wasn't gonna pick up so we ended up getting a free basket from Krystal! That was the sweetest thing. We were like two little school girls opening it up and dividing all of the little snacks inside. So thank you for making the end of our trip wonderful!!

We had some time to kill and were looking for a non-chain coffee spot. This one was close by and…read morehad great reviews. So we decided to give them a try. We had a little difficulty finding it. GPS brought us to the parking lot behind the building. There isn't clear signage to direct you where to go. We managed to find our way up the stairs and into the building. There are a number of businesses located inside. Lucky Tree is super cute. It's set up to encourage working, with plenty of charging spots all around. There is a variety of seating, from long wooden tables to smaller individual areas. We ordered a chai latte and golden milk latte, both with oat milk. Both drinks were good. Fyi there is a separate entrance from the side that takes you directly to another smaller parking lot.

I decided to try this out for a quick coffee stop while in town for a conference. The service was…read morefriendly and quick! I tried the breakfast bagel bites, which were soft and warm. I loved the cheese on top! I was not a huge fan of the flavor the almond flour gave them but it was not overpowering. I would probably get them again! They had a lot of options as far as specialty lattes but I am glad I went with the Vanilla Maple. I was worried that the maple flavor would be too much but it complimented the vanilla well. The inside was VERY well decorated, and I would've loved to stay and do a little computer work! I could see myself coming by and sitting down for a quick brunch, meeting up with friends, or staying for a work session.

Do you not really cook and yet want guests to compliment your 'cooking' when entertaining?…read more Be like me, and come here to pick up only the best curated cheeseball and cracker mixes, popcorn and nut mixes, and cocktail mixers...because no one needs to know how easy it was on you. Also they sometimes sample out a mean rum punch, y'all, and I want the recipe. Meanwhile, you end up browsing the plethora of goods, from floor to high ceiling, and your teen thanks you for her new buttery soft socks and you come home looking fabulous in a faux fur poncho you never knew you needed. They even carry oil paintings from local artists, one of which is now a delightful addition to our holiday decor. I also noticed a nice university gear section - we just have to figure out what side we're on. Whether you're for Pack, Heels, or Devils, there is a particularly posh selection of college gifts here. I like their people too. They'll hold all your stuff for you when you came for one thing but keep browsing and picking up more. The owner is like that classy auntie who's more fun than you and knows where to get all the good stuff, so you don't have to. And they gift wrap! Bottom line: This store makes me happy. Go visit and sample the spicy crackers.

My friend and I visited this store for the first time while passing through Raleigh. I decided to…read moretake a picture of the inside to show my mother, as I thought she would like the store and recommend her coming. I'm not sure if she was the owner, but an older lady walked up and asked if she could help which I responded no, that I was just shopping. She proceeded to ask if we were "shopping or just taking pictures", then walked off. They had a lot of cute things, but I did not want to give them my money at that point. The attitude and comment was unnecessary.

There is a dry bar offering mock-tails that you can purchase as you journey through the garden. Pricing is very reasonable and the staff very knowledgeable and friendly. There is also a small coffee shop located on the property near the lake. The small seating area overlooks a pond - creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere while taking in your delicious drinks and/or food. Definitely worth a visit and will definitely make my way back!

An absolute yes for me. This is a fun co-op style store that offers a wide variety of unique and…read morefun pieces for just about any personality type. A fair amount is handmade pieces, so if you like one-of-a-kind options, this is your place. Staff was super friendly, greeting us as we entered and offering any assistance should we need it. They have signage throughout with prices and info on the makers and / or the pieces. I loved the jewelry and art in particular. Overall: A+ A must stop in the mall for one-of-a-kind pieces from unique makers.

This is the type of place you might expect to find in a small tourist beach walk area! What you can find here varies all the time, as there are a variety of items from local artisans. This is a great place to find small gifts or even gifts representing Raleigh! I bought a beautiful canvas tote, celebrating the city of oaks, a great bag to take to the farmers market or street fairs! I also bought a variety of inspirational stickers for my journal! This store is located on the upper floor of the mall at the end near Belk's. The great thing about this store is it has an outside entrance and an inside entrance so it is easy to pop in and out of!

We have a Painted Tree in South Florida that will be opening soon. I wanted to check this out so…read morethat I would have an idea what to expect when ours opens. It's almost like the antique malls where people rent stalls and sell their wares, except that everything is new. There are craft items, collectibles, clothing, candles, socks and so much more! They even had a stall selling Glamorous Wash Laundry Detergent. I like the High Maintenance and Diva scents and use it for my bedding. I love the way that it makes them smell! If you find something that you like, just bring it up to the register at the front of the store and they'll ring you up. I hope that our Painted Tree is just as cool as this was!

Cons: The stalls are not arranged in any kind of order, so you have to walk the entire store. Some of the aisles felt a bit tight.

Not a helpful policy for Christmas gifts, as I learned the hard way.
