It's not a full stock of TN products so lower your expectations. Nonetheless, a quaint store I'll be checking out whenever I'm in the DMV region.

Made a trip down to visit Friends to Lovers, and although the store was cute, the customer service…read morewas not the best. The shop had a great variety of books and bookish items from stickers to clothing and everything in between. I loved looking through each area. There was also an author there signing books and some seats throughout the store to sit in. However, I wish the staff was more friendly and attentive. When we were ready to check out, the two staff members were chatting to each other and didn't even acknowledge us waiting to buy our books at the counter. I placed the books down and greeted them politely, and the staff member directly behind the register didn't greet us, continued their conversation with their coworker and just started scanning books without even looking at us or acknowledging us. It was the staff member to the side who then started friendly conversation, but again, the cashier didn't really say much of anything besides our total and if we wanted a bag. Neither of the employees even mentioned the author who was there signing books, and there was no info (at least that we saw) in the store about the author, the book or signing event. I kind of felt bad for the author. Around the store, there were also little signs about books and what they were about, etc. Except, for a large number of them, there wasn't any stock of the book it mentioned. I wish they would update them or remove them if the book sells out. There were a few where I loved the note and wanted to grab the book, but then it wasn't on the shelf. I want to support small businesses and absolutely love romance books, but the customer service really needs improvement here. Sadly, this experience doesn't make me want to come back.

From the very beginning, I knew I wanted our invitations to be the first glimpse into the feeling…read moreand vibe of our wedding day. They absolutely brought that vision to life. The team took my ideas and helped refine them into something even more beautiful than I imagined, and they carried that same thoughtful design seamlessly through all of our day-of stationery. Everything felt cohesive, intentional, and so uniquely us. We received countless compliments on both our invitations and our same-day paper goods. Guests commented on how beautiful and elevated everything looked, and it truly set the tone for the entire celebration. Beyond how stunning everything was, these are keepsakes that I'll cherish forever. Looking back at our invitations and wedding paper instantly brings me back to one of the happiest days of our lives. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I'm so grateful they helped create such a meaningful part of our wedding.

Great for stationary and books. Good location in Georgetown. They helped me try a new tea I…read morewouldn't have normally purchased. I was chatting with the staff for a while about tea. I've really gotten into loose leaf tea and I think they were surprised by my knowledge (not trying to brag or anything) but sometimes I would ask a question and get a pause or something. Nowadays there's so many great small tea businesses to order from online with so many more unique blends. However it's nice to still shop in person and see the tea. This shop doesn't have an online website and they don't sell online. If I wanted more tea I would call to order and have it shipped. Which for a millennial who prefers to deal solely online is a lot of work. They didn't have as much tea as I would have hoped for especially in terms of flavors. Mostly just plain teas. The lady recommended a mango black tea they call Mango Mist. Unusual brewing instructions. She told me to heat my water to 190 for a black tea which is far too low. I tried both 190 and the usual boiling 212 and much preferred 212. Keep in mind temperature varies for what kind of tea. Pricey for loose leaf compared to other small businesses but it is in downtown Georgetown. I'm not local and I don't think I'd be back even if I was but it was a fun experience.

This place is 100% hype and couldn't care less about their customers. The staff was more interested…read morein their private conversation than in assisting me. You know that feeling when you walk into a store and feel like you are a burden to the staff? Like you aren't wanted there and/or are a nuisance? Well, that is the feeling I had from the very moment I stepped in. And, let me tell you - there are a number of similar reviews from other customers experiencing the same thing. So, the owner needs to learn about customer service, then hire the right folks and train them properly. I'm sure the owner will post a response that defends the awful staff and makes silly excuses- so I'm waiting for that :) I will never spend a penny here and would not recommend wasting any time here. Unless, of course, you love the hype of this place and want to get cute little photos to post on social media. Then, maybe this is your place!

One of the best yarn shops in DC, they have a really diverse array of high quality yarns. Of…read morecourse, when you shop at this level of premium (often imported) yarns, the price point is a bit steep, but that's just the truth of paying fairly for unique animal based yarns. If you're in a store like this for yarn it is a great indication of how you want to expand your horizons as a fiber artist because sourcing is a large component we can oversee since conglomerate yarn is so readily accessible. Big industry yarn its not always the best option to support the field as a whole or for wearing. If you are a beginner fiber artist, just go and see the splendor of seeing this many coveted yarns in one place. I would characterize their selections as deeply saturated, vibrant, textured, and elaborates on different shades and tints of a single color (which gets serious when you are looking for something specific). All their employees are trained to help guide you throughout the maker's process. When you buy your skein of yarn, they even wind it for you, which is such an essential service I really appreciate it.
