I liked the layout of the store and the fact that it shares space with a quirky vintage shop.

The mural along the wall next to the building is also a lovely local beaut. La!!

I always stop by to pick up gifts for our employees who are visiting our Portage office. They love the "Yes, There Really Is A Kalamazoo" items.

Both ladies working that day were super nice and looked in their backroom and also called the Crossroads Don's Card Hut for me. They were not able to locate one, but I very much appreciated their customer service.

IA just gets better and better! If you're shopping for a gift or just want to treat yourself to something special, Initial Attraction should be your destination. It is one of the best gift shops in Kalamazoo if not the best. I also want to give a special shout -out Maryann & Gail. They ALWAYS go above and beyond to make sure a customer has their needs met with perfection. They are great at suggestion if your not too sure what you're after. If you need a place to find extraordinary customer service and beautiful and diverse inventory and personalized gifts this needs to be your next stop!

They have lots of what I think of as comfy old lady gear -- they have a brand of clothing that looks a lot like Lilly Pulitzer but is less expensive, cozy slippers, Vera Bradley bags. Great place to shop for Mother's Day basically. There's a full aisle of Hallmark cards, another aisle of wrapping paper and other gift wrapping items, lots of yummy candies including big brands like jelly belly and Russell Stover and a local section featuring Hellman's nuts and candies. They also have a full service pharmacy, and an ice cream shop at the front of the store.

Cool stuff but the customer service is horrid. The first person who greeted us walked up with a…read moremouth full of pizza and a slice in her hand and said "hi there". We didn't even know if she worked there so my wife asked and the girl said "yeah I do I can help you". We said she could finish her lunch then come back and she said: "no its ok I don't mind..." We told her we would rather wait and she thanked us and went to greet others with her greasy pizza in hand. After waiting an hour we came back only to find that they engrave the wrong piece. Rather than apologizing in offering to quickly what are some extra mine I told us it would be another 30 minutes. When we disagreed with that they submitted to having a new one ready in 15 to 20 minutes. Obviously the staff here has been poorly trained by a manager who has no leadership ability. Neat products if you're willing to suffer through a poor experience from a staff who doesn't care about serving the customer. I would have given 0 stars but the girl we bought our item from (not pizza girl) was actually nice.

I was once an employee at this location. To say that associates are poorly trained is an…read moreunderstatement. I was never allowed breaks and it was suggested to me--without fully saying it--that I wasn't even allowed to leave the kiosk for a bathroom break. The assistant manager (now the manager) was a bullying monster who treated us, and customers, like we were dirt. I heard her, more than once, make racial slurs towards customers and argue with customers over her own mistakes. The associates did the best they could with the minimal, terrible training they had. Customers were treated terribly by the assistant, associates were treated terribly by the assistant, and any problems were not handled professionally. Instead, she blamed them on everyone else or on the customers themselves. Even when I purchased items and the assistant did the engraving, she was too lazy to change the glass needle to ensure that it was a crisp engraving. A gift I got for my parents ended up looking fuzzy and grainy because she couldn't be bothered to do her job properly. I'd like to say we did good work there: engraving was fun and rewarding, especially when a customer was happy with the result. But the nightmare of dealing with the assistant wasn't worth the hassle for myself and for some of the other employees who worked there at the same time as me. I can't imagine what it must be like for customers trying to purchase items and having to deal with her. Please, save yourself the trouble: don't shop there or work there.

They also offer single servings of all sort of teas and coffee drinks! They offer a quaint little area to enjoy your treats if you'd like to stay for a visit with a friend! There is also a nice outdoor seating area for when the weather is nice! The dessert case is truly something to behold - so many wonderful looking treats! We also saw a menu with some other food items available such as quiches or sandwiches. The staff were extremely helpful with all of our questions - very friendly and kind! Definitely recommend Chocolatea for a really nice experience that leaves you feeling like a valued customer! :)
