Unfortunately, I had neglected many of my succulents from the past years, and needed to replenish desperately. This is the perfect place for it!

The owner was very friendly and helpful and willing to make adjustments for a drink I wanted. I ended up getting the clover agave that was sweet smooth drink. No bitter coffee here.

Recently, while out for a walk, I decided to stop in for a coffee--and I was so impressed by how peaceful and beautiful this place is. From the moment you arrive, you're drawn in by the vibrant colors of the flowers and their sweet scent. It truly feels like stepping into a garden. I absolutely love the concept of a flower shop and coffee house combined. On my most recent visit, I tried the Lavender White Mocha Latte, and it was perfection. The flavors were beautifully balanced, with a true taste of lavender--exactly what I love in a lavender latte! The warm, welcoming service and the cozy atmosphere make this a place I always look forward to visiting. Sitting among the flowers with a great cup of coffee is such a peaceful experience.

For parking, it's best to head down Telephone and turn into the lot where you see Lamps Plus and Office Depot. (If you find yourself facing Ross, Lakeshore is completely on the opposite end of the lot.) REVIEW: It's OK. I mean, it's fine enough. If you need something in a pinch (instead of waiting for USPS delivery). The staff are friendly enough, too. It's just the prices. AND, especially now it's even worse. :( The store is quite large and I have noticed that their inventory is usually very well stocked. They carry a great variety of inventory too. I would recommend Lakeshore for any educational needs you may have.

I always say, "let's go to first and rule them out, [as if that's the case, but it never is, as they always have what we need], & if they don't have it, we can go to the bigger places, but Ace NEVER DISAPPOINTS‼ I say that with great certainty. One time it was a vacuum cleaner belt, (I mean, seriously, this was a longshot, but there it was), another, was a certain paint, this time it was a hot water hose for my washing machine and the Good Lord knows, a mom cannot go without her washing machine for long I mean, the list goes on and on. They even had a variety of lengths. My husband was quick to say, "I knew they wouldn't have the right length...", and THERE it was!!! We also had to get a fixture, for the hose and the employee would not let us leave without testing at first on his own products. The variety is unmatched. I cannot tell you how many times I've been able to just run next-door to my neighbor, Franklin's Ace Hardware, and get what I need. No travel needed. The prices are unbelievable, I always figure they're going to be a little bit more because it's a smaller business, but that is just NOT THE CASE. I am more pleased, every time I'm there. So to break it down, no travel and no wallet, busting. Please neighbors, let's keep this place in business as they are game changers and NEVER let me down Recap; *in the neighborhood, *inventory and variety; unmatched, *employees; knowledgeable, and most importantly, *prices; wallet, friendly!!! Lets go Franklin's Ace Hardware‼

They even have a Garden section! Associate Nick was quick to greet me and show me what I'd missed, the frozen pies!! What!!?? The BBQ dry rubs and marinates!! This place has it all. The staff here was so attentive and friendly it made it easy to shop around. For a female it can be intimidating attempting going to a hardware store. At checkout Sydney helped me sign up for their rewards program, I will definitely be coming back. I'd rather come here than those big wherehouse hardware stores! You can never find anyone to help you there and being lost seems to be par for the course.
