There are so many beautiful things jewelry, pendants you can hang up in your house or porch , Art , bath and body stuff and little bit of this and that! The ladies in the shop were so nice they greeted us right away and let us know if we needed anything to let them know. I picked up several things shopping a little early for Christmas. They even rapped everything up so beautifully. So I am set to just put them underneath the tree. Next time I am in the area I will definitely be back !! Thank you so much !!!

For my wife's Valentine's Day flowers this year (2023), I ordered online and had delivered early a…read more"Chef's Choice" arrangement from University Florist, an independent local florist in Chapel Hill. The flowers are beautiful and my wife loves them. The ordering and delivery experience was easy. I give this place five stars. Highly recommend it. I found University Florist on Yelp after doing a search for "Flowers & Gifts Delivery" in Chapel Hill: https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=Flowers+%26+Gifts+Delivery&find_loc=Chapel+Hill%2C+NC. University Florist popped up as the #4 "best" result. The reviews, pictures, and the business' website looked good, so I went ahead with University Florist. On the front end, I loved how quick and easy it was to navigate University Florist's site and order. I shopped "From the Fridge" and chose Chef's Choice. With Chef's Choice, all I had to do was choose a size. I let the experts decide which flowers to use to "serve up a super fresh slice." The sizes ranged from Small ($65) to Super Duper ($225). I went with Medium ($95). After shipping ($12.50) and taxes ($8.05), my total worked out to $115.55. Other shopping options included "From the Ground," which did not look as lush and eye-popping (understandable given the winter season) and "Valentine's Day 2023." The "From the Fridge" options weren't available February 10-15, 2023. The Valentine's flowers were available starting February 10. The simplicity of University Florist's website is great. I wasn't overwhelmed with choices. It saved me time. I appreciated that. My wife's Chef's Choice arrangement came with roses, tulips, hydrangeas, and other flowers we're not sure the names of. As soon as she first set eyes on them, I heard her repeatedly say, "Wow" and "I love them." She also said, "These might be my favorite of all the flowers you've gotten me." That says a lot because I've gotten her many different types of arrangements over the years. This arrangement from University Florist is outstanding. My wife loves the unique, bold, and colorful combination. She thinks it's creative and, refreshingly, unlike the "generic" arrangements one typically sees (e.g., those advertised on websites). She likes how the roses have different color petals than usual. The arrangement has served to brighten up our living room and they make my wife very happy. She also likes how the card holder is a repurposed stem and not a plastic piece. Eco-friendly. Needless to say, the flowers have done their job! Other things I've heard (or overheard) my wife say about the flowers when she's in the living room: - "So pretty." - "I love it." - "I'm obsessed with the roses and this arrangement. They're beautiful." - "I love the roses and hydrangeas." - "Oh my gosh, the tulips are so beautiful. They smell so good. They changed overnight." - "Oh my gosh, it smells amazing. I can't get over how good it smells!" Christina delivered the flowers to our door at 11:45am on the day that I specified. Christina was very nice. She had to hike up a few flights of stairs too. The flowers arrived in excellent condition. Thank you again, Christina. I ordered the flowers five days in advance. University Florist's brick-and-mortar shop is located in the heart of downtown Chapel Hill, right on Franklin Street near the "major" and popular intersection with Columbia Street (where UNC Tar Heel fans congregate to celebrate big wins). The business has been around since 1946! The current and previous owners, Henry House and his father Charles House, were born and raised in Chapel Hill. This is a true mom-and-pop shop and, unlike other florists, it is not affiliated with national floral wire services like FTD, Teleflora, and 1-800-Flowers.com. Over the years, I've liked to order from different flower shops and review them on Yelp. You can check out my collection here: https://www.yelp.com/collection/BsisJC9_j6A_evQYhzGxqw/Florists-and-Flower-Delivery. In recent years before I found University Florist, in the Triangle, I've ordered from Victoria Park Florist in Chapel Hill (2022: https://www.yelp.com/biz/victoria-park-florist-chapel-hill), Chapel Hill Florist (2021: https://www.yelp.com/biz/chapel-hill-florist-chapel-hill-2), and Pine State Flowers in Durham (2021: https://www.yelp.com/biz/pine-state-flowers-durham-2). University Florist compares favorably to the competition.

My biggest…read moreconcern is that the shop seem to be well attended, but also overpriced, and frankly, you can't even use the bathroom without talking to somebody who owns one of the establishments to get a code to use the restroom. Doesn't feel very inviting and the parking requirements. Here are such that if you even leave this establishment for five minutes, your car is gonna be towed and you're gonna get a bill for over $200. It just gives me the willies to come back.

We've been to Carr Mill Mall for a couple restaurants…read more 1. Tandem (New American cuisine) https://www.yelp.com/biz/tandem-carrboro-carrboro and 2. Thai Station https://www.yelp.com/biz/thai-station-restaurant-carrboro Both Tandem and Thai Station are good restaurants worth visiting. You can read my reviews of each for more info. We might come here for the other restaurants (e.g., Grata Diner, Venable Rotisserie Bistro), but other than that, there's not much for us here. Carr Mill Mall is a shopping mall with restaurants, a grocery store, and local boutique shops. The mall is named after Julian Carr, whom the Town of Carrboro was named after in 1913. It used to be a cotton and hosiery mill. The cotton mill was built in 1898. The original brick structures have been renovated and repurposed into the mall it is today. Like other converted developments across the country, the complex has an industrial/warehouse vibe and it's got some charm to it. The grocery store is Weaver Street Market, a local chain of cooperative (community-owned) grocery stores. There are four Triangle locations. The aforementioned Venable Rotisserie Bistro is presumably named after what the Town of Carrboro used to be called, Venable. The mall is located in/near the heart of Carrboro, within a short walking distance to a lot of local businesses. According to Yelp reviews from 2011 to 2023, this property has been strict with parking enforcement and quick to tow. Being from a big city like Atlanta, I'm used to it, but I wouldn't expect it in a town like Carrboro. I've personally never had an issue parking here and judging from the reviews, I wouldn't leave my car here to walk to another place off-site.

They carry a nice variety of hummingbird feeders and bird houses too. They are expanding the plant selection but right now they have great plants. The reason for the 4 stars is that my friend and I were in the store for a good ten minutes (it's not a giant store) and no one greeted or acknowledged us. There were three employees. Finally, a nice lady asked if we needed help with anything and we informed her and thanked her that she offered to help and then she was the first person to say some thing. She was visibly upset about that and informed us that she was the general manager and she was new. She immediately went to the other employees and said some thing to them, and I think they were all quite surprised. Bottom line when there's customers in your store an employee needs to say hello and ask if the customer needs any help that's basic 101.
