I am consistently impressed by the many offerings at POST! It's my go-to place for unique cards and…read moregifts as it is so thoughtfully curated and features amazing local artists. The entire staff is SO helpful if you need help deciding on a gift, and if you're lucky, you'll be greeted by a parade of small dogs upon entering! If you shop long enough, you will certainly notice the schedule of events and workshops posted in the store (or, more likely, a workshop that's in progress!). It's an impressive list with a wide variety of crafting options and skill levels. I've done two workshops so far and attended a handful of events, each one was absolutely fantastic! And last but certainly not least - there's a great cafe in the back with big tables for laptop-ing, chatting, writing - whatever you fancy, you can do it here, and with a delicious cup of coffee/tea! So lucky to have POST in my neighborhood.

We didn't have to look far, as Rozwell was lying on a display table right near the entrance! He is so cute and sniffed our hands and got a few pets. I didn't bug him too much as he seemed content to just nap. We learned that he is 20(!!!) years old and there is another shop cat that we didn't see. Moving on, this store is super cool. They have tons of interesting things including lots of crystals, clothing, accessories, gifts, jewelry, and more. The shop also has their production facility in the back. I wonder if they do tours! They are known for using actual manhole covers in Detroit to make prints on clothing, which I think is really cool and would make a great souvenir for any Detroit lover. I had a blast looking around at everything and loved some of the vintage prints on shirts, as well as what I assume are original designs. This is a great shop for finding a gift for the coolest person in your life, or for you, because you are cool. We bought a bag of Kitty Town coffee to take home and I'm excited to come back the next time I'm in town.

Went here today on a high school field trip. I walked in with my group, five girls and another…read moregroup who also had a chaperone of about six boys. All 9th grade kids. The kids were excited. They were trying on the sombreros, looking at the dresses, searapes and other various items. Were they loud? 100%. Were they being goofy? 100%. Were they rude, disrespectful or out of control? No. not at all. Never once did anyone from the store greet us, or say one word to us for that matter. After about 10 minutes a woman approached me, who I later found out was the owner, and told me that our time was up and we needed to leave "now". Obviously I was taken aback. She told me that the kids were being obnoxious and they picked up a pricing gun and were playing with it. I asked her if she had spoken to them. She had not. I asked if she talked to them upon arrival telling them to be careful and she said " I shouldn't have to". Now if this was my store, and I saw a school group coming in I might want to stop them at the door and remind them of my expectations on how to behave, what not to touch. perhaps I might only allow so many kids in at a time, etc. But this woman literally said nothing to us. She met us with a cold stare, ready to find fault. She said, these kids obviously have no intention to buy anything so they need to go "now" Which is strange because I didn't realize that's how stores worked. I thought we were allowed to browse whether or not we were purchasing. However, these kids did intend to buy but after her obnoxious behavior they ran out the door. She quickly followed them and as she got into her car she yelled at them "BYE AND NEVER COME BACK". The employee who was left in the store was super kind and explained to me that the woman was the owner and she gets very upset with school groups. Which Is wild to me because I can't imagine many people are coming down on a random Wednesday afternoon buying overpriced items that can be purchased elsewhere for much less. I'm planning a quinceanera for my daughter in September and we were looking for items to buy but I'm glad to know how this owner operates and we will no longer be visiting the store. Her actions were unreasonable, unprofessional and downright rude. So, no worries, store owner lady. We will definitely "never come back" and we will make sure all our friends know to do the same. * Was brought to my attention after the store owner left that in fact a small item had been broken. Which I paid for without question. Because that's how things work. Conversations are helpful (when they actually happen) and people respond well to reason and kindness

The shop has a lot of parking space so it was easy to access. There were so many unique figures, pots, clothings, and decorations.

The shop owner is very nice too and shared some information about the area.
