Had no…read moreexpectations because, like I said, it was cold, they were the closest place to take shelter and I saw a coffee bar. Anyway, since then I've been back 3 more times; once for breakfast and twice for brunch. And while I'm confessing, the two times for lunch were on subsequent days. Yeah, they're that good. Actually, their chicken salad on a croissant is the best I've ever had and in my advanced years I've had a crapload of chicken salad. The have a nice sized coffee bar, decorated beautifully with some pretty delicious looking pastries. I'm on an anti-sweet phase so I'm basing my opinion on only on appearance. Then there's a seating area when you can eat, served by a friendly attentive staff and an adjacent boutique area where you can purchase housewares, clothing and other cool stuff. I'm not in Maplewood all that often, generally when I'm shopping at the equally awesome City Workshop but when I do, I always make sure to hit up Perch. You should too. 1/2 star deduction because they don't offer fake sugar, just that Stevia crap which is gross.

There were literally 4 people sitting around when I walked in the store. Not a single one got out of their seats to ask me if I needed help. The only woman who greeted me was working with another customer. So I basically walked out after being ignored for 5 minutes. They had some decent looking pieces but I will never spend money with a company where the service is poor. It speaks to the quality of the culture and that generally also has an impact of the quality of the product too.

Attempted to purchase lamps today....Restaurants are open at 100%. Schools are back in…read moresession....but Serena and Lily is open by appointment only. After three phone calls and fifteen minutes standing on the sidewalk (after a 45 minute trip to get there), the ladies agreed to let us stand in the lobby because "the other lovely lady was good enough to make an appointment and we are committed to keeping her safe". Give me a break. One customer in your store at at time? If it's lighting you're looking for, lots of retailers sell Regina Andrews and Ro Sham Beaux. I left, deeply offended at the way we were spoken to and uncomfortable to be treated like COVID patient zero. I purchased my lighting in person today at a smaller store where my business was appreciated. Rude. Neurotic. No customer service skills whatsoever. Good luck.

I didn't want to just let it go since I really liked it's look and how turning it on was activated by a floor switch is unique. I brought in the lamp and the techs looked it over described what appeared to happen - where the break was, the condition of the cord, the hinge and the adjuster. They seemed to know what they were talking about as they went on to describe to me what they were going to do to repair it. They quoted me and gave me about a week of time to do the job. The followed up with me and called when the lamp was ready. After picking up the lamp I am very pleased with the job, they made it so the lamp can be adjusted as I tried to do before breaking it, albeit I have to be careful as it never really was meant to be adjusted. So if you have an antique-y lamp or light device or just a lamp you like in general that needs service try here. My price I felt was fair but hear they can run high on some of their repairs, but there aren't a whole lot of places like this either. I can say though, they did a good job with my lamp.

That's on me for not pushing the matter. It ended up being 50% more than stated, partially because she also didn't note the type of fixture I had and picked the wrong one. That's on her, she's the lamp expert, not me! Basically if you use them, make sure they are precise and accurate with you. I won't be going back after this experience.

Let me add to the other horrible review of this place. Where do I even start. Oh, my first call…read morethere. I called to have someone come to my house and see what I could do for window treatments. They came to my friends house up the street and really helped her. Well Anna wouldn't come to me. She insisted I come to her store in Short Hills. I did want to take advantage of the "sale" and didn't want to waste time, so not only did I agree to go to her store during my work day and miss work, but I even changed the time the day of to make it convenient for her. She was helpful there and we got through what we needed. I got a quote. Negotiated a bit, got me a better price. Still way more expensive then other places, but I was hoping for better service. Guy came the next week. Measured. I had to stay home and miss the morning of work - yes miss more work- because he would only come between 10:30 and 3. Not convenient. But whatever. Then the quote changes to an extra 400$. Now the place is WAY OVER PRICED. Anna said it was because it was an outside mount. However, in the store I gave the correct measurements, but she didn't add on enough for an outside mount. How is that my fault? Or ask where I measured? Warn me even? No, nothing. Then they just cancelled my order, returning my full deposit because they didn't like that I complained about this. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else. I hardly write bad reviews, but I couldn't let these people get away with this The one good review that got posted the day after mine (because I told them I was posting a bad review) is a person that only has 1 review on all of Yelp.
