    Monsoon Market is a really cool little shop. It has that small town feel but with a clean, modern setup and a focus on healthy products. Everything inside looks thoughtfully chosen, and a lot of it leans toward wellness and natural living. They carry a great mix of items--things like healthy snacks and drinks, small batch jams, local handcrafted goods, and even a pretty impressive wine selection with some unique finds. You can tell they put effort into sourcing good stuff, not just random shelf fillers. There's also a small seating area where you can grab a drink, sit back, and enjoy the music. The whole place feels relaxed and inviting, not rushed or overly trendy. If you're in the area or just someone who likes health-conscious shops with local flair, this place is worth stopping by. I'll definitely be back.

    Been following this place on social media and finally had a day off to come in and check them out! Parking is easy as they have a lot right next to them. Walked in and was greeted by a worker and the numerous cute merchandise they have. So so many items to look at from candles, cookbooks, baggus, wine, candles, etc. I perused the store which had natural lighting coming through and was pretty empty for a Thursday morning. So many options, I had to tell myself only to buy 2 items. So many great wine options with notes attached to them with tasting notes, what to drink with, which as someone who is still a novice to wine, appreciated that. The nice worker even offered me some help and helped me narrow down to 2 wines. Walked out with a wine and the cutest tumbler! The wine (C.S.G) tasted incredible and fruity, which was perfect! Such a great shopping experience, I will most definitely be back to purchase gifts for friends/family or even a pick me up for myself.

    Monsoon Market is a hidden gem, filled with all kinds of weird and quirky food, beverages, wine, and gifts. The ambiance is moody and I love all the eye catching art. I spent a good 20minutes just browsing and taking it all in. I got a few recommendations from some people in there which included: Chai Masala cookie/crackers, peanut butter filled dates, cheese pizza flavored cheese puffs and a blackberry mint probiotic drink. Koral and Trish were super friendly and awesome. They told me about Strip Mall coffee shop that just opened next door that is owned by them too! I can't wait to come back for coffee and then browse around Monsoon. This would be a great place to shop for birthdays or Holidays, as there is something for everyone here.

    This place is so cool. It has a boho feel to it along with all of the cool local vendors and rare food, drink and home goods finds. The employee working there was so friendly and very chill. I came in looking for a specific healthy drink and found myself browsing all over from bars of soap to bags, stickers, home goods items and more. Check out my photos and you'll see the whole vibe for yourself.

    Literally one of the cutest, coolest places in Phx. They have so many great, local, handmade gifts! It's a small but mighty shop that you could spend so much time in. And believe me, you'll want to because it feels so inviting and inclusive. The owner/operator is a breath of fresh air that we need representing our town. This will be a regular spot for me for sure. It's important to support local, but especially when that local is awesome.

    If you didn't ask for anything, there's a good chance your Christmas present from me was from here. They have consumables from olive oil to candy to natural wine, with options for personal snacks and locally sourced gifts. I love stopping in for a good to go beverage after a workout class next door. Their aesthetic is trendy and contemporary, full of color and fun. They have cards and stationary, kitchen and shower accessories, and paraphernalia for those with a green thumb. Considering how the products are curated and sourced, the prices are reasonable. I also love that they do tastings and fun shopping events, with popups outside. It's a great addition to the neighborhood.

    The coolest, cutest local market with wine, snacks, and so many unique things for your home! This is the best place to buy gifts for your friends who you want to get something special for. The two local owners are absolutely amazing and have a coffee shop just as amazing in the corner of the strip mall called strip mall and their coffee and food is so so so good.

    So many wine options
    Stephanie M.

    They really have it ALL! Come ready to spend because you will want to buy EVERYTHING! Sometimes it's hard to find a bottle of wine that everyone will love, but the staff really go above and beyond to help you find what you're looking for! If you're looking to gift someone something truly unique, I highly recommend checking them out! They have fun, quirky items that you don't see everywhere!

    Such a cute shop with so many goodies, local and craft goods. From wine, canned drinks, pasta, bread, snacks, spices, to reusable totes, journals, bookmarks, cards and so much more. Plus they are really sweet! Check them out!

    Cutie local spot. Love the spotlight they shine on local goods. Best owners and staff and baggu selection. I get most gifts here, and anyone who visits has to come to Monsoon with me. They also offer the space for photoshoots because the vibes are immaculate. Check out their events!

    The non-food/wine products were really fun -- most interesting selection of Baggu I've seen, and just lots of fun stuff.

I had a very teeny tiny issue with a $12 product - probably the least expensive item in this Upscale (trying to be Upscale) store. For some reason the cashier called the owner at her home to discuss what to do. WHAT TO DO !!! ???? She was impatient and offered no help - wanted my cc # or whatever for a very unique product . I left with no credit, no refund, ZIP ZILCH. How about "no worries lets get you something else" THE RESPONSE elicits how a customer feels, responds, and maybe reviews on platforms that have a big influence on diners, shoppers etc. The owner called me out on my review saying I was threatening yelling, and scaring the employees. I am 70 and injured with a smashed shoulder, four broken ribs and a brain bleed. The last time I yelled at any employee was probably 1980. And I am harmless - never did that. The owner is a FIRE STARTER and would do better with people if she was an Amazon Warehouse worker and not a front facing small business owner. This is a bad ending and the fire will burn because she is a fire starter. BAD ENDING FOR HER and the fire is going to burn.

    While in Phoenix, I was on the hunt for postcards, and after going to one store that didn't have…read moreany, they suggested we try Changing Hands. Jackpot--they had exactly what I was looking for! First, I have to mention the book bar inside, First Draft. We didn't actually get a chance to go in, but I absolutely love the convenience of having a bookshop and bar together. And I especially love a good play on words, so if I'd had more time and hadn't had my teenager with me, I definitely would have checked it out! Anyway, I walked in and cut right to the chase, asking an employee where I could find the postcards. They pointed me in the right direction, and I found them immediately. We were on a bit of a time crunch, so I didn't get the chance to explore EVERYTHING they had, but I easily could have spent quite a while browsing the books, trinkets, gifts, and all the other fun things throughout the store. Then something caught my eye that I was SO excited about--the mini print vending machine! I had seen these on TikTok before, including ones in San Francisco, so finding one here was a really pleasant surprise. I dug around in my purse and managed to come up with enough quarters to get two prints. I absolutely loved the prints, and they made such a fun and affordable souvenir to bring home. It was one of those unexpected little finds that made the stop even better. My only complaint is that I didn't have more time to explore. I would have loved to browse the store longer and grab a drink at First Draft. Changing Hands is definitely a little gem in the Phoenix area, and I'm glad another store pointed me in their direction!

My sister and I had just visited their Tempe location and were delighted in how similar but different this Changing Hands was from Tempe's shop. Namely, this Changing Hands has a little area for coffee, booze, and bites. Just like the Tempe shop, they have an amazing selection of books and gift items and so much more. I find their prices to be so fair, especially for a fairly small indie bookshop--support small book sellers! We also loved that this shop has a tiny art print vending machine...think of the sticker machines from your childhood that traded quarters for stickers...but cooler!

The store is packed with any genre of sheet music and books (and TAB form) for every instrument you can imagine (banjo, dulcimer, mandolin, vocals, guitar, piano, brass instruments, woodwinds, etc all of them). They sell accessories such as guitar strings, tuners, straps, picks, music stands, and some acoustic guitars and banjos as well. Vinyl records and small musical gifts line the walls, it's so fun to explore and each time you visit you'll find something new, as there's so much selection. If there is something they don't have in stock, they will order it for you. The vibe is very relaxed and they are never pushy, you can look around for 30 min alone exploring if you want and just ask if you need anything. Love this place and can't recommend it enough, it's also a vintage store with history dating back to the 1950's so it has such cute charm and decor, it's an experience that online shopping can't give. I now purchase all my sheet music and guitar accessories from Central Music, support local!

We had three choices and price points, and I selected the "student" one which was the least expensive, and wow, this instrument sounds so much better and is in great shape! We were in and out of the shop in 20 minutes. The salesperson helping us was knowledgeable and friendly and we were able to find the accessories we needed as well (shoulder rest sponge and rosin). She's been playing it for 3 months with no issues and it doesn't go out of tune quickly like her cheap one. Billing is automatic and easy, with no mistakes. Such a great experience - we'll definitely be back when it's time to upgrade to the next one!
