The guy working was very nice too and made conversation. The only reason I took a star off is because they rounded up my total for a donation without asking or explaining what it was for.

The pricing here isn't too bad and it's quite comparable to the other places we stopped into. I was truly expecting it to be super expensive because of the location. People were super nice when we walked in, greeting us and making sure we didn't need any help.

Everything in the shop is nicely organized and prices are clearly labeled. I bought some Boston stickers, a post card, and body lotion from Farm+Sea, a small batch candle and fragrance company based in Amesbury, MA. The employee was very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend stopping by here if you're in the area whether you're a local or a tourist.

They had everything from cards to bags to Boston souvenirs to hand towels to seasonal items. They have something for everyone. It's on the smaller side so on the weekends it does get crowded.

On Saturdays, the farmer's market happens on the street right outside of the public market so you can purchase fresh produce at great prices ($0.99 for a pint of raspberries!!) However things don't stay open late so it's more of a place to visit during lunch. Also, prices for food are a bit on the higher end. A fun stop to buy some goodies and have a look around at what local vendors have to offer.

Not only do they have a dizzying array of gifts small and large, they also stock anything you need as far as kitchen utensils, candles, greeting cards, charming and unique knick knacks and countless other items too numerous to mention here. Pair that with amazing customer service and salesmanship either by phone from Ms. Angela or in person from Ms. Arielle, the staff is top-notch. (apologies if I mispelled, Ms. Ari;-) Y'all definitely have to come and have a look around. I plan on coming back in the near future for a more leisurely browse through soon

Best selection of knives. Was really excited to discover this store, and see that they take knives…read moreseriously. In Downtown LA there is a fantastic store that has an insane number of knives... maybe too many. This store claims that they they have the biggest selection of knives in New England. I feel like they have enough good knives to have a varied enough selection for different preferences, but yet not overwhelming their customers with too many choices. I got a great bread knife that I'm really happy with recently. It's just the right weight (not to light) and has a really comfortable grip and an "elegant" length. It makes cutting breads really smooth and easy to cut very thin slices. It is apparently their best bread knife, and at $150, I think the price is right. Despite being on Beacon Hill, I don't feel that their prices are high or unreasonable, but just right. The store is fun to browse through for many other kitchen or cooking supplies or gifts. As a well-stocked mom and pop store it has that quality of surprise at finding something you never thought about. The personnel is also very helpful. I've been there a couple times and they seem to be knowledgeable and willing to help, to explain things and answer questions. They have personal experience with the things they sell.
