The owner and staff made my daughter feel so special and listened to what she was looking for. They recommended a few dresses and were spot on with what would look good on her. They even showed her some costume jewelry & a purse that was quite reasonable and that she fell in love with. We ended up getting everything done in one stop. The friend said she wished she hadn't gotten her dress already! We are heading back there for winter ball and it makes me wish I had an event so I could shop too. They do track what dresses have been purchased for what event also. Excellent service!

The person behind the register didn't acknowledge us or even ask if we needed help. He was too busy on the phone. They had a lot of sales going on & the merch looked valuable for the price!

The prices are pretty reasonable especially for what you're getting and the ladies were pretty nice even though I think the young one was a little upset that we asked to feel the heaviness of the money clip.

I found two great Foxcroft button down shirts, perfect for work, on sale for $37! The owner was very friendly and we got to talking about where I was visiting from, West Hartford, and she happened to have grown up there. She also shared a lot about the cute new spring items she had just ordered from her recent purchasing trip to New York. I look forward to seeing the cute styles she described on my next day trip down to Essex!

We never thought "Stonewear" suited this gem of a shop, stocked with some of our favorite labels like Velvet tees, 360 Cashmere, the original French striped boatnecks by St. James, Yoga Jeans, a strong selection of bags and, particularly indispensable on unpredictable summer nights, these one-size-fits-all whisper weight cashmere ponchos that are just the ticket to throw over a summery shift

**Review is for sandals/flip flops only.** I love my very…read morecute Eliza B flip flops/sandals, which are handmade in Essex, CT - yes, they truly are handmade in the USA! Main points: 1) Style: Classic and timeless... You usually find Eliza B's in small shops in resort areas or you can call the company or buy online. Online offers myriad choices, such as buying their designs or creating your own. Choices include flat or wedge flip flops with striped ribbons or motifs like crabs, whales or anchors. You can buy monogramed sandals, seersucker or gingham, or all-leather sandals in many colors. The belts are so so pretty too! (Look at their website.) 2) Value: LeatherMan/Eliza B makes quality products and fully stands behind them. My Eliza B's are still pretty and comfy after 3 or 4 years of heavy use when I lived in Carolina, but then, they are NOT made of plastic, nylon and cheap rubber! I last ordered in spring of last year and paid $48 plus shipping. 3) Size: the sandals run SMALL so you often need to size up one full size. Yet I'm a size 7.5 and wear a size 8 in Eliza Bs. Sooo, try on a pair at a store that sells them or measure your foot and call the company for sizing help. One thing: the sandal straps grip the sides of your feet - they're not loose at all - and they won't fly off your feet at a pool or get wedged under a gas pedal. 4) Customer service: I didn't give this company 5 stars because of "phone attitude." We've given them plenty of business over many years, but some of the employees are abrupt, unfriendly and rude. That's unfortunate because most customers are loyal. (Also, the shipping is a few dollars too high, $9 or 10) That aside, you place an order and often wait a few weeks to receive it, which seems reasonable considering you're receiving a handmade product. Go USA!!

There's a sampling table in the center of the store and you can smell and try everything they have. I really appreciated this because I'm very picky about my scents. I can't stand things that are too strong or too floral. All the products were reasonably priced and I picked up a body lotion and body lotion stick. I love the subtle notes of ocean and beach in the scene that I picked.

What a great little store with lovely handmade bars of soaps, shampoos, conditioners, hand soaps,…read moremists, and more by our hotel! I love any store that supports local, small businesses, and Main Street Soap Emporium is just that. I love getting unique and local gifts whenever hubby and I travel, and we decided to do the bulk of our shopping here while staying in Mystic. Think of this place as a more environmentally friendly and personable Bath and Body Works. The shabby chic decor is more than appealing to the overall coastal and nautical vibes you already feel walking around town. The white washed shelving give you the feeling that your are perusing through someone's home. Can't decide if a scent is too strong or not what you're looking for? There are testers on every table, and! you can even wash your hands with the soaps to feel how they feel on your hands and how they wash off! How useful is that? This was so helpful for us when purchasing for our family and friends. Prices are more than affordable ($12 per hand liquid soap) and you can get all your shopping and souvenirs done all under one roof. Convenient much? Very much worth the visit! Cash and credit welcome!
