We used to…read morecome here a LOT for a Masonic youth group and the Masonic temple is next door to this shop, but Albany has been making lots of improvements in the time since we were involved in all that and it was cool to see some of the changes made, including Ree + Rae's and Hole in the Wall Vintage. This shop was really cute and folks were quite friendly. I love that they had items from various vendors. I chose some really nice room/linen spray with a scent profile called Berry Balsam, which smells fantastic. I was expecting a far too overpowering botanical, since balsam is a pretty strong smell, but this is a great balance. I also got some coasters, really cute, that are crochet and they're shaped like sunflowers. Prices were so reasonable. You'll find lots of fun finds here, for yourself or gifts for others.

They took detailed photos of the ring before, which were included on the estimate and receipt, and gave a clear estimate of what to expect. This is after we dropped it off at a different shop in Albany to have two bands soldered together, where photos were not taken of the ring at drop off and he felt overall uneasy about that experience. I really felt like everyone was friendly and helpful!

About a year ago, I brought a ring in to Olufson to inquire about having it appraised. The sales…read moreassociate was nice, told me they don't do appraisals, and that they generally don't recommend an appraisal them unless you are planning on selling the ring (strange advice if you ask me. I wanted to have it appraised for insurance). I don't think she knew that I brought the ring in a year or two earlier to have the gem identified (it was an inherited ring and we didn't know what the gem was). And I was told at the time that it was a high quality gem with high quality diamonds on it. She offered to buy it on the spot for $388. I politely declined knowing that the ring was likely worth a lot more. I finally had it appraised and the replacement value is off the charts. I know that replacement/insurance value is not equal to a purchase/selling price AT ALL, but the gold alone is worth 10x what they offered me. So shady. I would never go back to Olufson after this. Moral of the story: Always ALWAYS get a second opinion. Never sell jewelry on the spot. And maybe avoid Olufson.

They have a very up to date and comprehensive collection of modern board games in their library to play (think Catan, Azul, and Ticket to Ride). The beer, cider, and wine options are good, but only in cans (Block 15, Two Towns, etc). The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. And the snacks are reasonable and practical as well. They have full bags of popcorn, pretzels, etc (like grocery store sized) so you can buy one and share. It's also open late enough to have time to get a game or two in. The daily fee is just $5 / person to play and gain use of the massive library. If you are new to town or just on your own, they have movies playing and a large selection of graphic novels to check out. They also host "Learn to Play" nights where you can learn a new game at meet other people. The owners are super nice and are always willing to help with rules for games and picking out games to play. Note: There is a membership fee that is waived if you are a student or if you are sponsored by a member. My advice is definitely go with a member and get sponsored to get that membership fee waived. Lastly, the games for purchase are more reasonable than most Local Friendly Game Stores and they have a surprisingly good selection given their small space. Overall, Gamagora is a great option for some evening entertainment and doing something different on a date night. I have had nothing but great experiences there and will definitely be going back regularly!
