The Spotted Goose is a cute children's clothing store with cute little accessories. However, I…read moredon't come here often or as my go-to place as they are extremely expensive. They do carry really good brands, but I'm not spending $50-$80 on just a sweat TOP. Yes I capitalized top because this is just the price for the top not the bottom included. For an entire sweat outfit it's like $100-$120 dollars, or one shirt (not matching tops and bottoms) is like $70-$80. I'm also not interested in spending $150 on 2-3 pieces that my daughter will only wear for like 2-3 months because she grew out of it. I like the best bang for my buck. I like to come here when I am looking for something specific for my daughter. Like, I just bought her 1st birthday picture outfits from here. They are adorable but once again expensive. I don't mind spending extra for pictures because it's a memory I will have forever and it's not often I'm spending $200 on 5 articles of clothing she'll grow out of. For a necklace, tutu, headband, bloomers, a plain pink shirt with ONE spelled out, and another headband the total came to be $198 (with tax). See my point, and out of all of this she can only wear the headbands and necklace again. Overall, The Spotted Goose has the cutest clothes and friendly staff but like I said they are more on the expensive side. I definitely pull them out of my pocket for special occasions.

Remember looking back at childhood photos, wondering what the heck your mom was thinking dressing…read moreyou in those clothes for picture day? It's because she didn't have The Spotted Goose. The Spotted Goose is a charming and somewhat eclectic children's boutique in the heart of Oakley. I walked in hoping to find a unique gift for my best friend's newest addition. I didn't leave disappointed! The only problem was that I had too many choices to choose from. Each piece was different, charming, and something I would love to unwrap someday. I walked in and was greeted by a friendly, helpful woman. I explained what I was looking for and she asked thoughtful questions, leading her to some recommendations. They had just gotten in a shipment of child snoods, a type of neck warmer you can pull up over your head like a hood. There were homemade baby teethers, sensory blankets, Ohio bibs, crocheted crowns, hand sewn moccasins chic outfits, patterned bloomers and of course, Sophie the Giraffe. How could I choose?!?! While I was trying to find the perfect gift, more mothers came in and their children were able to play in the colorful area in the back. There was a drawing table, books and plenty of activity space to keep them busy. What a cool place! Where was this store when I was a kid? I ended up selecting onesie stickers for the new mom to catalogue the changes of her little girl (and most likely post on facebook). They were a pattern I hadn't seen in chain stores, and that made me love them even more. In addition to being the cutest baby, her facebook album will also be the best. The wrapping was beautiful. They did free gift wrapping- white and silver polka dotted paper inside a cellophane bag, tied with a pink ribbon. I selected an adorable gift tag and cannot wait to give it to my friend. The sales woman was wonderful, welcoming and attentive to each customer. Oakley is lucky to have this gem and I cannot wait to return when my friends come to visit!

My husband went in to return a golf shirt I bought him for father's day. It was too small and he…read moredidn't really like it. It was returned within the 30 day window, with the receipt. He was told that they would not issue a credit because the tag was removed (eventhough it was in the bag). At the time of purchase I had asked about the return policy and was only told of the 30 days. No one pointed out that the entire policy was on the receipt in very small print. Iwas very upset about this. My husband did not take no for an answer. He stood outside the store and finally the 'manager' came out and said he would give him the credit. We will not ever purchase this brand again. It was way over priced at $128.00 but I thought it was worth it. I do not feel that way anymore.

The first that made this a must visit is that it is another black owned business in Cincinnati. We walked in and we were warmly greeted by all of the staff! Since the opening was just the week prior they were still unloading products but none the less they were ready to service us. I received a regular pedicure and my cousin received the jelly pedicure. The ambiance was cute, feminine and classy. The decor was super cute as well! In addition, they have a full service bar/lounge. And the music was a nice mix of current hits and throwbacks. The only things I could say that need improvement is having a service list posted or on hand that the techs can give to customers. If i has known there was a jelly pedicure option I would have gotten it. In addition, during my pedicure the water started to get cold just because they don't have bowls that have massage jets to keep the water circulating. Other than that no complaints! The techs are all nice and they take their time unlike other nail salons where they rush you out. I will be returning for sure!

Castle House is a cute kid's clothing boutique located in Hyde Park. They carry different types of…read morekid's clothing brands along with kid accessories (I.e. shoes, bows, ties, etc.). Like most kid's clothing boutiques, most of what they carry is expensive. I usually only come when I need something for a specific occasion. Also, a lot of their clothes are more of a dressy feel. They have a few outfits for casual wear but most are fancy. I come here when I need bows, dressy sweaters, dressy shoes, sandals, or other certain specifics. If I need a dress for a specific occasion I'll come here. I usually don't shop here just for everyday wear. However, their clothes are cute. The service is always very welcoming and accommodating. Super sweet people.

I wish I liked shopping here but every time I come in I am reminded why I don't. Cincinnati has…read moremore options these days and Castle House--a local original for kids clothes, and where my family bought my clothes as a child--won't last if they keep treating customers poorly. I even have a gift card and can't bring myself to stay long enough to spend it. The staff is cold and unkind and when my daughter respectfully picked up a stuffed animal to show me they acted odd and uncomfortable. She showed me another stuffed animal and the lady ushered my child over to a basket of toys saying "these are the toys you can play with". She wasn't playing with the stuffed animal, she was holding it out to me to see. You are in a family friendly neighborhood with many families walking around together for meals, shopping, etc. Do not sell children's toys if you don't want children to touch them. It is bizarre behavior, and reading the other reviews, seemingly not uncommon. I always feel confident taking my young daughter to nice stores, restaurants, and the like, but when I'm at Castle House I feel judged and like my business turns them off. Also, in terms of shopping their clothing, everything is organized by size, not item, which is very scattered and hard to shop--not to mention hard to find matching sibling outfits.

It has a great mix of departments all together in one place. Sections include makeup, clothing, home goods, a small furniture selection, a pet section, and a men's section, and more. The clothing selection is pretty big too. There are tons of options like dresses, long sleeves, short sleeves, coats, and a few skirts mixed in. The store almost feels like a perfect blend between Marshall's and HomeGoods. There isn't too much of any one category. They also have a seasonal section, although it was pretty picked over. One thing I always check when I'm here is the clearance on the end aisles. Honestly, every time I stop in I end up leaving with way more than I planned to buy.
