Jeri deserves special recognition for her professionalism. She treats every customer with courtesy,…read morerespect, and consistency, regardless of what they are shopping for or spending. Andy is also a quiet but highly effective manager whose attention to detail and commitment to maintaining standards are evident throughout the store. He is personable, thorough, and clearly invested in creating the best possible shopping experience for customers. One manager frequently refers to customers as "friend." While I understand the intent may be to sound welcoming, I found the term disingenuous given my experience with this individual. Rather than feeling valued, I often felt marginalized during our interactions. Although I experienced a few unpleasant interactions with certain associates, including a former assistant manager and back room bullies, my more recent visits have been much more positive. It would also feel more inclusive if hiring at this store were more diverse to reflect a more balanced demographic. The store can become extremely busy during sales events. Unfortunately, this is a high crime area. I have witnessed instances of brazen shoplifting, including women loading baskets and running out the door with large quantities of merchandise. I hope the store's security systems and surveillance efforts help deter this behavior and catch these criminals.

This a a very cute shop with lots of interesting things you might not find elsewhere. However,…read morethey are cryptic about the return policy. There isn't one. You can only exchange for an item of equal or greater value. The policy is not easily visible at check-out (it is way on the other side of the register and relatively small), they provide a digital receipt (which you can only view after the fact), and the receipt does not say this. The returns tab is not working on their website. I accidentally bought a Baggu bag in the wrong size because it was stocked with the bags of the size I wanted. I tried to exchange the bag within a few days but they would not let me return for a refund and pointed to their exchange policy which was not easily seen while checking out. Therefore, I wound up purchasing a bag in the size I wanted and purchasing something else to make up the difference in price as they would not refund the difference. They were out of the pattern I wanted in the size I wanted. While this pattern was available elsewhere, since they would not refund, I was stuck with purchasing a pattern I did not like as much from them to use up the store credit. They ignored my advice to move the exchange policy where it could be more easily read by customers while checking out. I will no longer recommend this store to others or shop there myself.

The selection of individual stuff was a bit lacking but they did have a lot of stuff (for example, not a lot of Jellycat plushies or Ravensburger puzzles or Baggu bags but they managed to have these items). The candle/perfume and apothecary sections were heavily scented and honestly kind of sickening. Things are priced ABSURDLY here. I saw a shot glass for $200. It's a place to walk with friends & guffaw at the prices. Be careful walking around the glassware - one stumble could cost you thousands. I managed to purchase a bowl for $8, discounted because it was missing the chopsticks that accompany it, & the cashier ran after me after checkout to give me the chopsticks ($16) for free because she found them after I checked out. Great customer service.
