So I found this little gem by happen stance when I was looking for good coffee while in the area…read more It is right next to a very popular coffee/smoothie bar and I HIGHLY recommend you stop on in after you grab a smoothie or coffee. Locally made crafts/gifts/cards and the store is filled to the brim with lovely things! Good to note: If you put 50 Pleasant street Norwich in your GPS it will take you to the back of the building which is the wrong side. Go past pleasant st and the parking lot is on your left! Or search for Dexters smoothie and Coffee vault. The location is a little odd but definitely a hidden gem!

It's hard to walk away from this store coz it's so cute n adorable and evokes an interest just from the outside and makes you curious on what you may find inside... its quite small .. a hodgepodge of wonderful handmade crafts all made locally in CT... makes for a one of a kind gift... I bought some whimsical clips and rings for the kids and they weren't priced too high which makes it all the more wonderful.... hard to list what you can find coz there are just too many knick knacks but to give you an idea handmade greeting cards, seasonal items... earrings, lip balm holders, hand carved stone animals...you can spend a good lot of time if you enjoy things like this. Also, when you purchase goods from local artisans, you're supporting their business, which helps strengthen the local economy.

My concern and has no bearing anything will change is that the prices are really not reflective of the item! While there I did comparisons on line and for the same item for me is best to get it elsewhere. But, for the many I am sure price is no object. But I still like walking around to pass the time! Sorry it's not for me.

Their pies, especially the quiches, are as good as most homemade. I brought 3 quiches to a church breakfast, and they were such a hit, someone always gets them now. The apples are so good, I've been spoiled and don't buy supermarket ones ever. Same for pears. Barrel pickles. Their cookies were my husband's favorites. Fancy deserts are a bit pricy, but very good. Spring and summer plant selection is limited, but always top quality. Same for the produce. Delicious local dairy products -- try Sweet Grass Creamery milk! Salem Valley Farms ice cream. A lot of touristy goodies if you like that stuff. Staff always friendly and helpful.

Terrible, terrible service. I placed an order through Bloom Nation for this vendor, and asked to…read morereceive a phone call or email to confirm that the order was received. After five hours, no phone call or email was received, so I attempted to call the vendor (phone OUT OF SERVICE) and send an email (no response). I was concerned, having just forked over $200 to a business that I could not get in touch with, so I contacted Bloom Nation, who ALSO tried to get in touch with the vendor, to no avail. Finally a message was sent to me that the flowers were delivered, but no photo of the actual flowers was included, just the photo from the website. I had to call the funeral home and ask for THEM to confirm that the flowers were delivered. I still don't know what the flowers even looked like. Just a very unpleasant experience; I would NEVER use this florist again.

I did not appreciate her simplistic running commentary and unnecessary vigilance that conveyed her fear I would steal something. I never got to browse at my own pace. Secondly, she changes her store hours on whims that have found me making specific plans to be there only to have my plans promptly and unexpectedly dashed; Luckily I had called ahead on each occasion, pro forma. Glad I did. In all, there were three sets of store hours provided for one day. I had even left my phone number on my second call, but I did not hear back. She's lost my vote for good and I will not go back.
