I know people might be nervous about buying food here, but I've done it for years. They have some of my favorite chips - mango habanero. They also have a great selection of pasta and it's all made in Italy. The price is better than at Eataly or Whole Foods. I love checking out the puzzles and the books - they have a good selection for kids books and you can always find a craft kit if that's your thing. Also, they have a ton of dog and cat stuff! Toys, clothes, and scratching posts. The service is always very friendly and the line usually goes by pretty fast. It def is longer on the weekend but if you plan to go early, you'll be in better shape. It's right next to the T stop too. Not sure why the reviews are under a 4! Come by and check it out for yourself, you won't be disappointed!

It's not a bad store, it's super cute and pretty clean, but I just had a bad experience here…read more One time I was there, there was 20 minutes until closing time and I was adding up some prices of what I picked out. It was at this point that I noticed I had accidentally got the wrong size in these pants I got, and I was about to just switch them out real quick before heading to the checkout. Then over the intercom thing they said "it is now 20 minutes until closing time, so please make your final selections and head to the checkout", and I was like ok perfect timing I just need to switch this and it's right here. But when I turned around to face the rack with the pants, there was a bunch of security guys kinda pushing everyone out. I was right in front of the rack, so I asked the guy who was blocking me from it if I could just switch out the size really quickly, and he firmly said "No. We're closed. You need to go to the checkout." and continued backing me up. So I was like "really I can't just switch it even tho it's right there?", and he said no so I gave up and went downstairs. Now, I do understand that places like to start closing up a little before their closing time so they can leave at that time, but there was 20 whole minutes until the store closed, there was a line at the checkout to wait in, and I just needed to simply switch the item for the correct size. Keep in mind, the rack with the pants was legitimately no more than 2 feet behind him. I felt like it was just so rude and unnecessary for him to not let me. Like why did it matter if I waited in line for 5 minutes, or switched out the pants I needed and waited in the line for 4 1/2 minutes ??? I could have easily switched them and then just been the last person in line, but he just didn't let me!! It was so disappointing!!! I ended up not getting the pants because they were a size too small so I just had to let the check out person take them. :((( Why couldn't I even say ok then I don't want them, and put them back on the rack behind him?? Idk I really don't get it. Then I came back when I was in the area about a month later and all of those pants were completely gone. I saw so many of the same items that were there before, but not the pants I wanted so badly. I can't find them online, or literally anywhere else on earth, which makes no sense. The staff had no idea why this was either/where they went. It's just so upsetting knowing I could have had these one of a kind (apparently?), cutest pants ever, but I can't all because this random security guy wanted to go home 10 seconds sooner. It's giving: how dare you make a mistake, get out! I'm now going to cry myself to sleep over these pants; thank you for listening to my rant.

However, the owner is the reason I refuse to spend any more money in this shop.

I've also seen the way she speaks to customers and staff and I refuse to reinforce someone's bad behavior with my hard-earned money. If you see this shop, keep on walking!

The shop is a consignment shop for high end labels and some normal labels such as Ann Taylor Loft. The owner, Wendy, is nice and helpful. I mentioned that I work part time at another high end retailer and she said she used to work at Neiman's. She was really helpful and gave me a card with the hiring manager at NM. Overall, my friend and I both got some items and there was plenty more to look at! They also carry (new) accessories and Butter nail polish. Will be back!
