The woman who works there is the sweetest person ever. My friend bought a sweatshirt from a shop…read moredown the road, but saw a better one in this store. She went back to the store she bought the first sweatshirt, but they wouldn't let her return it. She was super sad, and when she came back to Beachcomber, the kind woman overheard the story and gave her the new sweatshirt for free. She is super kind and knows her products, marking them at a super duper reasonable price and choosing to sell things from companies (eg pura vita) that provide jobs to people in poverty in other countries. Everyone should stop by this store, and remember to spread the kindness that she showed my friend in your day-to-day life

Yeah, I'm good shopping elsewhere. The staff was friendly, I'll give them that, but even as someone that lives comfortably, I was shook by the prices.

A shack with…read more stuff The Glass Onion has been around for a while, at least a decade, maybe two. It was never a very impressive looking place and over the years it has deteriorated a bit. But that's all right, the wear just adds character to it. The first thing you notice is that it's small and very cramped. No AC in this place and on hot days it definitely gets stuffy. The inside has an old and exotic smell to it but combined with the salt air makes for a very pleasant experience. There isn't really enough room inside the small building so the stuff inside frequently overflows onto the street. The merchandise at The Glass Onion is eclectic to say the least. Different items and curiosities from around the world and from local Rhode Island artists and craft people. The inventory is always changing and every time you visit it is a new experience with cool clothes, shoes, jewelry, rugs, books, bags, soaps, baskets and strange and unique art all stuffed into the tiny edifice. The Glass Onion is definitely a store that marches to a different drummer. No attempt at luring people inside with pretty signs or slogans and just getting into the store can be a challenge at times. But once inside a unique adventure awaits. The Glass Onion is just a shack, but a very, very cool shack.
