There's definitely something for everyone, and you'll be hard-pressed to walk out without finding something you want to take home! And as if the shopping wasn't enough, there's a super cute coffee bar attached with delicious coffee, pastries, and treats. I tried their sugar-free vanilla syrup in my latte and was genuinely surprised by how good it was -- you'd never know it was sugar-free! The cold brew was also delicious and refreshing. There's also a coworking/flex space with tons of table seating, making it a great spot to work, meet with friends, or just hang out with a coffee. Definitely check out The Outpost -- shop, grab a coffee, and plan to spend some time browsing because there's a lot to see!

It was almost like going in a museum of local art. I had a chance to spend some time talking to the owner while there and it was inspired by her late sister who was a gifted artist. She had one piece of art left from her sister on display in the store. The owner is a former occupational therapist who decided to commit to pursuing a dream that will include art lessons and the art of cooking later this year. Less than a year old, this is a gem of a local owned business you must stop in and see if in town.
