This store contains so many charming items, from earrings to apparel to stationery, etc! My mom and I popped into this store and I couldn't get enough. The staff members were really welcoming and helpful. Milagro promotes contactless payment (e.g. ApplePay). Everyone in the store was appropriately masked up as well, which allows the browsing experience to be that much more enjoyable. I ended up getting two adorable, perfectly-sized mugs. I'm sure I'll be back again soon to experience the magic that is Milagro. Thanks for a great experience!

One of the best experiences I've EVER had jewelry shopping, start to finish…read more My girlfriend and I had scheduled an engagement ring appointment for the Sunday before Christmas, as you can imagine this is a hectic time for retail stores and just life in general. When I tell you, Brilliant Earth and Zoe knocked me off my feet, I am not exaggerating. This experience from start to finish was exceptional. Zoe was EXTREMELY knowledgeable, professional, friendly, kind, and so much more. She made this experience absolutely amazing for us. Before our appointment, she reached out to touch base about our interests and likes / dislikes. Upon arrival, she was able to point out and show us all the pieces that aligned with our interests. She did show us other pieces as well, just to make sure we were given all of the options and we were able to mark those items off our lists. Any question we had, she had the answers. She did not make us feel dumb when asking even what may have seemed like a small, or silly question. She walked us through all of the steps and made sure to touch base on all of the aspects of the engagement ring buying process, some topics we didn't even think to touch base on before she brought them up. Zoe was extremely patient and so helpful during our appointment. She made sure we felt understood and heard, she prioritized our wants and needs. We were most interested in lab created diamonds for both of our rings, something in solitaire settings, and later on, more intricate wedding bands. She took her time when going through options with the 4 C's and again, answered any and all questions we had with confidence and clarity. Even after our appointment, I had a few follow up questions and needed help clarifying a few things and details, to no surprise, Zoe responded in a timely manner and was just as thorough and helpful through email, as she was in person. I am still so blown away and so impressed with her professionalism and true care and concern for us and our happiness during this appointment. She truly loves her job and takes pride in what she does. Zoe, thank you SO much for the best experience possible. Highly recommend Brilliant Earth for all of your engagement / wedding needs. Even if you're in the market for just some jewelry. Please ask for Zoe! You will NOT be disappointed. I will never recommend anywhere else again!! A++++ 5 star

I saw the boutique being spoken of on Facebook, and one of my friends said we should check it out that day, and we did. I fell in love with a lot of the merchandise, which clearly is one of a kind. The owner does not sell many of the same pieces, which I appreciate. The customer service was superb, and the owner is one of the most colorful people I will ever meet in my lifetime. If you are looking for something different and unique, the Dollhouse is the place to go. #HappyShopping

On the day that we went, there was a dj & serving pizza to the community. Dope! The owner is really nice too. They sell men's apparel, however most items seem to be unisex. I was looking for a hoodie (oversized, comfy, loungewear) but they were sold out of all xs sizes in the store. The owner said I'll order more and reach out & hold one for you when they arrive! Great! Definitely a great store and good on the prices. The hoodies I wanted were around $98. And I say the price is good because I know the quality is good. My husband has been shopping here for years and all his items are long wear/lasting. Anywho, today he picked up these cool shorts and a cap. (I'll probably wear his cap, lol). Anywho, check them out. I want to say that they aren't on social media. To me, that screams exclusive! Lol.

I visit for Preakness each year and boyfriend insists on stopping by to shop. I love the smell of good leather when you walk in. The shoes are impeccable and hand made. The belts are really superior, excellent quality and one of those accessories that are an investment that lasts forever. Service is white-glove, very gracious and professional. We typically spend at least an hour here looking at briefcases, shoes, belts, clothing and chatting with the salesman. It's just part of a lovely afternoon that we truly enjoy and look forward to. This bespoke shop for gentlemen will not disappoint.

AE makes classic and Americana-inspired styles that look sharp and last a long time. For business and smart casual wear, you will find something here that suits you. Shoes here are of the sewn, not glued variety. They are wardrobe investments that can be rebuilt several times over their lifetime. They are not inexpensive - $300-400 a pair is a fair ballpark. However, they run good sales several times a year that take $50-100 off those numbers, and the product is a significant step up from average. In addition, there is a limited selection of menswear - jackets, shirts, belts, accessories, leather goods. Some of these are offered in partnership with other well known labels such as Schott and William Wilson. My experience with the store was excellent. I had ordered a pair of boots online, before I realized there was now a retail location in town. They arrived, and appeared to be a previous return that had been accidentally re-shipped - they had obvious flaws. While looking up the return process online, I found the shop on President St. So, I took my boots there for their advice. Anup, the manager of the store, provided some of the best customer service I've had in recent memory. He cheerfully handled the exchange, the return shipping, and placed the replacement order while I browsed the rest of the store. He even took the time to verify my measurements and suggested a slight size adjustment, which worked out perfectly. It was also obvious that he was very enthusiastic about his business and product. So if you're looking for your first pair of genuinely good shoes, I can highly recommend Allen Edmonds. They provide excellent service, quality goods, and a reasonable price.
