Fortunately I made a point to add this place to my travel agenda. Didn't disappoint. We bought a few items here and hauled it back to Texas. I certainly return it if I was in the area

Costume jewelry! Handbags! Scarves! Oh my! :)…read more How in the world does a town like Pella end up with so many great accessories shops? Pella women are very lucky! I didn't purchase anything this trip but I normally buy a piece or two with each visit. They have plenty of sub $30 items to snazz up your wardrobe. Hop across the aisle to Gallerie to see their higher end jewelry (made my local artists). Most everything at this store is your standard factory made costume jewelry, but the selection is just awesome.

We popped into Best of Thymes while milling about in downtown Pella. We are suckers for cooking…read morestores and what not. The store is small (as is expected for a small town downtown shop) but packed to the gills with cooking wares, utensils, food and more. For such a small place it really had a nice little selection of things. There were lots of cheese ball mixes, drink mixes, holiday treats (as it was December) to go with cooking pans, utensils, dinner ware, etc. Really, for a small town, this was a pretty cool little store. This is really the store to go if you have friends or family that like to cook and you need gifts for them. Small but cool selection for lovers of cooking, baking and entertaining.

They were very careless with a friend's gift registry and the person got numerous multiple items…read more When the friend went to return the store was nice but would only give story credit which is not at all helpful to those who live out of town. I would say that it is best to avoid registering there or buying from a registry.

He has a strong knowledge of books ranging from non-fiction topics such as baseball or theology to his fiction and children's books. If you're looking for something, it's a good chance he knows about it, and a decent chance be has it. The store is extremely cluttered, and frankly, if he does have a book you ask for, I'm not confident he could find it in a timely manner. Just boxes upon boxes of books everywhere. It's extremely overwhelming. His prices aren't the best, either. While he's not gouging you, many books I've picked up aren't in good enough shape to justify selling at a "like new" pricepoint (where most his prices tend to lie). There's certainly not a better bookshop in the area, and he's got the options. I just wish he'd clean it up.

Great customer service, large selection, and god location. Would definitely recommend this store.read more
