I stopped in because last year I bought "witchy woman" beanie, and wanted something new and cute for the fall. I had my eye on bookish advent calendar. Unfortunately, the owner circled me like an eagle for my duration at the store, then stood at the entrance just staring at me. I have no idea what it is that I did to cause this reaction. I've been to the store plenty of times before and had positive experience. I also visit and know many vintage vendors in the area. The whole experience just didn't sit well with me. I decided to not purchase anything because this type of behavior shouldn't be supported. It was uncalled for and unpleasant. I won't be returning. CS Folk (formerly BB Folk) calls itself a general store. General store means that you'll find all kinds of goodies here - home decor, trendy clothing, food items, and accessories. The store is in the stretch of Ohio City that's known for its vintage and thrift stores. Go to this store especially when you want unique gifts. INVENTORY: The store's inventory includes lots of cool clothing merchandise from local makers. For instance, I found a very fitting "witchy woman" hat at this store. Other merchandise that always gets me excited see home decor and wall art. There is an expansive shelf with refined decor. Prices are pretty reasonable considering the uniqueness. SERVICE: I found all staff to be very chatty and friendly. Always welcoming atmosphere. PARKING: Find street parking along Lorain Avenue and in the surrounding streets. It never tends to be busy in the area. EVENTS: The store collaborates with its neighbors - Table for 2, Recreational Pots and Plants for sidewalk markets. They're always fun and involved plenty of local makers. I highly recommend visiting the next market. I always love wandering into this store and tend to gravitate toward beanies and clothing. I hope to drop in again next weekend to treat myself.

We had to stop in and take a look. Despite being a small store the amount of inventory was enormous. You could tell the owner has been buying/collecting for some time. I think he was actually looking at items to purchase when we were in the store. Although we didn't purchase anything on this trip we will definitely stop by again. There appeared to be many hard to find items and items that were very nostalgic. It was fun to look around. The prices seemed fair.

I finally visited this jewelry and boutique store on a Sunday in April 2023. They have limited hours and I can never visit during the week when I'm working so I'm glad that I finally came to visit. I believe I bought something small as a gift for someone when I originally visited but I can't remember as I'm writing this review over a year later. I didn't realise that Océanne opened a second store location in 2021 in the Pinecrest mall on the east side and they also now have a Westlake location (Crocker Park Mall) which opened in 2024. This first location in the Gordon Square neighbourhood of Cleveland opened in October 2017. ITEMS -- They sell various items from vegan nail polish, cute shirts and dresses, candles, mason jar cups, hats, books, sweaters, baby clothes, and of course, jewellery. Their jewellery is made right there, in-house. Customer service was wonderful when I first visited in April 2023 - the employee working answered my questions and she was very friendly. I visited recently again in December 2024 just to browse the store but I didn't buy anything. The Femme Libre (free woman) t-shirt looks cute. ABOUT THE OWNER -- "Born in southern France, Anne's journey led her to Cleveland in 2002, where she married Doc Harrill. In 2006, with her husband's support, she established Océanne, blending French elegance with the vibrancy of the American Midwest. Each meticulously crafted piece reflects Anne's commitment to craftsmanship, comfort, and functional beauty. From minimalist to whimsical designs, Océanne's jewelry is an expression of individuality, helping clientele look good, feel good, and do good. The brand gained popularity in Cleveland, leading to the opening of the Gordon Square storefront in 2017 and a second at Pinecrest in 2021." I can't wait to visit again and purchase a small piece of jewelry. **** GOAL of 365 reviews in 2025 - 13/365 total reviews in 2025 - 794 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 1 January 2025

But the Ahuja gift shop pleasantly surprised me. I cannot STAND when a hospital gift shop only gives you gift item choices that are full of reminders for someone that they're sick. But this gift shop seems to have thought about things that don't remind someone that they're sick. Yet if you want a teddy bear with a thermometer in its mouth, or a tacky helium balloon, you can still get those things, but its not your only option. They have a nice selection of beauty products, aromatherapy, clothes, accessories, magazines/books, cute art, toys, religious items, candy and baby gifts. When you enter, the staff is super happy to help you...and that makes a big differenece!
