The staff there were fairly friendly and helpful. I've bought a variety of things, including plates, soaps, silverware. Pretty much all of the purchases were worth the price. As a bit of an aside, it seems like Belmont Center is being hollowed out of local businesses. I just hope they're not replaced by soulless chain gangs, but I'm not optimistic.

Now the knife leaves interesting grooved marks on what is cut, too. I called to complain, the staffer got a bit defensive, and I then heard the Death Knell to my future business, "You can just bring it back...". NO!!! I cannot JUST stop my life and deal with parking to help them fix their bad job! When I hear "you can *just* come back..." so they can fix their mistake, they've lost me. Businesses: you take my money for a repair, you JUST get one chance to do it right!

This is a great shop to find unique gifts and they do gift-wrapping which is a plus. I find the salespeople to be friendly and eager to assist. I bought myself a Languiole cheese knife that I love. It was a nice addition to the charcuterie board I recently put together. I am returning to the store to buy two more....another for myself and the other one as a Christmas stocking stuffer. Never too early to start one's Christmas shopping, imo. If you're in the area, do check out this shop; I think you will be glad that you did.

Fantastic friendly and helpful staff. We loaded up on gourmet popcorn and seasonings, olive oils and vinegars, plus a serving tray, popcorn bucket, wine tote and god knows what else. Had to go back to the car to store it because it was too much to carry around. The upstairs section lets you taste maybe a hundred different types of oils and vinegars. They have serving suggestions and select recipes for the current season. They ahve things to serve them in (although the bottles themselves look very nice). Downstairs are the other kitchen items with special seasonings for everything you might want to serve, special things to serve them on, etc. etc. etc. We bought a popcorn bowl with a grate in the bottom for the uncooked kernels to fall through. We've used it several time in the first week home and it really works. The popcorn itself is delicious and the seasonings we bought for it make it even more so! I'm going to visit this store, and its sister store across the street, every time I'm in Vineyard Haven.
