Canopy Roads Brewing, who we featured graciously at our Elite Event at Lucky Goat Coffee in November are slated to open a space here. Dreamland BBQ, an Italian multi-restaurant and an Urban Food Market are destined to open in the coming months. And a music venue, too!! Steve Miller Band (who is awesome live, even for a man in his 70s) will be performing the inaugural concert at the Pavilion in late July. Cheers to a brand-spanking new Tallahassee Mall, ahem, Centre of Tallahassee! I have to stop doing that...

I promised myself that I wasn't going to go to the mall before the renovations were finished... But…read moreI had 10 mins to kill on that side of town and stopped in to Burlington Coat Factory to get a peep at the (former) food court, see my photos. I'm excited to see the finished product. Burlington has had significant renovations already and has tons more floor space (new layout). Don't even get me started on the amazing deals I got on light blocking drapes (set of 2, 84" for $12!!!). Color me excited. Can't wait!

Small cute boutique near many restaurants and other shops. They have two entrances, front or back…read more Lot's of parking but does get crowded if during a visit time/day. I have passed by many times however today was the first time I actually had time to check it out. Many different casual/dressy/athletic outfits. They also sell some accessories and have an area that has a lot of Florida teams/schools. The ladies were very attentive, helpful and friendly. I was able to take my time browsing. They have two spacious fitting rooms, they also informed me that they will be getting new items next month which is great. I found a cute top and dress which I wasn't even expecting but they were on sale! I will definitely be back here soon!

Ironically, I am wearing a shirt I bought from Olde Fields as I write this review. It was my first…read morepiece of FSU "merchandise" that I bought when I moved to Tallahassee. This isn't your typical Nole or Rattler gear. It's a little quirky and fun and sometimes the shirts and tank tops have crass and profane sayings on them, but they're really cool alternatives. The store itself is organized pretty well. They also sell a variety of sunglasses and other clothing like a regular boutique. They have quite the selection of vintage pieces and home decor too! The people working there always are very friendly and seem willing to help. I hope they eventually have some sort of sale so I have an excuse to browse in there without feeling awful for not buying anything. Prices can be a little steep but I assume that's because they hand print a good amount of their tops.

I feel like this store is trying to pass itself off as vintage/eclectic, but is selling FSU…read moremerchandise? I admit that the FSU clothing is more subtle (no giant letters, more artsy and imagery), which is why I'm reviewing this place to begin with. However, I wouldn't go out of my way to stop by here as it was quite bare/sparse when I visited. A meh store gets a meh review.

One of the best new women's clothing boutiques in town. Reasonably priced! Chic, eclectic styles…read more If you are tired of shopping at old navy and the gap like every other clone in America, spend 10 dollars more and buy pieces that everyone else won't have! These are not clothes for the meek, some styles are out there, but thats what I love about it. Just keep the sorority girls away and I'm ok.

Many years ago Leon County got smart and bought this former Food Lion (boo!) shopping center…read moreinstead of building a stand alone library and community center. It's been a great marriage ever since. There's a branch library, community center and a Tax Collector/Tag/Driver License office. There's a Starbucks on the perimeter. A fitness center, nails, massage and a church. Country Kitchen is there too. The former Asian take out place will soon be a Mexican restaurant. I keep hoping that the remaining empty spaces will become more restaurants but we shall see. The parking lot is a relatively easy in and out and there is plenty of parking. There is a Taltran bus stop with cover and a flex bus option is available to get you to this hub. You just have to call them in advance to schedule a ride. For those taking the driving test there is a marked parking space that sees a lot of drivers practicing.

I went in to check out their recent end of season sale, and was immediately impressed with the personal service and advice they provided. With on-site tailoring and input on size, selection and accessories, I walked out with not only a top label suit, but shirts and ties to wear with the suit. Not to mention while there, a top 5 NFL draft pick came in to pickup his suit for the upcoming NFL draft. They treated me just as well as they treated him.

We rented two formal men's suits in Tampa and had them delivered to Nic's. We received nothing but…read moreproblems from Nic's. They charged the groom over $600 again for the suits even though we had fully paid in Tampa and it was marked as paid. Adam was a horrible respresentative from Nic's. He gave our entire rental party a hard time and even tried to have us get the refund from our formal attire company in Tampa therefore stealing the money from the Tampa store who did all the work. Terrible company! In the end, they did give the groom back his money after going through the suit vendor. Do not do business with this company if you are having a wedding. They will delay your attire at the last minute. Poor customer service and definitely not the business they say they are.

I am absolutely obsessed with Sparkle Tallahassee! They have the cutest stuff, and everything is…read moresuch great quality. I've shopped online before, but since I was in Tallahassee, I had to stop in and see the store for myself and wow, I'm so glad I did! Walking into Sparkle felt like my own version of Disney World. The store is just as adorable as the clothes, and every detail is so thoughtfully done. The staff is incredibly sweet and welcoming and Ruby was especially amazing! She was not only adorable but also so helpful, made excellent recommendations and made the whole experience even more fun. From the moment you walk in, you feel like family, not just a customer. They go above and beyond to make you comfortable, even offering a "dirty soda" bar, which is such a fun and unique touch! I love supporting local businesses, and Sparkle truly stands out. Huge thank you to Ashley and her team for creating such a beautiful, welcoming space. I'll definitely be back for more!

I sent another email politely asking them to reconsider and they never replied to me. No one has reached out trying to make the situation right. I'm disappointed and won't shop here anymore if this is what they think an acceptable experience is like for their customers.
