Based on my wife's experience and opinion they seemed to have what a person shopping for their merchandise finds at reasonable prices.

When checking out the cashier didn't talk much, the only thing she said was that they had no bags whatsoever.

Either change employees or owners because this place used to be like my childhood dream spot but now it's a shame that it's gone downhill like this.

I stopped by for thread; however, I walked the entire store because I'm always looking for inspiration. I felt like I was constantly stepping over things and shelves were bare throughout the store. Fabric cutting and cashiers are generally polite, and I was able to find what I needed and actually picked up some fabric on sale as well. While I don't go in very often, I'll wait a while longer to see if things get cleaned up and return to the once upon a time, neat and tidy that it use to be.

The ladies in the store were so helpful and friendly! Terry checked me out and talked to my husband while I shopped. They have a fantastic amount of kits and fun fabrics for good prices.

The interior design could use some work except the little fireplace nook they have is super cute. They had a Christmas tree that was only half lit and decorated which was weird. We got coffees; two sunrise sandwiches and the potato soup in a bread bowl. Both the sandwiches were very good! Definitely a great spot for them and with any of the bread choices, which there are MANY! I'll absolutely come back for them! The bread bowl is just white bread which was disappointing as I thought they'd have a sourdough option. The bread was super doughy inside as if the soup had been sitting in it for hours or it wasn't baked all the way through and it tasted like it was missing salt maybe. The soup was fine, nothing great but not bad. Similar to what you may buy canned at the grocery store. The coffee didn't come out until we were about ready to leave which I expected as it seemed they had barely 2-3 people working at one time. If they did more bread bowl options, experimented with the soup flavors more (or start making it homemade if they buy it commercially), and redecorated, I'd 100% give this place 5 stars. Regardless, great place for sandwiches and coffee and I'll totally be back!

I discovered which I'm a big snob around the perfect Cinnamon roll I've ever had, which is a raspberry cinnamon roll. They also had a pumpkin one which I like but the raspberry is a cuddy above the rest. I think the best part about going in here is I feel like the staff treat us like family. A few people that stand out consistently are::Maddie, Rebecca, hope and juniper Jessica And the owner Don, of course. Thank you guys for always being consummate professionals and creating Joy whenever I come in and bringing a smile to my face in big ways and small. And it's not just about the incredibly yummy decadent flagrant yet down home raspberry cinnamon roll, but also your raspberry swirl bread is to die for as well as your blueberry crumble. Oh, and the Apple bread as well. I'm such a fan that my niece Kat bought me a gift certificate for Christmas and I can't wait to use it :)

We stayed downstairs in Kim's Forbidden City, which had a good amount of east Asian decorations. Nothing amazing, but a fun environment to sleep in. We couldn't block out all of the light with the provided curtains - a concern around the summer solstice - but slept just fine anyway. Breakfast was good, I particularly enjoyed the reindeer sausage. There was plenty to eat between eggs, sausage, cereal, muffins, etc. I particularly enjoyed browsing Joanna (the owner)'s complete set of Time/Life "The Old West" books. She had a garden out back that was nice to walk in as well. If you're car-less - it's about 1.5 miles from downtown, but check the bus schedules/map. We walked there, but caught a bus on 15th ave to get back.

Tragic. That is the only word I can think of when describing a place like the Northway Mall. This…read moreaging rundown mall was one of the premier shopping destinations during its hey-day in the 1980's. Businesses like Musicland, Chubby Chuckles (the better version of Chuck E. Cheese in my opinion as a kid), Safeway (before it merged with Carrs), and the original Orange Julius among others drew large crowds on the weekends. Now this place has the look of a post-apocalyptic zombie film with its dark, dimly lit corridors, empty storefronts, and drugged-out deadbeats off the street wandering aimlessly in the halls or sitting on the benches with blank stares. Actual shoppers are a rare sight in the hallways unless you go to larger stores like Carrs or the Burlington Coat Factory. There are some bright spots in the mall like Planet Fitness (which is a lot larger than the midtown location), Excalibur Sports behind the gym which is a great place to buy pro sports items like jerseys, flags, as well as tickets to sporting events anywhere in the country, and Hood Wings down the hallway which has a good selection of chicken wings on their menu if the craving hits. However, I can't shake the feeling that all these businesses are on borrowed time if the property owners won't make any effort to improve the mall and renovate it to attract new businesses and ultimately improve this part of town in the long run. Shoppers and diners are better off visiting the newer shopping center across the Glenn Highway next to Bass Pro Shops for a better leisure destination in the area.
