There was a time when visiting a mall meant certain stores acted like foundations that other stores…read morewould pop up around. East Meets West is one such store. Whether it's this mall or Woodbridge, "East Meets West" is a fun store to visit. I generally go here to get incense but they have so much more than that. Their other offerings include various Hamsas you can hang up, crystals, rocks, sage kits, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, charms, dream catchers and more. It doesn't matter if you believe in the various spiritual beliefs represented by this store, some of this stuff is just pretty decor. The store is basically a rectangle with shelves and islands in the middle. The cashier is off to the right in the middle. The cashier I dealt with was super friendly and I saw her helping the customer before me with a great deal of patience. This store used to be on the first floor, but they moved up to the second floor and as part of that move they upgraded the decor a bit. There's a fun neon sign at the entrance and a gigantic dream catcher hangs in one window with other items. Before you even walk in the store front seems to promise a unique store experience in a mall mostly dominated by department stores and clothing shops. I wound up getting some "short" incense that were nicely priced (20 for $5 I believe). I also bought a sticker for $2. "East Meets West" is a classic part of the mall experience and I definitely recommend dropping by!

The ongoing pandemic has definitely taken a toll on a lot of businesses and public places since a…read moreconsumer's mindset to buy anything outside of essentials or to visit a public place like a park or beach, has crippled down significantly. Now by living with what has become the new normal, it is commendable on how these businesses and public places continue to remain open and cater to the general public by following the safety standards. It is now all the more important that we as customers, support these heroes during these dark hours to mankind. We wanted to get Diyas and dropped by this place as we had parked close by to go to a different restaurant. The place looked full of great collections and I pulled out my phone to click some pics for while my wife was busy looking out for the diyas. I was then intercepted by a guy in his 40's (probably the owner) who asked not to take pics in a stern voice and I politely responded that it was only for review purpose and stopped taking any more pics. But he was kind enough to direct us to the diyas that we came out to purchase and we were ready for checkout. Since the purchase amount was only $5 we were asked to pay cash as they don't take credit cards for lesser amounts. I'm not a cash person usually but luckily my wallet saved me from an embarrassment that day and I was able to pay and move out. It's totally fine for a store to have certain policies to protect their businesses but it's also important that they make it pronounced to their customers through notices or posters within the shop or the doorstep. PS- I'm not posting the few pictures that I had clicked, respecting the owner's ask.

He was very fair with the pricing and spent a good amount of time making sure we were comfortable with the price and the quality.

THANK YOU so much for helping us find some amazing favors for our wedding that are religious and will have a special place in everyone's home. Your customer service was phenomenal and I am so happy to have a place like yours to go to when I need anything pooja related. We also bought a beautiful Ganesh Plaque to put on the wall of our home and it is just incredible. Best place and pooja store by FAR!

I recently had both bowling shirts and birthday jerseys customized by EP Embroidery in Woodbridge,…read moreNJ, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Vinny did an amazing job from start to finish. The embroidery and customization were professionally done, the quality exceeded my expectations, and every detail was exactly as requested. The colors, lettering, and overall craftsmanship were outstanding. The birthday jersey for "Sassy Shay" came out absolutely beautiful and received so many compliments. The bowling shirts were equally impressive, with a clean, professional finish that made our team stand out. If you're looking for quality custom apparel and excellent customer service, I highly recommend EP Embroidery. Vinny takes pride in his work, and it definitely shows in the final product. I will definitely be returning for future custom projects! Karen D.

My mother is a seamstress and comes here regularly to get keepsakes that she makes embroidered…read more(wedding dresses, christening gowns, pillows, etc.) she has never had a bad experience. Today was my second time coming to Embroidery Place. I needed to get 3 Christmas stockings embroidered and a baby blanket. The guy behind the counter was helpful and quick. There are about 12 or more fonts you can choose from and maybe 20 font colors. You write what you want on a piece of paper and he shows you on his computer screen so that you can confirm spelling and font preference- this is great for making sure there are no mistakes! The items I was having embroidered were bought outside of this store, however you can purchase an assortment of basics from here. I believe they also do other personalization techniques like adding graphics and letters onto tshirts although I have never gone here for that, so I can't speak to the quality. The man told me he should be done within an hour (on a Sunday!) and my family and I went to eat and made another quick stop at a store, by the time we were finished, he was ready. The quality is great and exactly what I expected after seeing it on his computer screen. The pricing was a little higher than I expected, but reasonable, $12 per stocking and $15 for the baby blanket. I am happy with the end result and do not mind what I paid. People may say embroidery is easy because it's done by machine, but I've seen some bad embroidery at other places and haven't had any issues here! 4.5/5

New Market is a literal market and the owners allow many women and minority owned businesses to sell their products. The owners also have an event space around the corner where they host parties.

They do craft nights and I'd definitely recommend stopping in to shop and support the small businesses.

Someone from Church recommended E&E Flowers, and they hit it out of the park! Not only were they very understanding of my budget, but they were willing to accommodate my wishes and make small tweaks so that we could fit within the amount of funds I had allocated. They made gorgeous boutonnieres, corsages, bridesmaids bouquets, bridal bouquet, and my favorite of all, a stunning flower crown. My vision was to have a very whimsical, wildflower, not rigid bouquet. I also wanted to honor my Ukrainian in heritage and include bright yellow and blue flowers. Ed and his children made my dreams come true. I even received a complementary bouquet before my wedding. It was such a nice token of kindness, and I will definitely be coming back to them and recommending them in the future!
