Loved the large gift shop where we got a hardhat for the kiddo, and some other fun magnets. During the low season, their indoor cafe was not open.

Hello Carlsbad Caverns visitors!…read more Okay goofballs, this is business page is not for reviews of the national park or the visitor's center. It's for the trading company. When you exit the caverns through the elevators, you are led to a bookstore with limited gift items. I appreciate the books and a few other goods they sell there, but if you want a larger variety... exit the bookstore. Take a left and the Carlsbad Caverns Trading gift shop and grill are past the informational displays at the end of the building! The same trading company supposedly has an "Underground Lunchroom" plus a smaller gift shop, but I haven't seen it open in recent years. There is some cool stuff here. T-shirts. Hoodies. Gemstones & rocks. Jewelry. Koozies. Nicer items than what the bookstore sells. But as my 9 & 10-year-olds learned inflation did not skip over this desert bat country. Seems they got a bit stingy when it's THEIR money to spend. Lol. There's also a cafe/grill. I convinced my daughters that there was better food with less background noise at a place I wanted to hit in town. That became true. The two employees working on 4/27/2024 were so patient and pleasant to be around. Not like some of the customers! Some of the same visitors really wrecked the kid's toy section. Other goods were short in supply - hence my lower rating, but hey if you're going to have the place short-staffed on the busiest day of the week then it's fairly easy to see where the priorities are.

Great Gift Shop, bought all the car decals. Restaurant has good food. Friendly Staff.read more

It's not like there are a ton of shopping choices in Hobbs, America…read more Kountry Korral Boutique was around when I lived in this Southeastern New Mexico town many years ago, and it's still surviving the ups and downs of the oil and gas economy that Hobbs depends on as well as COVID-19. I miss the Tea Room that once was next door, but now it is a different cafe... Outlaw Grill or something. My uncle really enjoyed his ginormous, overpriced green chile burger there recently. I haven't partaken, but back to the boutique... This place offers baby and wedding registries. Many of the items are fairly unique. The clothes, in my humble opinion, are simply overpriced and more geared to more mature ladies. ;) Definitely not my styles or fit. The staff members always have the place open! They rarely IF AT ALL close to set up for Christmas debuts like *cough cough* another place *Horsefeathers* did when I was mostly recently shopping (10/28/20). That's why they get my full 5 star love. TIPS + love their little lotions by "Camille" (tiny jar $1.50)... rare that I see my middle name on anything let alone boutique items + they have GOOD aromatherapy roll-ons ($12 each)! #ThankYouThursday

Sometimes they also sell Hobbs High Eagles shirts. This shop is also is home to other businesses: a tea and coffee bar, Unity SoBar (@unitysobar), a live screen printing t-shirt company, Ink Works (@inkworkshobbs), and a customized hat company, Sinjed (@sinjed_). The lady who runs the place is super friendly and helpful. If you need a gift wrapped, they'll take care of it for you. I recently (9/14/2022) picked out this adorable gold chain necklace with a moon sliver and a star for my mother-in-law's birthday ($48). She loved it as she has never owned anything like it.

You almost think it's a junk shop, but if you really take time to look around there is a bunch of cool and high quality stuff. They have the greatest selection of candles. Strange, but it's true. There are a lot of little trinkets as well as things like jewelry and decorations for different occasions. They also have a food section with a lot of New Mexico style foods. Like you can buy chili powders, soup mixes, that sort of thing. And of course they have the requisite chili decorator items, which are everywhere in New Mexico. If you have some time to kill, this is a cool place to check out.
