The people that work there all appeared to be pretty friendly, and they helped us choose a nice coat that looked good and was sufficient for a night of skiing. Much appreciated!

I had coffee here yesterday before my half marathon. The door to get into the place was really…read moreneat. It looked like something out of a medieval castle. The coffee place inside Adventure Bound was cute. It was definitely pricy though. (It was just under $16.) I ordered a mocha and the employee made the foam into a heart shape. I ordered a croissant and it tasted like a plastic children's toy. It definitely doesn't taste like the croissants that I'm used to eating. I've never had macaroons before and they had a 3/$5 "deal." I ordered a chocolate one, a strawberry one, a latte one. I also ordered maple candy, which wasn't bad. I'm not a big fan of this restaurant. If I want coffee before my next Ellicottville Half Marathon, I'll hit up Katy's Cafe instead.

I've been itching to check out this store, and I'm really not sure why I never ventured in here sooner. Maybe it just wasn't the right time. This past year my urge to hike has kicked into overdrive and lately I've been all about outdoor activities - so going in here not only cured some boredom, but got me excited for the warmer months and getting back out on the trails. The shop shares a building with another business. Once you go up the steps and into the building, the shop is straight back (and pretty hard to miss with the signs!) This shop is pretty large, with everything and anything to fill your outdoor needs. Tons of apparel with popular outdoor brands like Carhartt, hiking boots, and other useful gear for camping and hiking. You can get snow shoes and chains here for your winter hikes, and there's even some gear for your dog! I only came in here for the socks but I also left with these cool fake "skipping stone" dog toys, and a double sided spoon/fork. Total score! Looking forward to returning in the summer to fulfill more of my hiking needs. P.S. I love my socks. They're stylish and keep my feet warm!

I must have written that review way before I gave myself enough time to decide if I liked the socks or not, but here I am 4 years later and I now EXCLUSIVELY WEAR DARN TOUGH SOCKS. Thank you, Aurora Outfitters, for turning me onto these wonderful socks. Also thank you, past tense me for clairvoyantly deciding to purchase said socks and change my life forever. But most of all, thank you, present me for having the courage to admit I was wrong and seek amends. (And an honorable mention also to Hannah K. for reminding me just how much of an oaf I really am)

I ordered custom q-zips for my groomsmen and koozies for our guests and they came out absolutely amazing! Watching my groomsmen open their gifts then wearing them throughout the weekend was a personal highlight for me. Every single koozie was gone by the end of the night, which in my opinion is rare from other weddings ive been to but the design was so awesome that people were asking to bring home to their family and friends. 10/10 customer service. I was lucky enough to work with Sean who walked me through the entire process and even overnighted the Koozies when I was getting a little worried about the timing because of my late ask. I will refer SL to all my family and friends moving forward!
