It’s a cute little spice store, like many others. I always enjoy these types of stores. There was a «make your own vanilla» section, a himalaya salt section, and some other cool things. It’s overpriced, the way these places often are. Not as good of a selection or prices as a Penzey’s, but definitely a novelty shop. Great gifts if you’re visiting and want to bring something«local“home. However :I was turned off by the way the owner snapped at me for taking photos, saying that people often try to steal her interior design work. I find it very odd that a store would not want photos of their business out there– most try hard to get photos of their businesses advertised, since these days shoppers use photos on sites like this to help decide where to shop. My understanding is that the goal of a business is to get people to come into the store, and that most people have eyes. Also, there is a photo of the entire interior of her store on her facebook page, so it’s not being kept secret. Odd. She may disagree with any of this reasoning, which is fine. But the way she spoke to me felt rude and very high-horsey, and I did not appreciate being accused of trying to steal her interior design work when I was trying to help create a Unilocal page for a small local business. Because, you know, I support local businesses. And I didn’t even like the décor that much.
