Always like going. Unfortunately its closing but for retirement which I am happy for the owner(s)

4 out of 5 Sandra C.

Went in to support the business owner as they are closing, the staff member working was extremely rude, the prices don't reflect the advertisement about the sales and the atmosphere just isn't the same, won't be sad to see this business close. Just feels unfortunate for the people that I've told to go check it out if they experience what I did.

A very unique and reasonably priced gift shop. I wanted a sign of Corbeil and it was made for me on the spot. A very pleasant shopping experience. We will return Summer of 2026
