The old lady at the desk immediately was rude upon arrival. They aren't a good browsing store. Fix the door, it swings too wide. Fix your bad attitude. Teenagers are treated like children. Adults are treated rudely as well. So many other antique places with better service to peruse. Overall 1/5 stars. I'm convinced this store will be closed within the year due to poor karma.

Janet is a wonderful person & shop keeper. Ii have never had a problem taking my 7 & 10 year old grandchildren in her shop. Maybe if everyone would teach their children/grandchildren to behave properly then there would never be a problem. Don't project onto Janet because of your lack of parenting skills! She actually loves interacting with my grandchildren who are well mannered and polite. I love visiting with her every chance I get. I have bought some items from her on several occasions and she has always been very pleasant. Great lady! Great shop! Great job! I look forward to visiting with you many more times. Dan Bell

Janet is a wonderful woman. Always super & friendly. People who complain about children being asked to keep their hands off of merchandise should learn how to raise children to respect other people's belongings. I take my 6 & 10 year old grandchildren in there all the time & tell them to keep their hands in their pockets. We respect Janet's business and have never had anything resembling rude behavior. My grandchildren love going in and interacting with Janet ! Seems like people need to take parenting classes & not blame a shop keeper for trying to protect their investment. Keep up the good work Janet. I enjoy coming to visit your shop !

I had the best experience! I moved to the area about 6 months ago and I’m sad it took me so long to stop by but I’m so glad I did! I found some beautiful new pieces as well as some fun vintage campaign buttons(my favorite) and had the best conversation with Janet! She was so kind and personable! I know I will be visiting for years to come! ❤️

Hi! I love Sample Pleasures! Great selection and Janet is great! She even offered to be on the look out for a specific type of glass to bring into the store for my mom. Also I think the idea to give a FREE toy to kids for not touching stuff in her store is GENIUS. I'm a former nanny from Los Angeles visiting my parents in FBranch and this current parenting style of "my kids can do anything they want even if it's your property" is nauseating and idiotic. It's an antique store, people. She sells delicate stuff. Get the kids an ice cream and an iPad (cause you know you addicted them to it lol) and sit them outside while you shop if they can't follow rules. Show some respect. Janet, you keep on keepin' on and don't let these dorky parents push you around

The stuff is way overpriced and the owner is extremely picky about touching things. Don't go if you have children.

Aside from being located in the cutest and quaint Main Street location, Janet has created a very curated shopping experience with such a variety of goods ranging from local art, larger furniture pieces and even jewelry. Definitely a place to stop by when in town and in search of something that cements her place in the quirky and cool book.

Im really new to this area and decided to take my 8 year old for a walk we when in to sample pleasures as soon as we walk in this rude lady apparently the owner started giving my daughter a sermon about not touching and to keep her hands in her pocket and she will get a prize long story short we started walking to see what we could find but I started to feel like we where being watch like we were going to steal something. I’m a Mexican American and I was being watch and the rest of the people there where not I personally felt I was being racially profiled.. as we were leaving my daughter stop at the counter to see if she was going to get a prize .. this mean so called owner had the audacity to say to a 8 year old “adios “ I took that as bad humor joke I told my daughter let’s go .. the lady started saying a Dios and laughing! Never will I ever go and spend my money at such a place not like they got good things anyways

Such a wonderful, unique antique shop! The owner is such a sweet lady and chatted with me about antiques that she was selling and that I own, answered all the questions I had. She was so patient and brought out all the items I was interested in that was in the display case. She always has super cute and quirky knick knacks at the register, which are my favorite kind of items to shop for at antique stores. Pricing was good as well. I bought a very cool pocket knife this time. Will definitely be going back in the near future.

It’s always a pleasure to stop in at Sample Pleasures. I’m always welcomed by the owner to browse. There is a lot to choose from and the owner always provides me with good ideas and suggestions for what I’m looking for. I also love the convenience of their location in downtown Flowery Branch. I was very happy with my found treasures today and look forward to browsing and shopping again soon. A visit worth your while!
