2 North St, Salem“Today I dropped in with my 5 year old son for the potion making event around 2pm. I was initially a little worried when we walked in because it seemed to be a little girly, but the staff made him feel like he was a VIP. He had a blast making his potion!!!!! I forgot the staff members name, but she was amazing with my son. He has not stopped talking about making his potion.”

663 E Broadway, Boston“I love this store ! they have such high quality clothing! I buy my nephew clothing here for his birthday and the holidays. The people working here have always been so helpful as well!”
“This is the cutest most whimsical little cafe I've ever been to. The styling is cozy and nostalgic of an early 2000's cafe like you'd find at Borders (the book store, when they were open). I got a hot chocolate, one of my friends got tea, and the others got coffee, and they were all out of this world. It's absolutely worth stopping here on a sunday morning with a book or a friend to play chess with when the world is waking up outside.”

The owner and her mother who work together there are a dream and such a pleasure to shop with, they have helped me on countless occasions. ❤️❤️❤️”
“This shop is a gem in Roslindale! When possible, I tend to do most of my shopping locally. Spending money in there community ensures that is stays in the community.As the seasons change, so do the available items here. In the spring, I buy some seeds for the garden. The summer months have products more associated with that. As we head into autumn and winter, the focus shifts toward the holiday season. I always buy some Christmas gifts here for various family and friends.The store is always busy during Small Business Saturday and the holiday markets.They stock a variety of items such as cards, jewelry, home decor, clothing, and lots of localy-themed items such as coasters, towels, and glassware.Everyone who works there is extremely helpful and takes the time to talk with me. This is something that you generally don't get in a large chain store.In conclusion, this is a great store and comes highly recommended by me!”

“Lovely store. Lovely accessories. Just like Disney! Except that they sold an offensive snapback hat with a middle finger. Why is that type of clothing even in stock?”
“This was my very first time at a GameStop and it was a great experience. Lots of cool merchandise and the store is clean and well organized.
