    I ordered an item online as directed by store employees, because the item was out of stock in store. When I went onto the website, it was not available in store or online. I waited a few days and the item said it was available for in store pickup. I ordered the item near the end of November and a few days later I check to see the order status. It said it had been cancelled. I got no call, text, or email. So I reached out to customer service because the item was showing back in stock today for almost $80 more than what I originally paid. By the time their customer service got back to me they said the item was out of stock again and they were unable to help me. It’s very frustrating to get an order cancelled, the price goes up, and customer service is unwilling to help. What is this AI generated response email anyway? Unimpressed.

    This is the place to go for obscure foods, teas, coffee, chocolates, alcohol, all at reasonable prices. Upscale kitchen wares and home decor make this a place the wife will live and there is plenty to look at to keep the husband occupied, for a bit, anyway.

    One of my favorite stores. Always find something unique here. And they have the best smelling incense around, hands down! Staff is always friendly and professional.
