AKAR

The art pottery selection is out of this world. I wanted to take half of it home. The space is lovely, the gift half is the store fun and fill of unique items that will tempt you to take something home for many friends and family members. The staff offered my 11-year-old hot chocolate when we arrived on a snowy day, many galleries get pissy the minute they see a kid and assume they cannot handle themselves in a gallery space, but they made our kiddo welcome (he loves looking at art.) I'll definitely be back.

Great experience! I came here to buy some nice Christmas gifts and I was able to cross everything off my list! And though the store was packed all the staff individually went out of their way to be very helpful and keep things moving smoothly and efficiently. I will be coming back here for sure!

I love this store for unique little gifts. There are a lot of fun kitchen gadgets and kids toys. The larger items are out of my price range but fun to look at. Store staff is generally friendly and helpful.

This store has a little something for everyone. It tends to be pricey but has some really beautiful and interesting items.
