Awesome place. More case knives that I’ve ever saw in one place, old fashion candy, fresh chocolates and such, toys upstairs. What more could anybody want in a store. Must visit once and you’ll be back.

Start by saying the folks there are very friendly, warm and personally greet us with smiles and kindness. Like stepping back in time with the atmosphere and awesome service. Great chocolate choices and delicious coffee. Thank you so much.

Love this place! Every time I go in the people are quick with a smile and friendly to talk to. It’s like walking back in time. If I didn’t run a busy life I’d definitely be in more often. Glad to see a business that holds to good old fashioned values!

Bigots work here. I was excited to take my family members into this store, as I knew they’d appreciate the old charm. My adult son is immuno-compromised, and as such he wears a mask everywhere he goes. His partner also wears one so they don’t get sick and give it to him. When we got into the store we split up. Unknown to me at the time time, the store staff was overheard talking about them saying things like ... you don’t wear a mask because you’re smart.” They were also treated so poorly being stared at like they were subhumans. I wish I had known it at that time or I would have left without making my purchase. I noticed the typically friendly staff wasn’t making eye contact or being friendly with me as they had done in the past. Even the kid at the register was being combative when I corrected him that the price on the bag was cheaper than what it rang up as. I calmly and politely explained to him that it’s illegal to charge someone a higher price than what it’s marked, and when he argued with me I told him that they should fix it immediately because they could get sued for that. A manager lady came over and fixed it (an older lady with white hair.) By that time my son and partner had already left the store because they were shunned and made to feel uncomfortable.This was Saturday, August 19th in the early afternoon. I'm leaving this review because I genuinely hope that the owner of the store reads it and cares enough about their business to reprimand these employees and the white-haired lady who was obviously in charge. Because money is money and you shouldn’t treat customers that way. Literally perpetuating negative stereotypes about ignorant Southerners, and embarrassing yourselves. So if you don’t economically survive, I won’t be surprised, because maybe other people have been treated this way too and they won’t be coming back either. Life is too short for bigots to thrive, and it’s unchristian of you to do so.

Probably our favorite place in Athens. Lots of vintage charm with one of a kind items: cooking and baking accessories, vintage candies, toys, truffles, vinyl stickers, knives and a new coffee shop inside.

Used to come here as a kid when it was actually a hardware store. Now it's a "souvenir" type boutique general store. Still pretty neat little store.
