Super awesome shop! Love the plus size options and sustainable clothing. Great place to find locally made art and clothing. Everyone who works there is very friendly. The coffee and chocolate is delicious too.

Super cute coffee shop/ retail store with beautiful, sustainable offerings. Staff was helpful and friendly. Found a nice undyed cotton cardigan to wear over my dress for dinner.
