This place has lots of adorable items. Unfortunately, it also has lots of racial bias, conscious or unconscious—who knows. My daughter and I walked in after making purchases at Panache Chocolatier and Claire de Lune. Not only were we not greeted or spoken to the entire time we were there (until we left, when the woman present said “goodbye”), but once we were out of her line of sight from the counter, she got up and followed us around with her laptop, pretending she was doing something shop-related on it. I think she thought she was being discreet, but being a Black woman, this unfortunately was not my first rodeo with this type of thing, and I know when I’m being surveilled. I honestly loved so many things there, especially the baby items, but I will not be back.
