“E.C. Pops is an absolute must-stop! You guys, from the moment we walked in, Lance and the whole team made us feel like old friends. We’re visiting from Nebraska, and they went out of their way to share Baltimore’s history, point us toward amazing food, and recommend the best places to explore. The shop itself is full of unique and beautiful pieces that honestly capture the fun of Baltimore, but what makes it truly special is how kind and welcoming everyone is. Such a fun, memorable stop, we can’t wait to come back again!! ???”
“I came here for the first time and loved the selection of cute items! I loved their selection of cute baby items in particular. It’s always nice to support local businesses like this one. The person who helped me (I think they were the owner?) was super attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back!”
“The absolute best gift shop of any kind, anywhere in at least the continental US. I feel pretty confident about that. Anyway amazing, magical, mystical, surprising, and for purchase (that last being the only real differentiator between the gift shop and the museum itself). Run, don't walk and all that.”
“a wonderful, beautiful store. Educate you what’s happening around the world and inspires you..
It must come in and see of all the unique and beautiful items that they sell.”
“This shop is a must visit! The items sold are so unique. Whether you need a housewarming gift, baby gift, seasonal decorations, or just want a new outfit this is the place to go. You can tell how much time the owner puts into purchasing product because everything is adorable!!!”
“I had an extremely pleasant experience at this location. The employees were attentive and helpful. In particular, Jaylen was very kind, informative and personable. I would highly recommend this store.”
“My wife and I went here for the first time back in January of this year and found a beautiful, colorful and handmade/painted clock (picture of clock hanging in our house attached) by an artist from Massachusetts! Because someone else purchased the one she had in her shop the same day we were there in early January, we had to wait until she got a new one in and it came in Monday of this week. We went to pick it up today. We just love it! The owner of the store couldn't have been nicer thru the whole purchase of the clock. Her shop also has many other unique and artistic items for sale including another clock like the one we just purchased. We will be back!”
“This is a Black woman-owned boutique and truly one of the highlights of my weekend in Baltimore. Pandora’s Box is such a beautiful space. The shop is bright, colorful, and full of personality. Every corner has something eye-catching, from jewelry and tote bags to greeting cards, candles, décor, socks, magnets, and so many fun and creative finds. It’s the kind of store where you walk in and instantly feel inspired.
I also had the chance to meet the owner, Mo, and she was incredible. Warm, welcoming, and full of good energy. Talking with her, you can hear the passion, creativity, and hard work she pours into her business. Many of the items are designed by her, which makes the boutique feel even more special and unique.
I ended up picking up a tote bag, a magnet, and some stickers, and could have easily left with even more. The entire experience felt intentional, personal, and memorable. Pandora’s Box is the type of small business you want to support again and again.
Whether you’re a local or visiting Baltimore, this boutique is absolutely worth the stop. I’ll definitely be returning the next time I’m in the city.”
“Every single item at this store is curated with a focus on quality craftsmanship and artistry. The owner took the time to walk through her inventory and helped me pick out the perfect gift for a bridal shower.”
“The cutest store! They have so many amazing unique home finds. Perfect place to find gifts for friends and family that they will actually love. Very friendly and helpful staff! Could down hours looking through everything!”
“The owner is extremely patient and friendly. Great customer service in a brick and mortar store is very rare. This was a refreshing experience. We will be back! I needed a logo for my son's suit for his youth group and it was completed perfectly.”
“Today I made an exchange at the cottage. I was struggling with understanding the return and new purchase, because I also had a birthday credit mixed in with my original purchase. The person who waited on me and someone else who I believe might have been a manager were very helpful with explaining this to me and walking me through my refund. I appreciate their time and patience when I was feeling frustrated at not understanding. I have always enjoyed the products at the cottage and the people who work there.”
“I went to The Gift Shop on their opening morning, and could not be happier with how cute, fun, and perfect this shop is! The owners were also super giving and sweet and gave the first 50 shoppers a swag bag, as well as free drinks and snacks. The colors of the store are fun and vibrant, and as usual, the clothes for purchase are stylish, the accessories are wonderful and hilarious, and the quality of everything is great. I cannot wait to regularly shop here for myself and others!”
“Small souvenir store at the inner harbor
They have a variety of souvenirs from t shirt, magnets to mug cups. They also had jewelry. I wanted the crab hat, but i dont think it was for sale.
I didn't buy anything, but it is good to see what they have.
Parking is hard here, so do not recommend bringing a car in this area.”
“The lady at the counter was super nice and friendly. Went 9/20/21 and everything was well packaged and prepared and ready to go.The app messed up my order but the shop fixed it gladly and were super pleasant to deal with.Kind of customer service you want! Not to mention new pumpkin cheesecake is amazing. Thank you!”
“Awesome customer service and fresh, sweet fruit! Went in-store to make a purchase. Very courteous with explaining sizes & special requests. Offered to make a fresh arrangement while I waited.”
“Today I received an amazing service from Michelle. She was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I want to say thank you Michelle for your great services at 10:03 AM on April 2, 2025.”
