A wonderful, eclectic store that my wife and I always visit when we're in St. Michael's. The book choices always fascinate us and the people who work there are extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. Our favorite store anywhere!

This was the nicest boutique I saw in St. Michael's when I went for the first time today. It was very eclectic - home decor, clothes, books and more, but everything was very tasteful, which made it a refreshing change from some of the other more kitschy, tourist-type stores. I hadn't especially planned to get anything but ended up buying two things, and would likely have gotten more if I'd had a little more time and $$ handy. Staff were helpful. Book selection covered all kinds of diverse and interesting topics. Home decor items were well-made, and everything felt curated by someone who was paying close attention and selecting things that would really make a home look nice. The clothes were likewise quite diverse, but they all had a certain charm, and an upscale, beachy flavor. Definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking for tasteful items that will inspire thought and appreciation, and stand the test of time.

Wanted to love this shop.....interesting inventory, and goods sales. However after my most recent visit, I won't be returning. My husband and I were leaving the shop and headed in the direction of the door we had entered. The woman in "customer service"...the older of the two working on 1/15...yelled out "Don't use that door! You weren't supposed to come in that door in the first place." When we looked up, we saw the door was blocked, which she did after our arrival. To the stores credit, there was a small sign to "use other door" which we both missed. However, the door was unlocked possibly for fire protocols? But to "call out" customers across half the length of the store is unnecessary. Seriously....we are respectful adults and don't need to be publicly and unnecessarily admonished for a simple mistake. We both left the store with bad feelings. Weekend trips to St. Michaels are all about feeling good. I'll shop at the clothing store across the street in the future.

Always a highlight of a day trip. A small but highly curated collection of books, home goods, jewelry, clothing, and accessories. I am always surprised at the things I find there. Whoever is doing the buying is doing a fantastic job. I do wish there was more space for the jewelry to be separate from the register as I feel a bit rushed to check out when I'd like to ask to see things, but that is my own fault as I'm not one to interrupt if the checkout person is in a hurry or others are waiting!

St. Michaels is full of boutique gift shops, and this was one of many. They all sort of blur into each other, but the decor and window displays here were very inviting. Lot of things I picked up and put down. Someday when my wallet is a bit bigger and I have more room. Staff were pleasant.

A fun boutique to stop in and shop for home decor, candles, gifts, books, unique jewelry and men's and women's clothing. Fun groupings and displays to showcase their unique products. Great modern finds!

I love this store. They always have unique gift items for both men and women. I also love their book selection. I have made a habit of picking up a new title every time I got in and have come across many interesting reads that I would have never otherwise found. It is my favorite shop in St. Michaels and that is saying a lot as I love shopping in this town.

Just went into this store with friends ready to spend some $$$. While we were looking around the sales person came over and told us we had to leave because they were closing. I have never in all my years had a store tell customers to leave! Normally you would lock the doors to avoid new customers from entering and allow the existing customers to finish shopping. That's just common curtesy. I will never return. They lost a big sale with turning us away.

So sorry to hear the negative reviews below. I have been shopping at Chesapeake Trading Co. since it opened about 20 years ago and my experienced has been that it has exceptional customer service, and a wonderful and unique selection of books, music and clothing.
