“This place is awesome been a patient since 2017 ! They’re very caring and considerate. They take their time to make sure that you are safe and well I will always come back when I need them”
“Friendly helpful people who provide furniture to those those who have a place to put it and no way to buy it. It's neighbors helping neighbors who get to choose what they like. St. Louis ethical society bought dressers from Ikea and came to put it together in the very clean workshop. Warehouse. People were friendly and helpful! Highly recommend it”
“I've taken an injured bird here and my heart felt better. Later I received notification of the birds injury/illness and it's release. My heart was happy.”
“This is my go to book store for all the children in my life. I love that the bookstore is black owned and most of their books are by black authors. Their shipping is wicked fast. Their prices are extremely resonante. They have a loyal customer!”
“They have a wide selection of very good clothes! As well as different promotions, most of the women were kind and eager to help!
They had two racks worth of 1$ items! And a 50% off rack! Also every Thursday, if you make a 10 dollar purchase (excluding discounted items) you can spin a wheel at any counter and get an additional discount.
However, the woman at the jewelry counter was not very kind.. it was difficult to tell if there was a specific section for earrings besides what was on the rotator displays. When asked about this, she had an attitude and her demeanor was not very friendly :( as a first time customer this can be a bit discouraging otherwise an amazing store!!”
“Our visit to Craft Alliance was phenomenal! Grace and her team were so kind, helpful, and provided excellent service. This was the perfect place to have a team building event. Grateful for the space and time that was created for our group of teachers to spent time creating ceramic mugs- because what's one more mug! We can't wait to sip our coffee out of 'em soon!”
“First time going 2 weeks ago. Took my dog records, filled out some paperwork and great staff, kind , friendly professional staff. A wonderful outlet if you're on hard times and have limited income.”
“An amazing little shop with some hidden treasures, tucked away on Olive … nearly walking distance from home. Wow! This is my type of place. Good people. Good music. Good prices. Good vibes. I will return! ?”
“It's almost a museum brings me back to my scouting days, anything you might need for scouting is there. A lady sews on patches once a month who is located in the store. Interesting place to visit. Very helpful workers. I took old American flags there to be recycled.”

“I like that Mr James Clark and his staff work so diligently in trying to help the community positively grow. I shared his “Grill to Glory” implementation with my church St Philip’s in The Ville area and it became an outdoor favorite for peace and harmony.”
“Who knew that I'd find myself in a place where they'd not only teach my two little kids to ride a bike but gift them with bikes as well. Once at that place, I had to think back to how I learned to ride a bike: from other kids in the neighborhood because we were always outside unsupervised. Times have changed and kids aren't outside playing unsupervised anymore. It is for this reason that STL BWorks offers a niche service: teaching kids to ride a bike and for free.
Before learning of BWorks, through a school newsletter, we were about to pay a premium price for both kids to learn. Thanks to BWorks they not only learned to ride in 3 Saturdays, but it was free. As icing in the cake, they returned to BWorks for 6 Thursdays and both walked away with knowledge of how to change a bike's flat tire, the anatomy of a bike, and each earned a free bike. This is community service with a purpose and vision. When it's time for new bikes, I'll be heading to BWorks to buy them as a way to support this organization and its vision. Thanks to Ms. Evie, the instructors, and the people behind the scenes at STL BWorks. I can check bike riding of the list of to do's for my little kiddos.”
“We have been going here for many years & the fish is always amazing. The sides are also very good. The workers are friendly & we love sitting on the covered deck (at least when it's not 100 outside.)”

“Great place to go! But weather is a major factor (outdoor seating), and if you're sitting in the top section - C - be sure to bring binoculars ao you can actually see the faces of the performers.”
“I truly enjoy the ymca and this location in particular. There is a strong sense of community here. My frustration is not getting into the classes. Body pump will fill up 5 minutes after opening. I am usually at work during this time making it difficult to sign up on time. This issue is not specific to this location and I would be happy to use the old weights if there was more space. It feels great to get into a routine and wish it was not difficult to get into the class. The y, especially South City, has high quality classes and is really a great place to be.”
“Limited selection at this store but I always find ceramics to buy made in Portugal, Italy, or Spain. These bowls are a great way to take a dish to a gathering and gift the host with the dish.”
“This is our second stay at Haven House, the first for us at the new facility. I'm absolutely floored by the warm greeting and tour we recieved from Tim (I think that's his name). The facility is impressive with multiple family and children's areas, hot meals served during your stay, and free snacks/drinks for guests. We were so absolutely stressed about our sons surgery and staying so far from home. But around every turn in this facility is a reminder that there is a whole staff of people to support us and make us as comfortable as possible. I couldn't be more thankful that this facility exists.”
“The employees are the best part of this Y. They are always so friendly and helpful. The gym is a little small but very clean and the workout studio is so big and has so much good equipment”

“My home is very spacious and nice, quiet neighborhood, rental process was easygoing. Rental rates are fair I would recommend Purpose Residential to Family&Friends.”
“Great little store! Very friendly and lots of unique finds in one place. If you're looking for a good way to support small businesses and local artists then you need to check them out.Great location. Friendly staff. Street or nearby garage parking.”
“I am updating a few kitchen Items and was excited that they took my fan and light kit as well as my cabinet stove light. Habitat for Humanity also does pickups according to your zip code. Last week, they picked up a 7 ft. countertop, I did not need any more. Casey, the HH employee who reviews and accepts items that you bring to them, is very courteous, friendly, and professional. I like the opportunity Habitat gives people to donate and purchase items you may need for a project.”
“If you are homeless in st Louis, you need to get connected with these people. They are saving lives. Be patient, get a case manager and they will help you work the programs available.
You'll need to be seen by an intake coordinator to get the process started. They are non-judgemental. Do not hesitate to make that first step in the right direction.”

“Duo is absolutely incredible! James is by far the best trainer I have ever worked with, and has taught our whole family so much about dog behavior and positive reinforcement which has set us up for success with all four of our dogs. We went through Touch Therapy training as well as basic obedience class, both of which were really educational and productive experiences. We have completed obedience at other organizations and it just does not compare - James has been very good about meeting our dogs’ individual needs and troubleshooting specific problems with us. We love being a Touch Therapy team and commend Duo for all the good they are contributing to the world with their trained service dogs as well as touch teams and well-trained companion animals. Excellent organization!”
“I love this place, I always find great things, it is clean and way less chaotic than the not so far neighbor goodwill bins in downtown. My one star gone is because of a recent experience I had, I used the bathroom there. I am a minor, and the worker unlocked it for me, the room had two stalls and a shared sink area. I thought that the bathroom would just be me however they let someone else in which I didn’t mind assuming it was a women’s room. However, it was a fully grown man they let in (the same worker who saw me go in) and he got fully unchanged and changed in the stall next to me while grunting. I was really nervous because it felt uncomfortable to be in there during that. I washed my hands fast and scrambled out because I was anxious. I just wish they didn’t let him in or warned me first that another customer was entering”
“This is first time I had to reach out for help and they were so friendly and helpful. One of the ladies went out of her way to make me feel very welcome and directed me the whole way and even help me with Xtra help on her own.”
“I donated a box of clothes here recently, and five days later realized that my high school class ring was in that box. I immediately called the store and the manager, Sanela, took all of my information and promised to search through the donated jewelry. She said it could take a while to track down (if it hadn’t been sold already), but 10 minutes later she called me back saying they’d found it! It was back in my hands later that same day. Thank you so much Sanela and team!”
“Love this organization, and their food pantry. I've been here twice, and everyone is always so nice and eager to assist in any way they can. I also love how they pray over everything before getting start for disbursement.❤️”
“Todd, Erin, David and the entire developmental team are incredible to work with. They've become amazing partners of ours.
