I found the items were amazing but the customer service I received was very poor. The representative was rude and horrible to interact with. I think more training with staff needs to happen.

Very cool store and the service and friendliness of the staff was top notch. We actually stopped in a couple times during our visit to shop! Definitely worth the stop.

Such a charming spot filled with local gems! A great place to pick up high quality souvenirs. Kim was so kind and gave me lots of suggestions for things to do on my trip to St. John’s. She was so patient and considerate. I highly recommend stopping by this place if you are downtown St. John’s.

My mother loves coming here every time she’s visiting St John’s. The last time we went, shop attendant Adriana was able to help her out picking some pieces that my mom fell in love with. Adriana was attentive and caring and my mom had a great experience. Beautiful shop, selection and costumer service!

My wife and I love Johnny Ruth. We have purchased several items including the totally awesome whale mugs and the really cool postage stamp hoodies. Amazing little finds too. Staff members are always welcoming and will do whatever they can to make the visit a pleasant one. Highly recommend when visiting St. John's.

As the dense fog rolls through Water Street on a damp, chilly Sunday morning, swarms of new, young families and hungover college kids collecting their cars from a drunken yestereve, I pay them no mind. There is only one thing that entices me to do on a dreary St. John’s day, squander my afternoon away at Johnny Ruth. As the clock strikes noon across the way on the bearly visible clock tower on the Courthouse, the lights come to life in the shop which lighten the merchandise which therefore lightens my mood. The lock unlatches and what seems to be a sea of customers flood in to get clear of the miserable, mauzy day and forget about their problems of tomorrow. As I step in the shop I see a young employee in the back gulp down the last of her tea, a Toslow tea perhaps? A mystery I don’t plan on solving. As I meander through the wonderfully Newfoundland themed clothing, perfectly capturing the humour with what seems like every Newfoundlander is born with, it’s the puzzles that catch my eye. There is nothing better, in my mind anyways, then to sit back on a cold, foggy day to a beautiful puzzle, a perfectly assorted charcuterie board and a glass of red. After placing my new puzzle under my arm, I find my eyes wandering on something else to feast my shopaholic mind on. They lock on the table as I begin to pick through the pages of one of my favourite Newfoundland artists JC Roy. Perfection. As I leave the store with my tote bag heavier and my wallet lighter, I go on to face this dreadful day with my new puzzle, my new book, my new charcuterie board and my glass of red.
