The Glass Onion has always been a favorite. Now, Josh, Tally and company have risen to the new challenges. After more than a few takeout meals, we were thrilled to dine on the premises outside. Food, service and class presentation were beyond our expectations!

While on vacation I procrastinated and didn't bother searching for a nice gift for my wife until about an hour before our ferry was to depart. I stopped at a couple of stores searching for something memorable and cool to remember this trip by, but I really couldn't find anything unique. The last stop was the Glass Onion. A charming little shop that had a little bit of everything, but not all of the same old touristy stuff. They carry a few paintings from local artists that I was immediately drawn to. Turns out that the piece I really liked was actually painted by the shopkeeper's father. It was also framed using washed up wood from one of the beaches. It's the perfect gift! Interesting, clean store, and very friendly service. I highly recommend stopping here.

Love this store! Best shop on Block Island for the quality and hospitality. The owner could not be nicer and always make a point to stop when visiting.

We visited this shop over the Thanksgiving weekend Holiday Stroll. They were having a fantastic sale on most of their items and we took full advantage. We purchased some adorable Christmas Ornaments (50% off!), some Chinese blue and white patterned bowls, an Indian cotton tapestry, a French blue and ivory stripped shirt, some wonderful perfume, a great pair of silver hoop earrings and a needlepoint key chain. We were so pleased with everything we bought, they were all gifts and the recipients loved each and every gift.The shop is a wonderful combination of fun gifts, clothing and accessories, antiques, books, nautical items and jewelry.If you are on the island you should stop in to all of the great little shops, but be sure not to miss this one.

Glass Onion is one of my favorite stores in the world. As soon as we step off the ferry we make our way to this shop as the first part of our Block Island pilgrimage. It never disappoints. One can always find something special and unique, something that will make your life a little sweeter, but this is not exactly the place to look for souvenirs of Block Island. Mary and Rita are beautiful souls, always willing to help, chat, whatever. When their sale merchandise didn't have the size I needed, they even went out of their way to search in the back of the store. One leaves Glass Onion feeling a better and more whole person.
