“Great staff, talented artists, inclusive space, and local gems! The staff member, Heather, went above and beyond to get me a print they had run out of when I was only in town for the week. I’m from Providence but live in Texas now so I love supporting local RI artists and businesses when I visit home. I remember when Craftland first popped up - I think I was in high school or college. It was amazing and still is. It’s important to have shops like this to visit for local art when markets aren’t happening. I’ve bought many things here over the years to rep RI while living in Texas and have a little piece of home with me. ❤️”
“Came here back in August to finally check out and get gifts for my friends in France, the store owner was SO HELPFUL and wrapped my choices up which survived two flights, two trains and two countries before being handed over to my friends ? really recommend supporting this wonderfully curated gem of a shop.”
“One of the best hidden gems in RI!!! So many unique things you’d need more than one trip just to take it all in! Had fantastic conversations with Kevin. I need to come back sooner than later!”
“One of my favorite places for jewelry and gifts! Lots of unique items and pottery made by the owner Dana who is amazing. If you haven’t been by White Buffalo yet go check it out!!! Especially with Christmas coming up, it’s a good opportunity to support small and local businesses”
“Beautifully curated stores with lovely and thoughtful pieces to add to your home. The owners are also such a treat to chat with! When I’m looking for a special gift, this is the first place I go”
“1000/10! Maria is extremely gifted. The specifics in what she spoke about, no one could guess. The Botanica also has a wide variety to choose from. A lot of items that I’ve purchased, Maria will personally bless without even having to ask. She’s the truth, best in RI for sure! I love her, I’ll come to her as long as she is in business!”

“Cute little boutique with a great selection of high end gift items. I stopped in here last year with my bf to explore some of their wall decor including interesting faux animal head mounts. I absolutely loved their selection of fluffy Russian style hats but talked myself out of buying one last year as I thought they were quite pricey at $46 for faux fur. I regretted it and went back this year to snag one of their hats. So cool and in an assortment of colors. I wore the hat on our recent vacation in the mountains of Colorado and can definitely attest to the hat's great warmth. This store is pricey but has a cool selection- might be a great place to splurge on a unique gift.”
“Great selection of gifts and home goods! They have an especially notable selection of great cookbooks. On my last visit here, I picked up a copy of "Melted Cheese" containing recipes for my most beloved food. Service was very quick and friendly! Some of the items seem a bit overpriced, but other items are reasonable. In the past, I have purchased some small dishes for entertaining in cool finishes such as a bright gold to use for appetizers. Great place to stop in where you're in downtown Providence.”

“Had a delightful visit to Rhode Craft this morning. Excellent selection of very reasonably priced jewelry at a range of price points and styles (I was shopping for necklaces, but definitely made a mental note to return the next time I’m looking for earrings, because the selection was really lovely). Both people staffing the store were pleasant and kind, which has also been the case every other time I’ve been there. Already looking forward to the next time I have gift shopping to do!”

“I have been loving this place for years, however the staff I experienced recently was terrible. The cashier was rude and miserable with all the customers she interacted with while I was there. As someone who works in the service industry and has had nothing but friendly experiences coming here I was shocked. When asking questions she gave one word or short answers with a poor attitude. It felt like she didn’t want to be there, and I quickly left after speaking with her because it was uncomfortable. I will still be coming back as it’s my favorite place for crystals and jewelry, but hoping the staff will be more pleasant next time!”
“What a fun little store! We stumbled upon this shop after dinner while walking downtown providence. One side of the store is filled with home decor and jewelry and the other side has clothing, sunglasses, hats, etc. You can easily spend over an hour here. My niece, sister and I bought some jewelry, they had quite the selection. They be staff was also kind and helpful. I will definitely be back.”
“I just want to say thank you so much to Zoe for sitting on the phone with me for about half an hour trying to get a huge selection of fruit, flowers etc for my wife’s birthday! With being 2,000 miles away serving in the military, it’s hard not being there for my wife on special days like today but Zoe really went above and beyond helping me put a smile on my wife’s face. She loved the whole arrangement! Sincere thank you to Zoe, you’re a life saver for the last minute order for real…!”
“So many fun things in this store! Lots of gifts and fun items for all ages. For kids, they have lots of fun candy and toys/games but the fun, offbeat kind.
Would recommend for gift buying.”

“Helpful and friendly staff and all the basic travel essentials you need; food, cold refreshments, common OTC medications, books, and souvenirs. You’ll pay more than you will at a pharmacy or grocery store but you’re also paying for the convenience of staying in the nice temperature controlled train station. If you want cheaper, plan ahead or walk to a pharmacy or grocery store.”
“Love this store a whole lot! Every time I go in to grab one thing I come out with a bag of things I never knew I needed. So many items, and that staff has consistently been so wonderful, regardless of how busy they are.”
