While out shopping with my wife, we stopped into this Broad Ripple Shop that sits high above street…read morelevel along Cornell (I forgot to check if there is an easier access from their parking lot on the west side of the building.) After climbing the stairs to the front porch, we entered into the shop. To the left of the shop is a row of dressing rooms for visitors to try on the women's clothing offered within the shop. To the right are several rows of clothing that extend to the back of the shop. To the immediate right of the doorway are accessories, party games, greeting cards, and other small gift items. Based upon my wife's opinion, the clothing seemed to be high quality but also came with a higher price tag than what she was used to paying. She found a gorgeous necklace almost immediately, but the nearly $400 price tag scared her off. The ladies working were welcoming and offered to help find something if needed. Review #3329

There was only one girl working, and as soon as my mom and I walked in, she greeted us warmly. She let us know about everything happening in the store, including a BOGO sale. My mom was interested in a skirt, and the clerk explained how she would style it (which my mom loved), even coming out from behind the counter to demonstrate. The level of hospitality she showed us was amazing - something that's hard to find these days, and we really appreciated it.

Let's be honest. The minute you see that I'm reviewing Broad Ripple's Pitaya, you're saying to…read moreyourself "Why, Richard, would you be going into Pitaya?" Fair question. I am not young. I am not female. I am most certainly not slim. Sexy is not a word I would ever use to describe me. In other words, I'm not your typical Pitaya customer. I've always been curious about PItaya in Broad Ripple, one of 15 Pitaya locations nationwide with an emphasis on the Midwest with a handful of spots as outliers in Georgia, Texas, and Arizona. Pitaya started in 1990 in Bloomington, Indiana. The Broad Ripple spot now serves as their corporate address. It's a shop for young women's fashion, though certainly all ages can wear their fashions. Pitaya-labeled clothes are sewn here in the US. I had a cousin who, for many years, swore by Pitaya. While I've always been curious, that curiosity never led me to enter the place until recently when a friend asked me to pick something up. So, off I went. The good news, of course, is that Pitaya is one of the businesses in this building that is accessible. Several stores in this strip have a step to get in (Metamorphosis, the bagel shop, etc.). Pitaya's pretty easy to get into, and the accessible parking is about a block away. I actually found what I was looking for, picked it up, and was treated surprisingly well considering it was painfully obvious it wasn't for me. The store was well organized, the employee I met was friendly and helpful, and it had a good energy. I've also always associated Pitaya with super thin, however, I did see some variation in sizing. I mean, not quite to my size but definitely some variation. Will I go back? If my friend asks, sure. To be honest, I felt way more awkward at Thieves than I did here. If you can make an older, unfashionable guy like me feel comfortable then you've kind of won me over.

Stopped here during a trip to Indianapolis for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. We heard from someone…read morethey were carrying some TS merch and we decided to check it out and so glad we did. They had 2-3 shirts that were Taylor themed and a cute sticker. The prices were affordable and I paid $24 for a shirt and $3 for a sticker. I wish they had a larger selection of designs on different types of shirts. For example, the design I really wanted was only available on a very think cotton shirt and I would have preferred a lighter and softer material.

Now that they've gotten into licensed team apparel, I've noticed some prices have gone up.. but it's the price of business. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ At any moment you'll see IU, Xurdue, Butler, Colts, Pacers and Indy 500 brands all over the store and online, with occasional touches into OSU, ISU (#LarryLegend), and retro brand fandom. The only less Hoosier Hopsitality thing about them is their staff - the guy working when I most recently stopped in did not appear approachable nor care to talk... but hello-- that is part of your job.

I rarely leave bad reviews, but the customer service at this boutique was awful. I stopped in with…read morefriends and found a few items I liked, but the checkout process ruined the entire experience. The cashier initially ignored me to talk to her friend. When I paid, her first comment was along the lines of how "barely anyone pays with cash anymore." Already, the vibe was off. Then, she asked where I was from. After I informed her I grew up in the local area, she immediately started rambling about her neighbors from India. It was completely inappropriate, micro-aggressive, and made me wonder if she subjects all people of color to this kind of treatment. To make matters worse, I had to return to the store because I was shorted an item due to a system error. The store was nearly empty, but I could immediately tell she was heated and just wanted me gone. I brought an item to exchange and asked about stock for a few others, which is a standard request for a store employee. Instead of helping, her tone got meaner and her voice grew so loud that it felt like I was being reprimanded just for asking questions. She literally started yelling at me. I could see the hate in her eyes, and it took everything in me not to react disrespectfully back to her. Out of pure exhaustion, I gave up and only exchanged half the value of my item. This was hands-down the worst shopping experience I've ever had. If you're looking for similar items but prefer a classy environment where the staff actually welcomes you, I highly recommend going to Charles Mayer & Company instead.

Bon Vivant specializes in girly accessories for the home and body. Outside, floral club covers are on sale at 30 percent off; inside, myriad motley treasures--bright yellow room dividers, zipper and strap-happy purses, various designer dishwashing soaps, bar soaps and lotions--unfold on shelves. My favorite from the latter genre includes Earthworks, a line of bathstuffs that has been featured in countless magazines. No wonder: the scents are strong but soft; ephemeral but enduring. Try the almond bath truffles. Don't forget the jewelry and local art. Large, swirly paintings in the style of modern Picasso dot a few walls. Pick up a pamphlet for Barbie's catering company, Sweet Tea, on your way out.

I bought a rather expensive blouse, took it home (I live on the west coast), and several weeks later I finally took of the tags and put on the blouse, only to discover a flaw in the fabric. I was very worried since it is a small boutique, but I called and they said to send it back and they would absolutely refund my money! They did not make me feel bad about it or question me in any way. THAT is good customer service. Since I am not around to shop often, or tell all my friends (since I don't live there), I'm spreading the word this way.

The Wild Goose Exchange is a cool vintage store / thrift store that started in Wisconsin, but they branched out and now there is also a store in Indy. I can't be arsed right now to find out why it's called The Wild Goose Exchange, but there are cement geese in the store -- you know, the kind that your grandmother has that she decorates for each holiday -- which is a cute and whimsical touch. This store has everything: women's clothing, men's clothing, accessories, shoes, jewelry and lots of hats. No kids' clothing, though. I saw a couple of graphic tees that I wanted, but I ended up purchasing an electric blue corduroy jacket, which will be perfect for the fall weather coming up. They have so many jackets here. This is the place to find something old and used to cover you up. The prices are great, considering. Sometimes, vintage clothing can be marked way the heck up. But the prices at The Wild Goose Exchange are fair. They also curate their stock really well! As I was scanning the racks and pawing through the clothing, I could tell that the items in the store were intentionally chosen. All of the items here are straight-up hits. Because The Wild Goose Exchange is located on Broad Ripple Avenue and there is no street parking, your best bet for parking is in back of the store, near the Vogue Theatre. If you park there, you can either enter The Wild Goose Exchange through the back near The Vogue, or walk around to the front. Two options for entering!

When I read Nicole S.'s review for Broad Ripple's The Wild Goose Exchange, I had to laugh a bit. Am…read moreI the only one who read "This store has everything" in the voice of SNL's Stefon? Yeah, I probably am. Anyway, that fun little bit aside that review made me want to make a stop to visit this new joint that I'd noticed but no really paid attention to. I'm not exactly the vintage shop targeting audience. After all, I AM vintage. Sigh. The Wild Goose Exchange started with spots in Appleton and Kenosha, Wisconsin and is now recently opened inside this Broad Ripple avenue storefront that is a little tricky to find and park for but definitely worth the effort. Vintage shops are a little weird for me. I like bargains, but I also feel like if it's too much of a bargain I start thinking it's just plain cheap. It's a fine balance. The Wild Goose Exchange really seems to find that balance quite well. They carry men's clothing, women's clothing, accessories, hats, watches, jackets, and a little bit more. As Nicole S. points out, this seems remarkably well curated. Don't be thinking this is your average thrift shop. It's not. It's also not really a pretentious vintage shop either. It feels communal with a strong emphasis on collaboration and giving back. The entrance is a little tricky in terms of accessibility, though it is what I'd consider accessible. The interior is definitely much better. I've always liked this spot and they use it well. As should be obvious, "wild goose" is a theme here. Hear me out. If you visit their website, there's a lot of "Where's the wild goose?" While I have zero clue why they went with this theme, I kept thinking to myself "wild goose chase" - which is, in fact, a fairly vintage saying. While I don't have a fashionable bone in my body (c'mon, you know it's true if you've met me), I really dug quite a few things here and items were in good condition and fairly priced. Parking is always a little tricky in Broad Ripple, but I find once I do it it's much easier than I expected. The Wild Goose Exchange feels like it belongs in Broad Ripple and I'd love to see its arrival trigger other arrivals around this area. For those who remember how Broad Ripple used to be, The Wild Goose Exchange brings that memory to life in its atmosphere and unique, inspired selections. I enjoyed this visit and will definitely return.
