I've been here a decade or two ago and had the chance to go back. For a late afternoon the place…read morewas quite busy. This location is really centrally located in a strip mall with QFC and Ben Franklin. Parking can be tight at times but typically there are spots available. The setting is eclectic, homey and in support of pride, women's issues and generally great for finding a cozy spot to work or read. If I were thinking about what a Seattle vibe was all about I might imagine this cafe in Redmond. I had an Italian soda. The menu is large with many food options for breakfast or lunch too. We had a great table by lots of windows too. If you are looking for something different this might fit the bill.

Two stars for cute, unique products. Prices are so expensive, even with discounts (buy one get one…read morehalf off). Each pair of socks was between $16 and $20. Store is small and cramped and you knock into everything. Employees follow you the entire time, watching you. They talk about sales multiple times. At the register, they mention more discounts (which of course involves buying more full priced expensive items), then tell you to scan a code and put in your personal information for $5 off. It's exhausting to shop there, but it's an evil necessity for cute stuff.

This is probably the worst shop and customer service I have encountered in my life…read more I received a gift card for Utopia as a gift, and decided to use it today. However, the staff there told me there was no record of the gift card and claimed the gift card did not exist in the system after checking some index card file she had at the desk. She then questioned the origins of the card and told me to go get a receipt for the purchase of the gift card. Why do I need to present a receipt for the gift card I received as a gift? This was so laughably outrageous that I left. Don't patronize this shop, they take the cash from gift card sales and refuse to honor the gift card when you try to redeem it. It is a total scam. They take your money and pretend the gift card doesn't exist. I would not recommend even setting foot in this unreasonable store. ​​​​

It's hard to claim a store is the best in a city, especially in such a big and beautiful city like…read moreRedmond is, but Utopia is easily the best store in miles for your jewelry wants or needs, made even better by the fact they are a small business. The staff are super kind and friendly, willing to help anyone with anything and only letting you leave with the best possible products you came for. The store itself is lovely, all the jewelry is nicely displayed and eye catching, with a great calm feeling in the air. But the best part is the pricing, all the prices are perfect with great options in every price range, and the staff even is kind enough to try and help you lower the price if necessary.

It is not even comparable to the other chain stores in the area. They also have a good selection of sewing notions and sewing patterns. And wow they have a ton of puzzles!!

The store had a lovely ambiance. I would highly recommend checking Ben Franklin out for your crafting needs!

I went to get some pop tape for a project. Not only was I shown the exact place to find it in, but also the one that would work best for my needs. The lady asked me what I wanted it for and went above and beyond by grabbing a piece of paper and showing me other ways to do it. What I had imagined to be too much work, seemed very simple after all, after the little demo from her. So thankful for this store and its employees!

Pupchella -- great idea, but what a mess and frankly a waste of time it was…read more We got there around 2 pm and were done in under 5 minutes. Except for the Tesla booth, no one even bothered greeting us... yes, we brought our cute 7-month-old puppy with us. The music booth planted in the middle of everything was so loud it became obnoxious. Then there was the puppy booth with zero signage -- are they selling puppies or are they a rescue? No clue. The only visible sign said "not fully vaccinated," which raises the question: WHY are the puppies there to begin with? They shouldn't be there as a petting zoo, exposed to random dogs. There were maybe around 10 booths total, and at least 3 of them were just photo-op booths. The "doggy care" booth was especially confusing... what exactly are they even selling? Their setup also had real estate advertising mixed in. Overall, it felt poorly organized, underwhelming, and more geared toward Instagram photos than actual pet community engagement.

The center is jam packed with a variety of retailers, fitness studios such as Cyclebar, and places to enjoy a drink and catch up with friends. It's a good mix of moderate and high end for both retail and dining, so you can find something that suits everyone's needs and wants. The service from all their retailers is always spot on. The center itself is filled with plenty of seating where you can grab a bite, a coffee, and sit down to read a book, people watch, or just enjoy a nice day outside. Without having to cross into the city for Uvillage, RTC is a 10/10 spot to visit!

I've witnessed a couple interactions of extremely rude shoppers. I feel for the employees that experience that and then have to move on like they weren't just talked down to. Remember, kindness is free. The store can be quite a bit sparse with inventory at times and then stocked fairly well at other times. I met the manager that runs this location, while checking out one time. He appeared to have good rapport with the staff working that day. I usually shop the fragrance section, looking for discontinued fragrances that I can't find anywhere else. I'll continue to go here for the convenience and low prices.
