We stopped by Pop Over Eatery located in this plaza. There seems to be a wide variety of businesses to choose from. It's located right in downtown Simsbury, so that is convenient.

I know for sure Subway, Starbucks, and Pop Over Eatery are located in there.

Brought three watches here recently for repair and/ or battery replacement…read more The first was a Bulova that needed a new battery, the second hand fixed and links removed from the band. The second was an Invicta with which needed the battery replaced and links removed. The third was a non-descript watch that needed a battery. The batteries and links were done on the spot. Battery replacement was $10 for each. Links removed was $6 for each. Repairs for the Bulova was done within 24hrs and cost $40. Overall I was impressed with the customer service, watch industry knowledge and the price of work performed. If you have a watch that needs work or the battery replaced stop at Kim's Gift Shop in Copaco plaza in Bloomfield.

"It doesn't matter much to me As long as you're safe,…read moreKimberly And I can gaze deep Into your starry eyes" (Patti Smith) Kim's Gift Shop may have the most unlikely combination of goods and services I've seen in a long, long time. I mean, what else can you say about a place that repairs jewelry, sells gold, diamonds, silver, chains, nameplates, and wigs.... Lots of wigs. Silver wigs, brown wigs, black wigs, red wigs, orange wigs, blonde wigs, blue wigs, and more. Some were curly some were long and straight. Oh...and they sell plenty of extensions too, Surprisingly, I did NOT visit Kim's to buy a wig. Instead, I was there to get my watch repaired. I needed 1) a battery and 2) to get some links removed from a watchband, because the watch I bought on-line during the pandemic was much too large for me. It's been sitting on my desk for years, never changing the length of the band, but only having the battery run down. With a few weddings coming up this summer I wanted a fancier watch to wear than the cheapie I've worn for a while. So that explains my visit to Kim's. The young lady I interacted with was a joy to talk to, she told me the jeweler was out for a few hours, but if I left the watch, he's get back to me with a quote. In a few hours, he did exactly that and I was happy with his reasonable $40 price. I returned the next day, met the jeweler, he measured my wrist and removed a few of the links like a surgeon. He had already replaced the battery, and I left the store a few minutes later with a much snazzier watch will most definitely be "wedding appropriate". So if you ever need a watch repaired, a gaudy nameplate to hang around your neck, or a powder blue wig..... check out Kim's. PRO TIP Kim's is located in the Bloomfield Mini Mall (Isaacs Bagels and Convenience store) at the far end of the plaza near the Naatiya Indian restaurant

Apparently the back part of the building is an antique shop! I didn't get to check that out as I was heading to work! The building is super adorable, plenty of parking, and a beautiful outdoor seating area! Highly recommend!

The antique store/coffee shop offers the best of both worlds for those whose ideal day is getting a coffee and going antiquing - there are tables in the back, among the antiques, where you can chat, lounge, and read a good book. The antiques are all at good prices, and there are also charms all around the store, for those into charms/trinkets! The staff was so kind and relaxed - even under pressure! The coffee beans lining the wall made the store smell like coffee, and the antiques around you made you feel like you were in your New England grandmother's kitchen, waiting for a perfect cup of coffee. The specials were so inventive and clever, with gorgeous art to showcase their inspirations - I had the peanut butter cappuccino, but there were SO MANY other ones I cannot wait to try! Make sure to stop in and enjoy this absolute paradise!
