Definitely a cool stop in (or near?) eastern market in Detroit. It's 3 floors but the one you…read moredefinitely want to check out is the first. They sell edible goods local, foreign, and basic. The problem is that everything is somewhat to grossly overpriced. The local stuff sure - for example, I paid $2.50 a piece for Bev's Bagels (decent, nothing compared to mid tier NYC bagels but better than the vast majority of what you can find in southern Michigan). But for basic (or even foreign) goods it seems ridiculous to buy here instead of a normal grocery store or one of the myriad ethnic shops around. The real star is the cheese selection. They don't have much out, but they have a multi-page list of what they have in stock and they are both knowledgeable and generous with samples. I picked up a really interesting 12-year aged cheddar and tried a few others. There are always a couple of samples out but I've found them unexciting. They have an equally impressive list of meats but I haven't had the chance to explore those. Take the original (and super cool) elevator up to the second or third floors and you can find all kinds of knick knacks from lawn ornaments to Detroit gear. I'm not sure if it was a sale or not, but the last time I was there I picked up a decent quality t shirt for a mere $10. Overall it's a cool store and definitely worth checking out, but unless you're looking for a particularly rare cheese the likelihood of finding anything worth purchasing is slim.

We've been coming here, off and on, for forty-five years and it's still a highlight. A specialized grocery with additional items and plenty of local products. Folks have started calling it the charcuterie store. Stop. That's kinda strange. They do have a fabulous selection of great meats and cheeses. But there's so much more. We buy a lot of gifts, especially from the third floor. Everyone raves about the novelty of the elevator that's over 120 years old. Detroit has many of these lifts. When you have work to do here, they're not that cool anymore. But you should come discover them. It's Eastern Market so it will be pricey. You come for the experience. You can always window shop. Finally, I've read a few reviews about a rude, condescending woman behind the cheese counter...they're 100% correct...she's a bitch. 11/24

I like supporting local businesses and knowing the owner or service provider. Long story long: my GF gave birth 3 weeks earlier than expected so when mothers day came around I had spaced on ordering flowers. I saw Jaclyn on Instagram and had met her before. I asked if she could squeeze me in and she said she could. Normally I just buy a bouquet from Kroger or Meijer or something but I didn't feel it would do it this time. The flower display I got was beautiful. I'm not a flower expert and you shouldn't let me pick the color of your outfit but the display was well balanced and you could see Jaclyn knew what she was doing. I was also very tight on time and Jaclyn brought it to me while I was working at Black Mamba gym in royal oak. It was so kind of her. I will for sure order my flowers through her again. Support local. Be kind. Pay it forward.

I think it's dog-friendly as we saw someone with their cute pup inside shopping. The space was open and not too cluttered, which I always appreciate since I can get kind of overwhelmed in vintage/antique shops.

We didn't have to look far, as Rozwell was lying on a display table right near the entrance! He is so cute and sniffed our hands and got a few pets. I didn't bug him too much as he seemed content to just nap. We learned that he is 20(!!!) years old and there is another shop cat that we didn't see. Moving on, this store is super cool. They have tons of interesting things including lots of crystals, clothing, accessories, gifts, jewelry, and more. The shop also has their production facility in the back. I wonder if they do tours! They are known for using actual manhole covers in Detroit to make prints on clothing, which I think is really cool and would make a great souvenir for any Detroit lover. I had a blast looking around at everything and loved some of the vintage prints on shirts, as well as what I assume are original designs. This is a great shop for finding a gift for the coolest person in your life, or for you, because you are cool. We bought a bag of Kitty Town coffee to take home and I'm excited to come back the next time I'm in town.
