I found Flowers in the Alley while researching florists & after seeing their other reviews I figured I'd give them a shot. Please. If you're trying to find a florist, if you're like me and reading reviews trying to narrow down who to go to, CHOOSE FLOWERS IN THE ALLEY. My mom is not a classic rose type of lady, she doesn't even care much for cut flowers and prefers ones she can plant, but having something delivered to her to let her know I was thinking of her was so important to me and Flower in the Alley did not disappoint. My mom LOVES her arrangement. I am writing this review two weeks after Mother's Day and her flowers still look incredible. Thank you Flowers in the Alley for delivering the freshest and most beautiful bouquet my mom has ever received. You helped her feel my love from 926 miles away, and nothing beats that.

Seems like shoppers here should know what to expect and it shouldn't be a big surprise if prices…read moreare a little high or if some of the items seem generic. Or at least that's my take, anyway. For me, it's a great place for buying made-in-Oregon food products to send to out-of-state friends or give to friends who are visiting and want to take something small back with them that can fit in a suitcase. To wit, I've purchased made in Oregon cookies (the shortbread cookies are excellent), seasonings, seasoned nuts, chocolate-covered nuts and berries, local honey, and some other fun items as gifts for friends. Everyone who received them said they were very tasty and enjoyed these items. This store also has a nice selection of wine from local Oregon vineyards, including a super-sweet dessert port, prosecco, red and white varietals, etc. Lastly, every time I have been in this store, the salespersons have been uniformly friendly, attentive and helpful.

I could see with each customer he interacted with, that he truly cares about making sure everyone finds what they need. The store is also very well stocked, and the displays and products are easy to access and well laid out. I highly recommend this store!

And when I say, a metaphysical store hates to see me coming (or maybe loves to see me coming) because I always leave with something!! They are truly one of my favorite types of stores to visit because I always find something that I can use to feed my mind, body and soul. On this particular visit, I left with a couple protection stones, the tiger's eye and the tourmalated quartz. With the current state of the world, this country in particular, and just every day life stressors, the added protection, is not only needed but welcomed. So, I was happy to add these stones to my ever growing collection. The price points were good - and the packaging is really cute. The store owner is super sweet. She allowed us time to really look around even despite the fact that she was preparing to close for the day. My overall experience, while brief and only once, was really good. The energy was grounding. Should I find myself back in Salem, OR, I'll be sure to visit this local spot again. If you haven't visited The Cosmic Exchange, then please pay them a visit. You won't regret it!

It was clear they were friends, and their friendly warm banter was like a breath of fresh air in the ladies' retail world. That definitely makes one want to buy something! I made note that this store has some of my faves: Brighton, Hobo, and lots of classic clothing along with fun eclectic fashion items as well. We chatted and they gave me such a great sense of wanting to return, about a month later, I brought an out-of-state visiting friend there. The vibe was entirely different. A young-ish tall woman was the only salesperson on duty. She barely greeted us when we entered, paced around the floor with a pissed-off bored look on her face, fiddled with some stuff behind the counter, paced around impatiently some more, and did a stellar job of vibing us right out the door. There were a few other shoppers in the store and I noted they didn't stay long either. Totally baffling because my friend and I are your target demographic. We very likely would have done some serious shopping. Congrats on hiring someone who will make sure your store is empty, and safe from all those pesky and bothersome shoppers! Was it an ageism issue? Was she just having an off day? Who knows; who cares. We were made to feel so uncomfortable, I have walked by there numerous times and contemplated going in, but then thought, nahhhh, not worth the psychological beat-down (yes, that young saleswoman's attitude was THAT bad). Pity, because the other sales ladies were awesome, and I am in need of some new Hobo and Brighton items.
