Such a cute shop! I'm a sucker for painted pottery and kitchen gadgets. The clerk, autumn, was…read moresweet as can be, and she gave my dog a free little treat. I left with two cute little bowls painted with cherries. Located right downtown traverse city.

I love home decor and kitchen gadgety things so Peppercorn is one of my favorite places to browse…read morewhenever I'm in Traverse City. They also have a pretty nice variety of foodstuffs like snacks, jams, candy, etc and other packaged edible goods. Some of the makers are local to Michigan, but they also carry things from out of state. The style of the kitchen and home decor they carry typically trends towards the more colorful and whimsical (which is 100% my vibe) though they do carry some more neutral options for the more minimalist shoppers out there. Whenever I visit I usually pick up one or two items (like a cute dish towel or one of their small prep bowls) for the home and a couple of their packaged pantry goods like a fancy mustard or jam. Oh, and they also have a Moomer's Ice Cream counter which makes it even more of an essential stop for us when we're in the area.

They have EVERY gadget that you might possibly need for your kitchen and TONS of the ones that you…read moredon't need. I love it here. One of my first jobs was a this store. Until I worked here I didn't know all the useless and awesome stuff that I could have. I was in here in November and spent a good amount of money on just those things. The most important one being a "phone cleaner" it is pink and has lots of little tentacles and it cleans my iphone better then anything else. All for $2.99

The folks at Stratus have been amazing to work with. We dropped in just to check out their granite…read moreslabs (their selection is incredible btw) and ended up fulfilling all of our tile/counter needs with them. There are a lot of places in Traverse City to go for tiles and flooring, but the selection and service at Stratus is hard to beat. And countertop slabs, they're THE place. Highly recommend.

I have had a great experience working with Lynndsay and the installers at Stratus. I have worked…read morewith them on jobs from Boyne City down to Leland from granite tops to flooring and they have been great. In the process of lining up more with the team as we speak! I highly recommend.

Good luck getting a straight story. The showroom salesman (evidently Robert) indicated they could…read moreaccomplish everything on my rendering within a two month timeframe by mid year. The field rep was booked for 2 weeks before appointments but sounded excited about the project. After not hearing about an appointment for 1 1/2 weeks, I finally tracked her down and she curtly told me they wouldn't do my project and were booked for the year. Waste of time.

Started with a quote of $2,100 and then they disclosed that the original price did not include…read moreinstall or delivery. Why would you put a price for a product that a huge majority would expect done in the first place? Whatever. Sent me an estimate and in the fine print (why fine print when there is plenty of room to make the information the same font size so people can easily read it?) stated that the demo cost and removal is not included in the estimate. When I requested the cost of demo and removal the president refused to disclose the cost of demo and removal. When I explained that I need to have an idea of all costs, Mr. President ( he listed himself as the president of the company, I'm guessing to let me know there is no point to complain up) informed me he won't do business with me because "our price mindsets are different". I told him I've never been politely fired as a customer and I'm 56 years old. He replied he's been in business for 46. I am sure they probably do good work, but to treat me like he did for simply requesting all costs of a project prior to paying 50% of the costs reflect arrogance and my need to share this with others. Lots of people can install countertops. I went somewhere else and I am glad I did.
