I've…read morebeen popping in and out of here for a couple years now, there are multiple sections of the store to poke your head around. The upstart part is like strawberry picking with bins filled with ever. I've found some great Christmas gifts here and personal items to my collections. Prices range on the retail side and up, accepting cash and card. They are following Covid rules if that makes a difference for you. Masks and social distances required. Best part about this shop is there is a nice little ice cream shop across the street =) this downtown area has changed for the better over the years and this place is just another addition to it.

If you're in the market for interesting things with no thought to their cost, this may be your place.

So I found this little gem by happen stance when I was looking for good coffee while in the area…read more It is right next to a very popular coffee/smoothie bar and I HIGHLY recommend you stop on in after you grab a smoothie or coffee. Locally made crafts/gifts/cards and the store is filled to the brim with lovely things! Good to note: If you put 50 Pleasant street Norwich in your GPS it will take you to the back of the building which is the wrong side. Go past pleasant st and the parking lot is on your left! Or search for Dexters smoothie and Coffee vault. The location is a little odd but definitely a hidden gem!

It's hard to walk away from this store coz it's so cute n adorable and evokes an interest just from the outside and makes you curious on what you may find inside... its quite small .. a hodgepodge of wonderful handmade crafts all made locally in CT... makes for a one of a kind gift... I bought some whimsical clips and rings for the kids and they weren't priced too high which makes it all the more wonderful.... hard to list what you can find coz there are just too many knick knacks but to give you an idea handmade greeting cards, seasonal items... earrings, lip balm holders, hand carved stone animals...you can spend a good lot of time if you enjoy things like this. Also, when you purchase goods from local artisans, you're supporting their business, which helps strengthen the local economy.

I have been shopping Cottage Melts online for going on two years and have watched the evolution to…read moretheir brick and mortar location with great excitement. Not only are their melts long lasting, they create some of the best scent combinations of any company I have found. Their dedication to creating quality products and excellent customer service has made me a life long customer and fan. I love their melts, candles, lotions and car diffusers to the point I almost exclusively gift from their shop for holidays. When creating their store they have been incredibly intentional in curating a space that not only will showcase their growing range of products but has also given opportunity to other small, local businesses to sell their products. This commitment to their new community and giving space to help others succeed is incredibly admirable. Definitely worth a drive to see them - smell their products in person - and I promise you will fall in love with Cottage Melts too!
