While hanging out for the 25 years of flavor event at Tin Can Alley I found myself exploring the…read moreplace. Right next to the Arcade on the second level I discovered this place, Brotique. Not sure exactly what kinda shop it was I knew I just had to take a peak. Walking in I was immediately welcomed and greeted by the staff. Not sure exactly what kinda products the store had I found myself looking at everything. Within the first few minutes I discovered it's was a lot of New Mexican themed items like shirts with the Zia symbols. A lot of cool pins. I found one in particular that was a name tag with the "hello my name is" and in the blank read "Cabrón". They also had the female version with "Cabróna". Boy did I get a good laugh. I just had to buy one for me and my dad. I also found some cool breaking bad themed magnets there. They even had chili pepper pens! The place was really cool, and I'm glad I stopped in. Next time I'm in the area I'll gladly come back. Might need some more of those hilarious name tags! They were so cool even the chef Aaron May who was a special guest at the 25 years of flavor for a good laugh. Everyone thought that was really my name it was great lol thanks again Brotique! I'll definitely be returning!

Just called to ask about cocopotamus chocolate, and the entire conversation with the worker that I…read morespoke with was very unpleasant. Immediately after asking if this store has cocopotamus chocolate in stock, this rude lady said, "what?! Talk slower!". After telling me the flavors, this employee was eager to hang up on me, and I proceeded to ask, "when will you get more in stock". I'm not sure how accurate this answer is, but I was just told, "I don't know, maybe not for weeks". Just from this interaction, I will NOT visit or support this store. This employee was definitely not the owner, but I'm sure this is the same rude lady from Tammy's review. If you call or visit, be warned that there is a chance that you will interact with this lady and be treated like trash. Very nice.

I immediately signed up for their newsletter and after seeing all the wonderful, natural items they had I knew I wanted to stop in. We were in the area killing some time before we had to pick up our doggos and we stopped in to check it out. The shop is easy to miss but is jam packed with so many goodies and amazing variety from candles, soaps, natural dryer balls, art work, body creams, you name it. The sassy candles that had caught my eye were amazing and exactly what I hoped for. I will be gifting these for Christmas for sure. I haven't been to a shop like this in recent memory and the quality of the products is absolutely top notch. I love to support high quality local shops and this place and the owner have so much charm- just check them out!

Maaike Hurst's mission: to hire and support victims of domestic violence. Just women. Sorry, not…read moresorry, she says. I'll get to the soaps and the rest in a minute, I just feel like I need to add something to the conversation. Hurst has been around the block, including a long stint in Washington state where she worked as a financial advisor. She'll tell you, if you ask, about some of the women she connected to, desperate to escape domestic abuse, but unable to speak or act due to threat of financial ruin. In this era of #MeToo, it's important to recognize that, for many women, probably the majority of the victimized, the risk of coming forward is far, far too real. The threat of poverty, particularly in the poorest state of the union, is literally life or death. So that's where she's hoping to make a difference, and her soaps and body products are the salve. As it happens, her products are terrific; she's all about softening, soothing, giving your body that buttah, baby. One or two drops of her body butter had my hands rejoicing all day. Delightful bath bombs. Terrific local art from, yeah, a pretty powerful woman. All in a space about the size of a big walk-in closet, hand-crafted and easy to warm up to, much like Maaike herself. The very first time I spoke with this woman I enjoyed her, and you'll enjoy spending a little more for better products that support a critical cause.

I walked in and the first room felt like a small exhibit hall in a beautiful modern art museum. I…read morelove art and have a decent sized collection myself and regularly go to museums, so I'm not usually all that impressed by most galleries. However, there are some exquisite canvases and a sculpture here that honestly belong in a museum in this gallery. Prices were very fair, given the level of the work. There is also a room with a number of beautiful smaller artworks and handmade crafts, such as you would find in the gift shop at MOMA, that were perfect for a special gift and honestly underpriced. I left with a bag full and am still thinking about a couple of those higher end paintings. It is rare to find original art by collectible artists in small galleries, but Marissa has a way with people and gets works that a small gallery would normally not be able to touch. I plan to return to see one of her shows. She's an excellent gallerist and would be right at home curating for a modern art museum.
