Staff are friendly and very knowledgeable to lead you to or point you in the right direction for what interest you have. I happened to come in when the store was about to close but I will surely return!

When I want to walk around aimlessly and read all the magazines in the store without getting dirty…read morelooks I come here! This is a pretty huge Chapters or Indigo or whatever the name is these days. It's clean and all the staff are really friendly but not follow you around, in your face kinda friendly. I don't need friends like that. That is what family is for :) I also love to browse all the little gadgets and accessories section. They have some cute Kate Spade items, as well as candles, jewellery, kitchen items. They have some really nice engraved (initials in script form) cheeseboards as well as gold lettered initial mugs. Makes great gifts and gives it that personal touch. I also bought a gorgeous faux fur scarf. I'm in love every time I wear it. I love their huge discount section as I love to read and buy books often. But I also like to pay my mortgage and eat so I can have both my cake and eat it as well here! But I can also go to Starbucks if I really really want some cake too. So technically I can have it ALL!

This is a small Coles store located on the second floor, close to The Bay. The kids' section is…read morekind of big considering the store is so small. There's a whole section for manga (I didn't see Haikyu!!), a section for fiction series for kids aged 9-12, a variety of activity kits, greeting cards near the front, magazines on the opposite wall, and so much more. I had gone to pick up an order that had been shipped to the store. One employee at the register was helping a customer, and where to line up was not clear, so I stood at one end. The employee that I encountered wasn't very friendly, so my overall impression of my experience was not good.

I always enjoy my experience at this Indigospirit. The place is bright, clean and welcoming! I love…read morethat there are so many different sections to explore from books and toys, to stationary and home decors :) Service at checkout is always friendly and courteous. Book prices are definitely on the rise; I mean, back then it was only about $2.99 for a children's book, and now it's about $10.99 or more. It is still so nostalgic to see familar childhood artists still publishing new books for the next generation... definitely check out the new Halloween book collections right now ^^

It was super packed so decided to just go again the next day. Went the next day right at opening as Clifford was there for photo taking. The store was really big. They moved from the upper level to the lower level and also closed down the location near First Markham Place. They had mini cake samples from Daan Go Cake Lab. Their cakes are always bomb! There is a daan go cake vending machine set up there so you can order cakes and drinks conveniently which I found pretty cool.

Last week, I did a quick stroll from Newmarket Riverwalk Commons over to Main Street. The latter is…read moreNewmarket's cozy downtown. I will admit that I often cut through this street. It was nice to stop and take in what's along Main Street. This street has a variety of shops and services. It's rich in history. Main Street is a hill. At the top of it is Old Flame Brewing Co., which used to be the Old Fire Hall. This fire station was established in 1952 and served the community until 1972. I frequent the lower part of Main Street more. It's where Fairy Lake is. I have been to the Newmarket Craft Beer Festival at Wesley Brooks Conservation Area. You get a lovely view of Fairy Lake and its surroundings while enjoying a variety of craft beer from around Ontario, along with some good local food. I recently visited Ghost Taco. It's puts a unique, modern twist on tacos. It offers two types of birria tacos. It also offers vegetarian options, such as the charred brussels sprout taco. This street has everything from restaurants, to spas and salons. I have Chips & Malt, and The George on Main for fish and chips, and cream soda beer (thanks, Jason), respectively. I also want to visit Replenish General Store, which offers fine foods, personal care products, and more. The Newmarket Farmers' Market started this past Saturday. It typically runs from the first week of May till the last Saturday of October every year, from 8 am till 1 pm. It's a cool place to buy farm-fresh produce, baked goods, handmade crafts, and good eats for breakfast or lunch. The activity is reminiscent of how things were in the town of Newmarket as a new market back in the day. There is street parking, but it gets fairly busy, especially on weekends. I recommend parking by Newmarket Riverwalk Commons. There's more parking there, it's free, and it runs parallel to Main Street. Newmarket's Main Street is quaint and enjoyable to check out. I used to spend a lot of time in the area and stopped. It was nice to revisit the area. I hope to drop by more often. (181)

The main store carries books, jewellery, stones, incense, incense holders, various cards for readings... the list goes on and on... while the second store not only has more books but also home decor items and clothing. You can visit their website to find out about all the classes and sessions that are available - I've attended a few and have found them to be informative and enlightening. Over all, Odyssey is a peaceful place to be and I have introduced MANY friends to the wonders that can be found here.

My favorite hot sauce Purple Tongue, they have art, crocheted items, crystals, soaps, candles etc. I'd definitely come back and explore both the shop and their menu.
