Don't let the name mislead you! SO MUCH MORE TO DISCOVER HERE!!! Yes, it is a marvelous, upscale…read moreART GALLERY featuring, acclaimed local artists as well as jaw dropping regionalists from Tennessee to Texas & Montana to Mississippi! Of course, they will FRAME your treasured artwork as well. HOWEVER, under the same gargantuan roof, & owned by the same sassy proprietress, there is a wonderland of shops & services to be discovered. The WOODSHED (found elsewhere on YELP) is a larger-than-you-would-believe RESTAURANT decorated on the eclectic side with huge metal business signs from yesteryear & amazing artwork covering the walls. A full bar named CHERRY'S welcomes you with a stage area for live bands & piano brunches located across the large hall! The sweet service was extra friendly here! In another area (you must explore) is an upscale GIFT BOUTIQUE with inventory I'd expect in a Chicago shoppe, not Carthage. Nice to know good taste is appreciated & fostered everywhere! The WINE SHOP & RARE SPIRITS ROOM is stocked to the brim with luscious sips & libation accoutrement! Scamper over to the FINE LADIES APPAREL for unique, bespoke creations before entering a java jamboree in their coffee lounge known as MOTHER ROAD COFFEE (also on YELP). I was blown away. You might ask someone on the square to direct you toward the correct quadrant as it's not exactly clear through which door to enter. But once there, no treasure map is needed as they lay right before your eyes...everywhere!!!

I don't know that we would have come in here if it were not for the cookie shop a few doors down…read more But what a great place it is. Cute, friendly, and just what I like in a drink shop. Yes, its a coffee shop first and foremost. But it also offers smoothies, and the best hot cocoa I've ever had. They have every flavor syrup you can imagine and take pride in giving you your drink exactly as you want it, even taking the time to ask us the temperature we wanted. The owner had a few minutes to spare and took the time to give us a quick tour of the place. Also sharing with pride the beautiful counters and tabletops he made himself that were very original and set the place apart from chain shops. We look forward to returning and with the Coley's cookie shop so close, any stop to one is going to bring us into the other. This is a great addition to Main St I hope everyone will check out.

I do think the gallery could use some updating - it doesn't have your typical "gallery" feel. Instead it feels more like an outdated office with some early 90s looking carpet and fluorescent light fixtures. The sign outside also looks run down. But building aside, there is some great local art that's worth a look!
