While the store isn't huge there were still some interesting items I found to buy. Combined with coffee and tacos it made the trip worthwhile. Pro tip- don't park in the $8 lot across the street if lot full. There is plenty of free neighborhood street parking right next to it.

What a fun and eclectic shop! We were looking for murals - especially the GREETINGS FROM BURQUE…read moremural - and found this shop. We saw the plants in the window, and they had the succulents we were looking for as well as other attractive house plants. As we wandered the store, we looked at the gently used women's wear (beautiful dresses, and unique jackets), books, and kitschy items that include items men (and women) would like for camping or traveling. As we checked out, we noticed some fun stickers. I bought one for my niece: " Cool Girls Care." The gentlemen who checked us out was personable and helpful. He told us his store had only been here a month. He also told us where our mural was located - around the corner! So glad we found it and this shop. Both were memorable!

I got 2 mugs. One for my boss with a saying he says all the time and one for myself! My son had so much fun walking around and petting the very friendly dogs belonging to the employees/owner? Not sure. But they did great with my son. We especially enjoyed the hidden passages! Will be back for sure for more coffee and unique gifts!

I turned around and she didn't even pretend like she was doing something else. She just walked away. I thought maybe it was a coincidence. I saw this amazing looking, expensive dark chocolate and I was about to give into temptation to buy it, and then the lady came around behind me to stare at what I had and then ran back to the register. I put the chocolate down, said loudly "I can't I'm good conscience spend my money here." And left.

The entire time I was in Albuquerque I was on the lookout for the perfect gift for my dad. I kept…read morefinding cool stuff but nothing that wowed me. Nothing that had that New Mexico vibe that my dad would actually use or display. Enter the last day in Albuquerque: I still didn't have a gift picked out. I decided to take my chances at the Albuquerque airport. This shop is one of the first shops we came to. At first, I was worried. Airport shopping. Airport gift shopping. Convenience. Touristy. I'm going to make a small house payment on a gift, right? Wrong! I came across these tiles there. It was already on my mind that I wanted something with a roadrunner on it. I knew my dad would display something with a roadrunner proudly. After all, since they aren't in Kentucky, I don't think he has ever seen one. Even in Albuquerque, I only saw two! I ended up with a tile with the shape of a roadrunner on it. Honestly, I almost wanted to keep the gift for myself. This is a great shop to find a quick and inexpensive gift for someone back home. This visit was gift buying, but on future visits, I wouldn't mind having a few items from this store myself. It was made even better by my dad hanging the tile as soon as I gave it to him!

This is the best place in Albuquerque to buy Catholic gifts…read more The store has some of the lowest prices for everything, medallions, rosaries, books, statues, and it all goes to support the local Ruthenian Catholic Church (who knew there were non-Roman Catholics, right?!) The gentleman who runs it is actually a Maronite Catholic (what are all these random other Catholics from around the world, seriously). He's very friendly and he cut me a deal when I purchased two of the more pricey icons. As icons go, they have a very, very large selection and the prices are fantastic. The selection of books is also very good, and very orthodox. You won't find any books written by dissenters in here. I highly, highly recommend it if you have friends soon to be confirmed, receive first Holy Communion, and so forth. If you're an icon addict like me, then you also need to shop here.

I love shopping for my kiddos here, you'll often find the same type of accessories you see at Claire's and other mall shops, but for prices that are comparably pennies on the dollar. The head shop in the back has great glass pipes and unique tchotchkes. Celeste herself is a gem of a person as well, I always love stopping in for a quick frivolous shop and chat.

I got 2 clearance items at the "buy one at marked price and get the other for $1 sale - a Deathstroke wallet and a lovely scented candle. There's tons of fandoms worth of stuff in there and it's like a fans dream come true. The employees were so nice and helpful and it seemed like if someone was helping you, that person was your team member, because the same girl found me again just to make sure I was okay and when I was checking out they asked who had helped me. The girl at the register was also very nice and we talked Overwatch for a bit! It's great having nice employees at the helm of a fandom related store. I felt welcomed and I felt at home there. (could use a bit more superhero merch, but I think a few of the shelvings may rotate over seasons etc) And the concept? Oh my god, it couldn't be better! To give a portion of proceeds to feed the homeless is amazing. I'll have to take a look and see how they're doing it and see if there's other ways to help. Love love LOVE this place!

Went into the new store in Albuquerque today 1 Nov 16 at 8:30pm. First impression, totally sucked…read more Wandered around the store for about 10 minutes. Just me in the store. Nobody said a word to me. No "Hi" or "Can I help you" nothing. I walked around. I stopped at a few items for a closer look. But, with no concern for me, why would I want to spend money there? I was excited for a new store to open. Liked the idea behind it. Quite the let down. Wouldn't be surprised if it closes soon. Because, the two ladies that were there could care less about helping anyone. Unfortunately, the idea behind the store, where a portion of what is purchased goes towards feeding the homeless, (Found that out on the website) will suffer with these two at the helm. (Could be a good selling point for employees to greet you and tell you about the company's goal.) The Homeless will stay hungry with them working there. Sorry, honest opinion. There were a couple of other guys in there, and sadly, I think they were being trained by the two that were there. Might consider some close supervision and a little remedial training for those employees.
