They are two of my absolute favorite See's Candies employees. They deserve a raise or generous bonuses--their hard work should be better compensated! They are incredibly hardworking and responsible employees. Mila holds down two jobs: she works both in security and at See's Candies. It is a very demanding job--one that also involves a certain amount of risk. Yet she loves helping people--she is simply a wonderful young woman! She deserves higher pay for the magnificent service she provides to every single customer. I just want everyone to know what a truly remarkable person Mila is. May God bless her and her work! I sincerely hope that management reads this review and awards her some additional bonuses.

Me, I'd had quite a day. Not awful but a barrage of stupidity from two colleagues and some other luxury annoyances. When I walked into sees to buy my children a lollipop (lost to one in game of chess) and wanted to get my boss a few chocolates. I was greeted by Wendy and Tobi Soon as I walked in. A new flavor scotchmallow was out and tasty bought some and some brittle along with nougat. Anyway nothing like people who extend a kindness. My grandmother used to tell us not to be greedy as a smidge of goodness goes along way if we all pass it on. Thank you for sweeting up my day Wendy & Tobi!!

Love this store! I want everything they carry, everything! Specializing in items made locally, the…read morebreadth of items representing Portland is quite impressive. Jewelry by local artisans mingle with bottles and cans of hard cider, beer and wine. Immediately I noticed the beer type bottles containing Pinot Gris from Coopers Hall, a local taproom. What a fabulous idea for bottles in the go. Don't even get me started in the adorable cat toys! Not your everyday Crayola crayon colors found at pet stores, but soft muted sage, gray, cream, pale blue colors that go with your home decor. In cute Portland icon shapes like doughnuts, fish and even a bag of toys shaped like tortellini for foodies like me. Seriously, adorable! The hand crafted ceramic coffee mugs and bowls were equally functional and art to brighten your space. A corner dedicated to music is in the back right part of the store - they sell their music and offer recording options. Yep, you heard that right. Reusable bags, beautiful canvas totes, cotton long and short sleeve shirts with various sayings, soaps, lotions and bath bombs. For Foodies There Jacobsens's Salt, Oregon Toffees with every add-in combo, jams, gourmet chocolate and more! A section with books on Portland and OR trails with treats for campfires, candles, stickers, travel mugs in plaid - they have curated a fabulous collection! The interior is so pleasing with the white walls and light wood geometric display shelves car creating a mid century vibe. Customer service was warm and friendly, offering assistance and background info on the store. There is another location downtown Portland and one on SE Hawthorne. How have I never stumbled upon Tender Loving Empire before? I'm a shopper and definitely their demographic. Will be visiting all of the stores frequently!

This is my favorite Zupans location! It doesn't have the chaos of the NW 23rd location and it's not…read moreas cramped as the Macadam location. The parking lot is easy to access and the store flows well. The prices are higher than average. I'll never do all of my shopping here. But I like the aesthetics of the displays and I like that it's a local business. This particular spot has above average customer service as well. A great place to stop if you need fresh flowers or a delicious pastry or baked item. The coffee bar is actually pretty decent and their produce is pretty legit. However, I've always found that the wine selection is what makes it most distinctive. Definitely a specialty grocery store but a place worth checking out and visiting every so often when you feel like a special treat for yourself or someone special. Happy shopping!

Zupan's is the kind of grocery store that makes you forget you came in for just one thing. This…read morelocation feels polished and well-run, with beautiful produce, a strong deli and prepared foods section, and shelves full of items you don't see at a standard supermarket. The quality is consistently high, meats, cheeses, bakery, and especially the wine selection all stand out. It's an easy place to put together a last-minute dinner that still feels impressive, whether that's grabbing a great cut of meat or leaning on the ready-to-eat options. Prices are definitely on the higher side, but you're paying for selection, freshness, and convenience. Staff are helpful and friendly, and the store feels calm and organized even when it's busy. Not an everyday grocery run for most people, but an excellent spot when quality matters or you want something special.

Every single person who's ever made up apart of the artist collective at Milieu, that I've ever met, has been nothing short of magick.
