We just bought some cedar for a fence we are building. They ordered exactly what we needed and…read morecalled us as soon as it got in. I was impressed because usually we have to do the calling to find out if our product has come in. And two people helped bring it out to the truck! They were so friendly and nice and personable. Not like some places that don't care about the customer at all. You could tell they genuinely enjoyed their job, and that's the kind of business I enjoy being at.

I recently purchased cedar fencing from this business. I spent over $700 here and I can't remember…read moreever experiencing such rudeness from a business before. I was told the wood I was purchasing was quality wood. That the knots wouldn't be larger than 1 1/2 inches and no knot holes. Probably 30% of the wood had large knots, knot holes, and a lot of split and damaged pieces. We managed to cut around and make all of the boards work except 2 boards. When I went to return the two boards and get a few extra I was "helped" by the rudest person I've probably ever had to deal with. From the moment I walked up to the counter he acted like I was disturbing him. He came out to the pile of boards, pointed at the ones I needed to choose from and then as he walked away said "try not to make a mess!" I have made many purchases from city lumber since I bought my home 10 years ago. I believe I have spent enough here to not be treated like a child. I don't know how this business keeps customers if this is how they treat everyone. I will drive to Portland to buy lumber before I will give this place my business again. City Lumber just lost a customer.

They are 'cool' when you go in and this last time, didn't know their inventory when my husband had just called, and never said "Thank You". It seems, especially in this time of so many businesses closing, that they would be grateful for customer business. But we won't be going in there again after their lack of help and customer service. Maybe they believe that because they're the only business like this in our immediate area that they can get away with this behavior. But I'm posting here and will write to them personally. Too bad.

First of all, perfect name for a kitchen supply store. Mise en Place [1] makes me think of Anthony…read moreBourdain and his book, Kitchen Confidential. Although I don't imagine anything sordid happening at this location. They are totally classing up the joint. This kitchen boutique is connected to their restaurant, Baked Alaska. It one of those stores where you say, "Wow, that's cool. I didn't know I needed that, but now I do." Everything from onion goggles to poaching pouches. You can find it here. There is a small display kitchen for cooking classes and it was a fun place to shop while we waited for our meals to arrive. [1] Mise en place is a French phrase defined by the Culinary Institute of America as "everything in place", as in set up. It is used in professional kitchens to refer to organizing and arranging the ingredients that a cook will require for the menu items that he or she expects to prepare during his/her shift.

What a gorgeous, treasure trove of a store!…read more When my friend and I wandered inside, we had no idea how large it was, how full of beautiful and various things, and how long we would spend here! We were welcomed by a friendly staff member on the first floor where you can find some antiques and collectibles and lots of quality glassware, blankets, jewelry, candles and room scents. On the second floor we found room after room of absolutely stunning home decor of all kinds - furniture, art, sconces, lights, posters, art, and more. I saw about 300 things I would love to have in my home and I saw even more that I could find somewhere to put it if I only had the space. This is a gorgeous store and a must see if you are in Cannon Beach. If I lived anywhere nearby, this would certainly be a place that I'd come to find items for my home. There was enough variety in the treasures inside that almost anyone, with any style, would be able to find items to please their tastes. There were improvements and construction ongoing while we were here but it looks like it'll be even more lovely once complete.

My house is filled with these unique items and the quality is top notch.

It's also Ron and Debbie's home & workshop, which they were gracious enough to show us. If we hadn't found what we wanted- no problem- they are silversmiths people- they will MAKE YOU WHAT YOU WANT!
