We had some time to kill and were looking for a non-chain coffee spot. This one was close by and…read morehad great reviews. So we decided to give them a try. We had a little difficulty finding it. GPS brought us to the parking lot behind the building. There isn't clear signage to direct you where to go. We managed to find our way up the stairs and into the building. There are a number of businesses located inside. Lucky Tree is super cute. It's set up to encourage working, with plenty of charging spots all around. There is a variety of seating, from long wooden tables to smaller individual areas. We ordered a chai latte and golden milk latte, both with oat milk. Both drinks were good. Fyi there is a separate entrance from the side that takes you directly to another smaller parking lot.

This is a place I wish was closer to my home. Thankfully it's not to far away. Very cool relaxing…read moreenvironment. Friendly staff. Good menu selection. A variety of seating options. And a variety of things for sale in the front. I got the iced vanilla maple, it was phenomenal. It had the right amount of sweetness with a great flavor. Also the almond butter cookie was soft and flavorful. I will be back. Thank you for a great experience.

We were trying to find a gift shop to help commemorate our trip to Raleigh. It turned out to be a…read moredifficult feat. I found this one last second with about a half an hour before closing 11 minutes away from us. So we sped off get there in time. When we got there and walked through the little pink door, it was the cutest little shop. So my friend is visiting from Scotland and we wanted to get some kind of necklace or piece of jewelry that matched. They have a great selection. We opted for some lava rock bracelets that help with communication, truth, and strength. I grabbed a little shot glass that said North Carolina on it because I have to have a trinket from every trip I make. When we were checking out, she said that somebody wanted to donate a basket to somebody that they had bought and wasn't gonna pick up so we ended up getting a free basket from Krystal! That was the sweetest thing. We were like two little school girls opening it up and dividing all of the little snacks inside. So thank you for making the end of our trip wonderful!!

Amazing service and products!…read more Our company always gets gift baskets for our customers for Christmas. We've used a popular online company for years, but this year, they messed up our order and we had to scramble to find a plan B! After doing some research we found Gingham & Posh. We loved how we could design the gift boxes with the colors of our company logo. The staff was great to work with and finished our boxes in a great time frame, even with the Christmas rush! We ended up going with the NC boxes. We've received many compliments from our customers of how much they loved their gifts. We loved how we were supporting a local business with Gingham & Posh, as well as supporting the businesses represented within the boxes. We're so glad our Plan A didn't work out this year. From now on, Gingham & Posh will be our go to for gift baskets!

Deco Raleigh is located in Downtown Raleigh on Salisbury Street. The iconic neon sign caught my…read moreattention and drew me in after a walking tour of Raleigh. The store opened back in 2012 and moved to its current larger spot in 2018. At the time, it was the only place downtown to buy a card and a gift. The building was once the NC State Bar's headquarters. Parking is on the street or at a nearby garage, so it can be somewhat challenging. Did you know that Pam Blondin, the owner, campaigned and built Raleigh's first parklet, and she commissioned the city's first sidewalk mural? She is a true pioneer of downtown's public culture. Deco Raleigh is an upscale gift shop with curated gifts. I thought the store was a good size and bigger than it appeared from the street. But the aisles were a little narrow in places. The store carries work from over 100 North Carolinian artisans. Inside, there is pottery, artwork, jewelry, textiles, apparel, home decor, puzzles, books, cards, and other unique finds. The store carries the "Raleigh" and "North Carolina" themed items. You'll also find some gourmet food items. The custom wrapping station makes things so convenient. It is the ideal place to browse and find a thoughtful gift for someone, or just buy something for yourself. The store design is warm, welcoming, and a total visual treat to explore. I'll definitely be back!

Love this store! So much to see and so many unique brands and artists…read more We spent about 1/2 hour in Deco Raleigh, but could have stayed longer and spent a lot of money. Bought a clever dish towel from BlueQ, some magnets, bookmarks and some very unique gifts. Highly recommend!

I bought an expensive small LED light. I charged it overnight per directions. When I turned it on,…read moreit flickered on and off. I tried a couple of times, and it finally worked. My daughter came by, and I tried to show it to her. Neither of us could get the switch to work. My husband dropped it off less than 24 hours from the time of purchase. The light switched on at the store, so she refused to refund us for the faulty light. My husband finally got her to give us a store credit. I was going to give it two stars but because the store has lovely items, some staff are helpful, and I've made several purchases, I put three. I like to support local shops, but I don't like to give my business to people who don't value their customers.

The owner is older and very friendly; she even invited a kid in a stroller into the store and…read morehanded him a stuffed bear to entertain himself with. Since I figured the kid was probably more of a hazard to the breakables than me, I ventured in behind. This place is shelved to the gills. There was a sale going on the day I went, so women were digging through piles of embroidered napkins and other things I don't yet have a use for. Some beautiful table-top and glassware to be sure, but mostly I felt like I had to be careful not to knock over any of the pretties with my purse. The one thing I felt safe enough to finger was the shelf of pastel-colored wallets, change purses, and passport covers. A nice store for those whose income and lifestyle allow for it.

A group of us discovered this lovely store today while walking around the courtyard after brunch. We were immediately greeted when we walked in. I was amazed by the variety inside and just the options for that perfect gift or something for yourself, too. They had clothing, mementos, cards, games, books, home decor, jewelry, gourmet foods, journals, and so much more. They have a lot of items with quotes that I love, including one with Jim Valvano's message. They even have a gift-wrapping section to wrap your purchase. Whether you're shopping for a birthday or just want to treat yourself, this local gem is a must-visit in the Village. I will definitely be back!

Do you not really cook and yet want guests to compliment your 'cooking' when entertaining?…read more Be like me, and come here to pick up only the best curated cheeseball and cracker mixes, popcorn and nut mixes, and cocktail mixers...because no one needs to know how easy it was on you. Also they sometimes sample out a mean rum punch, y'all, and I want the recipe. Meanwhile, you end up browsing the plethora of goods, from floor to high ceiling, and your teen thanks you for her new buttery soft socks and you come home looking fabulous in a faux fur poncho you never knew you needed. They even carry oil paintings from local artists, one of which is now a delightful addition to our holiday decor. I also noticed a nice university gear section - we just have to figure out what side we're on. Whether you're for Pack, Heels, or Devils, there is a particularly posh selection of college gifts here. I like their people too. They'll hold all your stuff for you when you came for one thing but keep browsing and picking up more. The owner is like that classy auntie who's more fun than you and knows where to get all the good stuff, so you don't have to. And they gift wrap! Bottom line: This store makes me happy. Go visit and sample the spicy crackers.
