Man do I like finding hidden gems like Maxwell's Mercantile. This place flat out rocks. It's hard…read moreto find good quality stuff these days as the department stores offer mostly cheapo crap. We loaded up on a couple great cast iron pieces and some of the best quality kitchen utensils. Finally, we have real spatulas. Also had to pick up several bottles of small lot maple syrup from Vermont. Funny thing is, I travel there for business and prices at Maxwell's Emporium are the same as they are there but if you buy in Vermont, it actually costs more after including tax thanks to all "the Bernie's". We will most definitely be back..

Cockrell Mercantile is such a fun place to visit. The old-time feel and huge selection of gifts,…read morecandy, spices, and kitchen goods make it worth the trip. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the shops are full of unique finds you don't see anywhere else. It's one of those places you can wander around and always discover something new. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome and we even got to try some delicious caramel apple tea which we had to bring home. I can't wait to go back and take family and friends.

There are multiple small buildings with various types of kitchen, baking and cookware, dish ware and some clothing & bags. My favorite buildings are the General Store and Morton House. There is a large selection of choices! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. We were there in the hour before closing. The building not in the General Store had closed out their cash drawers. They offered to walk us over to the main store to check out there.

BEWARE : This place is a SCAM !…read more They use three different websites which operate randomly. They never answer their phones and when they do it goes straight to a recording. The Customer Service 'manager' sends you an email and when you reply to it, it bounces back as 'undeliverable' They took THREE weeks to fulfill a simple order which they got all wrong after all. No wonder they don't subscribe to PayPal. Do yourself a favor and save yourself a lot of grief - shop someplace else.

Everywhere I turned, around every corner there was something that caught my eye and interest, especially all the unique food items, many hand-crafted by well-known independent companies in the KC Metro area. And the most extensive variety of Stonewall Kitchen jams, jellies, and preserves of every sort! I swooned at the sight of Pink Grapefruit Marmalade...you just can't leave here empty handed! Gift-able items galore, sure to please, because you know YOU want them too! Kitchen and housewares, unique grocery items, games...an almost endless variety. It's just delightful place to shop and browse. And be sure to try the epic assortment of the locally produced Polly's Pop!

I had visited this store a few years back and remembered it fondly as a cute store with neat…read morekitchen nick nacks and delectable food items. However, while in the area I decided to stop by since I am in the midst of a kitchen remodel, and I did not like the vibe I received from the woman in the store. I do not believe that she was the proprietor but someone who seemed to have hawkish eyes and a bit of cynical skepticism about her. I do not present myself like the regular provincial type of women from these parts. I am cool and confident and humble (but not in that Mary Kay way, if you know what I mean). It seems that I didn't fit her particular vision of who she wanted in there. B.T.W, I was the only there and am not surprised if this is because others have felt the same. I almost was about to purchase something that I liked but decided that I could definitely find it elsewhere.

Bed Bath & Sometimes Better. I have had very inconsistent service at the BB&B. I have had customer…read moresales reps who love to help and who go out of their way to help. Other times I have had customer service representatives who would not even acknowledge your presence. I have even had a little of both. I have found the most luck with ordering online and picking up in store. That way I can bypass my luck with the customer reps. The last time I was there I had asked them to gift wrap a package which they have done in the past. Well, their new system is DIY gift wrap. They have boxes, tape, wrap and a whole wrapping station set up in the store. I had to wrap two very large purchases and it was quite the mess. I got frustrated by the process and the lack of help I was getting. Still, having the wrapping materials there was a very big help. BB&B has a good selection of products and a wide variety, too. They always seem to have well stocked shelves, as well. The prices are reasonable on some things but very expensive on other items. You have to comparison shop for sure. I have many things cheaper elsewhere. I have never tried to match prices here so I cannot speak to that part of the BB&B experience. I do know they have mobile coupons and those are very useful. Overall a good store because of the product selection. I am three starring them because of the spotty and downright horrible customer service I have received in the past.

For a guy that pretty much stays away from stores like this, I dunno, I kind of like the place and think 4 stars works just fine for me. Tons of parking right off the door, and everyone was friendly. Well lit, organized in a way I could understand, seems plenty to like. Who knows, I may come again in 10 years, but for now, not seeing any down side to the store of Bs.
