The varieties of plants are abundant. They even have lemon grass ($20.00 for a dried out plant) to my surprise. However, with the heat most plants I saw were dying or dried out not cared for to good. The Prices for these unkept plants were comparable to most gardens only the care of them were much desired. There was a clearance section but even that I had to pass by.

"Holy Riddle Batman!"…read more Do I buy cigars, candles or bus tickets to Manhattan? This little shop is a cigar, candles/fragrances and a short line bus ticket seller but it's mostly a fragrance candle shop. The shop is run by an absolutely lovely couple simply living the American dream of running a business. The shop consist of about 25% cigars and 75% candles and fragrances. Their website claims, "the largest cigar shop in Orange County" which is a big claim. However I'd argue this isn't the largest cigar shop in the county BUT it is the shop that has the very best selection of high quality cigars in one shop. When I saw the selection of top brands I thought, "Wow they don't have a huge walk in humidor but the selection of top quality brands is amazing!!" I walked out with the unicorn of cigars an Opus X Lost City stick! There is no cigar lounge but they do have a great selection of cigar and smoking accessories. The majority of the store is candles and fragrance products for your home or office. They also are a seller of bus tickets for the regional bus service to areas adjacent to the Orange County area (i.e. Manhattan). If you're in the area looking for a quality stick or a fragrance for home because you want to mask the smell of those silent but deadly ones you let loose, stop in and check out this cute little shop. The owners are a gem to the community!

I went in looking for a gift for the host of a Cigar/Wine Dinner I was invited to. Cecilia took the time and came out from behind the counter to help me with possible options for a gift.

They even gift wrapped the two travel humidors I purchased for free. I will be back. I highly recommend The Depot for this upcoming Father's Day for sure. They also carry candles, incense and other items you wont find elsewhere. An asset to the Monroe Village Business Community. Thank You.

The flavors here are all the ones across the board, and they even have non-dairy versions of some. There are little cubes, jelly fruit flavors, and other styles, too. All by the pound or you can pick by # for a price (50 truffles for $25, etc.). They have all the classic and some new flavors. Fun little shop. They also have a members' program you can sign up for online to get points towards future credits and purchases. One staffer was very cheerful and helpful, another was pretty dour, literally saying "drop the bag on the scale, don't touch me." huh. Not really here to touch the person at all... but sure, I won't get close. Maybe they were having a bad day? Love the colors on the truffle wall. And they have various gift boxes and discounted sets of chocolates at the front. Good gifts.

I called ahead to make sure the shop was open, and that I wouldn't be interrupting an appointment and was told by the owner Sienna to come down and she'd help me with the gift. The shop is beautiful from bottom to top. Lots of plants and you immediately feel welcome. Metaphysical practices, reiki, stones, readings, these are all interesting things to me but by no means something I have a knowledge of. Sienna was incredible accommodating and helpful putting together a perfect group of stones and crystals for my wife's friend and even throwing in some free incense and other items. All of this is great, but it was what happened at checking out that really made me want to write a review and hope it helps her business, especially since I don't really use yelp much anymore, I'd rather only write positive reviews for great experiences than anything else. At checkout I noticed a plant I used to have. Sort of a creeping vine leafed plant. My toddler poured a ton of juice in it and unfortunately it died. Without even saying anything else after identifying it for me which I have already unfortunately forgot, but I'll make a point to look it up through a photo later, she cut a clipping and gifted it to me in a small glass with water completely free of charge. This was a small gesture, but it meant a lot. The plant that I previously had that died was my mothers, who was killed 6 years ago now. So even though she was unaware of that, the gesture was very meaningful to me. If I ever need anything from this shop, I wouldn't hesitate to come back here, or refer a friend in need. An amazing place.

My Jimmy Choo Nightmare -- A Cautionary Tale I splurged over…read more$700 on a pair of Jimmy Choo sandals. Seven hundred dollars. For that kind of money, you'd expect exceptional quality, right? Wrong. I wore them exactly ONE time, and the sole was already worn down. One wear. Let that sink in. So I called their customer service, and that's where the real nightmare began. For two months -- TWO MONTHS -- they gave me the runaround. They refused to replace the shoes. They refused a refund. Eventually, after endless calls and emails, they graciously agreed to repair them for free -- even though at first they wanted to charge me for the repair of their own defective product. Then they handed the shoes off to UPS... and UPS lost them. For a month. After yet another month of back and forth, the shoes were finally repaired and returned. And the cherry on top? Their idea of compensation for this entire ordeal was -- wait for it -- a whopping 10% discount on my next purchase. My next purchase?! There will be no next purchase. Ever. Let me be clear: I paid luxury prices and received dollar-store customer service. Months of my time wasted, zero accountability, and an insultingly small discount as a "sorry." Shame on you, Jimmy Choo. Your customer service is an absolute disgrace. If this is how you treat the people who spend hundreds of dollars on your brand, you don't deserve a single one of them. Save your money, friends. #JimmyChoo #NeverAgain #WorthCustomerService #LuxuryFail #ShameOnYou #CustomerServiceNightmare
