We bought several things (cards, trinkets, a book) and paid thinking it was high but surely it must be correct because they're using a calculator. I printed a receipt upon payment but was given only a cc payment receipt and not an itemized invoice. When I got home and added everything up it was ~$30 less than what I paid (not including the almost $4 charge to pay by cc which as a cashless business is the only option). Lucca is giving small businesses a bad rep and should be ashamed of themselves. I will not be going back. I'm giving two stars instead of one to recognize the selection of goods in which they'll use to take advantage of you.

I attended a romance improv that was surprisingly funny and met a lot of cool people. CLASSES. A variety of craft classes where you can meet new people and learn something new. There are also lots of craft supplies you could buy in the store. The owner is also lovely to talk with and since they just opened has been so willing to hear from customers and make fine-tunes. Wishing her and SC all the best! Pro Tip: if you're an adventurous romance reader, check out the mysterious bookcase on the back wall.

Oh my goodness, what a crazy, bright, interesting, and well-staffed store. They have so many disparate types of goods, from flooring to shoes, clothes to gifts and housewares. And more, so much more. I appreciate the range in price from nearly every budget and that some of the items are one-offs so it's not as if everyone will have it. Customer service was prompt and friendly but they also let me look at my leisure without asking me constantly if I needed help. It's a fine line between helpful and pushy and they know just how to handle it. I look forward to my next trip to buy something for me!

Instead, you want to look like you gave a darn about the gift or things in your house. You want to impress others with the number of items that are not to be found in other homes, because they are scarce to begin with.

I had an awful experience and am pretty upset about it. Don't order online from them. They jam your…read moreentire order, no matter the value, into a single USPS package, which is only insured for up to $100, and with their brand plastered on the outside, making it a target for mail theft but impossible to be fully reimbursed for if/when the contents get stolen. After a number of emails back and forth, they were not able to send me the original mailing receipt which is required to file a claim with USPS, so it seems unlikely I'll get anything from the claim anyways. They even gave me a "tip" that I should look into getting a secure mailbox, as if that would prevent an empty box from being delivered in the first place. In the end, I spent $140 for a box with nothing more than tissue paper and promotional material. Oh, did I mention they generously offered to send me the products again if I pay 60% more than I already paid? Thanks, but definitely not going to throw more money in your direction only to lose it again. Update: Just to clarify, this is not a case of mailbox theft...I was physically delivered an empty box by the carrier. There is always risk involved with shipping, and as the shipper, it's your responsibility to ship in a way that reasonably reduces risk and puts shipping liability on the carrier. Since you put more than $100 of your product in a box that's only covered for up to $100, you put the risk on the customer. I can't possibly be refunded now. You also could have reduced risk within reason by not advertising on the outside of the box that there is jewelry inside.

I didn't think there was a top notch stationery store in Seattle, but I was wrong! Now, you may be…read morethinking of Paper Luxe, but you have to pay an arm and a leg at Paper Luxe for a card worth buying. At Portage Bay Goods, they only charge an arm. Kidding but also not kidding? Stationery is an expensive hobby, but the prices are a bit higher here compared to other big city independent stationery/gift stores I've seen in the last six months. I'm only talking $1-$1.5 difference, but when specialty cards usually start at $4-$5, that's a 20% price difference. Do with what you will. I still love to pick up some stationery everywhere I go, and Portage Bay Goods has a fantastic collection. The cards are fairly diverse in style and sense of humor, along with a nice array of cute and endearing cards. If you're looking for serious cards / letterpress / wedding-style paper, this is probably not the place for you (go check out Pike Street Letterpress!), but this is a great one-stop shop for all other stationery lovers.
