I've been coming to Bojons for years, spending $200-$300 every time my family visits. But after our…read moremost recent experience, we will never be back. In my 41 years, I have never experienced such obvious racism. From the moment we walked in, one of the employees followed my family around the store--without even trying to be discreet. Looking over her shoulder while trying to pretend she was folding a pair of jeans that was already folded. It was so obvious that we finally confronted the manager about it. Instead of denying it, the manager all but admitted that they thought we were stealing something. When we told them we'd respect it more if you just came right out and accused us the response was, "We're not supposed to approach you until you put something in your bag." In other words, they assumed we were thieves but didn't have the nerve to just say it outright. If Bojons wants to follow customers around based on their own prejudices, they should at least be honest about it. We would have respected it more if they had just come out and said, "We think you're stealing, so we're going to track your every move." Instead, they tried to act like this was just their "policy." Spending our hard-earned money at this store year after year clearly meant nothing. Bojons has lost our business for good, and I hope others take note of how they treat paying customers.

The downside is the poor quality of candy and especially the chocolate. They charge an added premium for the chocolate candy even though it was cheap and tasted old/stale.

I have some major complaints about Michelle, the Gallery Director, that I would like to address…read morewith the board. I have been treated rudely for the past three years by her. I submitted a compaint through the website that was intercepted by Michelle, and she emailed me back with excuses about "procedures" that were complete and utter BS. My last interaction with her was on January 15, 2026, when I arrived for a class and she yelled at me as I was moving my watercolor supplies to the classroom, angrily telling me that I was NOT signed up for the class and was not allowed to go in the classroom. I WAS signed up, and as I tried to show her my Apple Card transaction to Port Aransas Art Center, she essentially called me a liar. I had paid for the class on January 6th through the website, and my card was charged $45. She demanded an email receipt, which I was unable to locate because I was flustered and angry...there were other people also trying to check in, and I felt embarrassed at being accused of somehow cheating the art center. She eventually found my registration, but I was humiliated in front of other students, and she still tried to make it MY FAULT. This is NOT normal. She literally yelled at me over the other girl working there and DEMANDED that I stop walking towards the classroom, as she came out of the office in what seemed like an attempt to physically prevent me from going in. We already spend 50% more for the watercolor class (price went up for the weekly class from $30 a couple years ago), and Michelle absolutely destroyed my creativity that day. I did almost nothing in class because I was so shaken. This is not an isolated incident, and she's been rude and hateful to me (and others) for about the last three years. I would like to address this with someone on the board (not her spouse or significant other). I submitted a long email with events from the last three years, although I've been coming to the center for over ten years. In the last three years alone, I've donated cash to the center, purchased art, paid class fees, donated art supplies, and a few years back donated two jewelry items that I created, valued over $500, for an auction to benefit the center. The total for the past three years, not counting the jewelry items, is over $1,540. And yet I'm still treated rudely, EVERY TIME I visit the center. I have never done anything to deserve this. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss with one or more board members what's been happening. Michelle is not going to forward my email, and she's making excuses for her rudeness...there is never an excuse to yell at or make snarky, nasty, hateful comments to someone who has gone out of their way to support the center. The Art Center was a big part of why we chose Port Aransas to spend thousands of dollars in the local economy each year for the past 15 years. Next year, if we return, I will make sure to sign up for watercolor lessons at the rec center instead. If you're on the board, look up the receipts...I paid for a watercolor class with Carrie on January 6th through the website. I also just donated $100 to the rain barrel project on the 13th or 14th. I live in Colorado and we come down in January and February each year. You can find my contact info there, or reach out to me through the Yelp messaging center.
