Feeling very special I can't wait to return and discover more unforgettable treasures! I'm so happy. Purchased two beautiful handmade purses, two vintage shirts, and an exquisite 3M Bookshelf Game that's over 60 years old and still looks BRAND NEW! How cool is that?

I have to - reluctantly - call this place out as being pretty lame…read more After exploring the only antique store in town, I decided to checkout a couple of thrift stores. I went to the Riverside Thrift Shop today. Apparently, it opened only a few months ago. Being fresh and new, by all rights, they should be totally on top of their game. 1) The main problem is it's too darn small. It's little more than one small narrow room. (I think my living room at home is bigger than this store!) As a result, there isn't much inventory...mostly garage sale type stuff...not enough to pick through and find something you might like. There's a HUGE warehouse in back of this building. If THAT was part of the store and filled with stuff too, you'd really have something great. But that's not the case. 2) The dude running the shop ignored us, never smiled, never spoke, and he was completely devoid of any customer service skills whatsoever. Not cool. This definitely sealed the deal and made me not want to ever walk through the door again. There always seems to be at least one crazy person shopping at every thrift store I go to, even a super small one like Riverside. Indeed, I came across one. There was a wild eyed lady buying a dozen ceramic ducks. Despite the sparse inventory, this woman had managed to locate every duck on the premises. She had a whole flock of ducks spread out on the counter. Pretty funny. Not worth the stop. -Daddy Maxx Retro

We happened upon this store while driving through town. I went inside to look for one thing:…read moreartisan cheese. On my quick walk through the store, I could see it was clean, well-stocked, and organized. A number of people were at their bakery case on that Saturday morning, which bodes well for delicious things. I found the cheese right away, and the selection was fantastic with a good variety of imports, local makers, and some of Wisconsin's finest. I found some new ones to buy, which pleased me greatly. I would love to come here again in the future, and perhaps explore more of the store.

This just strikes me as odd for a co op, especially when GAC is able to provide it all over their campus. I don't love the sandwiches here the same way my college kid does, but they are perfectly decent and it is an easy place to pick up lunch. Prices are a little high, but not unreasonable.
