I like the unique selection of goods from bath care to bento lunchboxes. Each plant is labeled and has insight on how to care for it which is helpful for folks that aren't sure about the level of commitment that plant would need. The owner is friendly, asked us where we were visiting from and got to talking about places of travel which was nice.

Visited 4/28 with a friend, friend was indulging me because I always need to find a plant store,…read moreeven in a touristy spot such as Salem. Plants are a bit pricy but that's to be expected. Still found myself a Hoya in 2" pot for $5ish and splurged on a tiny air plant in a tiny ceramic pot for $15 (ouch). But it was super cute and I decided to treat myself as a souvenir. Selection is ok, the store is pretty tiny. CS is decent. Eg almost non-existent but no one followed me or my friend (both not Caucasian) around either.

The selection is incredible everything from adorable plushies to cutesy socks, unique gifts, & even seasonal treats. I was especially impressed by the variety. There's truly something for everyone! The prices are fair which is perfect b/c you will not leave out of here w/o purchasing something. I picked up a box of Olde Boston saltwater taffy (based out of Boston,Ma. Of course)for my nephew. He said it was the best salt water taffy he ever had. The staff was friendly,helpful,& very knowledgeable on their merch and where everything was located. If you're a fan of Halloween, novelty items, or just love discovering unique gifts, this shop is a must visit in Salem. It's charming, festive,& full of little treasures that make every visit memorable!

This is a super cute shop. I was looking specifically for a coffee mug and magnets. Surprisingly,…read morethere are quite a few shops that I popped in to with neither or some things that were a bit too kitschy for what I was wanting. Prices are a little expensive for what I am used to, but I like that they're a small business and locally owned. I feel like the quality does reflect the price so I am happy to spend a little more in the case. Very cute place to browse and I did get my cute coffee mug and magnets.

Another great experience with Waters and Brown! I was there on a Saturday, they are extremely…read morecautious with COVID-19 concerns, and only allowed 2 people in the store at a time.

Yes, you'll pay more for their paint than you would at say, Home Depot but it is so worth it…read more Don't believe me? Then try it for yourself! Go to Home Depot and show the guy behing the paint counter a swatch of your granite countertop and ask him what color he would recommend considering you have cherry cabinetry. Then, when he's done laughing at you, go to Waters & Brown and show your granite swatch to Sam and Lauren (I think her name is.) That's what I did and they immediately both thought of the same color, Quahog. So much darker than I ever wanted to go but wow, just the right color. Then Sam suggested Oxygen (a pale blue) for the ceiling and a color called America's Cup for the trim. The America's Cup (an off white) threw my husband into fits of worry. Will it be too yellow? Will it look dirty and dingy? Sam, promised it wouldn't and explained why . . . and he was right. So right, that my husband went back and asked him what color we should paint the adjoining hall, Sam made a recommendation and my husband walked out with that color paint. This is the same husband who would gladly spend months deliberating every decision, no matter how minute!!! So it is no exaggeration when I say that Sam may have single-handedly saved my marriage, or perhaps my husband's life because I was ready to either kill or divorce him. So as we decorate our entire home over, all I can say is thank God for Waters and Brown, and thank God for Sam!!!!

It's in a small space but every inch is covered in coolness. I called to see if they had a philodendron. They said they would text me when they had some in. I can't think of many local businesses who would call or text someone back when something was in stock. The owners are very knowledgeable. I have a tendency to kill plants and they gave me useful advice for the welfare of the plant. It was a bit large and the owner (Eric I believe?) carried it to my car. Seriously what a class act. Shop small and don't overlook this little gem of a shop!
