It's so cute, well stocked and priced, and has amazing gifts for everyone, from the foodie friend to the bearded boyfriend, to the dog mom or dad in your life. You'll be the talk of the holidays when you tick off your gift list at Cocoon! From the silly socks with literary quotes to the immense selection of unique cookbooks, and the gorgeous locally made jewelry, we spent a good half hour browsing around the small but well organized shop. The shopkeeper was pretty low key, which was actually a refreshing change from the folks in stores who follow you around or ask you how you're doing every five seconds. I'm trying to buy a present for my cat, Virginia! Leave me be! I hope to come back here for the slew of fall birthdays and special events in my squad for the inevitable present hunting trip. It's definitely the best place to shop for all my weird pals! :)

I don't normally write reviews, but being harassed by an employee prompts me to write this one…read more There is a short male employee with glasses who loudly started harassing my wife because of the shirt she was wearing. He apparently didn't hold the same views as the shirt's statement and demanded that she have a conversation about why she would wear that shirt. She kept saying no, and he wouldn't take the rejection. No one else who worked in the store seemed to care either. If you only want customers to enter your store who share your hateful and ignorant views, you should post a sign outside stating such. There is another antique shop within walking distance whose employees are friendly, helpful, will not harass you, and welcome everyone.

Just because you demand a conversation does not mean you are owed a conversation, regardless of the "rules" you made up, stated OUT LOUD, and tried to enforce. ("you cant wear that and not...") Becoming combative when denied said conversation does not, then, give you the right to LOUDLY make sweeping and untrue generalizations about anyone who does not want to engage you in conversation when all they came in the store for was to browse antiques. (Maybe YOU are the problem? Maybe your unearned entitlement is what makes people not want to engage with you?) When told those generalizations are untrue, you continued to be loudly combative and commented again on the shirt. Thank you for ruining my experience in your store. Yelp readers: if you present female and want to be left alone, better dress modestly and conservatively before entering. As I was told, LOUDLY, by this employee - I had no right to wear what I wore and not engage with him. (If you're asking what I wore, I'm asking you if and why that matters.)

Long story short:…read more Back in 2009, I had purchased a Good Cheer Company/Piece of The Puzzle Affirmation bracelet from a shop over on Abbot Kinney (Mystic Journey) and it was on me daily until around 2013 when it finally fell apart. $14 isn't too bad for something that lasted quite long, but the issue at hand was finding another one. I was fortunate enough to get the last one at the same shop that year, but fast forward to late March 2015, this one snapped and I was out of luck. I tried several local 'spiritual shops' and anywhere else I felt may carry such a line. I finally attempted to google almost any kind of name associated with the line, and Maglyn's extensive site was on the first page. I noticed a message board and was pleased to see how quickly they responded to customer's questions and requests. I noticed the message I had left myself a few months prior, but had forgotten to check back; as my bracelet was still in tact. The company had responded with an email address so I followed through to see if there was still any luck...I had struck gold. Realizing this was an actual brick and mortar shop in New York, the most helpful Rachelle and I kept in touch via email up to when she said the shipment had arrived. I called the following day and bought two of the three in their delivery. I sit here today less than a week later with two brand new puzzle bracelets, one going right on after I opened the carefully prepared package. When I make my way back east, I AM taking a road trip specifically up to New Paltz, NY to check out this gem of a shop and to thank Rachelle personally for helping me out with such a personal piece.

I particularly loved a puffy, iridescent lilac hand clutch that mentally told me, 'buy me'. Their incense+accessories section is one I didn't want to pass by. I like Nag Champa- but Verde's incense selection and the BOTANICA incense brand these folk carry, isn't one to ignore. The Rainier scent drew me in and bought a box. Great service. Decent prices.
