Small store front with extremely obscure things on display/for sale. Everything from skeletons to animal heads (taxidermy) to jewelry to books on science ..... a collection of art ... you name it, if it's kind of strange (or in this case odd) then it's got a home here. I don't really know how to approach pricing to say if it's good or bad ... I guess if you feel good about the price you're paying, then it must be pretty good. If you are wandering around...looking to kill some time .... may be worth a quick stop, you'll either like it or not, I don't think this is a place where there is an in between.

This is for Snug Mug Coffee Co and them only because they don't have a Yelp page as of yet (you can…read morelook them up on social media). This coffee trailer has the sweetest workers that came from Nashville and have ranted and raved about their experience and transition to Bham. I was obsessed with apple butter as a child and saw they had a signature drink with it as an ingredient. This was a no brainer for me to order and I'm glad I did. "The Eve" - toasted apple butter latter with caramel drizzle. I got mine iced. My Mom said she didn't want anything, tasted mine after we walked away and had us turn around so she could order something for herself. She ended up ordering "The Joshua" - shortbread latte with milk and honey and cookie crumbles. Hers was too sweet for me. She loved it though.

The best shopping area in the metro area! From upscale boutiques, to fine eateries, there's a place…read morefor everyone here that has the patience to fight through the Hwy 280 traffic to get here. The area is very clean and during busier seasons like Christmas, the area offers police to manage traffic. I do most of my shopping online now but I love to come to The Summit as a special treat to myself because it feels like just that when I visit one of their stores or restaurants. My favorite stores here include Belk and Sephora.

Mr. Reed is a fantastic resource for books and movies, he recommended a movie from an author I was looking for, I watched the whole movie straight through, the next time I was in he had a couple novels by that author. Highly recommended...

This book store is jammed packed with books, collectibles, nostalgia, and love tucked away in ever corner! There were books I read as a child that brought back many great memories when I saw them. The owner is such a lovely guy and very helpful! I could have spent a whole day and too much money lol because when it comes to books I have no self control. I was able to escape with spending only a little over $100 on some great books. Will definitely return!

Returns are always easy, and the cashiers are efficient and pleasant. I do shop this location periodically. It's about a 50/50 chance on whether the stock is orderly and organized. The worst area is usually the cosmetics and accessories (to the far right in the store). If you like to dig through the additional markdowns, it's not unusual to find items broken, sampled, etc. Same for the additional mark clothing; every once in a while those racks look more like thrift racks than clearance, but once you find that diamond in the rough it can be worth it. I do wish this location got more of the special occasion pieces, but either I always miss them or they go to different Rack locations. If you've got the time, it's a great place to find great prices on everything from budget-friendly brands to designer brands.

While I frequent this Nordstrom Rack when visiting my hometown city, I know that have need to have…read morea tank full of patience! Nordstrom Rack has discounted designer and popular high end brands that haven't sold in their Nordstrom stores. It's not uncommon to have difficulty finding assistance, finding sizes in the wrong place - specifically shoes, messy racks, clothes left in changing rooms, and a long checkout line moving at a snails pace. When shopping here I expect at least a 50% discount, but it's not uncommon to only find 25%-30% on discounted items. Even with these negatives, I've found great shoes and some clothing. I will return because I love the thrill of a good hunt!

This place is amazing. I had no idea there was such a market for athletic shoes. The inventory which changes daily was over the top. However, one of the reasons I went was to see the famous safe. Yes you heard me right. A Safe for the high end shoes. Since the athletic shoes my daughter was looking at were over $200.00, I wanted to know, what about the shoes in the safe. The let me in and well, they were very expensive. I guess my PF Flyers and Keds as a kid are not longer a things. Anyway, the staff was engaging, fair and helpful. I like this place and hope they have great success.
