In the craziness of 2020, Saline has a shining star. Living in Colorado and trying to bring some…read morehappiness and joy to a family member, the staff at Cobblestone Rose went way out of their way to help me make it happen. Through text messages and phone calls, they shared what they had in stock and put items together to create a beautiful gift. As one who tries to support local businesses, I would encourage anyone living in the Saline area to consider Cobblestone Rose for home items or gift giving. From my experience they will do their best to help you find what you are looking for. Thank you again to the staff at Cobblestone Rose.

This is actually two shops in two adjoining suites, but owned by the same folks. In Suite 101 is…read morethe flower shop, and Suite 111 houses the home decor. They call the home decor part "Cobblestone Rose... Four Doors Down." They're both nice shops, locally owned, so you can feel good about keeping your money in the community. The Four Doors Down is not really to my taste- it's very Victorian Country house sort of stuff. But if that's your bag, you'd love it. Everything is really artfully arranged, from the bedding to the beautiful decorative dishes. It's moderate-to-high end stuff, but they did have some nice sales running on several items when I was there. For instance, all pink bedding was 25 percent off. It's part of a cluster of cute little shops in downtown Saline. They make it very easy to shop here, as there are several small city owned lots and many street parking spots which are all free, though the ones on Michigan Ave. have a 2-hour limit.

There was jewelry crafted from antique jewels, jewelry made from auto parts that was surprisingly beautiful and helps abuse survivors. Got a sweet tooth check the cooler for large ice cream sandwiches. There are two levels and something for everyone. The Brix soda is from Grand Rapids and the pomegranate Lemonade was very good. This was a popular spot when live music was playing tonight.

I love this store's layout as well. There's a mezzanine floor that perimeters the edge of the building & from the railing you can look down on the main ground floor. So many hidden gems in McPherson Local just waiting to be discovered by you! :)

I stopped by here when in A2 this past week, I was visiting the Bakehouse for a work article. We…read morehave recently written about the Candy Manufactory for work too so I was curious to actually see it! I've never actually had any of Zingerman's candy bars so I bought two full size bars, plus a small version of the Cashew Cow. I think both the Zzang and Peanut Butter Crush were equally good. The store also has non-Zingerman's brand candies, such as Venchi, which is also a high-end brand. The shop doubles as a coffee shop, as well, and I think may have also had some small food items, but don't quote me on that. Overall, I would return the next time I'm in town.

The candy is delicious- though it's pretty fed as a premium product so be prepared! The cafe inside is great and there's a Bakery store down the way so you can enjoy sandwiches, pastries and delicious brownies!

First time coming here. I wanted to check this store out because it caught my attention. This place…read moreis great, very reminiscent to going to a Hot Rags or Earthbound store. It has a bunch of hippie stuff, incense, even beetles in container. I'm assuming it's real! I definitely love the variety of what this store offers but it's more on the pricey side. Store is very clean, well organized and it'll take you a nice 30 minutes to fully explore the store honestly. Wouldn't mind coming back.

I have had them in France and Mexico, and they are so good with butter and jam dunked in some hot coffee. You would think they would be easy to find, but it took me several stores to finally get them. I wish this place had Weetabix, but they no longer carry it, and due to the viral trend, they are sold out all over. I loved the variety of interesting foods. I would come back for some of the candy and other food items. They also have some interesting home good items for sale, like a yakatori grill, couches, etc... The people working here were extremely friendly and chipper. The only issue I have is that their prices are higher than most places that sell the same products, so I would not come here for items like Buldak noodles unless you really cannot find them elsewhere. I would like to come back with the kids.

All I can say is after witnessing the customer service given to my wife, we will never go back to this store again and will urge others not to either. My wife speaks with an accents and she can ask her fair share of questions. But that does not mean an employee AND a manager can treat her with the disrespect that they did this past weekend. When my wife asked about item engravings or about our Things Remembered reward account their response were either very short or with an annoyed attitude towards her. I now have remembered back 3 years ago the same employee and manager worked there when we purchased quite a bit of items for our wedding. And their attitude was the same toward my wife back then. This will always be unacceptable. This past weekend when we tried to purchase 3 items and have them engraved, their attitude and responses to my wife's question made her so upset and distraught that I went back in, instead of waiting the 45 mins for the engraving, I cancelled our order and then decided to drive an hour to another mall to purchase the items where we were met with respectable sales associates. A night and day different from the one in Briarwood Mall!! Needless to say, we will never go back to the Briarwood Mall, Things Remembered in Ann Arbor, Mi ever again!!!
