Just like the rest of the reviews here with 1 star, I couldn't agree more that she is EXTREMELY rude and unprofessional. The prices are good but it's not even worth it to give business here when my family and I come here and are treated with such disrespect. I will never give money to this business again. Find someone new to manage/own this shop.

They made me pay 27 cents for it which was annoying to me but I did it. I put the bandaid on and then asked if I could get another one because my knee was bleeding a lot and the guy started yelling at me. He said he was waiting on me and that they were closed and to walk to Walgreens or something. I said "You want me to walk to Walgreens with a bloody leg?" and he said fine give her another one and I took it outside to put it on.

It's fairly organized, & when I was there, an employee was tidying up & dusting (though he didn't acknowledge any customers). The aisles are narrow & it can easily get cramped with all the customers browsing. The store extends far to the back. Note: Apparel & toys for kids is towards the back on the left side. The customer service at checkout is a typical, straightforward transaction.

And showed me how she shuffles decks, had me use her cards to try myself - very informative. If she offered some classes of some kind or just events at the shop- I feel like that would be beneficial and of interest. That said, I can't personally shop somewhere that doesn't allow returns once something's opened. The policy makes sense, it's just not a good fit for me. There are quite a lot of items as far as selection for what from the outside looks like a very small shop. Most items are available for much less online, and in my opinion, the value here simply doesn't match the prices. This is really only a place to shop if supporting a local business matters more to you than what you're getting for the money.

This is such an amazing place! Maya and her family are thoughtful and honest people. She has beautiful treasures in this shop. She literally picks out every piece of art and works with healers, crafters, artists, from all over. She seeks to empower individuals and their communities through her work. For example, she mindfully partner with disadvanatged high potential artist and look for opportunities to spread love and promote economic empowerment. I have the honor and the pleasure to say I have known this beautiful soul for the last 6 years since our years at Mills College. Support your local small business. read more

This locally owned Nepalese import shop is truly a special place indeed! A bit off the beaten path, but tourists (and locals) PLEASE find your way there to partake of the unique personally curated items that abound. So many wonderful handcrafted gifts are just waiting for you to come and experience them, to select the ones that speak to you, and to take them home for yourself or as a special gift for another. I will personally return again and again and again...!!! read more
