Shinola Cafe: I…read moreheard it was the best matcha in town, so l had to go try it. I'd been to the cafe before just to experience the vibes, and they are great. Dim lighting, modern upscale design, and a record player playing chill tunes. I ordered the Plain Jane matcha which was $10.50. A little pricey, but I was willing to try it out. It was definitely the best matcha I've ever had, and it makes sense that it would be more expensive compared to other places' matcha which tastes watered down in comparison. I will definitely be coming back. Just for the atmosphere. And I'd also like to try their other drinks including the pour-over as l am such a big coffee fan.

I love how Shinola has a cafe downstairs on Main Street. I heard about it so I had to check it out…read more The vibe is very classy and quiet. I enjoyed the different drinks and there are lots of space to either study or read. The service was nice and they hand deliver the drinks to you. I personally never bought anything from the store but the coffee is pretty good.

Sadly, numerous shoe repair places run by skilled cobblers have closed over the past two decades throughout southeastern Lower Michigan. However, Rapid Shoe Fix on Pearl Street has staying power, and are committed to providing excellent customer service for many years to come. This fine business also repairs most leather goods, including attache cases, backpacks, boots, luggage, purses, satchels, shoes and other items. I recently had to attend a funeral, so my Rockport Wingtips needed a shine, and guy at the counter said it would take 10-15 minutes to complete. When he was finished, the shoes had a shine on surface that looked like two mirrors, and I could see my reflection on them. While I was at the store, I decided to buy a new leather belt. Sadly, when I was leaving the funeral home, the screws that were holding the buckle onto the belt gave way. Thankfully, I was able to keep my pants up until I arrived at home, and could change my clothes without embarrassment. That said, I took the belt back to Rapid Shoe Fix, and the man who sold it repaired the belt in a few minutes, and gave me a choice of just taking a new belt in return, with no questions asked. I plan on buying all of my shoe polish from this place in the future, as they have high-end polish from France, and other parts of the world.

I told the man I was not happy with the job, and he offered to re-do it, but given how terrible the job was originally, I didn't feel comfortable giving it back to them. He also tried to convince me that the "good strap" was also slanted. It wasn't (see photos). I then said I was "sad" about the job they did. The guy proceeded to tell me that there are "worst things to be sad about" and then said how his "wife has cancer"... First of all, this dude does not know my life, or what I'm going through. I just wanted my purse fixed and it was the absolute worst job done, along with having awful attitude towards me. Why in the world would he say that to me? Absolutely terrible customer service. Worst experience I've ever had at a place like this. Terrible person. Treated me like dirt.

Also, everyone I interacted with at the store was professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and friendly. The leathersmith in particular.
