Fabulous, fabulous shop with great owners. I feel I could have spent hours examining all the…read moredifferent spices and oils and such. As it was, the woman behind the counter offered to let us taste any of the vinegars before buying them. And thank goodness we did. I picked the cranberry pear balsamic vinegar and it was incredible! I honestly could have drunk a whole cup full of it, it was that good. I had it on my salad for three dinners straight starting that night! When my little bottle runs out, I may have to mail order more, since I live very far away. I also took advantage of the bulk option for spices and other delights, buying a small baggie of butterfly pea flowers, which you don't find just anywhere. I really wanted to go back the next day to try more vinegars, but I knew I couldn't fit any more in my luggage, so I'm just living off the memories of my one visit! If you dig spices, you MUST go here, if you dig balsamic vinegar, it's a CRIME if you don't go here! Post-haste!

She is vulnerable herself, and to help so many people who are making and donating homemade masks, shows bravery and character. She is one of many putting her health and safety on the line to help others. Not only was she EXTREMELY helpful with choosing a good machine for someone starting sewing again after not sewing for 10 years, but she offers help anytime you want to come in and ask questions. No need to haul your machine in, she has them ALL. She will take time to sit and work with me the kinks that are bound to pop up during my "re-learning" process. I've recently just moved to Fremont and I'm very happy to have a strong leader in a much needed "new necessity" of making masks. Thank you for all you do!

So, I stroll into the store at 10am on a Tuesday, bright-eyed and optimistic--it's knife-sharpening…read moreday! They'd just opened, and apparently, so had the portal to absurdity. I tell the guy I want the knives sharpened and ready for pickup that afternoon. Simple enough, right? Wrong. He informs me they ship the knives off to New York, and it takes 2-3 weeks. Weeks. Because clearly, these knives must undergo a spiritual journey before they're deemed worthy of being sharp again. I explain they aren't *that* dull and ask if they can just sharpen them in-house. He says they can--oh, but not the serrated knives, can opener, or scissors. Sure, no problem. I'll take those magical items home and entrust him with just the straight edges. Then he drops another gem: they can "touch up" the knives. Fine by me, as long as I get them back in the afternoon. But wait! Plot twist--he suddenly claims it'll take 2-3 *days* because they "have an event." An event? Are the knives the keynote speakers? Because the store was as empty as my patience at that point. I looked around, saw no sign of this mysterious "event," and finally hit my limit. I stormed out, muttering about how I'd apparently wandered into the Theater of the Absurd. Honestly, what a circus.
