I went to the pottery place with my kids and my two good friends and their kids. It was a Sunday,…read morethere were 10 of us, and the pottery place was very busy. They don't accept reservations, but their website claims they can seat 70, so we figured they could handle us. We even stated that we would prefer to be broken up into two tables, as this seemed more manageable for everyone. The manager said OK , and that we would be put on the waitlist. We waited patiently, browsing the selection and chatting amongst ourselves, trying to stay out of the way. When it was our turn to be seated, we were ushered to an eight person table. I addressed my concerns that there wouldn't be enough room for all 10 of us, and reiterated we were told we'd have two tables. They refused to honor that agreement. The extra seats that were pulled up for us did not fit the height of the table and I wasn't able to fit my legs underneath. I decided since I did not have proper accommodations, I would not purchase a piece to paint. I was really looking forward to painting something to give as a birthday present, and had planned on spending a good amount of money!! (I paid over $60 for my children to paint a mug and a 3 inch gnome.) We noticed that two tables remained available on either side of us for a while. We politely asked if we could use one of them and we were told no they were reserved. Nobody ever sat at one of them, and at no point for the remainder of our time there were there any less than two available tables in the room, just sitting there empty. I was upset by this experience. I was not friendly when settling up and paying at the end because I believed I was being treated poorly. I don't have to make eye contact and smile, and certainly couldn't find it in me to do so. I wrote a Yelp and a Google review when I got home. The following day I received a phone call from that same manager. She got my phone number off of my pick up information that I provided at the shop and called me at home, unsolicited. She gaslit me, made false accusations, and was defensive and argumentative. I certainly didn't write a review as an invitation for her to call and harass me. I wrote a review to alert other potential customers about a problem that was unresolved by the management of this business. They had the ability to accommodate us and went out of their way not to. We expressed that we were not satisfied, and they refused to make any effort. When I expressed my experience in my reviews, they contacted me to argue about it. Though I wish I had never been to the pottery place, I know there are plenty of other places I enjoy going, where I am treated well.

Ally walked us through the pottery and painting techniques and it was just a few minutes waiting on a table. The place was buzzing and there were so many talented people there... you could seriously be mesmerized just watching them paint! Back to pottery... choices for every person and every budget. Paint colors and brushes galore. It was intense watching our table full of family with a birthday celebration creating their unique pottery. I can't wait to see the finished result in a week! Thanks much and we'll definitely be back! A++++

My first impression of this store was, "What is with this place?" I walked past the ennui filled…read morefront of the store and went to buy some boots. I picked out a couple of pairs and sat down to wait my turn. The salesperson was helping one person, who was taking his time, speaking with his partner, and testing his shoes. I sat on the bench and watched while she stood around and watched TV glancing my way one-in-a-while. When she did see me (at least I thought she saw me, the ennui was pretty thick) I held up the shoes in the universal signal of 'I'd like to try these on'. Apparently I needed a different universal signal? Even a "I'll try to get someone to help you" would have been nice. Finally I flagged down another salesperson and asked if he could help. He immediately looked at the shoes I had chosen, asked my size and went off to find them. Meanwhile the original salesperson finally looked over and asked "Oh, do you need help?" I admit, I laughed. Mind you, we were only ten feet away and she had to have seen the other person. Now for the good and why I'm giving the store 4 stars. The person who helped me was outstanding and the four stars are really for him. He knew the brands, how they might fit my feet and how to size them. When I realized I needed a size down from one pair, he not only brought that shoe but the new size in the others, just-in-case. This was a huge help as I did need a size down in the others. He was engaging and conversational, AND, managed to help other customers while helping me. His service was outstanding and in the end I felt like I bought just the right boots.

It is always a pleasure to visit Local Only Gifts & Goods! They keep this delightful shop of…read morelocally made goods and edibles fully stocked with new items available throughout the year. This visit, I discovered that they carried Divine Purity Incense and ventured to try Cocoa Amber. The Divine Purity brand lip balm has always been a favorite of mine so I knew the scent of the incense would most likely be top quality as well. The scent of the incense was perfect from start to finish. I liked the incense so much that I went back and bought several more scents to try. Can't wait to visit again and see what new items have arrived. Service: The staff are always upbeat and pleasant. They are knowledgeable about every item stocked in the shop and always glad to answer any questions you may have. Value: Prices a relative to most shops selling locally made goods. Though value is similar to other shops...I'm not sure you can beat the experience or people. Tip: To smell the scent of the incense so you find the perfect scents for you, simply tip the closed container upside down and sniff the bottom of the container where excess oils have gathered.

The great thing, if you walked in with a rude attitude, you would be told to leave and never come back. I witnessed that on 2 occasions myself. They were the nicest people you would ever meet but if you came off rude or arrogant, they simply handed you your problem back and told you to go elsewhere because they don't waste their time on those who do not appreciate it. If someone couldn't afford eye care, especially for children, they had no problems providing top notch care for absolutely nothing in return and to witness those 2 times for someone to come off smart bothered me, well until I seen a 180 degree turn and the arrogance was given right back with walking papers. You could do that when you own the place I guess. Anwyas, there will never be another like it....unfortunately.
