They have not been open long, but every time I have visited there have been other shoppers in the store. The lady who works there is extremely friendly and is remarkably laid-back about people bringing kids into the store (my advice: don't do it). I had a great time browsing their selection of scented soaps, candles, artwork, etc. and am trying to resist the temptation to go back and buy a really gorgeous decorative bowl for my bookshelf (at least until I recover from Christmas shopping).. but I'll probably cave when I have to drive by this place twice a day once school's back in session. The only complaint I would have is the hours- closing at 4 is really a bummer for people like me, who prefer to shop in the evening rather than the daytime!

All locally made dishes are ready to take home and bake. I've tried the pot roast casserole, taco bake, sausage dip & ham rolls. All were tasty & make great gifts for your neighbors.

We stumbled across this shop when we got lost in the Five Points neighborhood and what a find! It…read moreis a former convenience store (hence the name) turned shop filled with lots of unique vintage and contemporary jewelry, clothing, home décor, all with a Southern preppy feel. And, because it was a convenience store, there is a bank of coolers with six packs of local beer, Locopops and ready-to-go-meals- craziness! The store is organized by vignette and theme, making browsing fun. I found the prices to be really good, especially on the jewelry, which is displayed on tables and probably 25% of the inventory. The staff is super friendly and based on their Facebook page; they seem to have lots of fun events.

A fair amount is handmade pieces, so if you like one-of-a-kind options, this is your place. Staff was super friendly, greeting us as we entered and offering any assistance should we need it. They have signage throughout with prices and info on the makers and / or the pieces. I loved the jewelry and art in particular. Overall: A+ A must stop in the mall for one-of-a-kind pieces from unique makers.

This is the type of place you might expect to find in a small tourist beach walk area! What you can find here varies all the time, as there are a variety of items from local artisans. This is a great place to find small gifts or even gifts representing Raleigh! I bought a beautiful canvas tote, celebrating the city of oaks, a great bag to take to the farmers market or street fairs! I also bought a variety of inspirational stickers for my journal! This store is located on the upper floor of the mall at the end near Belk's. The great thing about this store is it has an outside entrance and an inside entrance so it is easy to pop in and out of!

I initially wandered in because the "Support Local Artists" sign caught my eye. I am an art lover so this store was 100 percent calling my name. The visual art caught my eye first (art lovers, you'll appreciate the vibe immediately), but I quickly realized this place has so much more. It's a small store but the carefully curated selection of handmade items makes a huge impact. The handmade jewelry selection is awesome. The statement pieces you will find here are super unique. Some of the rings were made from recycled vintage earrings. Definitely not the kind of stuff you see everywhere. They also had stickers galore for me and all the planner lovers, which made me happy. T-shirts, tote bags, bag charms, and on and on. And bonus: there's a great juice and smoothie bar right next door, which makes the whole stop even better. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, which always makes a shopping experience feel special. This store is 100% my vibe, and I already know I'll be back... probably to buy one of the art prints I can't stop thinking about.

What a unique boutique store at Crabtree!…read more While waiting to be seated at The Cheesecake Factory, we browsed this store. I liked it immediately. I found a pair of earrings that I knew would match a particular dress I like wearing. I held them in my hand, still looking around for other things to buy. The person at the register reminded me that the store closed in 15 min. It was 8:45 in the evening, and soon after, our table was ready. I bought those earrings. My one negative feeling was the pricing. Even the things I wanted were financially out of reach for me. We were about to spend over one hundred dollars at the restaurant, and these earrings were affordable. Other items weren't. Will I go again? I think I will. Lots of cool companies selling their homemade goods there. I understand marketing and price points. Everyone deserves a profit. If I come into some money, I'll try and spend it there.

I enjoyed walking through the shop, but found it a bit pricy even compared to other boutiques. The clothes do seem to be good quality and Ritas offers a good variety.

Three of us gals of varying ages all bought items on sale. It might appear to be a small store from the outside. (It's in Brennan Station on Creedmoor Road. In between the awesome pedicure place and the cool bottle shop.), but it's full of what you can tell are carefully selected things that Gals want. It's obvious Rita knows what she's doing. We were told items change frequently, so definitely a place for frequent stop-ins!
