They used to be near the French-Themed Café and personally I liked that location better, but there was probably a reason for their move. Overall, the store still had some nice items for gifting and decor. The prices were reasonable, given the area and uniqueness of the items. The employee was nice and somewhat helpful. My one 1/2 Star deduction was due to the slight disorganization of the store. Nevertheless, I do think I will be back and would recommend this place to others.

Beautiful layout with themed decor for every occasion you may be pondering. This location is behind the Garden's Mall in Palm Beach Gardens. There is street parking as well as a covered garage. There is a clearance table in the rear of the room... I bought from the main items in the store and scored some napkins and plates for our impromptu soiree. Some items are pretty pricey but you are in an area that 'in theory' can afford the cost. I found the customer service to be fine... but I am also engaging when I walk into a store where people might treat me suspiciously. Which I will point out didn't happen here. Respectfully Reviewed.

There are now 10 Swoozie's locations including this one in Palm Beach Gardens. The store is well organized and has a lot of great gifts items, wrapping, greeting cards and stationary. Everything is invitingly displayed. I love their sweet Halloween decorations and they had an extensive selection of my favorite Scout bags. They had a Florida themed Scout bag that I had never seen before and fell in love with and honestly may have to go back for. They also carry games, children's items, home decor, and kitchen items. The inventory is brand name and can be very pricey. I was interested in a pillow featuring my daughter's college UCF and it was over $200! A decorative dish towel was a more affordable $15.They had many items I have not seen elsewhere and it was fun to explore this store with my girlfriends.

I would have loved to say that this place was wonderful but as for my experience it was everything…read moreBUT wonderful. I walked in today with a family member as we were given a list of items to purchase by my interior designer from This store . We walked in and there were two frames I absolutely loved, they were beach drift wood and framed, I said out loud " oh ! This would go perfect above my bedroom set that I purchased a week ago from RH. My family member said" oh ! I have a friend that makes something similar but for tables! She showed me a few pictures on her phone and jokingly said " I wonder if she could make something similar, she lifts her phone up, to take a pic, and I responded "no I actually LOVE these pieces ! I wonder if I could get two of the same piece to have four to fill my wall up! ". She said " oh ! Haha ok , ok , and I moved on looking for the pieces I originally came in for, (NO photo was taken ). At that very moment mind you we were NEVER welcomed in, No other customers in the store. Just the older gentleman working at this store . This gentleman fiercely rushes over and says with a short manner "no photos can be taken in the store" I responded with my soft voice " oh she didn't" with a smile , She was about to but she didn't. He responded " I find that hard to believe when her phone aimed at the light fixture and snap a shot and bought her hand down, as he was explaining with such a mean gesture and horrible attitude . He then continued to steer angrily at me directly as if I was lying and when I turned back he proceeded to share that my other person took a photo of some light fixture at the entrance.. funny thing was We never even looked at a light fixture, I said SIR! She did not, and it just became ridiculous. He proceeded to argue with me, never in my 39 years have I ever had anyone argue with me over something that could have gone smoother by saying ," ! HI ! Welcome in, just a kind reminder no photography of our store.. " I held my hands up palms out and said " Sir, clearly we are not welcomed here, we are leaving but she did not take any photos, quiet frankly this is gotten a bit absurd. He responded, "well yea ok I'll rewatch the footage of the cameras to verify If it's true.. ( I mean , how old are we ?? ) I laughed a bit because it was preposterous. My designer was there a few days ago working on a Large project for us on multiple Rooms and spoke to Shawn or maybe a Steven or both not sure on a name she gave me a large list of items to look at but we got opposite treatment. Not only were we practically forced out of this store on false accusation but I really felt discriminated, as if I couldn't afford anything in this store ( We can) . I know if I were Caucasian I am sure our treatment would have been different, clearly we were not welcomed. It felt like a pretty woman moment. We were NOT greeted, not given any kind reminder and just mistreated and harassed. No signage anywhere in the store( because I looked as we exited ) , looking for " no photography " . On top of that my designer was in a few days snapped a few photos to my husband and . The funniest part of all said and dine there is that YELP reviewer posted PHOTOS within the store on here!!, my family member didn't get that far of actually taking the photo ). I do not like confrontations it was hard for me to write this cause I'm a super nice person, but this needed to acknowledge, this isn't ok!!

This one had a bit of a limited selection compared to the Hallmark stores that I've used to. They have downsized a lot since the time of pre-Covid.

The part that I'm disappointed in is the lack of miniature Glass Animals. They did away with those, which was sad.

My students who come from Italy usually say there's not an acceptable Italian restaurant in the West Palm Beach area - ouch. Probably too harsh but my experience not only in WPB but in other areas of the USA is that most people don't know acceptable Italian food. Coming up: Carmine's Italian Wedding Soup. Interested?

I didn't know what to expect but I was really impressed from the service to the quality of the tea and food. The cafe is in a little strip mall off A1A. Parking is okay considering there are other businesses next door. I loved seeing the cardboard cut out of Queen Elizabeth in the window. As someone that loves the Royal family and all things London, this place was a dream. They had lots of pictures of Princess Diana, Princess Kate, etc. It really makes you feel royal yourself! My advice: MAKE A RESERVATION if you plan on coming. They recommend it as well. It can get busy however when I went there was only one or two others who came which was nice we got to experience the cafe without it being crowded. I had the kindest, most accommodating server! I wish I remembered her name. It was such a treat having her wait on us today. So polite called me 'ma'am' and was so respectful and helpful. I ordered the club sandwich, champagne, and the lemon nectarine cake. So delicious! When I ordered my food I made her aware of my nut allergy as some things have nuts. She was super kind and when she brought my food out she even mentioned that it had no nuts. I really appreciate that! I ordered the 'Magic Butterfly' tea. (Decaf) I'm not kidding when I say this is THE BEST TEA I have ever had in my life. It was a mix of apple, pea flower, lavender, and a few other things. They have two options when ordering tea. A full pot at $7 or a half of pot at $5. We went with the half of pot which is for two people. It was enough for us both. If you come with any more than two people than get the full pot for only two dollars more. I thought the prices were good. They also have high tea options such as The Diana, The Kate, The Elizabeth, and The Charlotte (which is for kids 10 and under) these are priced per person at a bit of a higher cost but you get multiple things included in each one. I will list the menus down below. We were checked in on a lot and made sure we were content. The service was phenomenal I can't stress that enough! They also have little gifts to purchase around the store. I had the best time today. It was such a treat! Next time I come to Florida I'll definitely be visiting again. Thank you ladies!
