The shop keep explained how the shop worked with so many different artists. Walking around the space the selection of goods was so amazing. You had cards / candles/ art and so much more.

I've been coming for a few years now and can't rave enough about their candle scents and store layout. The aromas that touch your nose will tingle your senses and have you ready to find that signature scent for whichever room you're looking to scent. From linen sprays to candles and oils, Slow North has you covered. Don't let the pricing be a deterrant as they are definitely well worth the investment. The burning time on their candles is really good and more of a slow burn. Take an opportunity to do a candle making class or participate in their other workshops!

Something I've been paying attention to especially when shopping at a local business is customer…read moreservice and friendliness. I'm not sure if the gentleman who checked me out was the owner or a regular employee. Regardless, he did not have a friendly disposition when checking me out. (I am a woman of color for reference) he didn't even greet me which is a simple courtesy. I had to ask him "hey, how are you today" to which he didn't respond and just told me the balance I owed. My fellow friend (white male) checked out right after me and he greeted him! He also asked him how he wanted his items wrapped. (We both had the same items) If the store itself wasn't so nice and full of good merchandise/gifts I would've given it an even lower rating. To management: please know and remind your employees that even a simple hello goes a long way Edit: This seems to be a trend going years back (looking at reviews) with this business and their discriminatory practices. There are better local shops with less AI slop to patronize

While visiting Austin, TX I stopped by Lilla & Beth. Found a black dress I really liked and the tag…read moresaid it was $62.95. I loved the dress on so I decided to purchase it with a sweater. I went back to hotel and realized they charged me $98 and some change for the dress. It was after 6pm when I noticed it (I should have looked before I left and I own that). The next day I went back to get it corrected. They did not honor the price on the tag. This was very misleading and I was lucky I was still in the city to get a full refund. I loved the dress and hate they decided to not honor the price they printed on the tag. BAD BUSINESS! Watch out for when you shop at Lilla & Beth to make sure you are not overpaying or being mislead!

In my search to find unique coffee shops, I checked out Maaribu. I don't know how I've driven by…read morethis place so many times and never noticed it before! They have a small parking lot on the side, along with a few spots specifically for takeout. As the name suggests, it's also a gift store, which makes the place even more unique. The inside is very clean and modern. I ended up getting a vanilla latte, which was a little bitter for my taste, but it was still a good coffee. My favorite thing about this place was definitely the outdoor space in the back. It's very relaxing and beautiful. The uniqueness of the interior, combined with the amazing outdoor space, makes Maaribu a place worth visiting!

I just went in this time to get some hand soap, but I will be coming back here for all of our items. I'm hopeful that more people see how great of an option this place is. They also have a lot of fun/unique snacks and beverages. I purchased the hand soap, but also got a thing of dill pickle pistachios...OMG, so good. The clerk was such a lovely human and quite helpful. I will absolutely be back and will be telling all my friends about this place. Great way to shop local! Take your vessels up there and they will tare out the weight on all of them. So cool! Oh, they also have Ridwell, so you can take your batteries, plastic film (grocery bags/zip lock type bags) light bulbs, etc. This place is clearly owned and operated by someone wanting to make a positive impact on their community and world.

Over the last several months I've been decorating a shipping container and Paper Work was the first place I thought of for art.

The staff is amazing, the owner is incredible and I always find something for me or for a gift. If you live in Austin, you should come here more often. If you are visiting, this is the place to shop and buy gifts for everybody who couldn't come to Austin with you.

I bought a seal proof container less than two weeks ago and brought it in for either a refund or exchange or even store credit and they completely do not flex on their policy...even if they sell you equipment that doesn't and never worked. There need to be times when you flex with the customer, especially when you sold the poor quality product and represented it as seal proof.
