There's a wonderful selection of home goods (incense, bath items, skincare, kitchenware, etc), gorgeous pottery (I bought myself a beautiful mug that actually originated from a studio in the SF Bay Area, where I live - but the studio is not open to the public!), stationery and much more. I felt like there was a good range of prices and there was plenty that was affordable. The staff was very kind - the lady who rang up my items dropped the travel watercolor palette and immediately went to get me a new one "just in case". So nice! I definitely recommend this store and would be here all the time if I lived here!

Furniture is wonderfully refurbished in-house by people who are passionate about wood, because every piece shines. You will pay top dollar for the right to own just about anything from the store. Price as marked is as is - no negotiating. Best time to go if you want a deal is during a 'sidewalk sale'. Be ready to make a quick decision on items you're interested in though because people line up to buy your item if you decline it. No time to change your mind! Four stars instead of five due to high price points and lack of sales offered.

Beautiful, delicate interior design,…read morea sweet patio where you can relax with a coffee and a pastry, the whole vibe is calm and cozy, which I appreciated so much. Now, the real star: the gluten-free baked goods. We tried four different things, cookies included, and honestly? I was stunned. The flavor, the softness, the balance, nothing felt like a "gluten-free compromise." It tasted like the real deal, maybe even better. Not overly sweet, not dry, not crumbly, just genuinely delicious pastries that happen to be gluten-free. I don't know what magic they're working in that kitchen, but this is easily the best gluten-free bakery I've come across. A must-visit, no question.

Maaribu is modern, cool and…read moreeclectic coffee shop and store where you can have the most delicious cup of coffee along with a pastry or bite. Every piece in the store appears to be intentionally curated. Maaribu melds a home and gift shop with an in house café and bakery, creating an experience that's both relaxing and memorable. According to Mable, my server, Maaribu is a combination of the word Marfa (Texas town that has the Prada store) and Malibu. The brand is often described as combining Marfa's creative spirit, Malibu's laid back lifestyle, and clean Scandinavian design. The shop portion of Maaribu is beautifully styled, featuring furniture, décor, books, and gifts that have a modern flare. All the items are easy to peruse and get drawn in. The use of color is playful and engaging. Maaribu's key highlight is its café and bakery. The in house café has an assortment of coffee, wellness beverages, and dedicated gluten free baked goods. I bought a Rose honey latte, which was divine along with a multi-layer pastry. Mable said customers enjoy the quality and flavor of the pastries...scones, muffins, cookies, brownies, and egg bites are frequent favorites. Importantly, the café is reported to be fully gluten free, which makes it a standout destination for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities, without sacrificing taste or variety. The outdoor seating and patio area add to the charm, making Maaribu a great place to enjoy coffee and pastries on a nice Austin morning. After years in Austin, I finally discovered Maaribu--a modern, eclectic coffee shop and store. Every item is thoughtfully curated, blending a home-and-gift shop with a café and bakery for a relaxing experience. The name combines Marfa's creative vibe, Malibu's laid-back style, and Scandinavian design. The shop offers stylish furniture, décor, books, and gifts, all easy to browse and visually engaging. Maaribu's café is fully gluten-free, featuring quality pastries like scones, muffins, cookies, brownies, and egg bites, as well as wellness drinks and coffee. Outdoor seating makes it a perfect spot to enjoy coffee and pastries on a pleasant Austin morning. Wow...Maaribu!!!

If someone you know or a loved one has passed away, the owner will come to your place and evaluate the estate, preferably within the Austin area.

We found some amazing ceramic ware for a friend's housewarming, and I ended up purchasing one of their gorgeous raw silk shirts for myself. The independent brands are among the list of coveted in this shop. Bri, the owner and founder of the Good Hippie line of body products, is often there hanging out with an approachable smile and a warm passion for the artists she supports in her shop. No pretension here, and everything is well-priced. To boot, she shares the space with long-time treasure of the Austin jewelry scene, Christine Fail, who showcases her line of minimal jewelry in addition to other artist-produced goods.

Their art-hanging and furniture placement is second-to-none. Julie and Sally rearranged things to make a wonderful party "flow," and the artwork is finally hanging with the right scale and groupings. We especially loved the little pile they left of "items that would be happier living elsewhere." Ha! These ladies are a hoot and have a truly rare talent. Hooray for ACH!!

In addition, clothing and shoe items are spaced apart where you can easily view them and ferret through the racks. The value of items are reasonably priced and some items as low as $5. I did not find anything I could not live without, however, I will definitely pop in from time to time. Also, there is a fair amount of free parking. The store manager was super helpful and personable.
