Very neat selection of kitchen goods, from utensils and wares to ingredients and uncommon snack items. So chuffed to have seen Curio Spice, my favorite spice company, on their shelves as I don't know of many shops that carry them in-store. Bummed that we aren't locals, but will be sure to make a stop any time we are in town to see what they have in stock.

The place is huge and is unique in that part of its store is out door, offering a hybrid shopping experience. The shops are separated by sections.
