Handmade mugs, cards, t-shirts, ornaments, mugs, natural, wooden toys, and other knick-knacks. I will certainly stop in on future visits to Denton and keep it in mind as a place to shop for local gifts. Prices were a bit spendy which is expected for locally, handmade products rather than factory-made. Between Eastside and Bearded Monk-across the street from the post office and only a couple of blocks from Denton's lovely downtown square--a highly recommended shopping or browsing spot in Denton.

The person working at the store was friendly and welcoming when I came in. When I told her I was just checking stores out she told me to make myself at home and let her know is I have any questions. As I looked around I noticed several artistically made items. From a set of glasses made from Topo-Chico bottles to handmade Chap Stick, this place had a nice variety of items to choose from. I also noticed while I was there that this place offers arts and crafts classes right in the middle of the store. They also keep some items out on the table to entertain children while their parents shop. It was nice and refreshing to find a store like this, and I plan to visit them on future visits!

Bookstores are my favorite stores - and Patchouli Joe's in Denton is another fabulous bookstore!…read moreAnytime you have a bookstore in an old historic building you already get my attention. And you create a space that honors the building and updating it with warm wood and fixtures, you're doing it right in my opinion. I loved the selections offered here and so did my daughters and granddaughter. Yes, I bought books here and my granddaughter was thrilled. There's a dedicated children's area with nice seating for them. There was a touch of magic there. Kids were happy and couldn't wait to get to the next book. That is what a book store is supposed to be about. I met the owners and both are genuinely nice and they care about their customers and their business. Both are very knowledgeable and more than happy to help in any way. If you're in Denton, you need to drop in and browse around - I bet you walk out with a great book!

Patchouli Joe's Books was an okay bookstore for me…read more After reading some of their amazing reviews, and exploring some of the other bookstores around Denton I had high expectations for this store. However, I don't know if we caught them on a bad day, if their inventory was really low after Indie Bookstore Day the weekend before, or if the stars just weren't aligned that day but the store itself was very empty. The book selection was minimal and the staff was not exactly helpful. Frankly the store felt too big for the minimal amount of books they had. Also customer service was absent that day and after asking some questions to the person at the counter you could tell he just didn't want to be there. The difference in customer interaction between this store and others around Denton was like night and day. Would I come back to Patchouli? Maybe, but it wouldn't be my first stop when visiting Denton.

Jordan Reyes was fabulous, she helped me pick several gifts including olive oil gift baskets, honey, cornbread mixes, candles, coffee beans, and small jelly jars.

Reasonable prices, especially for the quality of the goods. Highly recommend.

Prior to leaving I notice there was a whole 2nd floor we couldn't get too.. If you're wanting to look for that obscure awesome item I have no doubt this is the place.. Oh did I say how friendly there were? Made us feel completely at home and welcome. We visit many similar stores and frankly if I lived in Denton this would be my go to place, I highly recommend this store.

It was Saturday and even in the rain , people were out all over because of the cooler weather Denton is fully decorated for Halloween right now so that helped.

This shop couldn't be more adorable if it tried!…read more I give it 5 stars for being a local small business and for promoting other local businesses. That's awesome and I can get behind that. The soap is $9 for 5 ounces, except the sea salt soaps which are $11. I was told if we bought 3, we get a special deal- $22 I think. We bought one to try out and see how long it lasts, handmade soap is the kind of thing we buy on vacations, so I was excited to try it. We purchased the lemongrass shea butter and it's nice, if not a little rough, and has a lovely, refreshing fragrance. This place isn't cheap for a regular, weekly shopping trip, but everything in this store would make an amazing gift!!! I was amazed at the array of products- jewelry, kitchenware, candles, handmade bags, notebooks, etc. My favorites that I filed away for future gifts were the beautiful bookmarks and the gemstone nightlights. Just gorgeous! My mom and mother in law would LOVE it here! At the time we stopped in, a Saturday mid afternoon, we were the only customers. There was an event going on near the square, so I'm sure that may have been part of the reason. It may also be because they are slightly hidden at the corner of their parking lot, next to a chiropractors office off Elm and Congress. They are the next lot over from where The Cupboard was and the next street over from Seven Mile Café for reference. They are open 10-6pm on weekdays, 10-4pm on Saturdays and closed on Sundays. The employee was friendly and let us know more about the business. Everything in the store is either made by them or a local business owner. I love places with this kind of business practice and though it's not a cheap gift shop, the pricing definitely matches the quality of the products. They have a loyalty program- you get a point for every product you purchase. Once you get 10 points, you get a free soap! I think this is a must stop if you need a gift for a birthday, anniversary or celebration!

I don't know if I have ever purchased shortcut soaps, but I can tell you these soaps are wonderfully nicer than any others I have tried. Soft on the skin , scents are restrained, not too subtle and not overpowering. Goldilocks would be a fan, they are just right. I will be going back for more, now that I have tried lavender lulu, I am really glad they have a deal on 3 bars!

I then actually applied for the job of Police Officer for our local police department, and was interviewed by a sergeant in the living room of our Roberts St. house, where I grew up with my three sisters and brother Scott, who was a very good French Horn player who went to the world famous and notorious North Texas State University, where he honed his musical performance skills to the apex playing in the Washington, D.C. based National Symphony Orchestra; his pastor wife, Leslie playing alongside. The National Symphony Orchestra is simply the best representative for these United States on the performance stage, and they share a place in my heart, because I actually was blessed with the sacred fortune of joining the orchestra in St. Petersburg, and Moscow in the year 1990. Students of history will remember that the Berlin Wall came crash down, and I was blessed with fortune of witnessing history in the moment of finality and sincere graceful end. Take it from someone who actually stood in freezing snow, in Budapest then the former Soviet Union, now basically retired and resting. Give Caesar what is Caesar's, and dare enough to turn over the evil tax collectors's tables; Jesus Christ saved us all with His blood shed on the cross at Calvary; I am blessed with a short enough memory to fill in the blanks of my rough and tumble daily routines, all of which are currently being stress tested, found to be safe and robust and currently found to be lacking in some ways, including the nebulous and vital ways. Remember, one cannot "study" for a typical physician ordered stress test, unless you consider the very logical process of changing our dietary habits. If we are really prepared to go the whole hog, we really should be positively anchored in our Lord Jesus and continue to improve when we can manage. Please remember to be your brother or sister's keeper and continue to #PayItForward to the family members who love you and help to improve. Cheers, Mark F.

On the historic square, there are many beautiful old buildings, and an amazing tearoom. It was the 3 Roses Tea Room where I decided to share my special day, and it was perfect! This tearoom is a family owned women business, and they pay special attention to every detail. It's spacious, beautifully decorated, and makes you feel like you're stepping back in time. Of course the building itself is wonderful, with gorgeous ceiling tiles, and a whispered past. It was the perfect place to share my event as my children's books are vintage inspired. The food was delicious! Everyone commented on the scones - they were a crowd pleaser! But all the food, and the service was truly thoughtful, memorable, and just a delightful experience. I dreamed of holding a release party where people felt like it was an experience and not just a book signing, and that dream came true this day! This tearoom and the owners made this day more than special to me, they made it memorable.

They are a for profit company that takes your donations and sells them to make money. They say they donate some of the profits. The issue is they have a long list of things they wont accept. So when you are clearing out your craft supplies make sure you have a printout of everything they don't want. For people accepting free things, this seems a little drastic. If you get a binder or a fake flower you dont want, just throw it in the trash. There were a pair of pants in the box that I was told is unacceptable. Fine, throw it away have someone standing around walk it next door to the clothing resale. I liked the idea of donating craft supplies to a crafting store but it is much easier to just toss most of the new stuff along with the slightly used stuff in the trash.
