When traveling for business, I set my Google Maps for "find scrapbook stores near me, and make my…read moretrip more enjoyable by stopping at Independent (Indie) stores to see the cool thing they offer that you cannot get at big box stores. Cafe Crop was a rare scrapbook find! I so wish I lived closer (4 hours away), because I would be there all the time creating PaperArt, laughing, and talking! Big space with lots of "indie" products that you will not find at the big box stores Cool "kits" that they put together for classes and create extra to sale those who cannot attend class. The kit has all products and instruction sheet. I bought a Graphic45 Christmas Lantern & Accordian Fold Tag Albion. Even the directions are gorgeous!! Color-printed with step-by-step guidance, instructional pictures and supply list (which you don't need if you buy the kit!!!). These are definitely a keeper for other projects. Pretty, pretty, pretty!! Lots of table space with an open invitation to stop by and scrap any time. I LOVE that idea. What a great way to bring in and build relationships with clients. Full coffee bar for those who enjoy a hot cups while scrapping or shopping. Another winner!! No wonder this satire has brought in specail classes from Graphic45 and had the amazing Finnabair visit their shop, hold a class and leave them with a gorgeous Finnabair original. I was drooling (on the inside)! Give them a chance when you are in the area, you will not be disappointed.

I got to the self check out and rangy items and oneced finished, I realized I rung up some item that I wasn't meaning to purchase. I pushed the notification for help and waited. That was at 1:36PM exact, I know because my realtor called at that exact time. There was one middle aged female servicing the front counter at register 1. Once her customers left she answered the phone and assisted the caller. She called for assistance with items throughout the store multiple time's. Looking down my way multiple times and never acknowledge Mr. I signaled to her for assistance looked around to see if anyone else was available to help Mr. Yhe line got longer and she would say, self checkout is open, followed by I can help the next person at 1. Then came in my direction Never acknowledged me. I said ma'am I just need a assistance with the one item and I held it up. She said, I gotta do this first and pointed to a box in her hand. I gave her several moments to help assist me but after watching her take customer after customer, I realized she had no intention on servicing me. I got my belongings and I just left, very hurt, very confused and very angry because I stood there patiently and I waited for service and I can't help but feel discriminated against I mean there was no other reason for what I experienced. Oh and my total waiting time from 1:36PM, was 2:05PM when i called and asked to speak with a manager or supervisor got hung up on the 1st time then no one answered. I know my few bucks won't affect your business in anyway and I do patronize about 4-5 times out the year but Ill never come back again l. I have never treated anyone in the manner I was treated, ever. ​​

It's a bright and inviting space with a unique way of accessing fabric, fat quarter swatches of each print are hung, with a numbered tag, on the wall and they'll run to the back to fetch the yardage for you. It reminded me of furniture shopping and piling all the swatches on the table while you agonize over colors. The only downsize is swatches are hung by color not collection which could make things a bit more difficult to find or identify. They carry high quality quilters cottons with a wide selection of prints and blenders mostly modern if I had to say their emphasis and a small section of batiks. They offer long arm services and classes which are just getting started back up again after their brief closure from Covid. Certainly a must stop if you're an avid quilter.
