Pure Roots is a "must shop" boutique that features unique gifts from local artists. I love…read moresupporting local stores, and my favorite thing to buy is the foaming hand wash soap from the Glenn Avenue Soap Company, handcrafted in Columbus, OH. My go-to scent is the Bandit's Oil, which sells out quickly, but the owner is always willing to assist and put in an order upon request. The store also accepts plastic bags and films that are not recyclable through Rumpke recycling. Once the city receives 500 pounds of plastics, the TREX company will make a bench for use around the city. So far, over two dozen benches have been made through the efforts of the city's recyclers. I highly recommend that you visit this store in Uptown Westerville.

She is knowledgeable about the artists and products she carries and isn't a pushy salesperson. As a vendor, I appreciate her respect and her timely reports of what I've sold. Out of the local stores I sell in, I think I've spent the most money here! I've bought numerous original paintings (3 by the same artist). Also really dig the ceramics, plants, soaps, and body butters. When I go restock there I go in with the mindset that I don't NEED anymore Art AND that I am trying to DOWNSIZE. But, often end up seeing something I can't let get away because of it's uniqueness and reasonable. Pictured is one painting I've purchased here by Bicklearts.

The roominess of the accessible space is afforded by lofted ceilings in both of the large gathering areas.

Columbus is lucky to have a space like this accessible to our community and vibrant arts scene.

The staff at the desk were very welcoming and helpful.

Today I made my first trip to Birdie Books and absolutely fell in love with it. It is small but it…read morepacks a punch. So many great titles and authors to choose from. I picked up two books on my TBR today. Everyone working there was so kind and friendly. I'm an introvert so I like to browse in peace but they were happy to answer a question that I had and were bright and kind at the checkout. I also picked up a little booklet of the local indie bookshops and got a stamp at checkout. I also picked up a chai latte from the cafe. And then I went out on their little patio and had the time of my life writing in journal, sipping my chai and reading my new books. This feels like a place that I can be an introvert but enjoy myself in public. I don't know if that makes sense but it is how I feel. Looking forward to going back soon!

I don't really buy books anymore and use the library but I love being in a bookstore and being near books. The bar looked neat and was pretty however I didn't get to try anything. They had a reserved sign up for an hour from when I was there but they didn't make it feel very welcoming that it was okay to go in still. No one acknowledged me or even looked at me. The staff was stuffy and ignored patrons. I was dispappointed as I liked that concept but didn't feel welcomed in their shop.

We went yesterday just in time to see the 'best of 2026' show and we loved it! It is indeed more that just crafts, it was also kinds of works of art done by craftspeople and there were lots of beautiful pieces to look at. Loved that we were also able to interact with voting for our favorite, and also a scavenger hunt (with stickers as prizes). Such great things in the gift shop and loved the silent auction section too. I know for sure I'll be back every time they have a new show- it's free to enter, walk around and see great art. And the employee working was so friendly and told us all about it and gave us lots of helpful info and attention. Highly recommend, we were there about an hour, lovely way to spend some time during a hot afternoon.

I heard about Tiki Botanicals through a partnered Yelp event, when I mentioned that I was unable to attend the event the shopkeeper right away said he would honor the event promo. When you walk in there are paper shoppers bags along the wall you can grab to start putting your goodies in. They offer candles, bath bombs, bar soap, hair products, and more! When you check out you get to pick which tissue paper to use in your bag. So adorable and a great touch. As I was leaving the shop I heard the shopkeepers discussing what they would work on for the day. They were going to pour candles. It was a very Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion moment and it made me smile from ear to ear! You can really tell they enjoy what they do and know how to provide a memorable customer experience.

Maybe the employees were having a bad day, maybe I was. There are some days I don't want to talk or smile either. The last time I was here, Cora herself was at the register and a joy to talk to. I felt very comfortable taking my time browsing the whole store, and took a few trinkets home with me. Their wares are random and constantly changing, but that day was a heart-shaped box with hand-glued buttons for me and an antique pink glass ashtray as a gift. (Fantastic gift store.) For me personally, I do consider this a pricier store - but it is so lovingly and uniquely curated, I can understand that choice. Now that I've given it a couple more tries, I can say it is worth just walking around anyway. If you're into freaky macabre stuff. I hope my negative review didn't do any damage and I'm still welcome to awe at the pet leeches!
