The service was friendly and the staff were enthusiastic to help me. The downstairs level has a great assortment of homewares, souvenirs, and local food items. We bought a few jams from a local Vermont company for ourselves and as gifts for family members. I loved the large selection and spent a good 30 mins browsing. Very enjoyable experience and atmosphere. The store has sampling stations throughout so you can taste the products before purchasing. I also enjoyed the fun photo opportunity in store. They had an old ski lift car you could sit in for pics.

I really wanted to love this place... and did up to a point. They have all kinds of things to…read morebuy... some are touristy and souvenir in nature, but other things are interesting, fun or even pretty. The problem I had with Stowe Mercantile is that I found out they severely price-gauge the consumer. Let's be honest... I'm sure I've overpaid for plenty of stuff in my time. Of course I have, and I'd do it again if I really want to. However, something just rubbed me the wrong way in this place. I was looking at some "Princess" game for my granddaughter. I saw the retail price was $14, and the store sticker price was $21 or $22. I just put the game down when I saw that... and they were blatant about it... didn't even try to cover over the retail price. They placed the store sticker right next to the original price. That was a bridge too far, and I just got pissed off and didn't want to support this store... so I didn't.

The shop also carries a little bit of local merch and some fun extra gifts. One thing I really appreciated was the affordable postcards, which is important to note because they are up-charged at some surrounding stores. I ended up grabbing a few, plus a fun magnet, and they also had a couple local art prints. The inside is super charming, a cozy, feel-good stop whether you're looking for a new read or just a small souvenir.

The sample station at the front of the store is an excellent feature - it's what convinced me I needed to purchase a bottle of maple rum hot sauce!

Whilst everyone here has been SUPER friendly so far, I'd give it to the staff here as being *the* friendliest, chirpiest, and nicest people I've come across during this visit. It's obvious that there is excitement in the air due to the sheer number of people visiting as well as the once-in-a-lifetime event *in* this particular area BUT you've got to give to them for showing it in the sweetest way possible. They carry quite a bit of trinkets and locally made goods and make some of their own as well. I just wanted something simple to commemorate this visit and left with a bag they made for the eclipse, a sticker, and as always, a fridge magnet to add to the collection. Definitely stop by if you're in this part of town!

You know how you always say "I wish I'd said....."? I really wish I'd ask the person behind the counter if she/they were having problems. She/they were so incredibly unfriendly and almost flat out rude. I kept thanking her, when she really should have thanked me. Love Capitol Stationers but, three hours later and now home, and I'm still thinking about the absolutely poor customer service. A few minutes after that visit, I was in Roam, and had the absolute BEST time interacting with three staff members. Yes, I bought more than I should have, but the customer service was the best I've witnessed in a long time. Business owners: train your staff!!! And, if this staff member was an owner, shame on you.
