What a joy to step back in time and experience a thoughtful update all in one visit! It's been over…read more30 years since I last saw the soda fountain in Chester, and walking into Rusty Chandelier brought back all the nostalgia--while impressing me with some much-needed updates that make the space even more inviting and functional. I loved seeing the classic soda fountain still holding court, now complemented by a dedicated ordering station, a convenient pick-up area, and plenty of comfy seating for guests to relax and enjoy. Coming from the city and working in North Lake Tahoe, I half-expected boutique pricing (especially in a seasonal vacation town), but I was pleasantly surprised. My mother-in-law and I couldn't stop grabbing treasures--home decor, gifts, little finds--and we were both stunned at how reasonable everything was when we checked out. It felt like shopping the way it should be. After we shopped to our heart's content, we stopped at the soda fountain/coffee bar to celebrate our finds. Jody recommended the affogato when we couldn't make up our minds, and wow--it was divine. That little sweet pick-me-up was the cherry on top of a perfect visit. The store itself is beautifully decorated, well-organized, and thoughtfully laid out. I especially appreciated the changes designed to streamline the space during busier times--it's clear that Jody and her team are thinking ahead and working hard. We were greeted warmly the moment we walked in and felt welcome the entire time. I've seen a few cranky reviews lately, and frankly, I don't get it. If you've never worked in hospitality or the service industry, maybe don't rush to critique. Creating a space like this--and running it well--is no easy task. Jody and her team are doing a fantastic job, and it shows in every detail. I live about two hours away, but I'll definitely be back! I'm especially excited to check out some of the upcoming classes and the holiday decor as the seasons change. Rusty Chandelier is the kind of place you want to share with your friends--and I plan to do just that

So disappointed with the new updates :( This place used to be a huge staple for our family but…read moresince they ripped out all of the charm and character, it has felt cold and unfriendly. The gifts are the same as every other shop on Main Street and it has lost its value for ice cream and shopping. We've only gone to the Pine Shack since, much cheaper and still a great place to be. Not everything needs to be millenial grey and sad.

Despite that, this place is just chock full of beautiful furniture and home goods to make you feel all woodsy and warm.
