(6/5/19) I happened across Barnes and Noble as I was exploring the University Circle area. It…read morelooked interesting and I hadn't been in a bookstore in quite some time. Upon entering I was amazed at how few books were displayed! Most of the store was taken up by college swag on the first floor as well as on the second. About half of the second floor was devoted to textbooks, but was currently empty as the fall semester hadn't yet begun. I actually found a book that interested me, but the price was not what I wanted to pay. Will I return? Sadly I tend to doubt it. Its easier to browse books on Amazon.

I can't say enough good things about this place! The owners are so kind and helpful! They travel to…read moreItaly every year to hand pick the goods you see in this store!! My favorite thing to do is stop in here during feast of the assumption with my aunt every year... and then a few months later buy her a gift for Christmas from here!! This is such a treat we have here in Cleveland and I cannot recommend this place enough!! Just beautiful pieces of art we can use and share with our family!!! I could spend hours in the place finding the perfect gift or set to use! Everything is the best quality so it is hard to pick... but let me tell you... every penny you spend is worth the value you get out of these products!! Can't wait to come back and see what is new!! See you so soon!

My family and I happened upon this shop on a previous trip and, peeking through the windows adoringly at all the lovely fabrics and baubles, made a note to return. We finally got our chance to visit a couple weeks ago and were absolutely delighted by the selection of fabrics and notions. They have many contemporary fine fabric designers and styles from which to choose in addition to high quality threads and various notions you may need for different projects from garment construction to quilting to other household crafts. They stock quite a bit of Liberty of London fabrics, high-end cottons that feel like buttery silk, which would make for some dreamy apparel, as well as many contemporary and fun designs in all sorts of bolts and rolls. Their independent patterns selection was also awesome with an entire wall for garment-project inspiration from Deer & Doe, Colette, Cashmerette, Closet Case, Grainline Studio, Liesl + Co, Megan Nielsen, Merchant & Mills, and others. I was instantly inspired to get my sewing machine running again in hopes of finishing some projects I'd already planned along with new ones catalyzed by this shopping trip. They also feature some sewing craft kits; embroidery and stitch art kits, supplies and hoops; and a selection of yarns and such for the crochet and yarn enthusiasts. I only wish I were closer to the store (or that it was closer to me) so that I could visit more frequently and perhaps also attend some classes. As it was, I left with some beautiful fabric including a discounted remnant of the lovely Liberty cotton and a new t-shirt pattern I'm looking forward to trying my hand at. I hope to return for more patterns, fabrics, and perhaps find a project in which to incorporate some of that lovely ribbon by which I was absolutely mesmerized. Just when you think it can't get any better than having some new raw materials and a dream of a garment to take form, they wrap up your purchase in paper and tie it with string!

We are from out of state and I bought my mom this bracelet last year and got her more buttons when I was in Cleveland for our son's college graduation in May.

Two ladies were working on October 9th and were incredibly rude to my son who attempted to engage them in conversation. I will no longer support this business and will take every opportunity to tell people about my experience here. These ladies should be ashamed of themselves.

To update the lone user who has reviewed this place:…read more It looks like they are only open on Tuesdays 10-4pm now, per their website. I went here for the first time today and loved it. Prices are much more reasonable than Goodwill. Their clothing selection was modest, but I still found some great deals (sweaters for $2-$3.50, an antique cruet for $2.50). The ladies at the check-out desk were very kind. Heads up, it's cash only (plus tax), so keep that in mind when you visit. I also quietly walked through the church's sanctuary to admire the architecture after they had finished a sermon. I am not religious, but you don't have to be in order to appreciate it's beauty. If you decide to take a look during your visit, please be respectful!

It's open on Tuesdays & Thursdays from 10:30am to 4:30 pm. They are staffed by the wonderful women of the church who are dedicated and kind. It is a refuge for neighborhood people who cannot afford new clothing or things for the home. They sell everything from vintage clothes, to flatware, glasses, artwork, post cards, jewelry, shoes, home and garden items too! The place is a treasure but the best experience about the Cache are the lovely women that run it. Located in the basement of the church

MOIO is a touch of sophistication (new boutique) in the historic Cedar Fairmount district in…read moreCleveland Heights. I walked into this space, gasped, and said to the owner - "This is the best thing to ever happen to this space!" This retail space had so many stories and looks from being a boutique to being a photo studio to this new refined era. It feels like whispering a secret sharing this review because the boutique just opened and is intentionally not advertised. Even people in the neighborhood haven't all found it but you just did. Ambiance: High ceilings, chic exposed concrete look, neutral drapes, expert staging, and ritzy feel. You instantly feel transported to SoHo (maybe Rick Owens concrete minimalism space). Locally I can only compare it to the stark elegance of RH (Restoration Hardware). It's really a marriage of a boutique and gallery. There is a lounge area with couches and chairs for you to unwind while making purchasing decisions. The fitting room has a huge stunning mirror to evaluate your fit. It's simply gorgeous. Merchandise: As you enter the boutique you'll find men's merchandise to your left and women's merchandise to your right. Women's sizes go up to L. Some of the brands that can be found in the store are Silk laundry, Mijeong park Marle, and St Agni. The clothing is well curated with pleasant feeling fabrics - silks and soft fabrics. The owner suggested considering unisex look and checking out the men's collection. You can certainly find a dress for your night out in Cedar Fairmount. Clothing is around $100-200 at least based on the tags I've looked at. There are a few jewelry pieces and accessories in store. Home decor is on the shelf in the center of the store and few items are strategically placed around the store. You'll find ceramics, the thinned glass, vases, candles, and more. Most articles are worthy of display in your home. Art coffee books are also scattered around the space like Auguste Rodin's art. Most artifacts have little stories about their exclusivity and European origin. You'll find plenty of distinct pieces to spoil yourself or other people in your life. They are pricey but every object seems well curated, high quality, and hard to find elsewhere in the wild. Service: The owner is very friendly and introduces you to the space. Beverages are offered to customers. The guests look like they're from the pages of Vogue. I definitely should have dressed up to shop here. Neighborhood: The neighborhood where the boutique is located is known for its dining and new-ish wine shop. All are within walking distance in the same commercial district. I loved the lavish feel of this boutique. I love well executed interior design, which is clearly seen here. Personally, I wear plus size so no clothing was for me. If it was, I'd be all over neutral silky dresses and blouses. I hope to visit this boutique and shop here for home decor in the future.

She did lengthen the necklace for me but clearly told me that the other items could be exchanged. Since the earrings and pendant did not work well for my wife we brought them back for exchange and were told through an assistant, who consulted by phone with Eve (who is seldom there), that all were custom made specifically for me and no exchange was possible. This was either a case of very bad memory or records, or a blatant lie. Eve would not return any phone calls on the matter from me or my wife. This is a shop with nice jewelry but apparently with poor ownership that will not stand behind its promises or deal with problems once a sale is complete. The assistant in the shop, who clearly was afraid of Eve, offered no meaningful comment of any kind. Not sure what is going on here but shop at Artisan Gallery in Cleveland's Little Italy only at great risk of problems and aggravation after the sale should a need come up.
