    This is a gift shop we passed as we explored Providence. They have many options from special items for dogs to jewelry to apparel. On the other side of the shop is ice cream treats.

    The Landing is a cute café that proudly serves locally roasted New Harvest Coffee and Gifford's Ice Cream from Maine, has a selection of breakfast pastry, baked goods and bottled cold beverages, and is a gift shop located in the heart of Downtown Providence. The gift shop has Rhode Island and coastal themed crafts, candles, jewelry, clothing, hats, home goods, table wear, magnets, ornaments, art and gifts. I stopped at The Landing recently for ice cream. We looked at the different flavors offered and I chose a small cup of the cannoli. There are three different sizes-small, medium, and large. The employee asked if I wanted to sample the cannoli prior since she heard other people not really liking it since it was different from what they expected and I said sure. I really enjoyed the cannoli. It had tiny chocolate chips and cannoli shell pieces. There were plenty of tables and couches inside for you to enjoy your ice cream, coffee, or baked goods. In addition, The Landing is one of the check in spots for tours with the Providence River Boat Company. I took the Daily Narrated Tours prior and check-in was a very easy process. If you have time, definitely stop by The Landing to check out their souvenirs, coffee, baked goods, or ice cream and soak in the AC. There is an entrance on Pine Street and one on Dyer Street.

    This store is a combination of many great things....it's a souvenir shop, a coffee house, an ice cream parlor and a check-in desk for the Providence Boat and Kayak tours. Their selection of souvenir items is really good and varied...good prices as well...I volunteer at the Visitor Center and what we offer at the center is only a fraction of what the Landing offers... This is a great spot for visitors and locals to get some PVD or RI items !

The store is heavily curated by the owner Nicole, who is also an artist herself, & it shows. It was an adventure, moving from display to display, always finding something new to look at & admire. It also smelled SPECTACULAR in the store thanks to a selection of gender-neutral scented items - soaps, perfumes, candles, body oils, etc. I was gift shopping for other people, but can't wait to go back to buy a treat for myself. I had my eyes on a "mezcal blanco" perfume roller. Nicole is a Providence local who creates upcycled tie ascots (hard to explain but beautiful to behold.) They are, in themselves, a masterclass in textile design. Shopping around this store was a total mood booster for me today. I can't wait to see what the future brings for Nicole & Asterfields.

Suddenly, the police were called. Two Risd police officers arrived, detained me, and demanded my ID. I had no idea what was happening and was completely shocked After speaking with the store manager, the officers told me that about two years ago, when I purchased earrings at this store, I HAD TRIED THEM ON, WHICH WAS APPARENTLY NOT ALLOWED TO TRIED THEM ON! .. The same saleswoman who sold me the earrings at the time was at the desk today and she/or the store mange called the police today. she disappeared immediately when the officers arrived. The police officers themselves seemed surprised by the accusation. I am still struggling to process what happened today. I do not recommend purchasing anything from this store--mainly of course because of the disturbing and behavior and ridiculous accusation made by the saleswoman/manager , as well as the store manager's entirely lack of judgment, also of the exorbitant and unrealistic prices of this store. Therefore, I returned the set of necklace and the earring. The entire incident caused me significant emotional distress, and I remain shaken and upset by the injustice event I experienced due to the store manager's poor handling and poor judgement It is a shame and a disgrace... He/She showed a complete lack of judgment and caused me trauma for no fault of my own. If the saleswoman had asked me not to wear the earrings, there is no way I would have worn them.I complied immediately, after she asked not to wear the earrings.I am confident that the store's security cameras will fully corroborate my account of these events. The decision to involve law enforcement over an alleged incident from about two years ago about trying on earrings that, In addition, I would like to clarify that I purchased the earrings, and returned them in full compliance with the store's return policy. After the incident, a third party who heard about what occurred speculated that the saleswoman may have lost her commission on the returned item. Its raise the possibility that she made sure to inform the store manager that I was in the store, Since almost intentionally the moment I arrived at the store until the police arrived, she was busy texting on her phone. What deeply concerns me is that despite the fact that approximately two years had passed since that purchase and return, the saleswoman appeared to act in a retaliatory manner. Her behavior felt targeted and disproportionate, as if she were deliberately singling me out or "hunting" me, which ultimately led to an unfounded and humiliating escalation of the situation.This whole Spiel were not in my awareness when the officers approached me. This was and still shocking, absurd, unjustified and demonstrates a serious failure of managerial judgment. This action caused me undue distress, profound public humiliation and emotional stress, for which the store bears responsibility! The police made me sit on a chair at the store entrance while questioning me, as all customers watched, causing me public degradation and personal shame! I expect an internal review, and apology from the store manager. This is serious and troubling enough and on its own, and it raises the concern that it could happen again to any customer! The question also arises as to whether calling the police over the wearing of earrings on my ears is lawful and legitimate??? The store manager's actions constituted intentional harassment and abusive conduct! There was no legitimate basis for the manager's action, He abusing his authority and exploiting his position. I believe the manager targeted me as an immigrant, identifiable by my accent, believing I was easy to haras, as well racially motivated, despite my being an American citizen with 40 years in the field of education. Such behavior from management is unacceptable and warrants attention!

They did have a sign on the door asking customers to not take photos while inside- whether it is for security purposes or to ward off the use of google image. I guess you will have to visit yourself! Extremely small parking lot, it looks as though they share the parking lot with a few other businesses, but have a few spots exclusively for their store.

My mom started walking into the store because it is her birthday and wanted to see the jewelry. Immediately upon entering we noticed how beautiful and organized the shop is. Rather small in space with only a few costumers in shop. The merchandise was from all over the world and my family (being well traveled) noticed many heritage pieces. My oldest sister had asked the store owner if she had made the jewelry herself. The woman firmly and with very rude intention responded "what?, what are you talking about NO." Afterwards we attempted to keep light conversation about the countries the items were from. The owner and her daughter are extremely rude and disconnected. They never once looked up at us or bothered to stop texting to answer our questions. On top of it they're very uneducated on their products and extremely over priced for items you can get for bulk on Amazon. I would of purchased some jewelry from this store if the woman would actually care about selling their products. Unfortunately I will never come back here.
