For my 300th Review, I wanted to save it for a special entry!!!!…read more Last year I drove by a few times, but never went in. Thank god I did yesterday. This place is a TREASURE TROVE. It's more than antiques. Oftentimes, antique hunting will get old (excuse the pun), because you can't see yourself decorating your home with worn stuff, no matter how interesting it looks. At Ozarks, they do a magnificent job of staging the areas with vintage and new to create a modern and romantic look. Wandering through this store is a delight because their furniture and object d'arts are whimsical, flirty, and full of personality. I saw all kinds of styles, from American Colonial, to German, to French, and of course, Italian. They have chandeliers, vases, candle holders, foyer tables, chairs, stained glass, bookcases, wine racks, mirrrors, vanities, and more! The furniture prices can range from $50 to $1000 that I saw; but you see the quality in the craftsmanship, so it's worth the price if it really catches your eye and heart. Be sure to check out their blog, as they update it with new items: http://ozarksalaska.blogspot.com/

This store does have some cute items, and I'm sure there are a few exclusive pieces here and there…read more But after my recent experience I will never support this store again. We paid $120 for a lamp and then found out later it was part of a $120 set of TWO from Bed Bath & Beyond! When you shop at a boutique, you expect that higher prices mean you're getting something more unique, higher quality, or thoughtfully sourced. Instead, They're reselling mass market items at a 100% markup while presenting them as boutique finds. I think it's wrong to take advantage of customers this way, especially when you're shopping with the expectation that you're paying more for something special or unique. It Just be cautious and check brands before you splurge.

This is a cool store for the aspiring kitchen warrior…read more It really has everything one could ever need for cooking, and so much more. Le Creuset, blenders, juicers, toasters, espresso machines. It's everything I could ever want as an aspiring meal artiste. It is actually hard to catalogue everything. There are greeting cards, puzzles, games, candles. There are random posters, and signs hung up along the staircase up to the second floor where many more items, usually on sale, are located. Two particular enjoyments: 1. The chocolate bar selection. All sorts and types of flavors. Mint, caramel, and my favorite, potato chip. 2. The popcorn kernel selection. Every type of kernel for popping along with all sorts of ingredients to sprinkle upon the exploded kernels. The employees genuinely seem to enjoy their job. They appear friendly with each other and the customers.

Metro cooks is a cool store to spend an hour in. They have sooo many things you can buy. One side…read moreof the store is everything you could possibly want for a kitchen. The other side is fun gift tho gs and other fun stuff you must need for your kitchen. Over the years I have bought a plastic deviled egg holder, a deviled egg squirter thing, a pan rack you have from your wall, extra hooks for that rack, cast irons, various vegetable containers that look like your veggies, a cheese plate and knife, a popcorn bucket that separates all the kernels for you, lots of gift items like unique mugs, cat stuff, stickers, you name it you will find something for a gift if you look here. They are actually competitive in pricing when I google something in store Amazon has it for the same price or maybe the store is 1 or 2 bucks more. But hey no shipping charges and it feels good to shop local. Upstairs is the clearance items so dont forget to browse up there.

I came in this time looking for a milk frothier to go with my espresso machine. The staff were very unhelpful and seemed mystified or even dumbfounded that it was an item in the store. When I asked about product specifics they didn't even know about it and read off the package. There are no returns from the store, so make sure you know what your getting, staff may or may not know what you are getting either! Interesting.

Most people aren't familiar with Elaine S Baker & Associates, here in Anchorage. It's a wonderful…read morefurniture store with some unique and wonderful upscale pieces. Beautifully hand crafted wood pieces and furniture you just won't find anywhere else in Anchorage, let alone AK. The pack a ton of furniture into their location and it's a lot to take in, but well worth it. We have a beautiful, partial live edge, somewhat distressed bookcase that was a stunning addition to our living room. No pressure sales associates that are there to answer questions but also give you the time and space you need to linger and discuss pieces and options. They too offer not only furniture but decor as well. I'm sure their style isn't for everyone, however we found many decor items and furniture pieces that were beautiful! We will continue to shop their as the need arises!

This business is primarily dedicated to make huge profits. If they don't have an item, they will…read morehave it shipped to Alaska at a percentage of the cost of the item, which is always vastly greater than the actual shipping cost. They act as if they're doing the customer a favor in this regard. You're much better off to buy items cheaper in Seattle and use a freight forwarder to Alaska. Customer service ends after they get their payment!

I finally made it over here, after reading fellow Yelper Vic's review. Thank you Vic! Lazy Dog…read moreAntiques and Collectibles is located behind Dennys on Debarr and Bragaw (as Vic said) . I asked my GPS lady to guide me in, as I have driven past many times without even seeing this place. I sure wish they had a more visible location, because for what they have to offer it would be worth it. I spent what seemed like half an hour, but it actually turned out to be more like an hour and a half. They had to chase me out at closing time! I had no idea the time had just flown. The thing is, one has to take it slow because there is so much to see. Perfect place for small gifts to give to people who have everything. I loved seeing the old time Barbie Dolls still in the box, and a fascinating G.I. Joe doll dressed as General Douglas MacArthur! Lots to see for the lover of small figurines. I was surprised to see the well restored pieces of furniture, and they even have clothes and linens. Check out the dishes, beverage glasses, old favorite juice glasses and even Corning Ware in excellent condition (blue flowers and all!) with the lids! A few negatives: I noticed Carrie R.'s review mentioning the rude dude. Alas, I think he is the one who bellowed at me to leave, come closing time. No need for that. Darn it, the old fart is still there. I also did not appreciate the vinyl records being displayed in such a haphazard, crammed up way. It made it very difficult to shop them. Nice big store however, with much to offer. My mom was a huge fan of antiques and would have loved this place.

Unfortunately, my last time going here I felt the ladies working were less than welcoming. I've…read moredecided to delete the photos I attached to my previous review and update it. They seemed unapproachable and perturbed to say the least and I've always been nothing but kind and respectful. Vraies vieilles grincheuses et rabat-joie. There were several locked cabinets throughout the store, which I needed assistance with. Each time, including the first, I was met with some agitation, as though they were annoyed. How dare I, ask them for assistance, right? Keep in mind, I purchased something from each cabinet by the way. Treating a long-time customer or a PAYING customer, yet alone ANY customer this way is simply unacceptable. As a fellow business owner, I would be deeply ashamed of such poor customer service. I nearly walked out of the store due to the disrespect, but I felt it would be disrespectful with all the items I had set behind the counter to purchase and don't want to stoop to others' levels. I hope those of you I dealt with can do better. Regrettably, my perception of this store has been somewhat tainted. While I've always felt the younger girl and blonde women who are often around have always been exceptionally kind, (they were not present that day) I can't help but feel that the my last experience was more than disappointing. I've always been a loyal supporter of this local business, even when we've found better deals on eBay or at auctions. It's truly a shame.

Their pricing was overall better than other nearby gift stores. They clearance TSHIRTS & sweat shirts for under $10.
