    I hate to provide a (long) bad review on a locally owned, independently run, woman-owned business…read more-- especially a store I've shopped at for 20 years and whose products I adore -- but I had such a disgusting experience here recently that I couldn't keep quiet. I went in with a friend last week - the first time since I developed brain damage. I was having some noticeable symptoms: trouble talking, a little hesitant with my movements and balance, and really sensitive to sound.  When we entered the store, the owner greeted us, and we said hello. We were the only customers at the time. I looked around a little bit, showed my friend something I was excited about (vacuum beads!), and then asked (after checking to see that we indeed were the only customers in the store) if it would be possible for her to turn the music down, seeing as I had brain damage, and despite wearing my noise canceling headphones, it was still a little louder than I could handle. She squinted her eyes me for a while, her mouth dropped opened with disgust, and then said, "I guess so."  She turned the music down.  I thanked her. I continued wandering the store looking at all the pretty things, still holding the vacuum beads I was planning on buying.  The phone rang, and she picked it up and started talking. I found what I was looking for (a powder puff), grabbed it, and continued shopping.  While she was still on the phone, the music came back on, and loudly.  At first I thought it it was an oversight, but after a few minutes, it was clear she had done this deliberately.  I went and put the vacuum beads back. At this point, I just wanted to get out of the store. Things got worse when I went up to the counter to pay for the powder puff. When I approached she didn't greet me, nor did she make eye contact. Her face read disgust.  I paid while trying to make some small talk, thanking her for turning the music down at the beginning, but she didn't respond.  She was cold and uninterested.  I took my change, and when we started to walk out, she accused me of stealing the vacuum beads. I told her I did not, that they were right where they originally were, as I had put them back.  I offered for her to search my bag.  She refused.  I offered for her to search me.  She refused, and then said, "Oh yes, I see them now. You can leave now."  I walked out stunned. I have never been treated like that by a store owner.  She probably doesn't remember interacting with me, but before I became ill, she used to be nice to me.    My friend went back inside to ask her why she had been so rude to me, as we had been the only people in the store, had purchased something, and had been quiet.  Sadly but  predictably, my friend didn't get a great answer.  The owner said she thought I was acting "weird and different."  Yeah, well, news flash: brain damage will make you act weird. I'm sorry I can't easily get words out and have hesitation in my steps. I waited 5 days and then returned the product with the receipt.  I knew that she wouldn't give us our money back, but I'll be damned if I would keep one thing of hers in my house.  She wasn't there, but we gave it to the employee (who was very kind). True, I didn't shop there often, but when I went in, she used to be pleasant to me. This time, she acted like I had a contagious disease and like my disability made me disgusting (not to mention a criminal).  Her attitude towards people who are different from her is something all religions would be ashamed of. I'll buy my bath products from Amazon.  In fact, I got the same powder puff $3 cheaper from Amazon, and I feel a hell of a lot better knowing I will never support such blatant ableist attitudes again.

    Please be aware that this store has "R" rated items. Was very embarrassed having to explain that to…read moremy 9 yr old grand daughter. We went in to shop for her mom, thinking she would find something appropriate in a bath shop ! Will never shop here again !

Lauren is so kind and welcoming that I will definitely be coming back with my husband and kids. I was under the impression that you had to make reservations before coming here but now you can literally walk in when they're open and find a seat and enjoy yourself. You can also just walk in and shop. I highly recommend that you book your mom gatherings or just friend gatherings here at this cute little place and if you contact Lauren, you can even schedule a private event here for you and your friends or family.

    From the owner: At Buttercup, we believe in the beauty of personal expression, whether through the flowers you…read morechoose or the wine you savor.
