The store is small (as is expected for a small town downtown shop) but packed to the gills with cooking wares, utensils, food and more. For such a small place it really had a nice little selection of things. There were lots of cheese ball mixes, drink mixes, holiday treats (as it was December) to go with cooking pans, utensils, dinner ware, etc. Really, for a small town, this was a pretty cool little store. This is really the store to go if you have friends or family that like to cook and you need gifts for them. Small but cool selection for lovers of cooking, baking and entertaining.

How have I not yet written a review for Iris? Our first…read moreexperience here was in 2022 - either the week before or after tulip time, I can't remember... What I DO remember is this: This particular day brought intermittent rain, which was especially stressful with two toddlers in tow. We walked to Iris in hopes of finding a dry spot to sit for awhile as our accommodations weren't ready for us quite yet. Upon arriving, we realized the door was locked and they'd closed up a few minutes before. However - when the staff saw us, they promptly invited us in. I protested because we wanted to stay awhile, not just grab and go, and they met my protests with warm hospitality. We ended up staying and playing for at least an hour or more while they cleaned the space, and kept inviting other shelter-seeking customers into their business as well. I was truly so delighted and relieved by their kindness. Not to mention their coffee is TRULY excellent. Roasted in house, served up by a knowledgeable staff who truly loves what they do, and so many creative rotating seasonal offerings. We ended up getting to chat briefly with the owner when we overheard her mention our favorite coffeeshop from our home town. So many cool little connections and crossovers. We've made it a point to go out of our way to visit any time we can, and every time we've experienced the same warm hospitality and excellence.

Let's start with the drinks- the breve was good (5/5), and Cherry/almond lemonade was lowkey the…read morebest lemonade ever!!! And, the strawberry matcha latte tasted like watered down grassy milk with a memory of strawberry (it was one of the worst matches lattes I've ever had). The ambiance was lacking because of the crush of peeps for the tulip festival, but the drinks were made quickly! However, when my lovely sister asked for a drink that was sold out and then asked for the breve the gal gave her attitude that she didn't want one of the "tulip" themed drinks instead... if someone knows what they want, let them order it!
