If you're looking for a shirt, this is the place, a souvenir.. yes, they have it, loaf of bread or…read moreramen Yes and Yes. A great little find in a small town, you can also find some great outerwear in the other half of the store. Hats, shirts, hoodies, jackets .. like real out door stuff. Found a great tentree sweater but just couldn't bring myself to it. I did find a great lightweight hoodie that I had been looking for. Take your time and browse, they got it all at the Al-Mart.

Just want to give a shout-out to this wonderful store and Sharon who works there. I've stopped in a…read morecouple of times on Colorado road trips and there are some real treasures that make the store a great place to browse. On my most recent visit, I bought a painting and needed it shipped to Seattle. Sharon took down my info and said she'd make the arrangements with a local shipping company. When she investigated, she felt the price was too high so she created your own packaging and took my purchase to a spot in Denver (the next time she headed there), arranging for it to be shipped at one-third the original quote. So above and beyond! What's more, when I called to make the final payment arrangements, I immediately recognized Sharon's friendly voice from when I was in the store. It's because of Sharon that my partner commented, then and now, "I love Coloradans!" Yes, she's excellent PR for the entire state. Worth a visit. It's going to be a regular stop for me whenever I'm passing through.

Fun little shop. I try to visit every time we are in BV to see what new fun stuff they have. I love…read moreall of their succulents and scents.

When you walk into this store I hope you feel like you were transported to another universe because…read morethat is exactly how I felt. Local goods, plants and succulents, and rose quartz. It's one of the most beautiful minerals I've ever seen and they have a few pieces of it for sale. I was tempted but didn't pull the trigger. The gal behind the counter wasn't very talkative but was very kind when I asked some questions about the plants and pieces in the shop. Highly recommend you pop in while you're enjoying the downtown area of BV. Hopefully you're driving so you can stock up on some of their beautiful plants before you head out of town, and if your'e a local... lucky you!

Kohls, what is happening?! I've been shopping at Kohl's for years and I just walked out, uncertain…read moreI'll ever walk back in. I pulled up at 8 pm. One hour before the store closed. When I walked in, the cashier was sitting on the counter of the cash wrap in jeans and a baggy, wrinkled t-shirt, kicking her legs like she was at the park. Great first impression! I needed a new outfit for a job interview. Found a few outfits I wanted to try, all potentially to take home. I went to try them on and found the fitting rooms closed (the COVID flashback was intense!). I asked the very casual cashier why (I promise, I was polite) and she told me they now close the fitting rooms two hours before store close. I told her that they were losing my business because I don't buy clothes when I can't try them on. She shrugged, said okay and told me to have a nice night, it was clear it didn't matter to her that I was walking away from spending money there (how much are you paying her? It's too much). Call me crazy but wouldn't a clothing store want the fitting rooms open so people will, you know, buy clothes? I get it, times are rough for retail. Kohl's is apparently addressing the problem by hiring staff that don't care about hard times and instituting policies designed to turn customers away. Interesting approach but the empty parking lot tells me it isn't working. Tired of stores forgetting that satisfied customers are key to profits and instead giving the bare minimum to get the store from open to close each day (seriously, I'm not asking for special privilege, I just want to make sure the pants fit over my hips and don't sag. Good luck Kohl's, I'm going elsewhere. If I can't try clothes on I may as well order them online for half the cost, the desire to make sure clothes fit being one of the last reasons I still shop brick and mortar stores. It's sad because Kohl's has always been a favorite and now I have to drive to the next city to shop for decent clothing and even more important, decent service.

Definitely a top-tier specialty coffee shop and gift store. They serve Corvus coffee, a renowned…read morecoffee roaster out of Denver. The staff are friendly and welcoming and are knowledgeable about the coffee they sell. We tried the Iced Nitro coffee, Ice flash coffee, Golden Milk and Santo Palo latte. All the drinks were excellent. We especially liked the Nitro and Flash brewed coffee. The profile was rich, full body and balanced; very refreshing and drinkable. The Nitro was, of course, a bolder, richer flavor of the two. They were some of the best iced coffees I've tasted. The shop offers many varieties of whole bean, single origin and blended coffees from Corvus Rosters; which they will gladly grind for you. They also have lots of specialty food, body products, and gift items for sale along with a vinyl record section. For excellent coffee, friendly service and a nice shop to browse while waiting for your drinks, Howl Mercantile is awesome. They also have a few tables indoors and outside.

The aesthetic is on point and everything is carefully curated - love the selection of cards they have, as well as food items and health/beauty/random gifts. Their hours are also nice - we were looking for coffee after skiing all day and was nice they were still open at 4PM to grab a coffee. The latte as always was excellent and my friend liked her cappuccino as well!
