The storefront is very inviting and small, but honestly the perfect size. They have everything organized per artist. We took some time checking everything out before deciding on some cute coffee mugs that had a small cowboy boot stamped on the side and "yeehaw" on the bottom. Seriously so cute, and so Austin! We also bought a beautiful oil crock. I can't wait to go back and check out more pieces! Definitely a must when you have visitors in town.

It's the kind of place where you can slowly wander around and keep noticing new details in each piece. I never made it to their original location, but this new space is big and spacious, which makes it easy to take everything in. It feels open, welcoming, and thoughtfully laid out. After seeing everything, I'm definitely interested in coming back to try one of their workshops at some point. It seems like such a cool, hands-on experience.

We got to watch some advanced students make some pieces which just made me want to start classes immediately. I'll update my review when I do.

I've taken a few classes here and if you've ever been interested in stained glass or fusing (or if…read moreyou're skilled already and need to buy glass/supplies) this is the place to go! I tried a one time class (3 hours) in the winter and made a snowflake and it made me want to try more classes out and learn how to do bigger pieces- and they have a lot of class variety and dates. I did their 6 week copper foil class and then a 4 week stained lead class. Kris and Lisa are both amazing instructors! I learned so much utilizing the two different techniques, and they're so helpful and knowledgable- always making themselves available to answer any questions you have. You can also use the workshop space outside of class time if you signed up for the 4 or 6 week classes (call ahead and make sure no other classes are going on). I haven't been able to do any fusing classes yet but I hear from everyone who has taken any that they're so fun. They also do repairs and sell stained glass pieces inside- They got it all!

This studio tells you you have to go on the website to cancel your membership (which I don't understand since I paid at the studio). I did this twice but my credit card continued to get charged. BTW, the website has no customer service number to assist you. When you call the studio's number, you get a voicemail. No one calls you back. I am at the point of having to cancel my credit card and dispute the charges. This is horrible customer service. I would not join any facility that does not let you easily get out of the membership when you decide it does not work for you.

So, at the encouragement of an out of state friend, I visited my local OTF. I was worried, embarrassed, all that jazz about going into a facility where the majority of people were already fit, but quickly - and I do mean quickly - I learned that the only competition I was in was with myself. The community is supportive, and the coaching staff is awesome. In particular, major props to the head coach, Jonnie, who is really kind and enthusiastic. He makes me feel like more than just a number walking through classes, and he always helps me adjust as I am working to get my fitness level up. OTF is an intense workout, and it is not always easy to get myself motivated to go, but I am already thinking about upgrading my membership to go more often because the workout I am getting is truly stellar. Finally, I don't know if it's because enrollment is down due to the pandemic, but I have never had to get on a waiting list to join a class. I always am able to get into any class, including my ideal spot of 6:15am, and these are not even full.

A friend who's opinion I really respect recommended Antonelli's Cheese Shop for a three cream…read morecheese. I wanted to get this for my book club soiree, but did not have time to make a visit as it is a little north of downtown. Antonelli's Cheese Shop is charming and quaint. While the shop is small they have an assortment of items to sell in addition to cheese - wine, sauces, jellies, etc. I was immediately greeted upon entry into Antonelli's cheese shop. Two other customers were being helped, however, I had a store associate offer me some cheese samples. While the samples were good, I was specifically interested in the three cream cheese. They had two choices to select from. I was hoping they had more. This is a shop you need to spend some time in to leisurely evaluate the cheeses. There was also a human size dog in the shop at the time. I don't know what is about dogs, they like to lick me. Guess what...I do not like to be licked. So, I jetted out of the store.

Cheese glorious cheese. Antonelli's has such a large selection of quality cheesy cheese…read more This is a small family run, local, cheese shop, but it packs a lot inside. They have wine, jams/jelly/preserves. Chocolates, and olives. They also have premade charcuterie boards too. When I came, they were giving away free cheese everyday of the week. The first 100 people that were in line. Free cheese? Yes please. As you can imagine, there was a long line of people waiting, and with the store being small, we were sent in in small groups. Couple people come out, couple people go in. As the line shortens and you get to the counter. You're given your free cheese, and asked what type of cheese you like. I gave my favorites, soft cheese, like brie, hard cheese, like manchego I like spicy cheese like hatched chili cheese or a jalapeño cheese. So after giving some examples of cheese that I like the gentleman helping me brought out three different samples and we tried them together and loved every one of them so I chose which ones I liked out of the three and then we moved down the counter a little bit, and the gentleman brought out another selection of three cheeses, and I tried those and told him which ones I liked, and they were all phenomenal. The gentleman that helped me was very attentive. He listened. he gave examples exactly what I was asking for and it was absolutely beautiful experience. even though they were packed and crazy and had 100 people waiting outside. He just treated me like we were just one on one. He took his time with me. I thought it was such a spectacular experience very personable. I walked out with 5 different cheeses. A bar of orange chocolate with dried cherries. And a baguette. And let me tell you, I ate so good during our Texas ice storm 2026! So here's the down side. Parking. There are like 8 parking spots in front. And a couple parking in the back. But beyond the back, there is a small pay with a QR code parking. It's a bit of a struggle as far as parking goes. There is no street parking. But I'm sure when you're not dealing with 100 customers it's not as much of a struggle. There are 2 accessible parking spots out front. Had a great experience. And will come back again.

I have been in and out of therapy for years but I have never found someone quite like this gem. She has the biggest heart of anyone I know and she brings this love into every session without judgement. My fiance will often go with me to therapy also and the way that she works with us as a couple has changed who we are in relation to each other. When you go to Rebecca all I can say is: expect your mind to be blown and be open to a whole new world of connectedness.

I've always wanted to try pottery and ended up signing up for a class with a few family members…read more Pottery is hard--but I enjoyed it! It will definitely take a few lessons to get the technique under my belt (I am sure this varies by person). Emily owns the studio and teaches the lesson. There was about 10 people in my "intro to wheel throwing" class. Everything is provided in the class and it was about three hours long. Emily teaches you the techniques and you get to make as many as you can within the course period. I was able to make 4 imperfect "bowls." I suggest that you not wear anything nice because it will be messy. I got clay/mud in my shoes, on my legs, and my clothes--fortunately, it comes out fairly easily, just a warning! However, I think it was worth it. I found the process to be very therapeutic...and humbling. I plan to take more classes and hope to get better!

I have been…read morelooking into picking up a new hobby or get into more craftin' to get in touch with my creative side. The class was $42 from 10:30a to noon. It is an open space with all sorts of art supplies, tools, and just about anything your imagination can muster up. Lots of inspiration. I was hoping to make more than just one small block and have different supplies like fabric for printing. It was very therapeutic to carve my small block. The class felt a little scattered - but it was a very easy going environment, super relaxed. Our instructor was friendly and encouraged us to tap into originality without overthinking it instead of looking up patterns or inspo on our phone. I really liked that. And she offered us all coffee, freshly made. You can basically come in to do all the arts and craft your heart desires, on a donation basis. Affordable and unique way to release your artistic side without investing too much in all the supplies and then an abandoning a hobby. I'd come back with a friend and check out a different class.
