This is a small, family owned store that specializes in handmade fair trade imports. The owner is…read morevery friendly and helpful. The first time I came I just looked around for a while and talked to the owner. He picks most of their merchandise personally and knows the artists and craftspeople. Really interesting guy! I knew that I could get a one-of-a-kind present for my sister here. I ended up coming back and getting up something for her--and for me! Some of the stuff you'd definitely have to "invest" in, but for what you're getting it's a good price. (I bought a silver ring for me $45 and incense and a burner for my sister for $35). I would come back here for Christmas to shop. (On a side note, Raleigh, the cosmopolitan town that it is, has two Tibetan stores. I much prefer this one. You can see my other review...)

Perfection. I see several posts about the cleanliness (or lack thereof) of the restroom and the doors being locked. I can't address that because I don't think I have ever used the restroom at this location.

Our family was in town for a soccer tournament, and I was on the hunt for an artisan gallery. Snce…read morethis was my first visit to Raleigh, I wanted to take home something handmade from the area. I found the Cocoon Gallery on Yelp, which far exceeded my expectations. First, the historic town of Apwx, NC, is picturesque and charming. My only regret in stopping here is that we arrived after some of the other wonderful shops had closed for the evening. We will definitely be back! The Cocoon Gallery has a terrific selection of pottery, handbags, and jewelry, and the woman who helped us was friendly and welcoming. After debating over several gorgeous and affordable pieces, I ended up purchasing a long pair of dangling earrings made of brass and sterling. They are so prettt and lightweight, I cannot wait to wear them. I highly recommend that you visit the Cocoon Gallery, whether it's a special gift you need or a small indulgence for yourself. Just make sure you allow enough time to walk the street and visit the other shops too.

Lovely place to shop for yourself or for gifts. Has so much to offer from local artists.

Cynthia arranged the class for us and the teacher Loretta was so charming and helpful in teaching us the art of making paper flowers. Highly recommend the class as well as the store. The prices are what you would expect for these items, in many cases one of a kind items.

My husband talked me out of coming home with a 2' yellow metal chicken. He was right, I don't need it. I do want it, though ;) Spotless store, friendly associates, all types of interesting things. And, if you know someone who wears Carhaart, you're set! Great selection. A lot of parking and great location off of Capital. Plus, they now offer a Neighbor reward program and you earn points on your purchases. Pet owner? They've got a great selection of food, treats, etc. Definitely worth stopping in and then becoming a regular!

The doors are locked, nobody is answering my knocking and nobody ever answers the phone. It just rings and rings. No voicemail. Tried the toll free number, call cannot be completed. This is the third or fourth time this exact scenario has happened. However, when they are actually open, I find the selection amazing and the people very pleasant and helpful. I just wish they were open when they say they are.

They also recycle and reuse TONS of stuff from businesses that have turned over their 'fixtures'. Did you always secretly wish to have a 'Dockers' display rack? Now you can! Even if you do no own a business, this place has some 'interesting' furnishings at super cheap prices. You do have to hunt around, but it's got some cool cases, giant hot dogs with chalk boards, drink coolers.. Hey, maybe you have a collection of oakley sunglasses, you can find a fixture here to display them in STYLE! For the Roadside attraction geek - this place also has an IMPRESSIVE collection of mannequins. They are eerie, because they are all nude, staring at you, while lacking various anatomy. Some of them have interesting names given by the staff - male, female, old young, it's a strange sight. They have a sister store in Greensboro that is even bigger than the Raleigh one! *Note, they also BUY fixtures but don't expect to make bank. They are also cash and carry, they don't deliver much.

Another customer with his son arrived at the same time and entered right behind me. We were greeted promptly and I let the owner/manager know that we were not together. I showed him the wooden item that I bought with me. I was not sure what the establishment exactly is and was hoping that it might have craftsman onsite to remake something that was broken. The person was kind and patient with me and recommended a waterproof glue and how to reassemble it with useful tips! Currently, I have it clamped together awaiting 24 hours and hoping for positive results. Regardless of the results, I felt the overall experience was welcoming and would return. I know a 3rd generation Woodworker but the drive is quite a distance! Definite positive experience to support local business. Thank you!

Phydeaux is now known as Feeders Pet Supply. My experience with staff today (and when it was…read morePhydeaux) has always been great. Today I went because I found out they do dog nail trim & grinds. The staff were great with my dog - and though the service is significantly overpriced, I feel they did a really good job. I did feel slightly concerned for the staff because they don't verify that dogs are vaxxed and they didn't cut her nails on a grooming table (which serves to protect the pet and staff). Knowing my dog is vaxxed and since there were no incidents with my pet (nor harm to staff), it left me feeling fairly ok and hopeful that any future visits would go ok too.
