Take a picture of your license plate. Luckily I listened to my Yelp friends. Regardless of what…read moreyou're buying, this is one of the first questions asked. The bathrooms live up to the hype. The friendliness of the staff exceeds any imaginable hospitality you may think of. Finally you can feel the pride and care of this place. Family owned and proud. Worth the stop.

Conveniently located before the border into the US, many liquors are clearly labeled if made in…read moreCanada. When entering and leaving, be sure to wait for the proper gates to open and close, and there is only one way to go in and out. As another reviewer said, make sure you know your license plate number too. Staff was able to tell me that if I buy enough alcohol that paperwork would be filled and I would be charged extra at the border is all, but no real limits seem to be present otherwise. I am sure if you buy a huge quantity you may need to be able to briefly explain yourself such as if you have a detailed list ready of who you want to give to and why. Staff is very helpful about which liquors have stronger flavor and which have stronger liquor. This is a basic concept that I feel has gone over many others' heads because they just want to sell me something based on some potentially correct science that may be entirely useless for my taste buds. The variety is here if you want that last minute mainstream grab or you get something here that may be harder for you to get elsewhere. There are several varieties of maple liquor. If you love sweeter tasting and a pretty looking leaf bottle and are from the US, get what I got. Sounds like I need to look for a teddy bear and use the bathroom next time by the other reviews!!

While strolling through downtown Alexandria Bay we came across this 5&10. We were hoping it would…read morehave some true 5&10 qualities in this retro kind of small town. Upon entering we found that this was not quite the case. There wasn't anything 5&10ish, not even a few penny/ super cheap candies for kids. This store is full of souvenirs that are pretty much the same as the other stores on the strip. Most of them are pretty cheesy but they had some decent options if you wanted a Christmas ornament or some cute lake house decor. There were plenty of t shirts, mugs, shot glasses, small items with a variety of peoples names printed on, etc. There were some items that didn't have Alexandria Bay or 1000 Islands plastered across which was good. I think the 5&10 name and sign is misleading but if you have time to kill and come and look you might find something you like.

I've been going here for years! Always been absolutely wonderful. The first few times, I printed…read moreoff quite a few pictures so I could show what kind of styles I liked or wanted. And the hairdresser politely helped and showed a few different things i could do. She cut and styled it exactly as it showed in the picture - maybe even better! I've been amazed ever since. Love this place and definitely recommend it.

This was one of my favorite shopping stops in Alex bay…read more I got a cute bracelet and a strawberry cream cheese muffin. The muffin was really yummy, moist and delicious. I was thinking about going back a second time before we left town to get a comfy blanket that was at our airbnb that was from good dog charles. I'm sad I never got around to it! Next time for sure!

This shop is divided into 2 areas. One is dog items, and clothing, etc. The side we bought from…read more(twice) was the right side where they sold yummy treats like truffles, chocolate muffins, candy, coffee, and a great price on bottled water compared to other stores (here 24 oz was $1.69, 16 oz $1.50). The young lady who waited on us was very sweet and wrapped up our treats very nicely. We bought treats, ate them, and returned to buy more because they were so good!

This would be a great place to go for anybody who does quilting for a hobby! They offer so many…read morefabrics, have lots of machines, and they also offer quilt kits. Very appealing! I have only just retired recently, and I do not want to build up sewing stash until I use up some of my substantive knitting & crochet stash! Isn't knitting stash overwhelming enough!? The staff at Watergirl was helpful and knowledgeable. I was looking for buttons, but they do not have a large selection of these. I'll keep looking (it's for a baby sweater that I have knitted.) They also offer classes and retreats, which I will keep an eye on, for future prospects. Prices seem to be reasonable. You can also look them up in Facebook for further, current info.

Ok - finally! I found a gorgeous new-ish local yarn shop (LYS) close to home!! Sassy Yarns has only…read morebeen in this location in Brockville since August this year (2022). It's fairly big, and with those windows in front it's also bright! With an array of yarns to choose from hanging along the walls, there is plenty of inspiration here. This shop caters to knitters, crocheters, and spinners - with fibre and needles for all your needs! Spinning wheels too!! I can't wait to start - and finish, and wear! - the socks from yarn I purchased here! Open space in the centre of the shop provides comfy seating, so that you can try out your new purchases. Check store hours before going; they are somewhat irregular.
