i have eaten here for lunch, and have also just come to shop. i absolutely love it here. items are a bit pricey, but that’s not unusual for boutiques. they sell adorable decorations, candles, blouses, jeans, shoes, soup mixes, baking mixes, etc. that is only talking about a small portion of items they have! i will absolutely be coming back. the lunch visit was delicious, i highly recommend their bisque.
