The Shoppe in Berea — Attraction in Berea

This is NOT the place for anybody with mobility issues, especially if they include balance problems. I went in through the front door, and could hardly walk after going up and down the inside stairs a couple of times. The next day I went to the back entrance so I could go straight to the second floor. First there was a taller than the standard concrete step, and at least one more set of wooden steps plus several other small obstacles to navigate that posed as potential tripping hazards. When I mentioned to the owner that her business was not handicapped accessible and she answered something to effect of; well I don't own the building and it's grandfathered in anyway. Their inventory has changed drastically and it took me a long time to find a decent quality unique gift, but that can be expected with new ownership and changing demographics of their customer base. It is unfortunate that after going to The Shoppe for 45 yrs, the single thing that will keep me from every returning is the fact that entering their establishment through the back door can be a major safety hazard for some...

This business exceeded my expectations. Being greeted by a warm smile and asked for assistance was genuine. I did need assistance picking out a few things. The scarf is amazing, i’m going for a walk in the frigid weather and I feel nice and warm. A unique lamp head was found at an incredible price. Now, there could only be one way to top off an amazing experience, maybe a 9 month Golden Retreiver passing through. I didn’t just have a good shopping experience, I just genuinely had a good time in the store surrounded by positive vibes.

Come to this business, you’ll be amazed on numerous levels. I highly recommend going there as I am sure, I will be as well.

Thank...

Nice to see the Shoppe in Berea still serving up laid back cool gifts, music and wearables. The staff is very friendly, local cool cultures college kids and not at all pushy. Even the staff pooch Raisin was very laid back. I’ve been shopping here since I was in high school in the 80’s, the wall of tees is no more, nor the weird back room of strange underwear. They have moved to a cool new location down on Front but the vibe is strong here. You will find this location is still chock full of kooky kool things ! The incense wall is my favorite but from tees to tea, something different for everyone can be found if you wander here. Free parking behind the space or off...
