The Shoppe in Berea — Local services 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.

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...

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...
