This has not been the case! They suit my needs when I'm on budget, just as well as when I'm looking to treat myself to something nice. The inventory has also really improved since the one time I popped in when they first opened years ago, which I think is worth mentioning. I've left very happy every time I've visited. I wish that I weren't so dang busy, so that I could enjoy this shop to its...
