The Shops At Woodlake Kohler — Local services in Kohler

We enjoy most of the shops at woodlake. Sometimes a bit pricey for us but usually worth the bit extra for the quality & experience. We were here for food & wine a few weeks ago. Most of the Food & Wine events were good. I typically don’t like posting negative or poor reviews (it’s super rare that we don’t like places we go), but the only f&w event that we did not like was the Bold Cycle event. We’ve never felt more unwelcomed on a Kohler property. Late start to the class, could barely hear instructor over the music (as well as lack of clear instruction - I’ve never spent more time looking around wondering what we were doing) and very unwelcoming to anyone who wasn’t already a “member”. Almost to the point where we were going to leave - they didn’t take our names or have us sign a release/waiver so the staff wouldn’t have known whether we were coming or going.

My wife and I decided no matter how good the price or how nice the items looked we weren't going to honor her with any sale. Now, we aren't against hand sanitizing, infact we do this each time we get back in the car after shopping. But to demand us and not others? This didn't happen in the bathroom remodel shop or the art shop that sells jewelry...

Worth a stroll through the shops after picking up a coffee and lunch. There are some really cute, small, specialty shops here. Pricing can get steep for some items, but there is actually a fair selection for most price ranges. The plant shop is phenomenal, and while some of the decor items may be ridiculously expensive, the plants available are fairly priced with some unique selections that I haven't seen elsewhere in tje area. If you have a green thumb I'd suggest...
