We came from Mass on a foliage trip. The lady that runs the shop had such a bubbly energetic personality attempting yo light up every patron with a smile before leaving. She accomplished that with everyone we saw during our stop. She had just baked fresh cookies that were scrumptious. She had work going on in a back area and we couldn't have cared. She was just as all the other people we came into contact with during our visit... exceptionally warm and welcoming. Can't wait to go back and try to catch some more...

Lisa is SO cute! She really is sunshine personified and such a perfect face for her store.

She bakes fresh cookies for her customers and I’m still thinking about the chocolate chip ones we had. I had to stop myself from stealing the entire tray (but I did ask if she sold the dough or the cookies… sadly no… as of now 😏😉). The retro candy section was incredible we walked away with so many!

Also I fell in love with this hedgehog toy, but left it behind because a kid deserves to grow...
