Capers Emporium — Local services in New Harmony

Capers Emporium feels like the center of the New Harmony universe!

The store is filled with people who know and love New Harmony- when there’s something happening, the team at Capers is happy to share. Ohh you haven’t seen the labyrinth yet? Did you know there’s actually TWO in town? They’ll tell you all about it!

Have you been to a cooking class here? We signed up for the tomato/tomatoe class on a Saturday evening. It was so much fun that we signed up for their cookie baking class the very next day! Sometimes recipes have so many ingredients and steps that it’s overwhelming. The recipes shared and made in class were fairly, dare I say, easy. Manageable ingredients, easy to follow recipe and a KNOCK OUT final product that your dinner guests will think you spent time/money/energy on! I didn’t know a tomato galette was not that difficult to make! And it turned out so beautifully! We were taught how to make a 5 minute cookie in the air fryer- who knew! The cooking classes at Capers were the highlight of my trip.

The store itself is the Mecca for gifts- i like to think of it organized into departments: kitchen gadgets a plenty, coffee/tea paraphernalia, health and wellness, kids games and entertainment, the most beautiful cards and stationery, the funniest coasters, New Harmony memorabilia, trinkets and gadgets!

If you can chat up Mary Beth, she’s the equivalent of the town mayor. Her team: Paula, Susie, Kim, Olivia are all wonderful and knowledgeable. And if they see you again, chances are they’ll remember your name. And they’ll ask if you ever got a chance to walk to labyrinth! Just such small town loveliness that you don’t get from the big city!

This place is such a gem. They have a lot going on: gift shop, bakery, glass fusion studio, cooking studio, classes, and lots of art displayed. Normally this would be a little overwhelming but the owners make it work. They had fresh baked cinnamon rolls when we visited that were the best I had ever had. The gift shop was mainly cooking utensils and kitchen items which is their specialty. The owners and staff were very friendly and accommodating. It was the kind of place I wanted to hang out in all day. Cant...

This place is absolutely fabulous !! The two ladies that own/operate it were super friendly and enjoyed chatting with my husband about pastries he likes to bake.
