A long awaited visit that fell a bit flat
I’ve heard so many good things about Erika’s and have wanted to visit for years. today, I finally had the opportunity to stop in with my husband. The atmosphere was charming and cozy, though a bit tight on space. We still enjoyed browsing the store and taking it all in.
Unfortunately, once we reached the counter to order, we didn’t feel a particularly warm or welcoming energy from the staff, which took away from the overall experience.
