At the top of my list of favorite shopping spots. Wonderful and unique stuff. Prices are awesome for what you're getting and they carry stuff no one else here does. Furniture, clothing, decorator items, antiques, and they serve free espresso and lattes! What's not to love? They donate a lot of money to the Semper Fi Marine Corps charity. That makes them even more terrific!
