Part of a coffeeshop that is selling some locally made nicknacks and fashion jewelry. Not too impressed by the goods but by the looks and vibe.
We really like this cafe. My daughter and I like to come in and split a ham pastry. It is very good. The ambiance is fun. It is dog friendly as well.
You have to come visit- even if you don’t want to buy anything. Because there is a darling cafe in the back. Super cozy. I like the local art and products of the shop. It you need something that is not a mainstream brand, then come here and support local artists and this local business and again, don’t forget to also visit the cafe in the back!
Great quality products of all sorts. Lights, colognes, jewelry, chocolates, mixers, fancy alcohol and rare and unique items that would make great gifts. Some items in here would make many return customers.
If your looking to support local businesses this is a perfect place to shop. Many different artists and even a local chocolatier have items for sale here. Owners were very personable and showed passion for their shop and helping out other locals.

Discover unique local treasures and artisanal gifts in the heart of St. Petersburg.
