Farmhouse Cortale

"Owner was rude and unwilling to make a simple exchange. She said she was happy to make exceptions but then refused. Never even bothered to acknowledge me since I walked in with a store bag. A simple exchange for an out of town friend."

"It's always a pleasure walking into Farmhouse Cortale. It's almost zen-like in this fresh and peaceful environment. It feels comfortable to browse and shop without being followed around. I recommend Farmhouse Cortale"

"This is the best store! It's bursting at the seams with beautiful pieces to add to my space. Cookbooks, furniture, tchotchkes, this place has everything you could want. Plus the owner is so sweet and helpful, and actually refinishes much of the furniture herself, really impressive! This place is truly a gem. Cannot recommend enough!"

"I am new to Dripping Springs and wish I had a better experience here, but I did not on 2 separate occasions. My first visit to this store was with my sister-in-law and husband's Aunt from the New England area. We came in to have a look around and see what the shop was about. Upon entrance we weren't greeted and she seemed not interested in helping us out. Instead the owner was more interested in taking pictures for her social media. This past weekend I had my mother and sisters in town and wanted to show them around the cute shops here. My sister walked over to the Farm Cortale and wanted to check it out. I was hesitant since my first visit wasn't so great, but thought I'd give it the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, I was wrong the owner was still as rude if not worse this time around. Not once did she greet us or even ask if we needed assistance, no customer service. She followed my family around with her arms crossed staring at us disapprovingly. My husband sat his coffee cup down to look at a recipe book he was interested in. She then told him to remove his cup, to which he asked "what would you like me to do with it?". Then she said "oh great now you're taking a picture of a recipe really?". At this point I said "let's just leave" and felt very uncomfortable since she had asked my husband "are you with them?" She made me and my family feel judged and unwelcome racially. I also felt as though she disapproved that I had a baby with me in her shop. I will not be visiting this establishment again or recommending it. I will be sure to let everyone I know about the owners behavior. After this encounter I went to the shops next this place and had a way better experience shopping with the very nice store owners from Mercer St. Art & Boutique, Panache, Vintage Soul, Revel Wilde and Juniper Tree Market."

"If I could put negative stars for this establishment I would. I have never been thus treated in my entire life by a stranger while shopping as a potential customer. The clearly racist and judgmental woman following us around with her arms crossed even went as far as to ask my brother in law (who has blonde hair and blue eyes) “are you with them??”. There’s nice items in this shop but I cannot and will not be shopping or encouraging anyone to support such offensive environment."
