"What a spot! These sorts of places are my very favorite type of business. Part art gallery, part gift shop, part cafe...The old store is so darn cute and they’ve really kept the character of the building. It’s one of those places where, even though it’s not all that large, you could really spend some time wandering as there is a lot to discover and you don’t really know what you might find. I zeroed in on lots of beautiful rock and gem specimens and beautiful artwork on the walls. They also had local honey and just lots of local goodies, which always makes me so happy. My husband and I were there for a stained glass workshop so I grabbed a hot chocolate and he got a latte, then we skedaddled on back for the fun. Both drinks were delicious, and it was extra enjoyable to have a cozy little something to sip on while we crafted. They offer a variety of classes including drawing, felting, knitting, crochet, pottery, fused glass, and print making. The stained glass class we took was a little more involved, while the week before they were doing a drop in class for Christmas ornaments that would have been fun for kids. We ended up spending about two hours on our projects, but had a great time. There were two other students who were very friendly and our instructor was knowledgeable. The price for the class was very reasonable and we would definitely take another. They would also be so fun for a girl’s day. At the café along with the mix of beverages, cookies and snacks, the soups of the day were clam chowder and tomato beef barley soup. They were out of the latter by the time we were finished so grab it while you can! One of our classmates mentioned the lemonade is particularly delicious. They even have local Ruby Jewel ice cream sandwiches. Overall, while we live a little too far for this to be a quick spot to grab a snack, easy lunch or dinner, I am jealous of the locals who have this option! Two of the owners (and they are sisters, ah so sweet!) were there and they were so friendly and nice. Again, this might be a little out of my way, but that won’t stop me from returning. If you are headed between Salem and McMinnville or Sheridan, stop by Hopewell Hub on your way for some goodies."

"Very interesting store. Lots of fun things to see and buy!"

"Loved it! It’s a very unique store I highly recommend going in and finding something that speaks to you. If it’s not Art try the Kombucha on Tap or one of the soups! Incredible, thanks Jacob you made the experience even better!"

"Wonderful place. Great atmosphere. Lovely items. The woman who owns the place is sweet to talk with and very nice. They have some beautiful pottery, beads and misc items. Also can sign up to take some pottery lessons. Definitely one of those places you want to go back to."

"It is just fabulous, loved chatting with Lizzie over an Americano and perusing the art, much of which is made by her sister. I'm really looking forward to taking some classes there."
