Canoe

"Well curated store. Design objects for the house, office or your bar and some nice scented items. Great warmth service at the register. Lovely store"

"I feel conflicted about leaving a negative review for this store because it honestly is super nice with really great selections. Very organized. I mean some of the best gifts I've ever seen around Portland. They have goods from Germany, Sweden, and Japan. The owner; however, I believe his name was Sean kind of gave off this my time is more important than yours and like another reviewer said "elitist attitude". When I approached him to ask a question it definitely felt like I was wasting his time. At first I thought he might have been "hangry" because he was about to go on his lunch, but then I saw many reviewers post with similar experiences that definitely confirmed my intuition about this place. After writing this review and reading other negative ones on Yelp, I would never give my money to a place that treats people like garbage. This owner probably thinks he has the best taste in the world and even if this was true money can't buy class. Edited: Thank you for the response, but I did not bring food to this store. I believe you have the wrong person."

"Outstanding / well curated product selection x amazing customer care, you couldn't ask for anything else! Whether you're visiting or live in Portland, Canoe is definitely worth stopping by! Much gratitude and respect to the Canoe Staff, for sharing the history and personal stories about the products I purchased!"

"Do not recommend. Pros: Cute stuff inside Cons: AWFUL customer service. Elitist attitude, rude and really unhelpful. My experience was in line with all the other negative yelp reviews (these cannot be deleted or removed by businesses). Walked into the store because it looked cute and my first experience was pleasant but it was all downhill from there. Went back to purchase something and Thomas could not tell me when it would arrive or how much it would even cost. They are also behind on technology and track your credit card information on paper in a "locked drawer". When I didn't hear back from the store as my purchase is time sensitive, I called to inquire and was met with an extremely rude and unhelpful owner, Sean. I really don't recommend shopping here unless you'd like your day ruined, based on other Yelp reviews - it's better to shop online at Canoe."
