"The folks here were insightful and patient as I browsed for nearly an hour, excited to make my first piece of jewelry. They have so many gorgeous beads, all of which seem to be priced fairly. The fun, sarcastic, and kind personalities of staff are the cherry on top of this bead shop experience."

"I’ve been here only 2 times and felt very uncomfortable each time. I was followed around constantly, despite letting them know I was browsing and trying to be intentional about what I was buying. Followed for over 10 minutes each time despite white folks coming and not being followed."

"I was followed around this tiny shop by a woman who insisted that she must watch or follow me to ensure that I find what I need. I finally handed her a basket that had several items in it and I left. People within the BIPOC community know this behavior very well. It's disgusting. It's prejudice. All of the positive reviews are a reflection of how the wife and husband treat white people who shop there or visit vs how they treat the rest of us. It's passive aggressive. I am capable of buying every item in the store, but I would never spend a dollar there after my experience. I have a recommendation for the owners, step into 2023 (almost 2024) and treat everyone that walks in those doors with the same respect that your white customers rave about. Learn that color, sexual orientation, gender identity are social constructs. We are all humans with cultures, and heritage that you sell you in your store in the form of products, but on the other side of those products are real people."

"Searched online. Was exited to go- drive over 90 min to get there & the woman seemed like she didn’t want us there- barked her rules at us. Overall not the experience I would expect from someone wanting people to spend money on their product. 0/5 if I could. Rude lady. If you’re looking for beads I would NOT recommend this store."
