My favorite store in all of Bloomington Normal. Great kitchen gadgets….great soaps….a full line of ale Creuset! What more can you ask for? Nicest staff in town!!

A better question would be what can't I recommend! This is my favorite shop for gifts, fun things and treats for me. The staff is great, Pam and Sarah are wonderful and the atmosphere is uplifting. Try the flavored oils & vinegars, chocolates and get some fun socks.

Love this store! There is always something new and fun to find! They are attached to a popcorn and candy store which also gets 5 stars in my book!

I ordered something to be delivered out of state. The owners were very responsive and helpful. The package arrived and it was damaged...most likely in transit. They were fast w their action and helpfulness. Great customer service!!

As always, a fun visit to one of my happy places, The Garlic Press. There is always something new, interesting and unique to discover here. The staff is always friendly and willing to help even fledgling cooks find what they need/want. The store had a good number of shoppers, all taking measures to combat COVID. I bought several treasures to add to my ever-growing menagerie...proud to support local! ❤ ?

There are two sides to this establishment, but I spend more time in the sweet shop, usually buying popcorn. This is the best place in town for those who are addicted to Garrett's popcorn.
