How I love thee! When I need a special card or a gift for baby or friend this is where I go. The store always provides great ideas and they constantly mix it up! Staff is helpful and cheerful despite being on Hawthorne(hipster attitudeville). I go back again and again and always make sure to tell my friends about it. If you haven't been there, check it out! You'll love it too!
Pros: Unique selection of gifts, especially by local artists
Cons: Some of their clothes can be pricey

I called this florist from California and ordered flowers. I had many questions. The man who helped me was very patient, kind, and informative. He went above and beyond in making my order beautiful.
I received a call from the recipient of the flowers and she commented on how beautiful they were. She insisted that the arrangement was exceptional.
I highly recommend these very talented, kind florists. I cannot fully express my gratitude!
Pros: Very informative, patient customer service. Great feedback from recipient.

I have been heading to Mink for about a year now, and I always find something new to make my day, a new dress, jeans, a necklace. Carla is a fantastic buyer and I just love her selection, and I have the best taste out of anyone I know! ;) I have read a few of these reviews that say otherwise, pay no attention, Mink is a 5 star boutique for sure, and anyone that thinks otherwise probably just suffers from poor taste.
Pros: great personalized service
Cons: none

On the Tuesday before my Saturday wedding in Seattle, our Seattle florist canceled on us...sending me into a complete panic. THANK GOD for Alameda Floral. I called to explain the situation and she said, "...don't worry, I WANT to do this for you to make up for the way you were treated by that other, unprofessional florist"
I am so glad that I had Alameda Floral do my bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres. They were GORGEOUS and very reasonably priced. She never met me in person and only had a few emailed pictures to go from, but was able to completely capture what I envisioned and had less than a week to get it all done. I couldn't have been happier with the results! I can't tell you how much her extra effort meant to me as a bride. If I could attach a file to show the pictures of my bouquet I would. You will not be disappointed by her arrangements. Her exquisite artistry and customer service will amaze you!
Pros: exceptional customer service
Cons: none

I stumbled into this store on one of my rare shopping trips to Portland. It was very busy. The salespeople seemed to have a lot of regulars that they were helping but I wasn't ignored or overlooked in the slightest. They took the time to explain the store concept which I would never have known. They make all of the jewelry themselves, carry boots, and a local clothing designer...can't remember her name. Then they gave me champagne. I don't think I've ever felt so warmly welcomed into a store. I found a lovely vintage locket necklace that I'm sure I'll pass down to my daughter one day.
Pros: warmth of service & great designwork
Cons: parking was challenging

The review below is our first ever negative review. If you read the other reviews it is easy to see that it is extremely far-away from the other opinions. Once every few years you get a customer who has some personal issues. Unfortunately, this is one of them. This person filed a grievance with TWO local agencies and both institutions dismissed her claim very quickly.
Our return policy is posted properly on our front desk and is NO DIFFERENT than most privately owned retail businesses on NW 23rd or even in PDX. (Returns are for merchandise only, unless a product is defective.) I cannot explain why the consumer below cannot understand under any circumstance why a business like ours (and many others) cannot afford to give cash returns, we are not a big chain store. But I do know we try our best to provide "personal, local" service and live up to all the other rave reviews, magazine and newspaper articles, and features in local tour books that are EXTREMELY positive.
"Hello" is personally owned. Like most Mom and Pop stores, we work hard to make ends meet and STRIVE to provide great, personal customer service in order to compete with the chain stores only a few blocks away.
Pop in anytime. I can also provide documentation from my correspondence with the local agencies to see that her claim was deemed "unfounded".

This is a great store to find interesting trinkets. They carry a nice supply of Queen Bee bags (a bit overpriced, but those bags are expensive anyway). You can find funny and unique gift cards here, as well as other fun toys.

Here was the situation: Our office was in serious need of a morale boost. It seemed that all of my co-workers were either in a funk or had received some very bad personal news. What we needed was a party.
That's where Lippman Co came in. I went in not knowing exactly what I was looking for and the very helpful staff offered their suggestions. I left with blingy rings for co-workers, balloons and streamers at a fraction of the price of other stores, chattering teeth (c'mon, who doesn't like chattering teeth), other fun toys, and the piece de la resistance.... Pin the Tail on the Donkey. Oh yeah, you heard right. The next morning I decorated the office with all the Lippman Loot and it was a huge success. The ladies loved the bling and we had more fun than a barrel of monkeys...which I also bought. In a stuffy office filled with ennui, it was such a blast turning people around and watching them play Pin the Tail on the Donkey. It's been over a week and the game is still on the wall. Thank you Lippman Peeps!!
Pros: Hodgepodge of Happiness at a great price

wow - the pearl specialty market is amazing and i especially like their special events - it's not very often a liquor store goes out of their way to educate the community about various specialty wines and/or foods, and have events and giveaways so regularly. the service is amazing and the selection is great from a cheap night with the guys to a high-end, classy night with the girls. this is my new spot for anything and everything. i also LOVE the cooling machine for those quickie nights where guests are coming and i need to cool a wine bottle fast ! check it out, ask them questions because they know their booze and enjoy!
Pros: good selection, great service, convenient cooling machine
