Where is the Best Offbeat Store in Cincinnati, Ohio?
We come as a group from Fort Wayne for the flower show every year and have to stop in this shop just to see what new and unique items they have. We spend almost two hours in here each time we come. We always leave with purchases we are very excited about and happy with. It is not your usual gift shop but something very special. The staff is incredibly friendly and always willing to help. If you are looking for an interesting place to browse and buy unique items in, this is the place. I value every item I have purchased there. I wish we had something like this in our city.Pros + extremely interesting place to go.Cons – Not one I can think of
I have been in Something Special 8 or 10 times and have been overwhelmingly pleased with my purchases. I have purchased several gifts, mostly Vera Bradley bags (my niece loves them) and have always been satisfied with the selection as well as the help from the shop’s owner and help. She also has meet and greet with Fenton glass artist frequently. I highly recommend this establishment.Pros + Artist Signings, Easy Parking, Friendly and Helpful
I’ve been a regular customer for several years, and have always been happy with the selection and service. If the Norwood location doesn’t have an issue, they’re glad to call the Fairfield location and ship it over, or vice versa. They’re also willing to help promote local events with a window shelf for flyers. Aside from comics, it’s a great place to find current movie posters and collectibles.Pros + easy to find, good selectionCons – parking,
For the casual coffee/book shoppers that want to browse the latest bored-house-wife thrillers and pick up Harry Potter for their kids on the way out; don’t come here. This is for devout book lovers who, um, love books. It is cozy, warm, slightly musty, and completely another world. A world of books.Pros + huge selection, eclectic inventory, cozy atmeclectosphereCons – parking street only
