I really like this place. The Christmas shop has a lot of good stuff, I've been going for years. I would advise going on a weekday in the early day to avoid the crowds, as close to December 1st or before as possible. It gets very busy the closer to Christmas. I sadly had to go on a Sunday this year and it was still good, but felt a little picked over. I agree with the other reviewer about the many many dogs. I don't love that, as I am also allergic. I enjoy the free coffee and pastry samples provided.
