Cinnamon Bears

Adorable items, however some of the clothes are overpriced. This isn’t just a clothing boutique however. There is an abundance of adorable toys and decorations for a nursery. My main annoyance was that I inquired about a JellyCat fuddlewuddle stuffed animal for my daughter. The women behind the register assured me it would be ordered, put my name on a list and told me I would be called when it came in. No call. I came in three weeks later to request one again, and same result. No call. It’s a shame because they have adorable items (I would have bought décor later) but if they can’t follow through with their customers then I’ll have to stick to Amazon. I have no qualms about paying a few extra dollars when it comes to «mom and pop stores», but if their customer service is lacking then I’ll save my time and money by ordering online.

Awwww. This store is adorable. Cute, curated collection of baby items and clothing. The salesmanship was a little lacking but hey, it’s baby stuff. Look around, buy a present for baby, peace out. I do like little locally owned boutiques. It’s nice to find items from independent brands and shop local! Skip the trip to Toys R Us or Babies R Us and pick up something here for the little darling in your life.

Excellent and original store! A must go if you or someone you know is expecting. Very cute girly clothes and handsome outfits for the little gentlemen. Amazing toys and great assortment of all things baby and toddler.

My sister and visited this little shop on Monday after one of her check-​ups. She is due in August but is trying to get an idea of what kinds of things she’d like to get for the baby. The store itself is darling, and I can see why my grandmothers and aunts and cousins like it so much. I apologize in advance for the ensuing rant.
The shop itself is (at least) four star, but the experience was more like a two. The woman working there (who I imagine is an owner or at the very least a manager) was on the phone the entire time we were in there, about 20 minutes, talking to someone about her sales and how they stacked up to last year. Really?
You have a pregnant woman and her sister in the store you could be talking to, selling to, doting on. You could talk to her about her registry. You could ask her if she has any questions, concerns. But instead, your customers just heard one side of a conversation about money, sales, numbers. What a customer service disaster. Maybe it was just because we weren’t regulars? But how did she know we wouldn’t become regulars? We probably didn’t look like Oaktree money, but as this will be my parents’ first grandchild, and my brother and my first foray into aunt/​uncle territory, I imagine no cost will be spared on this baby.
By the by, it’s on sleepy Main Street Edmond. I have a hard time imagining that there aren’t long spans of time when that place is completely empty of customers, just perfect for lengthy conversations about the private details of the coffers of ye old Cinnamon Bears, which I’m polite enough not to post specifics of here. I also took about ten pictures while we were in there. Not exactly a ‘secret’ that I might be some sort of reviewer. Maybe she didn’t even notice?
Honestly, it would have been less offensive if it had been a high school girl talking to her friends about the weekend; but a shopkeeper invested enough to know what sales were last year should know enough to have those conversations in private.
