BODY of Santa Fe

What a great experience! From Laura greeting me at the front door and helping me get into a class ASAP, to Paola, the wonderful instructor, everything was seamless. I walked in unexpectedly and was blown away by the beautiful boutique and welcoming atmosphere. Laura even greeted me again after class, and I found out she’s the owner—which made the experience feel even more personal. I will definitely be back!

Body of Santa Fe is a masterclass in how branding can completely mask incompetence. It presents itself as a luxury wellness destination, but the reality is an overpriced, awkward, and poorly run operation that seems far more interested in aesthetics than actual care. The space feels cold and oddly unclean for a spa, the vibe is tense instead of calming, and the staff come across as dismissive, unprepared, and uninterested once they’ve taken your money. Appointments feel rushed and impersonal, with little attention to comfort, communication, or basic professionalism. Multiple interactions give the impression that no one is really in charge—scheduling is sloppy, expectations are unclear, and accountability is nonexistent. For a place that sells “healing” and “intention,” the experience feels transactional and careless. The retail side is pure markup and attitude: absurdly expensive products, minimal explanation, and a subtle sense that you’re being judged if you don’t buy into the whole curated lifestyle. Nothing about this place feels grounded, welcoming, or worth the price. Santa Fe has excellent spas and wellness spaces run by people who actually understand service. This isn’t one of them. Body of Santa Fe is all image, no substance—and a complete waste of money.

A reliable place to find a quality massage. I’ve been here a handful of times now with a few different practitioners & I’ve always left satisfied & feeling better than before. Elliot in particular has been exceptionally helpful. After going to school for massage, I’ve become a bit more picky about receiving massages & Elliot is someone I can confidently place my trust in. His knowledge of anatomy and comforting presence allow me to not just enjoy the massage, but perhaps even leave with new knowledge. I would happily return anytime! I haven’t tried the cafe but would very much like to, perhaps in a future visit to the area. I have enjoyed helping myself to the shop though! Found some very lovely crystal jewelry here!

Overall - phenomenal business. Highly recommend!!! We were visiting Santa Fe for a girls weekend and the resort we were staying at couldn’t get us in for massages at decent times so with a quick google search, grateful we found @BODY! From the initial coordination of booking appointments, to walking in for the first time, every task by each employee was performed at a high level, friendly and truly provided myself and my girlfriends with the most wonderful experience. I was extremely pleased with my prenatal massage from Sarah and my friends were equally happy with their massages as well. One of my girlfriends even attended a yoga class while we were there, she loved it! I found some great new wardrobe staples for my closet and honestly couldn’t be happier with our choice to frequent this establishment. Thank you @BODY of Santa Fe, we’ll be back!!

The massage was really nice! My masseuse really got the knots in my back and when my leg was getting restless helped me with some solutions. The massage was really calming and relaxing. The whole experience was wonderful. We went to the cafe and enjoyed some detox tea, sampler plate and some soba noodles salad. We definitely were hungry after the massage and the food there was really good!

Had a Craniosacral massage for my stress headaches and tension in my upper body and neck area.. Elliott did an amazing job! I left feeling super relaxed. The place is super cute with a cafe and nice shopping area too. The staff, manager, and owner provide excellent customer service and vibes!

I recently started going to Body for massages. I also went around 8 years ago and I think I remember soothing spa music during my massage. During my last three massages with a few different masseuses the only option was birds, water running in a creek, beach waves or nothing. What happened to the wonderful relaxing music? The massage is not cheap and I know this may not be a big deal for some, but music really helps calm some more than nature sounds. Should I bring in my own music or find another place for massages?

We found BODY of Sante Fe with a Google search while traveling a couple weeks ago. The woman at the front desk, Autumn, I believe, was very welcoming and helpful. We had a great yoga class and enjoyed the boutique very much. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Santa Fe!

I have seen Dana for deep tissue massage several times now and she's the best I've ever had in 15 years of getting regular massage. I have a lot of tight muscle issues and I need a lot of pressure and she can deliver. Highly highly recommend!!

We stopped in for a bite to eat as we were passing through Santa Fe. I had the sweet potato soup with half chick pea sandwich. Both very good and we had some of the vegan truffles - yummy!

Body of Santa Fe--putting the "cult" in Wellness Culture! Jokes aside, this place is infuriating. Apart from the zombified staff that talk to you like they are trying to put a child to sleep, their business practices are shady. My partner and I signed up for a Pilates class--both of us received a receipt for our purchase (attached mine for reference). We arrived about 5-7 minutes prior to the class starting to check in. The employee working the register couldn't find our reservations. Once she was done helping some other folx, she looked again. At this point the class already has started. Finally nearly 10 minutes in, she finds it--turns out I was waitlisted (and still charged? Who charges for a waitlist?), and my partner was, in fact, signed up as she had shown the employee. We ask for refunds. Employee refuses. Employee gets the owner. She, in all her cult-leader finery, also refuses, but tells my partner the instructor has agreed to add extra time to her session. Partner goes in. About 20 minutes later, she comes out--the instructor had no idea what was going on and did not give "extra time." Owner still refused to refund her--citing "it takes money out of the instructor's pocket." Bull. It should take money out of HER pocket, for having a flawed reservation system, and employees that don't know how to adequately check a reservation list. I'll also be watching my account like a hawk for my waitlist refund, as I received zero services. Each interaction we have had here prior to this has always given us the ick, with their faux new-age spirituality schtick and overpriced boutique. Avoid. There are better yoga, Pilates, and massage services elsewhere, without the cash grab and pretension.

Theo is the most INCREDIBLE masseuse I have EVER had, and I have had a lot of massages in my time. This man is a miracle worker. Highly recommend. His understanding of the body was unparalleled with any I've ever had. If you're in Santa Fe, please do see Theo! Worth every penny! He will work on any problem areas you have.

I enjoyed a very thorough sports massage with Christian. He is a very skilled, strong and intuitive masseur. Body's spa is serene and very comfortable with quiet, warm treatment rooms. Body offers a good range of master masseurs and masseuses. I would recommend Christian for an invigorating deep muscle massage.

My husband and I booked massages while on our recent holiday in Santa Fe. Reviews lead us to choose this spa over others in town and we were not disappointed. My husband's therapist was Bunny, who was able to customize options perfectly, and he had the best massage he has ever had! I had an equally wonderful experience with Kathy, and agree she was also the very best by far! The space was very calming and the staff were kind and helpful. My only regret was not leaving enough time to shop in their lovely boutique. A return visit is definitely at the top of our list for next time. -Greg and Lorraine Scaven

The massage was okay--not bad, but not exceptional. I've had treatments from top-tier therapists, so I have a solid basis for comparison. This one felt on par with what you'd get at a place like Massage Envy. Given the price and the hype, I was expecting something far more impressive. Bottom line: Body feels overpriced, especially in a town with so many excellent options for bodywork.

After much online "research" - spread out over the course of 3 or 4 days and leaving me vulnerable to potential, permanent brain fog - I booked 10 am appointment w/Mike....I was not disappointed! As this was my first visit to this spa, I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance that enveloped me as soon as I stepped in the door. The owner herself, Lori, greeted me, checked me in and took me to the spa section. After a short wait, Mike appeared and escorted me to his appointed space. We had a brief discourse concerning the current state of my physical body, during which he asked me specific questions regarding my needs, e.g., full body, focus on specific area(s), pressure preferences, etc. By the end of the session, my brain had been reset and my body was so much happier than when I came in! Everything about the session was amazing. I will be booking future appointments w/Mike. Since my focus was on getting a massage, I didn't pay too much attention to the boutique offerings. but will definitely do so on my next visit! Thank you Lori and Mike for making my visit such a pleasure!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. You need not be health conscious to appreciate their cafe food, but if you are, this place is a total gem. I love that theyre 100% organic & clean. Their salads and noodles are amazing! Ive not had a massage here yet, but my sister had a 10 out of 10 one. I enjoyed my first sound bath class and hope to try pilates soon. Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience! I got a Master Therapeutic Massage by Susana and she was fantastic! Would definitely return next time I visit Santa Fe.

My husband & I booked relaxation massages there on a recent trip to Santa Fe, & at the recommendation of a freind who lives there. We frequently book a massage when we travel. My experience was as expected for relaxation massage with appropriate questions when I entered, ie. light or medium pressure, any painful areas, etc. However his was HORRIBLE!! She only asked him one question: was anything bothering him-to which he replied his shoulder was a little tight from fly fishing the day before. Instead of what he booked, and paid for, he got VERY PAINFUL foot reflexology that he responded to with several "ows", a FACE message, and very little else that resembles relaxation massage! This was $400+ !! We contacted them the next day to express our dissapointment and they did not respond for 3 days. We asked for a PARTIAL refund of his fee to which they offered a refund of the $35 therapist tip. They really did not care about the customer at all! DON'T GO THERE! Ther are plenty of other places to choose from in Santa Fe, like Ojo Caliente in town.

Highly recommend Susie Fisher for all your facial needs. Best facial I've ever had. Returned for a chemical peel a month later and know the results will be amazing. Beautiful, relaxing space!

I've been visiting Body for massage and facials for a few years now. I highly recommend all their therapists, and recently saw Barbara for a facial. She took the time to assess my skincare needs and overall lifestyle, and had great recommendations for how to care for my skin well beyond the appointment. She is a great esthetician!

Horrible customer service! I let them know days before I couldn't make my appointment, and they refused to refund me the money. Don't go here unless you want to throw away money.

First time at the spa at Body and had a massage and a hydra facial and I'm thrilled to say both services were fantastic! Kelsey was my massage therapist and she had beautiful, grounded, present energy that immediately relaxed me into the massage. I requested a gentle pressure that would just allow me to melt into the table while also mentioning my lower back and neck were particularly tweaked. She managed to relax me into a state of melted bliss AND managed to release a notable amount of pain in my back and neck. Just lovely! I will be back very soon. And my facial, ( I don't remember my lovely esthetician's name though she was also a pro) was really effective. My pores were tighter, my skin was plumper and days later, I seem to still be noticing the effects. I had the stem cell add on and will definitely do that again. Also of note, the waiting room in the spa was so peaceful and relaxing with this gorgeous fountain in the floor and really soft up lighting. Just a simple, straightforward, truly soothing space that I wanted to curl up in. And one more note! The newly opened restaurant is just lovely. Great smoothies and a nice little menu on which I definitely saw some items I'd like to try next time I'm there. Ah! And I bought a super cozy organic cotton robe and some organic skincare products because they have a great retail setup as well. It's going be on regular rotation for me from now on and next on my list is a yoga class or two! Well done, Body! Not sure why it took me so long to really dig into their offerings.

One thing I usually do in a visit to a new city is get a massage. And boy did I luck out. Yesterday I scheduled an 80 minute restorative massage with Theo at BODY of Santa Fe, hoping to get some relief from back, neck and shoulder pain caused by flying and from bending over a laptop in a makeshift work station. Turns out that my expectations were far exceeded. This was a GREAT massage. Theo was attentive to what I asked him to work on, answered my many questions (like "what's the name of that tendon") and the person Theo escorted me back into the beautiful waiting area 85 minutes later actually had a great range of motion in all the right places. Consider yourself lucky if you can get in to see him. He's a terrific masseur.

After a lunch at Clafoutis (which is next door) I always pop into BODY to shop in their sustainable living boutique. What I like best is how relaxed I feel here. It took me a few visits to take in the expanse of this place. As you journey through what used to be a supermarket, you discover two beautiful yoga studio spaces, drop-in childcare, and a spa. Don't be intimidated to explore. Just circle around to the right after you enter. I recently started doing yoga at BODY and I simply adore visiting instructor Mariah Betts (class on sundays at 11). I also did a custom facial with Cassandra (I loved trying microdermabrasion and stem cells application for the first time), and a massage with Nick. Excellent! After going online for the pandemic, BODY has been staffing back up and adding in appointments and classes. I am new to Santa Fe, and dropping by BODY has been an important way for me to feel connected here. Grateful to the welcoming staff and owner Lori (I posted an awesome photo of her doing a headstand at our yoga class. She is 67 years old y'all!!)

This review is a bit overdue. The last time I was in Santa Fe I was in incredible pain. I called to book craniosacral therapy and the gentleman that answered knew just who to connect me with. I wound up seeing Hillary Kingman. She released so much tension and I was able to gain some movement at the base of my skull. I will definitely be back and hope to experience some other treatments as well. The spa was beautiful, clean and peaceful.

I had a massage with Bunny and I loved it. I enjoyed the body massage and she applied really good pressure. The spa is beautiful and very relaxing.

I just got an Udon noodle bowl at their new cafe and it's the most flavorful meal I've had in months! Perfectly-balanced blend of noodles, greens, mushrooms, carrots, sweet potatoes, & broccolini. Light peanut sauce with just the right amount of heat. Perfect top off to the vinyasa class I just took.

Phillip was highly recommended to me by one of his clients. I liked his massage, though it was different than others I had had. I told him my neck and shoulders were particularly tight and he spent a great deal of time intensely working on them. When he was done, I felt so relaxed. His style of massage is elevated from others and I went away feeling that I had been treated by a learned Professional.

Getting an appointment, we were accommodated . My body work massage was the best I have had. Kathy Sadowski was an artist, healer, and with magical hands. The spa is beautiful, peaceful and well appointed. Wish I lived closer I would be here every month! Most highly recommended.

I have been going to Body for massages regularly for nearly two years now. When I first moved to Santa Fe, I tried several massage practices before I landed on Body. Their practice is a nice balance of professional practice and spa. Not heavily on the spa end but very intentionally beautiful, clean, quiet and healing in its environment. Saskia is a talented masseuse and very attentive to client needs. I feel confident that a monthly massage at Body is excellent preventative medicine. Their price point is reasonable and fits the service and amenities offered but their posted note about expected tip percentages is a little much. But that is a whole new cultural paradigm. I just take care of the tip directly in cash with the masseuse to keep it simple and demonstrate my appreciation. I miss the 5 rhythms class that they used to have weekly but enjoy their beautiful clothing/gifts shop. They have some great brands but cater to small sizes. I highly recommend Body of Santa Fe.

I loved every moment of my 80 minute massage. We are traveling from Sedona and I'm actually leaving on Monday, but thinking about going back for another massage before we leave. She was very good and I highly recommend going there

While visiting Santa Fe for some self-care solo days I decided to book a facial. I surprised (and second-guessed) myself because I never do facials. But I am SO glad I felt the nudge and that my research led me to Body. Once there, I was fortunate to be under the care of Barbara Sanchez who was simply amazing. Not only was she skilled, but she was very intuitive and made choices that were ideal for my skin. Personally, I find facials and massages to be an exercise in vulnerability; yet, Barbara's kind spirit made me feel comfortable immediately. I received a level of care that not only refreshed my tired skin, but refreshed my weary soul. Highly recommend Barbara and Body. And you can be sure that my next trip to the desert will include time in this oasis.

This review is specifically for my massage, which was booked with Philip. I am always so pleased when I get a therapist that has been doing work for 40 years! He did ask the requisite questions (i.e, what type of pressure do you like, where is your discomfort, etc) However, I was so pleased that I followed my instinct to tell him to use his expertise to gauge what type of pressure, type of massage, etc I needed in different parts of my body. I was not disappointed. I left the massage so relaxed and restored. I know that folks may feel that someone who has done their profession for that long may be dogmatic in their service, but he was open to feedback, and extremely sensitive to my verbal and non-verbal cues. Easily one of the top 3 massages of my entire life. Highly Recommend.

I love the kids room and the boutique. My massages on both occasions were mediocre but will do for my immediate needs. Made last minute reservations and got in.

My husband and I came to Santa Fe on our honeymoon and each got 80 minute massages here. I had Saskia and he had Zachariah. They were both absolutely amazing. Each did a consultation before the massage and truly listened to the worry areas and places we needed worked on. During my massage (I'm not sure about my husbands lol), Saskia asked several times to make sure I was okay. She offered essential oils to smell throughout the massage. They were both so incredibly nice and comforting. I DEFINITELY recommend this place and hopefully come back one day!

Booked two 110 min massage pkgs. Therapist was sick so they rebooked my therapist but only gave me 80 min. Offered 20% discount only on the 80 min massage. Walked me to the Cafe inside where I paid for a smooth I didn't want and doesn't taste great. Now just waiting in the car for my husband to finish his 110 min massage. Therapeutic massage was even lighter than a Swedish massage. Relaxing but not worth the cost. Overall terrible experience and nobody cared enough to fix it to MY satisfaction.

LOL. Walked in with my wife. June (the woman behind the counter) kept making weird comments about my size (I'm somewhere in between a medium or a large). When I was looking at stuff she kept hovering over my shoulder saying things like "There's no possible way that would fit." Or "you may want to take a different size... (disbelieving tone) whatever size you are." My wife is trans and was told she was not allowed to try on a dress bc "you might be thin but there's no way it will fit over your shoulders". Before I took this trip to body I was under the impression dressing rooms exist so you can figure out for yourself what fits or not. Not so! Not so! It is June's choice based on a quick eyeball of your BMI, the phrenology of your skull, how from LA you visually appear to be, whether it is the Good Part of LA or the part of LA where people have to work for a living, you know, all of the 8 limbs of yoga. Does Body hate New Mexicans, fat women, lesbians, trans women, or all 4????? Idk but now the feeling is mutual!!!!! GAYS-- ENTER AT YOUR PERIL...

My husband and I love finding local yoga studios while traveling and this one did not disappoint! Angela's class left us feeling relaxed, limber and with our hearts full. Super cute womens clothing boutique and we were so excited to see they had a morrocan tajine restaurant in the back that we had to stop for mint tea, hummus and a tajine after class ! Highly recommend!

This is the 2nd time I've been here, and it was just as AMAZING as the first time. The space is warm and engaging (will be even better when construction done, which is NOT intrusive, btw), lots of options there. I had a very good yoga class, but the highlight was my 2nd massage with therapist Kai H. -- she's simply wonderful (listens, and is truly effective). Also new BODY addition as of a few days ago is in-house restaurant Tajin...DELICIOUS and a good hang. All staff is welcoming and super helpful. Kudos to owner!

The receptionist, when we phoned to see if we could book 2 massages was so rude, unprofessional and a terrible representative of the business. We hung up wondering what the heck we had done??! Never would go there after that!

Beautifully designed and spacious studio. Has excellent yoga instructors. The retail area is over the top with unique things inspiring a healthy and stylish lifestyle.

One of the best massages I've ever had! Very clean and peaceful. I will definitely go back next time I visit Santa Fe.

For yoga, BODY is just okay. I crave a sense of community when I choose to practice with others, but at BODY, people typically just wait silently outside for class to begin, not exchanging a word, nose in a cell phone. Studio smells a little like the food they serve in the restaurant. Some instructors don't use the Sanskrit names for the poses. And sometimes, even the "om" to open the class feels rushed. Also worth noting: Though today's instructor (new to me) never introduced himself at the start of class, he did rush past me at the end to ask, "What was your name again?" Then, on my way out, the woman at the front desk peered at me and asked, "What was your name?" I suggest a better system for tracking your students, please, one that's more streamlined and less, well, tacky. Or, instructors could just introduce themselves to new students at start of class, as they should, and that would be that.

This is the fourth or fifth time I have been here.. The energy is lovely. My local friends eat here all the time and they are not vegan. That's how good the food and the food is. Body has it all.... I have shopped in the boutique and eaten at the cafe.. The food is AMAZING!!!!!! The owner Loren and her team make walking in the door a warm and welcoming experience. Hannah, our waitress this evening knew the food and treated us like friends. Tonight I had the ginger tempeh and greens(I hope that's the right name). The sauce was out of this world! I asked for seconds. So often healthy food is not prepared with flavor. The kitchen staff has magic in their hands, because I always LOVE the flavor! And it's healthy. If you are looking for delicious food that excites your palate, warm and friendly people and a lovely boutique that is fashion forward.. Look no further. Body is your place. Don't forget dessert .. The raw vegan chocolate ganache.. Yummy!

Wonderful, thank you for this extraordinary spa. My daughter had a facial, and full body massage and was taken care of superbly. I especially love the fact your products are paraben free! Thank you~

The staff is unbelievably kind and gentle and generous. The pop-up dinner with Nath was incredible (Vietnam food). The owner is gracious and lovely. I received a facial which was excellent. I had a massage with Phillip who was outstanding!

I'm really surprised BODY has a 3.5 star rating on here. Just consistently not my experience over the past couple of decades. I have really high standards am a successful working professional with little time to waste and discerning taste and I can say I literally have had the best bodywork, excellent yoga/movement classes, super fun ecstatic dance classes here, and REALLY miss the BODY food menu - ugh the coconut lemongrass raw soup was beyond delicious! I have also consistently overspent because of the high-quality unique apparel and gift offerings in the boutique. When my children were younger, I also consistently utilized their childcare and this was what made my self-care and social time with friends possible. Lauren (the owner) has created a haven and a nurturing bubble where I have consistently been pleasantly surprised at the cyclical newness that she imbues in the facility. She has instilled an ambiance of restoration, renewal, and change in the facility itself - as without so within - like a living testimony to her own process and also indicative of the energy one experiences through regular contact with BODY's offerings. At least this is consistently what my experience has been - restored, renewed, and not only changed but up-leveled. I cannot and do not want to imagine a Santa Fe without BODY, it is truly one of the features that make Santa Fe HOME! BODY - you genuinely and wholeheartedly have earned five stars as far as I'm concerned. I just love you!

Omg! This is my favorite place in Santa Fe. The vibes are so great. Everybody there is so gracious. I go every time I am in NM. They seem so happy to see their customers and are very helpful. This is one place where customer service is not dead. I alway buy many items because they are Environmentally conscience and I bough some great bamboo clothing, great lotions I could go on and on as I am a big fan. They even shipped me some sandals that I wanted to Colorado for me. Keep it up.

Love this place! They took great care of us. Great atmosphere, great products, great smoothies

Absolutely awful. When your crying hysterically because the police are looking for your potentially dead child and the receptionist coldly tells you shes going to still charge you unless you have someone go in for you...then you know its all about money. Not about a healing environment, not about customers, purely profit. Unfortunately they lost a long time client.

I enjoyed an 80 minute massage with Christian. As another review mentioned, it was one of the best I've ever had. He relieved my aches and pains using strong massage techniques. I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Thanks again Christian. I would be a regular client if we lived closer!

I enjoyed taking classes here several years ago. Twice amidst COVID I've registered to take an online class here. I pay, receive a receipt and then....never receive a link to join, despite an email promising I will receive a link. The first time this happened, I called the studio, they apologized, and sent a link. The second time it happened I called multiple times and went straight to voicemail. I left a voicemail, sent an email, but never received a link. I was never able to take the class I registered and paid for, which was a disappointment. This place is great in person but would strongly recommend others not register for online classes. They simply don't happen.

I had a 110 minute massage at BODY with Christian. He was an excellent therapist, the best I've experienced in fact. I would highly recommend the spa and Christian in particular.

This review is of the ecstatic dances only - I've been to 4 and it's mediocre. If I want to "shake my booty", as facilitators there have invited me to do, and be touched without permission, I've found something a little better than a club. If I want conscious embodied movement in sacred space to music curated by expert DJs who can offer something other than a basic bass heavy nightclub beat, then this has definitely not been the place.

I am not an Earth mother, flower-covered, hug-giving, love-spouting rainbow person, and I tend to be uncomfortable around those who are. However, Body, while appearing to be run by such people, impressed. I was able to ignore the $100 yoga clothes hanging in the attached store, and tune out the oms of the classes taking place in the attached studio, and just enjoy the food. To be a good vegan restauranteur, you need to be creative. Body is. They don't just take traditional dishes and substitute tofu for meat and soy cheese for cheese. We ordered raw pesto-ghetti, carrot-cucumber-parsley-cabbage juice, and raw nut tuna pate. For dessert, we had a superfood truffle and a jasmine green tea truffle. All were good. The juice nearly took my head off with potency even while sipping it through a straw. Why was it brown? None of the ingredients were brown. Who cares? Not me. The pate (does it have tuna in it or what? Couldn't tell) was served with crusty bread that showcased it perfectly. The pesto-ghetti was made with zucchini shaved into strings, and was extremely flavorful. No one missed the carbs. It had a strong olive-y flavor that, even for me, was not a turnoff. I preferred the tea truffle to the superfood truffle, as the superfood truffle tasted like they had thrown everything healthy on earth into it - coconut, maybe carob, acai berries perhaps? I really couldn't tell, but it was like eating a granola bar of health. I'm sure that's what it was going for, but I preferred the smooth creaminess of the jasmine green tea! Service was somewhat confusing and very leisurely, but I hope one wouldn't expect anything else from a combination yoga-spa-daycare-boutique-fitness-clothing store-cafe.

I think Body looks great and has lots of wonderful things in it, but ... if I want to stand and look around, I don't want to be treated like a freak by the cashier because I happened to be standing by the cash register without realizing it and didn't have something in my hands to purchase or a question to ask. So even if I find something I want to buy, since I don't want to deal with that kind of nastiness I'd rather either get it elsewhere or not get it at all. This place is snob-er-ific. I'm sure with a change in staff, a lot of the reviews could skyrocket, which I'd like to see happen. Not that they care what I think, but I'd like to see this place reach more of its potential!
