Amazing zero waste shop that has everything for home and personal cleaning. Natural products, glass straws, beeswax wraps, cotton bulk bags, etc. New expansion has bulk food including many local specialties (I recommend the handmade perogies) and foods that are usually hard to find without plastic packaging. Bring your own containers or bags to fill up.
