Talk of the Town

What a big, (while still being cozy), shop this is!
Crystals, candles, incense burners, tote bags, (one of which I accidentally shoplifted, lol), chocolate and other treats, they have it all! They were very gracious about my error when we squared up.
Anyway, I bought these tea lights in the Maple Pancakes scent and they are my new favorite thing in the world. I’ll be returning next weekend in the hopes they have more.
My only note of caution is that the shop is cozy enough that the aisles are narrow so be careful if you’re wielding big shopping bags.
I could easily spend an afternoon in this shop, there’s so much to see. Highly recommended!

This was the most delightful find I’ve ever come across. Ware is a town that doesn’t have much going for it these days. And forget trying to find anything organic or environmentally friendly, let alone unique and crafty. Then this store popped up on downtown Main Street. If you like ren faires, country fairs and festivals, vegan or gluten-free food options, sustainable efforts, crystal and incense, handmade jewelry and paintings, used books, locally made fudge, or anything even close to this realm of delightfully kitschy and eclectic products, then you NEED to visit this shop. It’s like 20 Fair vendors wrapped into one adorable little shop with lovely and friendly owners (and they have a disco ball)! I wish I could write more because there is just SO MUCH that they offer that I am not sharing. So, you just need to check it out, I don’t care what town you’re from - this is worth a 30 minute drive or further if you’d like a lovely road trip through the hills and past the Quabbin. All-in-all this shop truly is a Diamond located in the rough; a shining bright light in a town that could benefit from many more local businesses like this!

I want to start by saying it saddens me to read the negative reviews left here because if the people who wrote them experienced what I have, they would be singing a different tune. My experience has changed my life. I was blessed to have learned reiki from Keith and Mark. I think the reason some people think Keith is not nice or rude etc is because they don't know him and have never encountered someone like him before. They are putting him in a box with anyone else THEY PERCEIVE to be rude, mean, have poor customer service etc. This is not meant to be insulting to those who have given negative reviews. This perception is because we "live" in a society of instant gratification and we "live" in our corporeal constructed existence. When you learn how to be open and how to comprehend all of what we have come to know about the construct of what the world/reality really is, and then experience true comprehension of spirit, energy, light, and love, your thought process shifts. You see things differently. You know that what they are saying is what is real and true. You feel it. Some people are naturally open and experience this with ease while others may never experience it because they are not there yet or they are closed off to this experience. Others may not get instant results so then they immediately discard the experience. Everyone moves at a different pace and sometimes it takes time and patience, practice. When I first met Keith, I felt weird, and this was because I have never experienced anyone with his energy, it was an automatic response to reject the unknown. In order to experience Keith, you have to be able to move beyond that to start to first understand and then comprehend. He is incredible, and I hope this post allows other people to know Keith like I now do. He is awesome and there aren't enough words to describe how awesome he is. Mark on the other hand, he's as unique as they come and I say that genuinely and with a warm heart. He has gentleness and a kindness you rarely find in people today. He has a depth most people will never get to know, and that's such a profound loss on their end. Keith and Mark are the type of special that's like Christmas magic and wonder. They are the embodiment of that feeling people get when they Revere the Dalai Lama. I implore you to take this post to heart and open yourself to experienceing all they have to offer to you and I hope they change your life like they have changed mine and you experience the world and your life anew. Love and light 🙏🏻

Very nice establishment. Such a large variety of interesting quality products to choose from. No matter what your looking for, from crystals to hot sauce, they have it and more. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. What a great asset to the town. Truly a must see.

Very cool store and the Crystals and Spiritual items were cool. Unfortunately, I don't believe in that type of stuff personally due to my religious beliefs however the crystals were beautiful and the statues and drums and singing bowls were very pretty. I can easily see why people enjoy that stuff and overall the store was incredibly organized and well stocked. They also have a toy section and book section for those who are not into the spiritual stuff. Will definitely be back at some point as I live only 7 minutes away

I have found myself straying from spirituality and as Talk of The Town played on the radio I knew I needed to pull over and stop into this store for the first time. This establishment carries an energy like no other. Walking in there felt like a forcefield of safety and positivity. The two gentlemen working were abundantly kind and helpful. I had a wonderful experience shopping here and will be back for a reading. I highly recommend stopping in.

Some of the nicest people you'll ever meet with you in the crystals incense books tarot cards personal readings gifts shirts they got it all good quality good prices. ED.R

A shop with a variety of products and a pleasant environment. The staff is very friendly and informative about their products. My friend was visiting me from out of state she mentioned to me that shes looking for couple of items she has not been able to find. I put her in touch with Keith who was able to help her. She went back home happy with her special items.
I highly recommend a visit to Talk of the Town.

What a fantastic store!! Full of high quality, curated selection of crystals, precious stones, fabulously crafted jewelry, meditation tools, and much much more - sooo many wonderful things in one place. There are all- natural body care items, artisan soaps, books on healing and energy work, a natural foods section and very unique gifts of all kinds for all ages. Keith and Mark and the rest of the team do a great job with customer service, classes and sourcing all the right things to make this space special with magical, enchanting and fun energy.

Wonderful shop! Such a great selection, even for kids! You never see that in a shop like this. The staff was very friendly too. I really appreciate that my teen could walk down to the store by themselves and feel comfortable shopping there. They had a great experience. Thank you!

I stopped in recently to check out this store and I was totally amazed at the amount of things that are available there. It's a great little shop and I found exactly what I was looking for and more! I will definitely go back. Also the service was friendly and very helpful.

Magical shopping experience. Many unique and groovy items. Helpful staff

I lost a fairy village very long ago and this place made up for it all!! Such a nice place to walk around in and they have amazing stuff.

Great experience, amazing atmosphere, amazing sense of humor from the owner and the workers. Those 1stars are nothing but trolls. Thank you for this great store and I’m happy that it’s so close!

Beautiful store. Went in about a week or so ago to buy some crystals and saw the only real bloodstone I could recognize in the area. Today my partner went in and bought me crystals, after I went in and bought a spell book related to the moon and could pick out a crystal with a coupon from my last purchase. I think one of the guys recognized me because of my blue hair, and asked me how my day was in the back which was sweet. Love this store for spell bottle supplies too.

A must see! My teen son noticed this store & was curious about it, so he checked it out, then recommended I do the same. Such a unique place. Full of all sorts of lovely things, including jewelry (rings, bracelets, & more!) at reasonable prices. I got two beaded bracelets there for myself, one cost $6 the other $4. They also have #Pride jewelry/items in stock. They have knick knacks, seasonal/decorative items, gift ideas, gems, snacks, homemade soaps, greeting cards, clothing & more. Beautiful treasures, something for everyone. A very pleasant addition to the town of Ware! Stuff you won't find elsewhere. The owner is very friendly, knowledgeable about his products & welcoming to all customers. He doesn't follow you around the store, or pressure you into buying anything. He has no problem allowing customers to browse & see what's available. I noticed that prices vary, you can buy items for $5 or less & some are up to $20+. My first impression was a very positive one. I will definitely be back again soon. I would suggest stopping by if you've never visited this store. Especially if you're doing holiday shopping. The owner also informed me of a free raffle he's doing for lottery tickets (ages 18+ only). I will add that if you're planning to shop with little ones to remind them not to touch the merchandise, as there are breakable/delicate items here for sale. Another neat feature of this shop is the treasure chest, located in the window near the register. You can pay a dollar & reach inside to select a paper bag of your choice randomly & each bag contains a different gem that's yours to have. When you feel like shopping at a unique place & need a break from Walmart or the dollar stores of Ware, you should definitely try Talk of the Town. Other cool things we bought from this shop are a mini kaleidoscope (approx. $8) available in different colors, a woven bracelet, dragon pens, other jewelry. I like that there's plenty to see & lots of variety. Certainly not the same old here. You could easily spend an hour here looking at all of the neat items for sale. Looks small from the street view, but is actually spacious inside + full of wonderful goodies. Parking along the street. First floor. Handicapped accessible.

Great assortment of items! Healthy groceries and household items, homeschool items and fun things like crystals and decor!
UPDATE BELOW as of 3/23/2023:
This store has become my favorite store! The people who run it, whom I've gotten to know pretty well, are amazing, kind, very helpful, compassionate human beings. There is constantly fresh new inventory to have fun discovering new UNIQUE items either for myself or as gifts. Items like crystals, crystal grids, tarot cards, books, essential oils, candles, a whole unicorn themed section, stuffed animals, silly joke type items, cards for all occasions, incense, singing bowls, soaps, herbs, jewelry, specialty sweets/fudges, seasonal and holiday items, locally sourced items... so much more, you will have to just go see! Oh! I also homeschool and there are many fun yet educational items to choose from too! Games, puddy, STEM kits, and 3D puzzles for example. Seriously its amazing all the options in one place! And it is a LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS! #shopsmall

Also I have attended many Holy Fire Reiki Circles and took the Holy Fire Reiki 1&2 classes (will be taking Masters class soon) as well as a 6month long Reincarnation Class. All were/are wonderful and have provided facilitated opportunities to help me deepen my own connection to Spirit, my Self and my Being. Truly transformational stuff.

I have grown so much as a person since this store has come to town because of the tools available, the experiential opportunities and because of what the wonderful people running it have provided by being here. This store is totally worth the drive. I am so lucky it is so close to me!

My daughter and I actually participated in a fun random Dinosaur Dance off that they created. Such honest to goodness fun! Oh my gosh we had so much silly fun that day!

It saddens my heart and is unfortunate as a few years ago a group of people, whom had not even been to the shop, ganged up and left bad reviews after a long post was allowed to escalate in a town fb group. You all have probably heard of, seen or experienced trolls online, especially since the pandemic. In a time when businesses are coming out of the impact of covid, trying to make healthy decisions for themselves and their business during uncertain times, they were unjustly attacked to the point of not only having to worry about their safety but also these angry people looking for a target have left long lasting damage from fake reviews on multiple platforms-over someone who disagreed with store policy and tried to drag the business down because of it. I think sometimes we want/expect things to be a certain way and take it out on others when life is not meeting those expectations.

This business and these owners, which I know from many first hand experiences over the years since opening, are coming from a place of Light. Please consider this when reading negative reviews. This store is really something to check out for yourself if you are into any of the aforementioned!

10/10 Wonderful selection and flow to the shop, amazing unique teas, gifts, and lovely additions to the home.
The sweetest gentlemen running the shop, make a warm welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home after moving.

A terrific addition to the town. They have everything from crystals to handmade wooden pens and ice cream scoops! The owners are personable and knowledgeable. There are so many things in the store that you will undoubtedly find something you will love. Definitely worth a visit.

I went in today with my daughter and found out they have children's things, toys and games and books. A flute for $3. Nice little sweet store.
