    What's not to love when you get a complimentary tea when you arrive?  Sheesh!  I used to frequent this place back in 2008-2009 when work brought me to this area frequently.

    Buying shortbread, candies--even grapes was cheaper and a fresher experience than across the bridge in Deeetroit.  Even though some of you might not be able to--steer clear of the tacky clothing section!  Please!

    Employees are quite perky and eager to help--it's just the Canadian nature!

    A regular stop when doing my bridge hopping. They have coffee crisps. What more can I say? Try one and you will be hooked too. Grab a couple of Cadbury flakes too...

    Candice is right, free coffee here too. Friendly people and plenty to browse to boot. I have seen numerous things over the years from crystal, jewelry, makeup and designer fragrances to the usual sin taxed items like cigars, cigarettes and of course liquor. I usually pick up a few items just because, hey I am cheap and tax free stuff usually appeals.

    Great for if you are bored and need evil things to take home.

    Holy Cannoli these Canucks are friendly!

    Free coffee upon entry, friendly employees who are all super adorable (some real hottie po-totties!), a HUGE liquor section, and a great selection of nominally priced tax free items. Amongst my faves were the funny polar bear shirts... if only they'd had my size.

    My only gripe is that we came pretty late at night and the parking area for regular cars was blocked off so we were confused and worried that we'd get a ticket from the police/security car near the semi truck entrance.

    I picked up some delicious milk chocolate candies (no waxy flavor like the American chocolates) and surprisingly delicious free coffee. Defo a great stop for something quick and tax free. If I'm back, I might even pick up some trendy Ray Ban wayfarers, of which they had a decent selection at a great tax-free price.
