The space is well lit and spacious, so it's easy to move around and peruse the offerings. The yarn selection trends toward novelty/specialty yarns, and the prices tend to be high. Aside from Mission Falls and Manos (which are both present at average prices), there isn't a lot of stash-building or "basic" yarn.
Service-wise, the staff are knowledgeable but not especially friendly. This is not a "warm, fuzzy" LYS. I've been here many times and have never felt welcome to just sit around and knit, much less interact with the staff beyond ringing up a transaction at the register.
If you know what you're looking for and just want to get in and get out with your purchases, this place is just fine. But if you want to ask questions and perhaps even chat a bit, another shop may be more your style.
Note that the hours listed on KnitMap for this shop are incorrect. The store is closed on Sunday and Monday and open only until 3 p.m. on Saturday.

This store is now closed. They have an online presence but they put out a STOLEN pattern (for a toy rabbit made from a square) and claimed ownership of it. No wonder they had to close!
