Cool shop but they kept following me around. I didn’t want to jump to conclusions so I just paid for my items and left. Came back a different day and the same thing happened. I was the only POC customer both times. I really hope that’s not why I received “extra customer service” but I felt super uncomfortable and embarrassed.

So excited about Civil Alchemy! Relatively new to St. Louis, so I was so excited when I ran across this place! I’ve been to Intoxicology, which does have more of everything in-house, but Civil Alchemy has more great things, including accessories, cocktail books, etc. If I had to make a choice, I would go to Civil Alchemy!

Absolute five-star service. From out of state, I was able to call the store to select and arrange a gift and flowers to be delivered to a family member in Webster Groves. Civil Alchemy was willing to make a lovely floral arrangement, wrapped the gift with a notecard, and made the delivery flawlessly. I highly recommend this shop for their personalized service, merchandise selection (viewable on their website with pricing), and for going above and beyond to please a new customer. I will definitely shop here again! A+++++

Amazing store. Incredible selection of unique and hard to find liquor and quality bar materials to serve it in. Thats to say nothing if the clothes store. Definitely a particular style and pricey, but youre getting unique, bespoke, and boutique gifts not found elsewhere. Excellent selection of excellent things (and there is a wide variety of things to capture you interest!). Also good sampling of books from beekeeping, to floral care/arrangements, and cocktails.

Great mix of clothing, accessories, and housewares. Cool, unique stuff--great place to explore, grab a cup of coffee and order flowers!

Very unique shopping experience. Located in the heart of webster. The selection is vast and every other nook and cranny has something on a shelf. 4 stars because I wish they would carry more items for men and kids. The food side is very cool. Found a great book someone with OCD will love.

Super adorable store!! They carry a maple syrup there that is so good!

Great selection of high quality home lifestyle products. Anyone who says money cant buy happiness has not shopped here.

Great place for unique finds. The bloody Mary mix is a favorite and stable in our house!

Pretty fantastic selection of dings and dangs. Large selection of craft/artisan spirits with an interesting partner in crime which would be the boutique directly next to the drink selection.

Love it. My secret sash spot for gear

4/26/19 Update to my original 4/23/19 post:I received a message from the store owner. He was very apologetic and understood that sometimes store policies need to be flexible (re: 120 day purchase date). He invited me to come back into the store to exchange or receive store credit for my handbag. Upon entering the store he greeted me warmly and his concern for maintaining a high quality of product and good customer relations was genuine. He examined my hand bag and agreed it should not be coming apart. He gave me a store credit as I did not want to exchange it (for fear I may have the same result). I look forward to seeing their new line of bags and to giving them another chance. I gave them 3 stars (had they had more of a selection and Id been able to come home with a new purse -- Id have given them 4. Its a nice comeback from 1.When the store first opened I rushed to check out the merchandise. I had my eye on one of their leather handbags. I never dreamed my husband would spend the $120 to purchase it for me for Christmas 12/25/18. I loved it and babied it. Never setting it down on a floor surface. Never using it when it rained. Then today (4/23/19), less than four months later, I noticed the seam in the liner is completely coming apart and beginning to come apart on the other side. My husband and I took the purse with our original receipt. The clerk said she would be happy to exchange it. I pulled the same purse from the shelf and noticed the brand new one had a tiny tear in the liner. I brought it to her attention and that was when the clerk said she could not do anything for me and could not exchange the merchandise because her square wouldnt allow it because it had been more than 120 days since purchase date. I told her my husband purchased it on 12/1/18 and gave it to me on 12/25/18 and didnt she agree the merchandise should last longer than that. She agreed. I will not be back.

Friendly and helpful

I love to support local businesses, especially ones that are so beautiful! It is so well curated, and I hope there are a lot of people who shop there. For me, I really go there only to window shop, as the price point is medium to high, and its not really my style. Still love looking around though...its almost like a museum.

There store and merchandise are thoughtfully selected. The store has a great feel to it and staff were very helpful.Improved signage or information on their site about accessibility would be helpful. For those with mobility issues i recommend parking behind the store in the little lot that is on top of the hill. This gives you flat access into their main retail space (homegoods, clothes, floral). However, to access the food and beverage side you need to roll around to the front of the building.

Cool little shop to look around - Im not really sure what theyre whole idea is as they have a little bit of everything (homeware, cookware, clothes, camping supplies, liquor, tea). Everything is quite pricey, but it is generally local or from small business and high quality. The people were very friendly.

Love this store - things are usually a bit on the pricey side, but its full of high quality or locally produced items. I usually do quite a bit of gift shopping here as I love their curations.

Awesome store! Got a beautiful dress here for my rehearsal wedding dinner. Highly recommend a visit!

They have an eclectic collection of things for the kitchen that might surprise and delight you. I got two things at 40% off today.

They carry some interesting items from Japan and other countries. It is quite different from other stores in St. Louis.

Can I buy everything in here? Such a cute assortment of gifts and food!

Great spot. Awesome customer service!

Pricey but nice goods.

Very cute, but very pricey!

Cool store

Loved it!
