This is arguably the most flamboyant-looking shop youre bound to come across in downtown Asheville, and thats a good thing. While some of its merchandise may not appeal to all sensitivities of tourists and residents (and there is some non-kid-friendly content on sale, just to let the parents know), honestly, its the kind of place that isnt afraid to its true self show, a shop with a VERY individualistic personality which mirrors Asheville as a whole. Theres a LOT of unique themes, styles and boutique items here that you wont find at a Bed Bath & Beyond or a Pier One Imports!

WOW! Talk about variety! Absolutely great staff, incredible assortment of things. Obviously popular with tourists, prices were not inflated, very fair. Beautiful assortment of stuff. Do not miss this place.

It’s my favorite place downtown and it’s full of neat knick knacks! If you want to find something that’s unique, funny and original, this is the place to go! I’ve been buying presents from here for years! It’s the coolest store in Asheville. It’s also where I get hats for my cats! It’s great for Halloween.

A very eccentric, but entertaining, place to visit. A wide variety of things sold here. The place could be easily compared to Willy Wonkas chocolate factory- little surprises around every corner, but nothing dangerous! I hope to come back someday.

Cute, quirky store with some Asheville souvenirs and lots of other gifts. We brought our kids into the store with us, and there wasn’t too much damage for them to cause there. Grabbed some stickers and a couple of t-shirts.

This is a place you must stop if you’re in Asheville. I come through often and always have to stop in and see what they’ve got. If you’re a conservative Christian who is easily offended...this might not be the place for you....but then again, It’s Asheville, so it ought to be expected. The inventory here is always full of hilarious, thoughtful, and fun gifts.

My boyfriend and I found this place while walking the streets of downtown Asheville and were mesmerized by the wind chimes and hanging decor outside the shop. The inside was just as mesmerizing! Two floors of gifts for anyone on your shopping list. We wanted to buy the whole store but settled on a few small gifts and one large rainbow plastic chandelier. We are loving this new addition to our home and hope to add more from the store on our next Asheville trip. Definitely worth the stop.

If you live close by or are just in town visiting and looking for that perfect silly gift for yourself or a friend you have to go to The L.O.F.T. and check it out. Be careful though youll find so many amazing things you may end up spending more than planned.

A fun shop! Ive bought many cards, gifts, and trinkets here and find something new to make me smile on every trip. Be sure to check out the downstairs level for more fun things! Some of the items are a bit in the pricey side and the store sometimes gets a little crowded though

Employees were gathered together!!! No social distancing!! A super spreader store. They should be closed down. A terrible group of people. The virus is real and you are killing people by not practicing social distancing. Took pictures and will send too newspapers.

Lots of fun for the tourists & young at hearts. Even as a local its one of the few places Ill go downtown to find quirky & contemporary gifts.Perfect stuff for the random kids birthday present, stocking stuffer, or white elephant game gift; as well as the occasional self splurge on a silly item.Ive been through the store many times throughout the years & the staff has always been great.

The gentleman running the place was very approachable. He seemed to be knowledgeable when it came to the products he was selling. I enjoyed the background music he was playing. The store gave us the opportunity to mine for gems with buckets of sand that contained minerals and we sifted the aggregate in the moving water right there in the store. Overall it was a fun experience.

What a fun store! Plenty to look at and some fun items to take home if youre so inclined. Asheville is a local business-focused town, and nowhere embodies that theme more than this place. I bought a few pieces and gifts to bring back with me to remember the trip, but looked at about 20 more items that were fun/hilarious/thoughtful/pointless but had a good time looking through this store.

I visit this shop every time I’m in town. There’s new stuff all the time and also crafts from local artists. It’s a good place for gifts or if you just want to get someone something unique to Asheville. It’s located near a lot of other places to visit so it’s not out of the way. Also one of the first shops in Asheville I saw with the shop local and Black Lives Matter stickers available for sale.
