Shopping Choices Abound
Downtown McMinnville is unique … no chain stores or franchises. Instead, each specialty store, gallery, boutique, cafe, grocery, book store or restaurant is locally owned and managed.
Explore and wander, poke your head into doorways, climb the stairs in the historic buildings which line Third Street. Shady and cool in the summer, framed by twinkly lights in winter, and open to dining in the street summer weekends. Each stop is something new, eclectic, beautiful, quirky or delicious. Here are a few of our favorites.
Dress for comfort and style:
Cupcake Couture Tucked away behind La Bella Casa (a wonderful store!) and under the Sage Restaurant (yummy sandwiches and soups) is this women’s clothing shop featuring fashion forward and youthful tops, bottoms and dresses.
On their website (we couldn’t say it better, but a visit will tell you more!) “We believe in quality-made items that stand the test of time, and that every piece we bring into our lives should be both beautiful and functional. Our shop features hand picked items that celebrate the beauty and creativity of artisans and makers who share our commitment to sustainable and ethical practices, while also bringing a touch of artistry into your daily life.”
Mes Amies A colorful and beautiful collection of clothing, plus cards, books, jewelry and gift items you’ll love.
Enhance your home:
Nash & Nichol A beautifully curated collection of interesting items for your home arranged in a renovated historic brick building. History on the walls, and wonderful things to browse for ideas and treasures to style your home and life.
