All I wanted was a bottle of my favorite soda on my birthday, the Kutztown Black Cherry, and very few places sell it; Paulus, Oak Grove, and Ashcombes. Ive been crying all day and I look like an absolute wreck, but I grabbed two bottles of soda and Kim, the cashier, complimented my outfit, which I designed and handmade myself.

I love everything about Ashcombes. I'm a gardener, so of course I love their abundant selection of beautiful, healthy plants. But I also love their cafe, where I can take my kids for dinner, ice cream, and fun shopping around the store. They have many family events and classes, so glad to have Ashcombes in our community.
