This store is a feast for the eyes, of exquisite and clever and unique items; with the current virus paralysis keeping us from traveling abroad, this is a great time to go wandering in the fresh air of the Commons and stop by this gem of a shop. I could not escape without buying a beautiful pair of earrings, a delicate little Zen handmade jigsaw puzzle, and a very reasonably-priced bar of artisan chocolate. Indeed, for the work and craftmanship and taste involved, everything was affordable and even more hard to resist as a result. I hadnt been there for too long, but will go again soon. You just cant look for things like this online, they make the impact in the store -- though, having said that, I plan to view their website to get prepped for the next in-person visit. I attach a picture of a wonderful owl pillow my daughter bought there not long ago.

The people in the shop are always kind and helpful. One of the ladies helped me pick out a gift for my mom, and my mom loved it! They have wonderful unique things. The goods hey range in price from not too pricey to super special occasion. Its a lot of fun to just go in and look too.

This is run by charming woman who knows everything about each piece on sale in her store. My wife and I before we had children had bought some Christmas ornaments here which we still put on our tree and dearly love. It is still the same shop and The same owner.We were offered bottled water when we arrived which was very nice for the warm day.We ended up buying some chocolates which were exceptional and I was able to get a delightful Mother’s Day gift for my wife. I highly recommend a trip to 15 steps.

Beautiful jewelry, gorgeous craft items; their buyers are spot on. This is where we do most of our Commons holiday shopping. I have purchased jewelry, Xmas tree decorations and even clothing from 15 Steps. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful, without being overbearing. They were especially kind to my teen son, who last year wanted to do holiday shopping alone. He went there and they helped him pick out several nice gifts.

Ive been in the store many times over the years, and its always a pleasure. The employees are polite, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about all the wonderful things they sell.They were very helpful in finding a specific artists print Id seen in the store a few years ago, that I fell in love with. And they did their best to retrieve what I was looking for.

Great selection of hand-spun mugs and other pottery items. Bought several beautiful mugs 50% off from the sale table they frequently display. Definitely a destination for any other avid coffee and tea drinkers. Will be going back again soon for sure!

From the first time I went into 15 Steps I have loved the pieces and the people who work there. Everything is well maintained and beautifully kept. The best part is that you can find something for yourself or as a gift at just about any price point. I love everything Ive gotten from this wonderful store.

Expertly curated gifts and jewelry at a range of prices. Jewelry is handcrafted and the shop owners have an encyclopedic knowledge of the sourcing of the metals, stones, etc.

When its time to give something truly distinctive; 15 Steps, on The Commons, Ithaca.Their ever-changing collection of goods handmade by the top artists and craftspeople in the country will let you say it with style, whatever the occasion, and whatever the budget.I buy there, and I recommend them to my own clients without reservation, hearing only glowing reports of 15 Steps selection and very personal service. A rare and wonderful place!

I had low expectations when we wandered in here as tourists. Yet I walked out with 3 purchases I love. I really like how they label things with the US state that the artists/craftpersons are from. Also they many items made here in Ithaca. Beautiful things!!!! Price points for all!!!!!!

The shop was fabulous. I loved how most of the jewelry was grouped by where the artists were from. Terri was friendly and helpful, without being pushy.
