Be careful with buying jewelry here as it is over-priced and final sale. It bought a silver ring for $55 and within a month, the back of the ring had completely changed colors. I tried cleaning the ring with baking powder and boiling water, but that didnt do anything. When I took it into the store and said I had only had the ring for a month, the manager was short with me and said it was final sale and provided no options.
Found FIVE dresses that fit me as a size 10/12 and that is about 5x more than I find at vintage resale shops. Owner/buyer for store makes a point of stocking items in mid-sizes. Friendly staff, gorgeous clothes
Cool store in Downtown R.O. Saw a game Ill pick up for my classroom!
Love shopping here for unique and fun items!
This place has all your unique novelty needs. One of kind gifts and fragrances. Its an absolute joy to go in a find the perfect card or gift. While you are perusing the store for your perfect find you are served tea. Friendly staff to help while you are finding the perfect gift or trinket for yourself.
Lots of different things to choose from, great for gifts, home decorations, and a large jewelry selection as well. They have a car inside the store as a display case which is cool! Staff was exceptionally nice and based on that I look forward to my next visit.
I love all of their plants and cute items! Such a lovely and welcoming shop!
What a cool store! I will definitely be back.
Super cute place with lots of little trinkets. Jewelry is beautiful and cocktail section has some amazing pieces. Was able to get some last minute gifts here and to my surprise they complimentary gift wrapped which was the cutest wrapping. Made spending the extra money that much more worth it!
Beautiful little eclectic shop. We found many gifts to give. Check out their paper garlands! So beautiful! We will be back!
Adorably curated shop with plenty of variety and plenty to look at and enjoy
A cute mix of old and new. Lots of quality items like soaps, drink mixes, and shaving supplies.
Ive shopped frequently at Rail & Anchor and have always had the most amazing, pleasant experiences at this little shop. They stock the best products and have the friendliest staff, too. Their gift wrapping cant be matched! Ive also ordered curbside pickup during COVID-19 and it went seamlessly - great website, great service when picking up my order, I really couldnt recommend them more.
A cute little store with nick nacks, posters, toys and other assorted items for your instgram inspired home. A fun place to pop in and peruse the selection
This store is full of unique and niche items. Personally I love checking out the candles and room fragrances. They have all sorts of kitschy things and their location in Royal Oak cant be beat. Everyone working there is so friendly and eager to help! Love this place.
The best place to go to find a gift for someone who already has everything - along with a cute, witty card.
I just love this store. It is full of so many cute things and even though the store isnt very large, you can spend a lot of time here making sure to check out everything. The products they sell are unique; I guarantee you can find something even for your hard-to-shop-for friends and family. And they are always welcoming when you first walk in with a hello and a sample of freshly brewed tea to sample while you shop which is a lovely touch.
Great selection of kids toys.
Love it, they always have something new
Love the customer service here. I bought a gift for my mom and they were more than happy to gift wrap it for free and it turned out beautifully.
Friendly staff as Always...:)
This is hands-down one of the best gift/knick-knack/home decor stores Ive ever been in. Think progressively-political wares offered alongside small batch candles alongside blankets embroidered with, say, Michigan, or constellations.The sales people are also incredibly nice, every time, whether you look like a big spender or someone just browsing.If youre looking for a gift for a creative adult, or kid, in your life (including you!) make a stop here. And give yourself some time to shop - everything is laid out so intricately you may want to loop around twice to make sure youve seen everything there is to see.I know this review sounds so laudatory it seems like I work there. I dont. You couldnt pay me to write this. Rail & Anchor really is just that pleasant to spend some time in.
Always a great experience at this shop. Great for holiday and gift ideas. Super friendly and genuine staff. Definitely a go-to shop in metro Detroit. Definitely check it out!
Great store-lots of unique gifts. Staff is incredibly friendly.
This is without a doubt the most wonderful little shop in the Metro Detroit area. Very on top of pop culture, wonderful scents and however they curate or source their artists, theres a good representation of artistically crafted and unique items. They even hand out extremely tasty tea. Id buy everything in the store if I could!
I love this little gem of a store! Unique items and reasonably priced. It is a great place to go for an interesting gift. The staff is also helpful and friendly. They also wrap items is simple brown butcher paper which is always nice.
Such adorable, unique gifts for everyone!! Including yourself 🤭
Rare and unusual.great place for browsing.
Such a cute shop! Great for gift giving on any occasion. They serve warm tea and I have seriously never left empty handed. I stop here every single time Im in Royal Oak.
My favorite shop in Royal Oak! Always has cute gifts and plants.
This is such a cool place. I go in looking for gifts for others and cant help but find several items that I would want myself. Its got everything from decor, to books, to shave kits, to jewelry. They always offer tea while you shop, and the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend this place for the trendy ones in your life that can be hard to shop for - youll certainly find something for them and for yourself!
Shopping is not for me but this place has me browsing. Cool round ice makers, equally cool Detroit glasses as well as a host of other interesting nick nacks. Staff are always friendly and go out of their way offering drinks and free wrapping on all items.
Awesome shop! Everyone is very friendly. They have great finds, this is my go to place to get gifts.
This place is adorable. Whoever the buyer is for this store is amazing. A must see for all gifting needs :) I mean, they even offer you tea as you walk in and welcome everyone! Dogs allowed too!
The cutest shop you must stop in and see. Carefully curated items beautifully displayed by theme and department. Excellent customer service shows they really care about the customers too ☺
My soul can get lost in this store, my new spot to buy gifts or things for myself.
So many cool things, and the store really is as friendly and welcoming as the reviews say. Very sweet store and people!
There is a reason Rail and Anchor doesn’t have a single one star review. The creators behind the desk here are scholars in hospitality - to the tea! We love coming here on the weekends. I sell many the same items at my store but my partner and I always have the fun routine of bopping in here and then going to Scout and then Lost and Found. We always leave the store with fun knick knacks and always notice ourself saying “wow, those people really have something great in there”. Keep up the great work guys!PS I was delighted to find out Union Barber in Ferndale was a part of the Rail and Anchor franchise. That place is very cute too with good vibes and wonderful hard working individuals.
This place is great! Always my first stop for personal gifts. Everyone is super friendly and their gift wrapping is lovely.
Not sure if it was the social distancing but the store seemed really sparse with not much stock last time I was in. Ended up going to another retailer similar to them
Ive been dying to go there and check them out! I was finally able to during Christmas shopping. Loved the Earl grey tea they offered as you walked in. I could have spent a small fortune, lol. Great place to find a unique gift. Ill be back when its warmer out.
This store is an adorable addition to walking & shopping in downtown Royal Oak. This is a great place to shop for small gifts, but some can be expensive. Lots of locally produced items.Check out all their candles, beard grooming products, perfumes and other unique personal care items. The store is easy to walk through- we were offered a free small cup of cold tea as we perused :)Super friendly and attentive staff who have the perfect balance of wanting to help but also letting you pick anything up and checking it out yourself.
Great selection of items. Staff is very friendly and always offer tea when you come in! I have been here many times and they always welcome everyone with a smile. Items for sale are priced well and they are always making sure the customers are taken care of.
This is such a cute store with the best gifts/trinkets/jewelry. I make sure to stop in here anytime I need to buy a gift for someone or myself. Some items are priced a little higher than I can afford, but the quality never disappoints. They have a really cute little corner dedicated to air plants and succulents: a kind of diy mix and match with a pot and a plant. Make sure you stop in here next time you’re in the area.
A neat little shop full of knickknacks, odds-and-ends, and amazing gift ideas. Its a little pricey, depending on the product, but its hard to beat their selection and the atmosphere they create.When you show up, you are immediately greeted with warm welcomes and usually hot or cold tea. Check it out!
This is my go-to spot to find unique gifts or decor for the house.
Awsome store with a wide variety of awesomely unique gifts for everyone! The prices were a little high on some things but the unique and quality of gifts that you can purchase are worth it!
The store has a great variety of interesting gifts, books and parfums.
Absolutely love this place. Not only for myself but all my gifts. They have such a unique variety of things. The two that work there mostly are nothing but delightful and greet with a fresh cup of warm tea.
Love this store! Treasures in every nook and cranny! This store is an adventure!
Rail and Anchor is one of my favorite stores. They have a great variety of items and every time I go in there is some new trinket. They also give out tea when you are shopping which is a nice touch.
Very nice lots of variety of candles and unusual gifts.
My dog loves to visit! Of course I am too, and I love that they change the arrangement every so often.
Love this shop! I have purchased multiple plants here and they have all been healthy and in great condition. The staff seems to take great care of their plants (and the store in general :)

Great little shop, but a touch prucey
I love to shop here for gifts, they have such cute, eclectic things. I can usually get a local detroit/Michigan themed gift for out of towners
Cool items, nice walking town...
Best neighbor! Best gift shop!
Cute but over priced, the stones and gemstones are poor quality for the price.
Great staff, an eclectic assortment of new items and vintage treasures.
Cool store with lots of interesting quirky things. Rather expensive
