Canoe

I feel conflicted about leaving a negative review for this store because it honestly is super nice with really great selections. Very organized. I mean some of the best gifts I've ever seen around Portland. They have goods from Germany, Sweden, and Japan. The owner; however, I believe his name was Sean kind of gave off this my time is more important than yours and like another reviewer said elitist attitude. When I approached him to ask a question it definitely felt like I was wasting his time. At first I thought he might have been hangry because he was about to go on his lunch, but then I saw many reviewers post with similar experiences that definitely confirmed my intuition about this place. After writing this review and reading other negative ones on Yelp, I would never give my money to a place that treats people like garbage. This owner probably thinks he has the best taste in the world and even if this was true money can't buy class. Edited: Thank you for the response, but I did not bring food to this store. I believe you have the wrong person.

Staff is super helpful and really know the products they sell. If you’re looking for a special unique gift or good, Canoe is definitely the place to go. I’ve bought several jewelry items from them and I’m happy with all my purchases.

What a nice place to visit! Very organized. They sales stuff mostly from Japan and Italy. 🤣 well obviously it’s gonna be a little bit pricy but why don’t just stop by and take a look? It’s nice place and you can always find something unique stuff to give your friends as a gift.
