What People Are Saying
from Google"Took a step back in time from when NoHo was the place to be for small central MA towns. Spent a lot of time in late teens & early 20’s making the drive to the coolest small city & Thorne’s Market was always 1st on list of stops. While a lot of the stores might have changed throughout the 20+yrs since I’ve been back and they had to do fundraisers to keep it going from what a longtime employee at Cedar Chest said. So glad they are thriving again, filled with shops & offices & an arcade in lower level. It was so nice to hear all the people walking along the beautiful creeky hardwood floors & come on that stained glass. I can’t wait to go back!"
"I love going to Thorns to buy gifts. There are several shops that are perfect for gifts, as well as great treats for yourself. I also like the arcade, and the cafe. The parking garage is safe and relatively inexpensive. The first hour of parking is free and every hour after is $0.75 so you can easily park and walk around Northampton. This is a great spot to check out when you’re in the neighborhood."
"There is not a wide selection of stores, and the stores even then are just millennial run businesses. Which means overpriced knickknacks, mark ups, expensive clothing made of polyester with a tip option at the register. Wouldnt recommend, but at least theyre welcoming."
"I like this place because there are lots of great shops for a variety of things and it''s a cool building. A fun place to go in downtown Northampton."
"I come here every time I visit my sister. Even if I'm just spending the night. A lot of unique stores. There is also some great food. And convenient parking."
