  Check out the store and Amana Canned goods.We were kinda disappointed in the volume of "made in China" items sold here but we understand that the town can only produce so much.. That said there are plenty of American manufacturers of goods that could be sold in your shop.

  I was a tad dismayed that a place based on old German tradition sold made in China souvenirs. The Amana colonies have become sort of a tourist trap indeed!

  The store is full of beautiful things for decor, children, literature, etc. The problem is that these are items I have found in any gift shop. Lots of made in China, etc. again; things I might buy in my home town but not what I was looking for here. I was disappointed. Someone else would probably be thrilled.

  If you're going to the Amana colonies, stick with Amana, as the others are pretty much empty.It was a " bucket list" trip for me, but I did enjoy it, although it wasn't what I expected. Having been to Lancaster Cty PA in the past, I expected something similar, and it wasn't. The factories weren't working (Sunday), but they are operated by local folks, not Amish/German craftsmen. Food at Ronningen's was ethic, good and reasonable. Crafts were expensive as expected. Lots of parking, but some shops were closed/for sale or didn't open until later in the day.

  Whenever we go to the Amanas I have to say this is one of our favorite stores. They have such a wide variety of items, you cannot believe it until you experience it. This community is the most excellent place to get away from the rat race of everyday life.

  We can always find hard to find kitchen items at this store. The unusual & easy to use items are fun to shop for. Always nice to explore new items & the staff are great to answer any questions. We always go there when we are in Iowa.

  You must see this shop - first impression is 'how lovely!' there is lots of stock to see and I had to restrict myself to lightweight purchases I could take back to UK on the plane - so I bought 3 cookie cutters for myself, and 2 hot mat coasters for little Xmas gifts. Spent ages in there though ! very very pretty...

  This store is very fun to walk through in the colonies. It was in my top five places we visited within the colonies. It smells fantastic in the whole store. Both floors are beautiful. The Christmas room was so festive and amazing. I could imagine this store during the wintertime. There are so many fun gift ideas here.

  I haven't been here in over 30 years but it's not what I expected. Many of the items in the shops are imports. The restaurants are fewer. Very few handcrafted items and some of those are not local. Lots of antique shops.

  My wife and I enjoyed this store. It had a little of everything for you to buy. They had a good choice of items to purchase. We enjoyed the stationery selections they had and purchased some items for our daughters. I would recommend visiting the store and I am sure you will find something there to buy.
