Great shops with some amazing finds in Northampton. Cafes, toy stores, local artisans... Check it out there is bound to be something you like.

Love it and very with the face mask. We need to stay healthy

I was hoping to take this opportunity to address the owners question about why I first rated the establishment the way I did. First off, this place has a fun and really eclectic vibe to it. I can see why so many folks love it. My original rating was simply because I didnt find places within of interest to me. Please dont take what I have to say personally. Im just an average Joe who is a flea and thrift store junkie. Point 👉 me in the direction of a Goodwill, comic book store or rummage sale and Im eternally grateful. That said, Thornes is an awesome establishment, with great stores and very very clean.

I am so happy we stumbled upon this place! It’s got some amazing little shops in a wicked cool atmosphere. Love the organic/natural grocery downstairs!!

Many unique shops from flowers to clothes and chocolate to name a few. We love Paul n Elizabeth restaurant. Especially the fried tofu, shrimp tempura, and fried ravioli.

A fun eclectic shopping center with a variety of stores. From sweets, clothes, home decor, and gifts, youll find it all here!Theres also a place to get a massage, and a few places to get a snack or bite to eat.A staple of downtown Northampton that you dont want to miss!

Went to the cute little Chocolate shop inside, that also sells vegan chocolate and I was not disappointed! Amazing chocolate, I paid about $22 for 10 pieces of chocolate. Pricey you say, yes I know but when your vegan and want to splurge on your birthday I think its allowed! Besides Ive made my own vegan chocolate at home and its a process! Delicious, but still a process! Its called Heavenly Chocolate.

Always a nice place to find a place to eat. Excellent real coffee shop in the building. Treats and unique shops not found anyplace else

Out of towners, who stopped here on a whim. It surprised us how it had 4 levels of shopping. The stores were very cute and had a local vibe. I wish we had more time to explore.

Cute shops and boutiques, other shops and with a great restaurant, Paul & Elizabeths. A place to visit when in Northampton.

Used to have a broader selection of options. These types of places would be best served to have a curator proactively looking for businesses to fill the retail spaces. This one clearly doesnt.

An old building with unique gifts from various stores. Hardwood floors and lots of charm throughout Definitely worth a visit when in North Hampton. There is a public restroom in this building.

Acme surplus!!

The portions of the food were good. The service and people were really nice and helpful but I found the food very generic. Its an affordable restaurant with portions which would fill you but cant expect alot of variety or taste. Silver lining there were alot of regular customers at the restaurant so looks like a quick to go for people. The ambience of the place was more like a fast food joint so wouldnt at all suggest a dine-in. Delivery and takeout friendly place.

Great unique shopping center. Tons of really cool shops all indoors and fun to visit

Gone downhill from previous visits.More empty shops and those that are open seems to be trending to a different interest that my wife and I have. Not worry, there is something here of interest to many, just not me.

Beautiful gifts. Pricey. Nice service.

Its a small mall in a small town still hanging on after the last year, and Im glad. A few small shops, candy store, grocery store, coffee shop, and across the coffee shop is a chocolate shop. Items that peak your interest, and curiosity not to mention your taste buds.

Lots off different shops always something cool to be found there

Great bunch of shops! Love the organic market as well

Nice small shops. Great place to spend an afternoon in.

So much fun. There are many unique small businesses within the Thornes Marketplace. Definitely a great starting point for a visit to Northampton. My favorite location was the Glimpse of Tibet on the second floor.

So many cool fun things

Fun location, parking was very convenient.

Love this little mall, all the shops are nice and offer something for everyone. Good service and theres always something worth buying

A nice place to shop local

Decent. Spacey. Expensive.

I enjoy the variety of selections at Thornes. Found just what I wanted at the book store.

Very unusual shopping. Far off the beaten path. I especially love the blue Marble. All the shops are beautiful as well as the people who run them. Public relations are too notch. It does not get any better.🤩❤

Like a mall made by hippies and hipsters, For complete lack of a better description. Absolutely chock full of interesting small stores and boutiques - including the legendary Harels ice cream - this is the perfect spot to begin any Northampton experience. In many ways its almost like a microcosm of the town itself. In any case, its by far my favorite place to just walk and browse, particularly in the winter months when its too cold to do that outside. Just be prepared to pay a pretty penny for parking - although helpfully there is a parking garage and you dont necessarily have to track down street parking.

Favorite mall filled with small businesses. There’s always something new and exciting to be found

Cool places, even cooler stuff

How can you not love Thornes?! They have the best little shops in a great building. So many shopping choices along with candy, ice cream, and Whole Foods. There’s always something to find at Thornes and it’s always a great experience.

Thornes Marketplace is one of my favorite places to shop! It has unique boutiques, interesting shops with lots of fun gifts. Salespeople are kind and knowledgeable. You can shop, grab a quick cup of coffee as well as dinner at Cornucopia! I highly recommend Thorns

How does this place not have more people in it?

Loved the friendly attitude of the staff

Love the shops there. Absolutely thrilled with Cornucopia!

Excellent hall for parties.

Great place for shopping

I was really impressed with this place! Covid precautions are impeccable. So many cute, unique stores I could have spent a lot longer than I did exploring. Bookshop, childrens stores, clothing stores, art gallery, housewares, trinkets, general store, and candy. We visited the area for a short time from Plymouth county and this was a perfect one-stop indoor shop!

Nice shopping mall with a variety of different items ranging from grocery store to school supplies, home decorating and much more

Good support of small business.

I love the shops here! They are so unique and eclectic!

I love coming here because even if stores are a bit expensive the quality is worth it

Good place to find a gift

Very nice place

My favorite

A pillar of Northampton this is at the center of downtown and a must stop for any trip to Northampton. Everything is so special about this building from the creaking of the original wooden floors to the amazing collective of unique stores. Their window display are always absolutely top notch and during the holidays the decorations inside are incredible. Perfect place to start your day with Share Coffee, lunch at Paul & Elizabeths, or drinks and good food at ConVino.

Birthday treats were so much fun.

Thornes is the best! Awesome food available and a bunch of artisan shops for those who like to shop local. Probably the best place to go around Christmas for gifts that are special and out of the ordinary. No other mall quite like it in the area! Must visit if in the Northampton area and walking around!

Ive been going to Thorns on and off for over 25 years and I always love the vibe. The old standards never let you down. Books, chocolates, clothing, food, hot sauce just to name a few vendors focuses you will find. If your in the area or just passing thru . . . do yourself a favor and stop on in.

Everything from books to clothes to five-star food, office supplies, vintage finds, bargain goods, children’s gear, jewelry, ice cream, natural groceries, gifts, decor and more, Thornes Marketplace has a little bit of everything you were looking for, and a bunch of stuff you never knew existed. The coolest little mall-that’s-not-a-mall ever.

Excellent place, dog friendly

I just love Downtown Northampton its just amazing and wonderful. I remember when Thornes was a book store it was the best. They have so many little unique shops. If you have never been there you have to go they have a great public garage reasonably priced.

Great collection of small businesses with original merchandise.

I am only familiar with Acme Supply which is a bargain place with many unusual and fun items. A little bit of everything here. Many more delightful looking shops which I was interested in exploring except for the stamina of my companion. There are stairs; not sure if there is in fact an elevator

Doing the best they can during these times!

Place is a cornucopia of great stuff! Always enjoy spending time at Thornes!

A great selection/variety of shops from clothing to books to homegoods

I love Thornes Market but todays visit was bittersweet. Worried about my town. Wondering how many local stores wont be able to weather the pandemic.

Fun place.

The squeaky floors keep me rooted in this otherwise obtuse world

Always a welcoming shopping environment

We enjoyed the Marketplaces unusual cafe and had Matcha and Golden milk--the most amazing selections when you dont feel like coffee. Both were lattes, well-made and delicious. Where can you find golden milk! We will be back.Since we were in the Marketplace in Northampton, we discovered the Olive Oil vendor across from the cafe, and decided to do a tasting. We were treated with such hospitality, that what started as a whim, became a purchase.We actually loved the tastings of both the oils and balsamic vinegars, and decided to take advantage of the special so we got a bargain.I opted for the fig balsamic--my fav, and for the tasting, was delighted. It isnt as sweet as the ones Ive had before, but it is acceptable. I do think I should try some others.We really enjoyed the shopping, tasting, and European feel of the whole Marketplace environment. It is a treat.

I was born in Northampton, but Ive traveled all my life. This store for the past 20 years (Im 24) has been the best store ever that Ive ever visited. The vibe, the workers, I remembered I went in during 2019 and we some candy, we were hyped, having a food time, I was visiting fam, and the fact the workers always talked to us as people, not customers, sharing jokes is a 120 steps up from NYC where Im live now. Ive always loved Thornes. I hope it stays open forever!

Very nice place. A little on the expensive side. Very up scale. Not for the average shopper in my opinion. Its beautiful, clean, different and nice to visit. My favorite store is the one discount store. Acme surplus. Every odd and end from the kitchen to children items, and everything in between. Also some strange items you wouldnt found anywhere else.

Very cool shopping place.Little shops on multiple floors with an elevator.

Thornes Marketplace has been a favorite destination of mine since I attended UMass many years ago. Im happy to report that its vibrancy has more than stood the test of time. There are businesses that appeal to a wide variety of tastes and interests and all of them offer a very upbeat vibe. There are many reasons to make the journey to Northampton. Thornes Marketplace is definitely one of the biggies.

The stores were phenomenal as always. Today I was disappointed in Herrels Ice cream. The not only gave me the wrong kind of ice cream, I ordered a cone and they put in a cup.

All of the shoppes are taking Covid very seriously. An absolutely fantastic experience.

An old building converted into three floors of very unique stores, with a great coffee shop with sandwiches and homemade baked goods. Also, a fantastic vegan restaurant (with a large fish entree selection) is located here. I love grabbing a cup of coffee and a snack and just chill out at Thornes...HIGHLY recommended !!!

This place is impressive. There is truly something here for everyone. If your ever in the Northampton area you need to pop in here.

Thornes Marketplace is a one stop shop. The variety of stores can provide you with groceries, clothing (both men’s and women’s), home goods, gifts for any age, books, chocolates, jewelry, and even a seated massage upstairs. If you get hungry there’s a restaurant, there’s ice cream and a coffee shop with light lunch fare and snacks. That being said, there are a variety of stores and restaurants both similar and wildly unique that you may miss out on if you don’t explore the rest of downtown Northampton.

This is a nice place to explore. Youll find some interesting shops, and some very good food. In the basement there is small but surprising classy grocery store.They sell chocolates, and some baked goods. They have a fantastic jewelry store. Theres a florist here as well. Basically this is a good place to go if youre in hot water with your wife, and you need to buy some peace offerings.

This has always been a Favorite; just love every bit of Thornes; and so will you!

There are some great shops in here. And restaurants, very easy parking (90%) covered. And its cheep to park there too.

It was a different, but great reopening experience, staff was awesome and I was very happy to get back to my favorite store!!

Went school shopping

Thornes is an awesome multi-story building with tons of cool shops. If you’re in Northampton you should definitely check it out. You can access Thrones from the street or the third floor of the parking garage. It’s a unique building / experience that you won’t find anywhere else!

Whats not to love about locally-owned businesses in a convenient location with (typically) lots of parking? Noteworthy has the best card selection in town, theres chocolates and coffee and snacks and a vegetarian restaurant and ice cream! And a whole lot more!

A confusing collection of shops where the positive is a wide selection of local shops (vs chain store outlets)are available..The negative is unless you have been here before its hard to find where the store is located in the complex..or even how to get into the complex to begin with. It would be helpful to have better signage here.

I love Thornes and the cool guy in front of the store with his guitar

Very clean awesome customer service!!

Lots to see, do and eat!

Its usually a fairly reasonable & friendly places once these social distancing & mask measures finally end

This is a great use of an old downtown building. A town-center mall packed with some of Northamptons best shops - theres even a gallery/performance space. Theres a very good coffee counter/cafe on the main floor, and a chocolatier across the way. Clothing shops, a first-rate kitchen supply store, a bargain basement store in, you know - the basement. Cornucopia whole foods grocery on the same floor is great for everything one could want for healthy/vegetarian/vegan goods, essential oils, health & beauty, supplements, herbs, flours, a dairy and dairy-free cooler, bulk goods, produce. Theres even an abundance of irresistible snacks and chocolates. This is an exceptional, locally-owned alternative to Whole Foods. Down yet another level is a wine bar. Theres also an excellent bookstore, a funky gallery, Harrells ice cream (!!), Paul & Elizabeths fine vegetarian dining, and a candy store (Captain Candy) featuring things boomers havent seen since they were kids as well as super sour candies for more contemporary tastes. Theres an elevator to make navigating the 4 floors easier for wheelchairs and strollers and metered parking behind the building. And the restrooms, once pretty dreadful, are now quite posh.

Eclectic shops selling many handmade and unique items... interesting maze of an old building. Right in the middle of downtown. Good restaurants too!

You can find anything you want in this shopping center that posseses charm and a great location in downtown Northampton. Food, clothes, shoes, books, wholesome food, and an awesome 5 n dime type store called ACME.

Thornes market is basically for me the center of the center of Northampton. If you park in the garage behind it its the best spot to walk around town and be sure to park on the 3rd floor so you can easily enter Thornes with the sky path there! Coffee shop in the center has my favorite espresso of all time

The Halal meat was delicious

Spent a week at UMASS in 2019 (from Australia) and had the pleasure of visiting Thornes-An absolute gem!

Nice place. Love Cedar Chest.

Ate at Paul and Elizabeths as always was excellent. Wait staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Thornes market always offers new and unusual finds for me. Great place to wander around any day of the week.

Was back in town visiting and was so glad to see that the Marketplace is still open. I adore Cedar Chest and all the other beautiful stores inside. This place is truly a hidden jem.

Closes early but theres a huge diversity of shops ranging from organic market to unique gift shops. An essential place to visit while in Northampton

Interesting collection of stores. Love acme and herrells

It was absolutely beautiful! Loved all the different shops. Wished I had more time to look around

Nice atmosphere. People were friendly. Allittle pricey but this is the Christmas season and they do have some nice things for just about everyone.

This mini Mall of an assortment of eclectic little stores goes back to when I visited Northampton in the 1970s. It is in a multi story building on Main Street and has numerous store fronts but the original buildings ceiling, (they have 4 walls and separate entrances but are open on the top a few feet short of walls top and all share the common buildings ceiling. The building just went through a $750,000.00 face lift this year. New store fronts, highly polished dark stained wood floors and new lighting as well as some new stores to reach 100% occupancy.
