Hemp & Company
Not your standard West Coast hippy-dippy hemp shop; the top-selling item here is an Oxford shirt that any self-respecting banker could wear to work. About as mainstream as a hemp boutique could be, the approach is to attract non-hempsters with classic clothing lines, hemp soaps and cool vegan shoes.

Rogers' Chocolates

Smoking Lilly
Only a couple of people can fit in this tiny boutique at any given time - try something on and you'll be behind a curtain in the middle of the shop - but it's worth the squeeze to check out eclectic garments and accessories displaying an art school chic. Tops with insect prints and skirts displaying the Periodic Table are hot items, but there are also lots of cute handbags, socks and brooches to tempt your credit card.
