This place was amazing. I've never been anywhere else like it…read more I went a couple of weeks ago to pick up a couple of gifts, and I ended up spending about an hour in the small shop. The owners were exceptionally passionate and pleasant to be around. When picking out perfumes for my friends, I was asked to describe their personalities. The owner's (I think that both people who helped me were owners?) face lit up as he helped me find & blend the perfect perfumes. The other owner came in and beautifully wrapped the gifts with flowers that she had dried herself. I ended up unable to resist buying one for myself They blend their own perfumes and teas. Not to mention, everything was really reasonably priced. I'll definitely be going back the next time I need a gift or feel like indulging.

When I walked inside I saw it was more than a cafe. Not only do they offer drinks but also workshops, soaps and more. I ordered the Bouquet Latte and some face moisturizer.

The store is filled with herbs for really any ailments that you may have. It's a good starting point and I recommend you learn eastern medicine or have some sort of education on it prior to going so you know what to grab if shopping.

I get they were busy. But it was just depressing how clear it was they didn't want to help me, when…read moreI even called in advance to see, and they said that they *would* be able to help me figure out what I needed... but I'm glad they are here helping, as best they can, so many sick people to hopefully actually cure their diseases naturally. I got the sense that if you make an appointment with their dr Lisa, they'll be more thorough and even explain things and give dietary advice (no fried, spicy, inflammatory foods). She was out for the holidays though so I couldn't make an appointment to see her. I do think many of the herbs can be purchased elsewhere; some for cheaper, some not. Also, just a heads up - when I opened the Bravo Tea teabags they recommended that I bought, they were so tiny - it seemed like with hardly any herb in them - but measured out, it is a bit less than a full teaspoon, which is about what many herbalists recommend for most herbs.
