The layout is…read moresuper neat: food and drink options are right up front, a bar sits in the middle, and there's a fantastic gift shop filled with unique items in the back. I sat at the bar, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and wonderful. They had fantastic live music from a local acoustic guitar player whose selection was absolutely perfect for relaxing with a drink. They feature a full bar, an extensive beer selection, and a few frozen cocktails. They even had a special margarita menu during my visit! I highly recommend checking out their frozen drinks, the pickle martini (or the shot version), and the French 75.

I had the best time at Asheville Bee Charmer. Some of my girls and I stopped by here after lunch on…read moremy Bach. We came here because my Yelp bestie and her husband love the sourwood honey. We were all excited to check this honey store out. In the back they have a very cool tasting table. There are over ten different kinds of honey to try. I loved that you could taste test things before making purchases. It was awesome to see how different each one tasted. My group and I had a blast here. They had everything from bottles of honey, honey sticks, bee pollen, honey supplies, and more. I ended up buying a beautiful bottle of the sourwood and a few honey sticks in fireweed and meadowfoam. The honey is both local and from other states too! The staff is beyond friendly. I highly recommend making a stop to check this charming shop out.

We found the place while globetrotting through Ashville, and I am a lover of teas with honey. Unfortunately no New Zealand based honey products.

We stopped at the gatehouse after exiting the Biltmore estate. It was during Christmas time and the…read moreseasonal displays were very nice. The shop is filled with home goods, ornaments and Biltmore related items but the whole atmosphere came off as quite pretentious to me and the prices reflected that. I did find an adorable little plushie gargoyle that I thought my niece would love but based on my overall experience, I decided against spending any of my hard-earned money here. The staff was technically welcoming but not in a warm or genuine way. I felt like I was being more closely observed than assisted and the older, stiffer employees created an uncomfortable environment. After looking around upstairs, I came down and started perusing the shelves but as soon as I looked up from what I was doing and a staff member saw me she said " your husband is in the restroom". I don't know if that comes off as weird in writing as it felt in person. I didn't ask where my husband was and I wasn't looking for him. I don't know if it was because he was the only non-white person I saw while we were there, but it didn't give the feeling that they were trying to be helpful. The shop is somewhat visually appealing but overpriced overall and definitely lacking the warmth that would make it a place I would ever return to.

The prices are on point, if not on the more affordable side. They had crystals for $0.50 - $1.00 (not all of them obviously) but the majority of the more "expensive" ones were like $3-6. We will definitely be back!
