I have placed several orders from Donna and it was always a hassle getting the products I paid for…read more She would outright lie about having mailed the order and then weeks later would say "Oh I'm sending it today." There was always an excuse! My last (and I mean last ever) order was not filled and she refuses to refund the money. She is a scammer and a thief in my opinion so beware of doing business with this place

This place would be my dream business. This is like a candy store for anyone who is into…read morealternative health, herbs, teas, spices and natural products. It's also a place to find some really unique gifts for loved ones. Donna, the owner and herbalist, is very approachable and runs a school where people in the community can come and learn various skills from soap making to attaining an herbalist's certificate right at this location. I'm so impressed with the array of ingredients that she carries [some that are very difficult to find] and the quality of the finished products that are available to purchase. The prices are very reasonable for everything. I love the fact that you can go and smell, touch, see and feel the plethora of wonderful products and bulk herbs available here! Much better, in my opinion, than blindly buying it online somewhere else. It smells amazing in here and now I know where to get my ingredients for my tea addiction at extremely reasonable prices. I just can't say enough about how amazing this resource is for locals and the entire community! Everyone is very welcoming, knowledgeable and generous with their time. If you are in the area, this is a hidden gem that you cannot miss!

love Love LOVE these decadent and rich brownies! They have so many delicious flavors and fun ways…read moreto add logos, photos, etc. I love the salted caramel and the coconut. I placed a large order of individual brownies with a special message on them for a cooperate event. They were a big hit! Ordering, payment, and delivery were all easy and quick. Pilar is the ultimate professional. She doesn't miss!

Well I have to start by saying who ever decided on their "look" did a great job! The shop is small…read morebut modern and their branding and marketing is fantastic, their look is so cool it made me want to eat what ever they were making! I kinda think a brownie shop is a hard sell for me...I make brownies at home...from a box... and they are delicious....so to go pay top dollar for this seems kinda crazy to me. But I still jumped at the chance to try them, I got a " white chocolate walnut" and was confused what was white choc? It looked like a regular choc brownie with walnuts, and it tasted like a regular brownie with walnuts. It was good, but not like spectacular blow me away good, maybe expecting too much? I'll have to try something else next time. They do really cool brownie rolls that are like sushi rolls, they are adorable and would be a great gift but be prepared to spend some money

Found this business via Local Flavor or probably wouldn't have known about it…read more Cute little shop in the heart of Edgewood, owned by a mother and daughter duo. They were both so sweet & helpful! They have hundreds of designs to choose from or they can pretty much create just about anything you want. They also have tons of different shapes and sizes of boards from which to choose. The daughter explained the whole process to us and let us roll. You start by staining the board then blow drying it so you can get to the next step. That would be applying the sticker stencil then painting with a good 3 or so coats. Let that baby dry then voila! Masterpiece done. I highly recommend this business! Support locals, have a blast (ummm BYOB!!), and create a gift (or keep for yourself )

I had purchased a Groupon for this crafting session- and had to email back and forth to schedule…read moreand redeem the groupons. There was a break in communication over several days- so I reached out again to make sure we were booked and it was as though I had never emailed in the first place- although the email chain was all below. The shop is located in Murray Hill and it looks run down outside- we happened to pick the same night as Octoberfest was being celebrated by another business and parking was a bear. Once through the door our instructor was very chatty and thoroughly gave instruction- our group consisted of three of us and we are all crafters, who also all work at Michael's. Which we did tell our lovely instructor- we probably could have sped up the process a bit because of it- but we kept at the pace set by our leader. This is not a franchise- but an honest Jacksonville start up business. I do appreciate that. We stained our wood, set our stencils on our boards and were off to pick paints. They only do chalk paints and I learned a valuable lesson using these paints. They stink! I am going to assume that chalk paints can go bad- because I can't imagine anyone buying and using paints that smelled like dead animals- but that's exactly what some of these jars smelled like when I cracked them open. Tiff - my friend- works a ranch and completely agreed with my assessment! I am hyper sensitive to smells and this threw me. I pushed on and finished painting. Our instructor tried to give us tips- haha- I say try because us stubborn crafters barely followed her suggestions. I wanted my paint to still show the wood grain beneath- she thought I should've put more paint on- but I ended up with exactly the desired look. My one friend- Naomi didn't want any bright colors that would clash with her home- not even on her Halloween sign! I thought it was cute- she was so set on just black, white and gray. Tiff- she slathered the most paint on and hers was tacky-damp even as she left my house an hour after! Instruction = 4 stars (slow but thorough) Paint = 2 stars for the ones almost empty- they were noxious Final product = 5 stars we all had fun and left happy

Sur La Table is a whole experience!…read more Sur La Table was such a vibe! This class ended up being one of the absolute highlights of my trip to Jacksonville. My friend and I had the time of our lives, and it honestly felt like the perfect mix of learning, laughing, and connecting. One thing I loved most was how inclusive the whole experience is. Everyone gets a role, everyone gets involved, and you naturally end up chatting with new people. We met the sweetest couple and clicked instantly--it felt like we'd known them forever. Such a great way to build community while doing something fun. Quick note for anyone with dietary restrictions: I don't eat meat, and this particular class featured steak. They let me know that if I had called ahead, they would've happily made accommodations. So if you have allergies or restrictions, give them a heads‑up! They're extremely accommodating, which I really appreciated. We booked the Chef's Table date night class, and the menu was incredible. We made homemade gnocchi, a fresh salad, and a strawberry‑thyme sorbet that was a 10/10. The whole meal was simple, approachable, and taught in a way that made even "fancy" dishes feel doable at home. I left feeling inspired and ready to recreate everything in my own kitchen. Huge shoutout to our chef--he was from South Florida, and although I can't remember his name, he deserves all the praise. He explained everything clearly, shared a bit about himself, made everyone feel comfortable, and kept the energy fun and collaborative. His team and the store staff were just as amazing--kind, helpful, and genuinely excited to be there. From the safety walkthrough to the hands‑on techniques, everything was thoughtful and well‑organized. I'm already looking forward to coming back and doing it all over again. Thank you, Sur La Table, for such an unforgettable experience!

I am extremely disappointed with the way my 16-year-old daughter was treated at the Sur La Table…read morecooking camp. My daughter has Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a disabling condition that prevents her from standing for long periods. During the first two days of camp, my husband explained her condition to the staff, and they provided a chair so she could fully participate without unnecessary pain. On June 24, however, Chef Josh Sziranko handled the situation very differently. When my daughter politely asked for a chair, he questioned why she needed one. After she explained that she had a medical condition, he dismissed her request, threw up his hands in frustration, and refused to provide the accommodation that had already been given the previous two days. As a result, my daughter was forced to stand far longer than she could physically tolerate, causing a severe CRPS flare-up. Weeks later, she was still experiencing increased pain because of what happened. She was even unable to finish the remainder of the camp because of the pain. What disappointed me just as much was the lack of response from management. I contacted the store immediately after the incident and spoke with Casey, who said General Manager Kathleen would call me. Kathleen called the following day and said she would handle the complaint. Still, after that, despite another follow-up call from me, we never received an update, an apology, or any indication that the matter was taken seriously. A business that welcomes children should also know how to treat children with disabilities. A simple chair had already been approved and provided by staff on previous days, yet my daughter's request was dismissed, causing her unnecessary pain. I hope Sur La Table takes this experience seriously, provides disability awareness and ADA accommodation training to its staff, and ensures that no other child or customer with a disability is treated this way. I cannot recommend this location based on our experience.

Going here is like going on an old fashioned field trip! Tim, the owner will approach you as soon…read moreas you step on the property with a friendly hello. As you stroll the grounds he will come by and tell you all about the plants and pick some for you to even taste. He is so friendly and knowledgeable and makes the experience so fun. I want to start a medicinal & tea garden and he is so helpful for when and what to start. I tasted this really weird tasting plant that tasted like Chinese mustard and I'm floored this exists! Im so addicted. They have an area now that has chickens and pigs and medicinal plants growing. It's just a whole experience to go. I love that they employ ones with disabilities as well as support the community in that way. This is one of Jacksonville's total gems!
