There's bulk spices, from za'atar to falafel seasoning and everything in between. There's a case of many Turkish delight options, including classics like pistachio and newer varieties like bubble gum. The gent working clipped a couple sample pieces before I purchased a small assortment. He also kindly offered a cardamom flavored black coffee while I browsed the shop. There's also bulk candy bins for more unusual gummy options, nuts behind the deli counter glass, and a back room with tea sets and similar small home things. If you've never been to a store like this before, don't worry, they will guide you and explain anything if you have questions. It's a great little shop that's totally worth checking out.

Recently I learned Ghada's little restaurant does private events and I host a networking group once…read morea month -- I wanted to support not only a local establishment but also a woman. She has been incredibly easy to work with - providing an amazing fresh menu for each event we have. She is gracious, welcoming, warm and her food is - oh em gee - delicious. I took an extra meal home for my hubby and he wants her to do ALL his lunches. I have no doubt as we continue to have our networking events here, we will be spoiled by the incredible array of options that are also healthy, often gluten free, and she was able to also accommodate dairy allergies. She is typically open just for lunch but the attached space is PERFECT for wedding/baby showers, networking lunches/dinners or any smaller private function you may have like a birthday/retirement celebration. She was also able to accommodate our wine-loving group with some wine for the evening. We each were able to pay our own tab and she surprised us with small tasting dessert bites. It was seriously the best! If you haven't trekked down Cross Creek lately - she is worth it!

This is a great store for your herbal needs…read more I first came to Modern Herbal Apothecary for a Yelp Elite event, and at that event, I was able to taste two of the teas that MHA blends. I bought one (the FrootLoops tea) for my family, and my kids loved it so much, that I had to return to buy more tea! This time, I bought both the FrootLoop tea and also the sorrel tea. Both are absolutely delicious, despite being all natural and healthy. MHA also has non-tea items including a range of honeys. Lyani is a doula and herbalist, and she has many herbs, creams, and soaps that are good for the pregnant and breastfeeding mama. (I also bought a copper tongue scraper as a gift! Love it!) I hear that they will soon open an area for enjoying the teas on site, and I look forward to that. Plenty of parking in the private lot, and some street parking too. Prices are very reasonable for the high quality, (often) locally-sourced items they offer. And service is positively charming.

This is twice now I've been here in 2 weeks that I've had terrible customer service. Not sure…read morewhat's wrong with the cashiers here but they do not smile or talk in a friendly manner. Today I went and the cashier, named Valerie on the receipt with the eyeball necklace, was speaking with a coworker in a happy tone and as I got in check out, she took her time getting to the register without once looking at me or saying hello but continuing to talk to her coworker. Then, when she was done with her cheerful conversation, her voice went full monotone. When I gave her my phone number for the 1st responder discount, the 10% was not applied either, and I didn't realize it until I left. It wasn't worth it at that point with the terrible customer service to even go back. After this visit, I stopped by McDonalds for a quick snack, and even the fast food customer service there was way better. Initially I was excited because they sell raw milk here. However, I may just have to go back to Chucks instead. I will give them a few more chances but honestly appalled of the service and this is 2 times in a row.

Really cool place for treats, sweets and drinks!…read more The whole place is decorated in Alice in wonderland themed. Painting and even the menu are playing cards. Had some ice cream from here which was really good but found it odd that they weighed the portions. I don't feel like I got a lesser amount as the they filled the cup, but just odd. Anywho! We ended up getting a few macaroons. Probably the best macaroons I've had in years. Lite and fluffy but full of flavor. Points for no food dyes too. After all that we ended up purchasing a bad of tea. Mango tea. Yes I love mango things. But absolutely love the flavor and aroma this puts off. It's already sweet so I don't need to add much honey. Staff was great and helped the wife pick out a the right type of tea for her. A decent selection between black, green and herbal. Will be returning soon for more tea and treats!

This has been my spot for a few years now. I've always loved the selection of fruits and…read morevegetables. The cashier (with the glasses) is always so sweet and kind. It's not a huge market, but it has a lot of variety. It looks like a small farmer's market -- it's cute. They also sell Turmeric, Spices and Herb plants off to the side. They sell a variety of honey, brown eggs and always have really sweet pineapples. Now what I will say is that the last few times I've been there have been NO oranges (and perhaps it hasn't been orange season), but I've always gone and gotten oranges from them and literally the last 4 or so times, I haven't been able to get any goods ones. They did have some bagged oranges, but I'm used to seeing the oranges where they now place the watermelon -- again, it could just be that they are out of season, idk. My ONLY gripe though has been that I haven't been getting good watermelons. They haven't been sweet nor ripe so I've been wasting a good amount of money over the last month. Also, I used to really love that their pricing was so much BETTER than your local grocery store, but I'm noticing, their prices aren't that far off anymore from their competitors. I used to be able to go and spend $40 and get everything I needed. My last trip, I spent nearly $70 and that prompted me to start paying more attention when I go the next time.

I guess we are spoiled here in south Florida as there are several local produce markets with much better prices and better quality. But it's always interesting to look around and see what another place has on display. We did buy some apples. Unfortunately, these turned out to be mealy and we wound up tossing the rest of the batch. We bought some fingerling potatoes which turned green a tad early, but before they did, we managed to cook a few of them first and they were okay. They had a lot of other items besides vegetables -- including jams and jellies and honey, et al. We felt these items were a little bit too expensive for us to purchase, as well. I'm still glad we stopped by to check them out. Now we know.
