This place has never let me down. Rain or shine (seriously, because even during a flash flood…read morewarning and unusual San Diego rain they stay ready), you can stop by this Botánica and find a great selection of materials. The prices are fair, there's an insane variety of items available in their selection, and there are plenty of cultural-specific items for Latinamerican folks in particular. I call ahead to make sure they have what I need, and I have yet to be disappointed. Wonderful service, too. And shoutout to the great music selection. If you're looking for a reliable botánica, try them out.

If you are seeking good service or at least not to be followed around the whole shop don't come…read morehere. I was followed after coming down a steep staircases because I was desperately looking for a Brujo/ Santoro a witch doctor to help me out. This places doesn't do readings/consultations and they don't prepare candles. They have tons of Amazon candles on hand and overpriced bracelets their statues start at $$777. The lady in charge will try to revert you to call a woman over the phone for a consultation but you better have Zelle-LOL. Otherwise she tells you to drive a few blocks over on Alleghany Street to Albert's place for a reading and trust me a real Botanica holds their value to take care of customers, not push them like I was. I know I'm not the first person to write the truth. The reviews are truly sad I am a real customer I had a real experience sadly I have visited many Botanicas in San Diego so I could find true Spiritual Guidance from someone with empathy and experience. Not just a shop wanting to score reviews and stack money. So here is the big SECRET this shop is selling false hope. The owner was rude to me on another platform. Who does that? Thats what you have to look forward to if you review the truth. This Botanica sells the same Amazon candles and statues, the statues are not prepared. People read and learn, don't just pay because you are desperate. Prayer usually works but when you need a little magic this shop did not meet my expectations; these days times are different and difficult I work hard for my money. I am wise who I give my full name and date of birth to and where I buy trust worthy products. If you write a review on your experience an owner should not be rude and respectful to respond it's fake because it's not. I'm not alone look at the tons of reviews under this Botanica saying they do follow you, they don't do consultations. I came here because they are in the famous National City close by San Diego and Closer to the border. But at this point some folks are driving from out of city just to come here . So be wise yelpers tell the truth when you review and post. There are more trustworthy Botanicas in National City off Wilson Avenue. You just have to do some research, and hope that your expectations are a match to their service , experience and understanding so you can be a valued customer and change your journey. For now this business gets 1-star for being a BIG a SECRET.

Their hand-poured soy candles smell amazing, and they offer an incredible variety of scents. I own a locksmith shop, and sometimes the neighboring business sends some interesting smells under the wall. Ashley was amazing -- she let me create my own custom scent, which I made more masculine to fit my brand. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about candle-making, and made the whole experience fun. Whether you want to design your own candle or choose from hundreds of scented options, this is the best place in San Diego County for unique, high-quality candles. Highly recommend!

Getting to shop for each flower makes buying flowers such an intentional experience. The staff is always sweet and kind and hot to help.

I love boutique stores but hate when they follow you around/pressure you to buy. A hello, asked if we need anything, and friendly service on the way out. Service 5/5. Simple yet effective. Select is adorable. Some expensive but they do have quite a few reasonably priced items. I originally went for a journal and really love the selection of everything they had. Fun artsy items. Also seemed to carry alot of smaller business (which I love!) If are looking for cute niche items -this is your place. I will be back! :)

I've shopped in their homegoods section and found a perfect housewarming gift for a dear friend. On my last visit, their collection of handkerchiefs/bandanas and their sunglasses caught my attention.

Not only do they have a great selection to peruse, but also have a great customer service. The lady working the register was polite and helpful. Make this your shop to support when you're shopping for a gift for a loved one - or even a treat for yourself.

I prefer to support local businesses but the way customers are treated or should I say ignored has turned me off from this business. I have been shopping there since they opened this location a few times a year, the prior staff member whom is now retired was the absolute best! I truly enjoyed the visit with her when I would meander in to check out the inventory. On my last three visits to the store the staff have not welcomed me or even acknowledged my presence and yes she saw me. I found some thing that I wanted to purchase but decided not to due to the behavior of the staff member. This is really a bummer as I really enjoy the unique items they carry.
