The selection is incredible--I walked away with a ton of great stuff--but the highlight was definitely the staff. We had some awesome conversations, and their energy made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a unique spot with great vibes and even better people, this is it. I'll definitely be making the drive back!

I was visiting Dallas & drove about 30 min from my hotel to check this place out. I needed some…read morePalo Santo, & while there were a few other places that sold it (that were much closer to where I was staying), I specifically wanted to support a Black-owned business, so I made the trip out here. The visit started off pleasant enough. I found quite a few useful things in here, plus 2 pairs of waist beads (they have a great selection of them here!). While I was shopping, 2 women came in after me who also wanted to get waist beads applied. They were each getting multiple strands applied, which I was not aware of until after they left. I kept shopping until I ran out of things to browse, then pulled out my phone to listen to music & scroll on Instagram while I waited. After 45 min, I was frustrated at the lack of communication about the wait. I'm empathetic to the fact that there was only one girl working in the shop at the time (I believe her name was Ashley) & I understand she can only work so fast, but it would have been great for her to say, "Hey, just so you know... both of these customers ahead of you are getting multiple strands of waist beads applied, so it'll be about 30-45 minutes or so before I can get to you." That would have given me the option to leave & come back, get a snack, chill in the car with the AC running, or choose to continue to stand & wait. The point is, a little communication goes a long way. I was ready to put my items back & leave when the owner came into the store & thanked me for my patience. I had no idea who she was at first, but appreciated the acknowledgment because it was the most communication I'd received in almost an hour. When it was finally my turn, I told Ashley where & how I want the beads placed, but she struggled to get the placement right. I'm using waist beads to track my weight loss journey & was very intentional about placement. Even after helping her place them & clarifying the tension I wanted, she still couldn't set them the way I asked. Annoying, but not a big deal. I expect them to fit looser over the next few weeks/months anyway. When she was done applying my 2nd strand of beads, Ashley asked me if I wanted to keep the excess beads. I asked if she had enough to apply the rest as an ankle bracelet. She confirmed she did, but told me she "doesn't have time" to apply them because a new employee was shadowing her. The owner was giving the new employee a tour of the store & there were no other customers there when she said this. I explained that I'd waited 45+ min while she applied multiple strands to the 2 customers ahead of me, & felt insulted because her statement made it seem like my time wasn't as valuable as theirs, because they got every strand applied that they asked for & there was no concern about time for them. I wasn't asking for a favor or anything extra... only that she use the excess beads I had already paid for & apply them to my ankle similarly to how she applied them to my waist. It was also a perfect opportunity for the new employee to learn how to apply them. Fortunately, the owner understood that & told Ashley to apply the ankle bracelet, then sent the new employee over to watch. It took 5 min, if that. The new employee learned a skill, & I got my ankle bracelet. A win for everyone in my book. What was particularly disappointing was the shift in how I was treated after I expressed that I was unhappy with how my time had been, and was being, handled. Instead of simply acknowledging the concern, the interaction became uncomfortable enough that I felt I was being treated as though my concern was the problem, rather than the communication & customer service deficiency. Afterward, I sat in my car for a few minutes trying to shake off the negative energy & figure out my next activity. The owner came out to check on me & brought me ginger peach tea. I really appreciated the gesture. Unfortunately, it couldn't change how the experience had already made me feel. It's disappointing that this experience has become the memory associated with my new waist beads. It's especially unfortunate because I bookmarked this business before leaving home for Texas & went out of my way to support it. I intentionally pour as many of my dollars back into my community as I can, but experiences like this make it tough to do so.

I hadn't been to Rock Barrell for over 10+ years, but it was just as magical as I remember it! I…read morehad the grandkids for a sleepover and I decided that they should experience the magic! My 9 year old grandson wasn't too excited to go but once he stepped inside and saw a shark tooth, he was all over it! Even hubby was so impressed and glad he tagged along. My granddaughters found so many pretty things but I limited everyone to two items each. The girls each wanted a shell ring and a turtle jewelry pendant. HUGE selection of jewelry making supplies, including stone, jewels, metal findings, etc. and so many beautifully polished rocks and stone pieces and crystals. The prices seemed very reasonable. After we took the grandkids to the Perot museum last summer and they loved the huge rock displays, my oldest granddaughter wanted a rock tumbler for her birthday. We did fulfill that wish and even helped her tumble a couple of sets of rocks over the month long process. I brought our results with us to the store. I asked the young lady at the counter about what might have happened. The kind older man behind the counter walked by and asked so nicely if he might step in to help. He explained that rocks have different levels of hardness and we could probably get best results by tumbling all like rocks at a time. Makes perfect sense! I was just so impressed at how kind (to us and to each other) and helpful everyone was. I think it was a father (owner perhaps?) and daughter working together and the working relationship was beautiful to experience. Everyone had a great experience at Rock Barrell and can't wait to return!

Botanica la Luz is not only locally owned, but we had such an amazing experience not only with the owner, but with the selection of teas and product as well! We were in the area grabbing a coffee from a local coffee truck and this botanica shop was right next door! Of course the purple ambiance outside is what initially drew us in! And I am so glad we did! The shop has everything you would need for a spiritual cleanse, from herbs you burn, to herbs you drink! We initially went in with curiosity, but ended up leaving with some herbs for our nightly tea (6.99) and my now new favorite mug for my morning coffee! I will also note, if you get a chance to speak to the owner herself, she is truly a gem! She helped my partner pick out the perfect tea herb to go with our now nightly routine and she was very knowledgeable about the health benefits of each herb! Overall a 10/10 experience and I will definitely be returning!

They were informative whenever you asked questions and were very sweet. The altar cleansing room was delightful, ancestral & beautiful. The tea bar is also very beautiful and I'm sure once it's more finished we'll stop by to make our own. We felt like a kid in a candy store, so many goodies. This is more cultured rather white washed kind of spiritual shop. They are orisha friendly and that was my favorite part. We will absolutely come back because this was a 10/10 experience.

Someone always comes from the back when I enter and just stares, regardless if I say hello or not. The answer is no right after you ask any type of question. Dust on almost everything. Over priced.

Nothing in there is worth stealing to me. That's just bad karma but God forbid, let them not let up about watching you shuffle around the small store.

I speak fluent Spanish, so upon entering the shop the first lady didn't seem to want to help me in Spanish, so a younger girl came out and only spoke to me in English. They spoke to each other in Spanish and to me in English. They did NOT have what I came in for, so I wanted to look around. This girl followed me around the shop closely and very impatiently. It was distracting and uncomfortable. Like they were watching me very closely, and in a small shop this was just too much. I bought a few little things but nowhere near the purchase I would have made if they would've just been normal. I found the products to be RIDICULOUSLY overpriced (tiny sage bundle for $9.99? No). Most products were mass produced and dusty, not very quality at all. Oh, and it's cash only. Anyway, I do not recommend this place if you're looking for anything but the basics, and mass produced old product at that. Gracias, pero NO.
