It seemed cool and not of this time when I went in and saw all the jars and met the man who owns the shop. He gave me the herbs I needed and started commenting on my looks, saying he likes a woman like me. I was uncomfortable and wouldn't go back, but it got worse when he kept asking for a hug, to which I declined. Then he came out from behind the register area and tried to hug me. I pushed him off of me various times and felt super unsafe and just wanted to get out of there, so I booked it and never went back. I see many other reviews saying he's so cool and nice. I guess I was just his type. Gross. It's really sad because herb shops are hard to come by in San Diego, but thankfully Datura in North Park is a reliable apothecary with kind/ non-rapey staff to boot. So I get all my stuff there now.

I was on the hunt for Arnica and stopped by this location after researching a bit. The shop is…read moreunassuming from the outside and parking is on the street. Step inside and you'll see a vast array of labeled, empty glass jars. The shop owner is kind, knowledgeable and generous. He explained that he keeps his products sealed in the back to retain freshness, which I really appreciated. Though he was out of Arnica, I decided to purchase other items including a toothpaste powder that he recommended for tooth pain. I noted how lovely everything smelled and mentioned lavender was a favorite of mine. He disappeared in the back and then reappeared with a large bag of the most fragrant lavender I've ever smelled. It was from Provence! He offered me a sample to take home and I happily accepted. It continues to smell like lavender in my kitchen. No doubt I'll be back to support this local gem. Tip: this is a cash only vendor; stop by the ATM ahead of time.

It is truly an experience. The selection here is incredible. They have aisles packed with small cooking appliances, Mediterranean canned foods, and an amazing variety of fresh spices, nuts and seeds. It has everything a Middle Eastern cook could ask for, but what really surprised me was the variety beyond that. I brought a Hispanic friend of mine recently, and she was overwhelmed by how many hard-to-find Hispanic spices and foods they carried, too. Just a heads-up: the aisles are a little tight because they are packed with goodness, and the entrance is around the back in the parking lot (not facing the street). Parking can be tight in the lot, but there's plenty on the street. If you love cooking, you have to go here!"

I went for a consultation and was met by an extremely empathetic and kind woman that listened to my issues and prepared a beautiful personalized 12 ounces of herbal tea, 8 ounces of tincture, and a 1 ounce tincture for panic attacks.

In short, she is a great herbalist and a true joy to be around. Her baby was absolutely adorable too!

When I noticed the wall of loose leaf teas behind her, she quickly let me know that if I wanted a smaller batch, they have pre-packaged teas too. The tea that I chose was the 'Cramp Comfort' tea, which contains hibiscus, lady's mantle, licorice, lavender, red, raspberry leaf, fennel, cramp bark, and raspberry flavor. It's been really helpful for my period cramps too. :) You can also find crystals, incense, candles, perfumes, and oddities here. The staff member told me that they are all ethically sourced items- e.g., the butterflies and animal bones are from animals that already passed away. Lastly, I have to say, their prices are very affordable compared to other shops. I found a preserved butterfly for $10 and I got a pack of organic loose leaf tea for $8. I will be back again soon.
