I enjoy visiting esoteric type shops because of the light, love, & uplifting spirits. Otter & Trout…read moreunfortunately is the exception to that rule. When I entered I was overcome by a horribly strong odor of what seems to be a combination of bad incense & herb burning for many years. The store suffered from the 4Ds.....dark, dingy, dusty & dirty. In fact any merchandise that isn't sealed should be considered used as it is all tainted with a layer of residue from the burning of items. In so far as pressured sales, yes they do suffer from that also even to the extent of as you're heading toward the door. The couple of items I had a somewhat interest in the shopkeeper could not demonstrate or explain them correctly. Personally I couldn't get out of there quick enough to get fresh air in my body. To add to the dismal experience I had to maneuver myself around beer cans in the parking lot.

My boyfriend and I wanted to try a new coffee/matcha and first found Coterie's instagram page…read more Their instagram was super cute, had great marketing, and it appears they even host events (like group crafts!). We ordered the iced vanilla dirty chai with cinnamon and the lucky charms matcha (since it is March). For the iced vanilla dirty chai with cinnamon: the chai was both sweet and creamy, with strong hints of cinnamon (especially with the cinnamon powder on top). This is a drink we would order again if we went back The lucky charm matcha was slightly disappointing. The menu said it was made with cereal milk, though the taste didn't come through and just tasted like regular whole milk. The matcha was bland/dull and lacked depth of taste. On top, there were only 3 lucky charms, which was the part we were most excited for yet unfortunately let down by. For the quality of drink, the prices were high and not worth the value. The matcha was $8.25, which was most disappointing, and the chai was ~$6. The service was great and the barista was super nice. While your drinks are being made, there's tons of stickers, trinkets, and merch to look at. If you'd like to stay inside, there's an "upstairs" (couple stairs up) seating area where I assume most of the crafting events occur. Being off of University, parking is limited.

Music lovers, rejoice!…read more If you're looking for a place where great music is key, look no further! When I first started my record collection, I asked my music-loving co-worker where to go and he immediately recommended Hear Again! Located in downtown Gainesville only a few cobblestoned steps from the legendary Hippodrome Theater, Hear Again has a fantastic location in the heart of the city. You'll usually know when the shop is open based on the standing sign that is propped up during business hours! Upon entrance into the store, you're surrounded by some of the greatest tunes to ever be pressed on their various mediums with more genres that you could even count. Hear Again is so wonderfully organized and arranged, there never seems to be a a CD or vinyl out of alphabetical or genre order - talk about arrangement! The wonderful store owner also keeps a running list online of available vinyls, also available on their Instagram page which is updated weekly with new arrivals or sales. My favorite portion of the store? The used records! I've scored vinyls in prime condition for $5 or even less! One of my favorite details about Hear Again? Their COVID practices! Upon entry, you get your temp checked, hands sprayed with alcohol/sanitizer and you are then provided with gloves. I love it!! So if you're planning to show some love to your music collection soon, Hear Again has all the greats your record player could want!

I have been selling off jewelry I had because of the economy I needed the money. After looking online at values for the first time I think he is a little greedy. The starting bid is what the pawn broker offered me----CAN WE DO BETTER THAN THAT? A buyer almost immediately offered me $1,200 and as soon as we put up a buy-it-now he paid the $1,200, he wrote and said that PAWN BROKERS AND JEWELERS ARE TAKING TERRIBLE ADVANTAGE, ESPECIALLY OF OLD PEOPLE!!!

The shop also offers monthly raffles that provide you with a ticket for every item you purchase. There aren't many metaphysical shops in Gainesville, but I cannot recommend Moon Craft Works enough.
