    PETTING THE POSSUM
    Delaney S.

    I visited the store again to support the Pumpkins for 'Possums event. It was wonderful to see everyone who came out to support. I appreciated how the store and event was ran with separate lines for the the entry into the store and the line for interacting with the possum. I waited in the line for the store which only took about 10 minutes. The store was packed with people but even more importantly, really cool Halloween merch! I liked the photo op area in the front of the store. I this the store hosting this charity event was amazing. I waited in line for the possum where I got to pet the possum and donate. I even got a pumpkin to take home.

    I knew what to expect here and it was out of this world and intriguing. It's like a museum to me. Think gothic, Halloween, tales from the crypt, dark and gloomy, dark science lab, oddities, witch craft. So many ideas passed through my head, but it was especially eye catching, surprising and interesting. It's small but fully loaded up with stuff to see. Check it out! Everyone was especially nice working here and they have a coffee tea bar here. Pretty cool unique concept. Can't find this everywhere.

    A spooky ship for Halloween year round. This store has a great selection of goth/spooky items. I went for their 5 year anniversary and it was quite packed so I didn't get many photos. It isn't a big location but there is quite a lot inside. They have some items that you can find online and other items that are made by local artists. I would say the pricing is a little higher but not too unaffordable. I found a gorgeous gothic lace sleeve piece that I found online for $3 less. I would rather support locally so I had no problem paying a little more. The staff was friendly and helped take photos of my family and zi around their coffin. I'm not sure if the coffin is always there or just there for the anniversary, but it was a fun photo spot. If you're in the area or looking for a place to get some Goth or spooky gear, I highly recommend checking this place out. They also have coffee so you can get your caffeine fix while here too. You can even try on the clothing in the bathroom where they have a cool coffin mirror.

    Fantastic customer service! Everyone is super nice and helpful! Hands on store, you can touch and explore all their unique items! If you love spooky this is your place to go!

    Very small niche spot for exotic oddities! We stopped here wanting to do some Halloween shopping. We knew they were gothic in nature and has seen ads online, but we didn't really look further into it before visiting. It was an amazing experience walking into a photo op and seeing they had fresh coffee grounds and breed tea - along with wet specimens and taxidermy. Attached are photos of my favorite squirrel! We are BIG fans and are already planning out a display shelf for our (future) goods.

    Such a fun store with a lot of cool novelties they change it every once in a while the different themes they have a lot of horror items for purchase as well as Gothic items from necklaces to more bizarre items, such as taxidermy and snakes and fun things in jars. Great place to get things to decorate your house, clothes to wear, and fun jewelry.

    For all the goth and spooky souls out there. This shop has everything you need. I took my time to look at everything here. It is decorated with something interesting in every corner. I got a Nosferatu T-shirt and a Coffee Shop of Horrors bag of coffee. The store has jewelry, swords, cosplay clothing, herb jars, taxidermy and trinkets.

    In the non descript shopping plaza, Shoppes Howell Branch is the self proclaimed weirdest coffee shop in Orlando. I also anoint it the coolest shop in Orlando. Welcome to Prometheus Esoterica, an oddities boutique in the Abbey Rose Vintage Shop, curated by husband and wife, Adam DeLancett and Whitney Hayes. I have really wanted to visit here ever since discovering them on social media. On a trip to Winter Park to visit my daughter I finally got an opportunity to satisfy my curiosity. Inside the dark interior is an eclectic assortment of items from the owners private collection mixed in with taxidermy, antiques, uranium glass, goth clothing, books, old photographs, artisan made crafts, candles, gemstones, accessories, plush toys, coffee, and tea all for sale. You can take your coffee and tea with you to make at home or enjoy a freshly brewed cup in the store. You can easily imagine that Wednesday Adams or Lydia Deetz would feel right at home here. Friendly staff are around every corner to chat, offer suggestions, or give you the history on the unusual specimens like the two headed fetal pig named Ham and Bacon. I love supporting small businesses and I purchased a sweetly spooky Pennywise headband for my daughter. Other favorite items included a bat bottle opener and an opossum coffee mug that you turn upside down to use. Prometheus Esoterica will be participating in the Orlando Oddities and Curiosities Market on June 29th at Osceola Heritage Park. Follow them on Instagram to keep up on all the latest and greatest merchandise.

    Cup of coffee and looking at cool weapons and armor

    I love this store. It's hard to find really good gothic places and this one is definitely up there. They serve great coffee and tea and have an awesome environment of cool items and oddities. The price for a cup of coffee is fair and cheap and worth it to try the rotating flavors. My only complaint is that I have the bad luck of when i find a ring i like there, my size is out. And would like to find some good pants but otherwise, love the place and try to swing by anytime I'm in town

    I can't believe I waited so long to check out this shop! It made my oddity loving self so happy! The store has a variety of unique items, clothing, art, decor, old time medical related items, wet and dry specimens (which I was happy to hear were humanely sourced), and many other things. On top of all that, they serve yummy coffees and teas that are very inexpensive. The staff here were all friendly and happy to answer questions or give more info about their unique items. The staff let us know that items rotate regularly and soon they will be having items themed more towards ren faire style. It gives a great reason to go back and see the rotation of stock for sale. If you enjoy things that may be considered strange and unusual, check this place out!

    I can't believe I have left Florida for three years and I have never been here. This Hass to be the coolest store I have ever been in. From the taxidermy on the walls, to the animals in the little jars, and all the oddities and curiosities your heart can desire in one space. I might've spent a couple dollars here; however I talked to the staff and they are unbelievably nice. One of the gentleman in the store talking to me he mentioned I should check out a Bar called permanent vacation so I'm definitely gonna have to go there. I picked up a Viking Necklace, a bat necklace, a spooky clown sticker and a stunning colar. If you like anything spooky an audit you should definitely come here it is right next to Donut King across from nothing on Howell's Ranch Road. 10/10

    Ecstatic to have found a year round Spooky coffee shop! @prometheusesoterica is a boutique shop with endless displays to explore. From specimens to tarot cards to witchcraft books, there are many cool items for sale. They offer different 'Coffee Shop of Horrors' coffee grounds to make at home or sip while you shop. I enjoyed the "Ichabod's Dame Pumpkin Spice" coffee with oatmilk and honey. They also sell unique mixes of tea like the "Prometheus Esoterica" in whiskey chai flavor. The place is thoroughly decorated from wall to ceiling with intriguing Oddities. Handicap accessible layout of the store. I truly appreciate the dairy-free creamer option with beverages. My girl friends and I loved dressing in black and indulging in out-of-the-box shopping. I even scored a Wednesday Addams shirt‍. We went home with lots of goodies and already planning our return!

    Kept trying to come here on Sunday- they're closed, but it kept being the only day I would have a…read morechance to go. FINALLY had a Saturday off, and I'm so sad I wasn't able to make it out here before now. I also brought a bag of books to sell. The processing for the books I brought took about 30 minutes (it was an IKEA bag FULL, I just needed to transfer to one of their bins). That gave me time to look around and see what they might have. Not all of my books were accepted, which was fine, because the reason this place is so big and yet does such good business is that the books are well currated to ensure that they are desirable. Older books, or less desirable are kept down to one copy, whereas more popular books may have three or four of the same book, but the book is popular enough that it will be sold. Value wise, the rare, signed, and first editions area is VERY reasonably priced. Value for books brought in is given as either cash (I was given a lesser amount this way) or store credit I walked out with a few of the sequels of book series I have the first and maybe second of, but this way I could complete the series for less. I also found a few books on my TBR that were available. Books are indeed at used book prices, not hugely marked up, so overall I considered the visit a huge win. Overall, I guess my complaint is only that this is the only location, and I wish there was a sister store more toward central or even the west side of Orlando.

    Really cute bookstore! There are SO MANY BOOKS! You could spend the day browsing in here. Very well…read moreorganized and love their aesthetic. This is located in a shopping area so there is plenty of parking. It is a rather large bookstore. It was very busy when we went in but the staff was friendly and I was able to secure some books I had been looking for!

    I like this store. It's cozy, it's magical, it's full of stock, and there is a Starbucks coffee…read moreshop. Not to mention that there is a literal entrance straight to the parking lot. The books they sell here are wonderful. You can even buy table games, puzzles, toys, plushies and even legos. There is a kids area that has baby, toddler, and younger kids' books as well as a small stage were your kids can tell stories or even play an act. The bathrooms in this place are kept up well too. I recommend this place. It should be appreciated more.

    I took my son to the Barnes & Noble at Altamonte Mall and was pleasantly surprised by their kids…read morearea and great selection of children's books. I love that they have a dedicated section for kids to play and explore including toys, puppets, and more. He absolutely loves books and had a blast running around, picking out books and sitting at the little table to flip through them. Also, bonus points for having a convenient changing table inside a large bathroom stall that was big enough to fit my stroller inside. Super helpful for mamas who are on their own with their kiddos and don't want to have to abandon their stroller to use the restroom/do diapers changes. Glad to see this location is going strong after so many have closed. There's something so comforting and nostalgic about B&N and I always enjoy my time there. They also do a weekly storytime for the kids every Sunday at 2pm!
