We found that both carry the same items, however, so if you've been to one you might not need to hit the other one. But since I've been to both I thought I'd write a bit here, too. It may be bias since the other location was the one I was first acquainted with but I found the other space a bit more comfortable and charming. Not to say there's anything wrong with this one. I just love the more rustic, wood decor of the other. But this location still has so many delicious honey varietals to choose from! They have their own locally sourced honey including Sourwood and Wildflower, and some sourced varieties from out of state, including Tupelo from Florida and the Chicory and Meadowfoam from the Pacific NW. They even carry Lehua from Hawaii and Fireweed from Alaska! There's also infused flavors like coffee, ghost pepper, chai, lavender, vanilla bean, and more. And the best part? You can try them all! They also have some really cute bee themed housewares, plus skin care, candles, and other products made from beeswax. Perfect for gifting or hoarding for yourself. Not that I'd know anything about that.... ;)

Also, your prices are a bit over priced we will get our Indian groceries from charlotte and asheville. The prices in California or even better! If you can start being nicer to all customers and come down on the price is a bit maybe more people shop there! Thank you-

The only downside was that the chicken soup had run out, but the Italian wedding soup was tasty. The wrap was plentiful and good compliment to the food bar plates. Sushi was also fresh in taste. We were helped twice along the way, and the cashiers were friendly and courteous. Shows good management on board. The store is clean, and large windows let you soak in the outdoors. Too bad the TapHaus is closed down for good! I remember when it first opened and it was a great bratwurst and beer place to watch the games. Should reconsider opening it again! We'll be back for sure.

The employee who made our sandwich was new and tried multiple times to get the manager for help to get a sticker. The manger ignored her and ignored us we waited for 15+ mins. Manager was lazy didn't even acknowledge us or apologize while walking in front of us multiple times. Customers are not a priority at this store. The worker Ashley was a goat she was awesome but, as for the manager we never even got their name. Ashley apologized for the wait and machine issue she is an awesome worker. The manager was short with striped pants and dark hair and glasses. Easily wasted a good time on our trip.

I absolutely love using these spice packets for a quick, easy, and delicious meal! And the best…read morepart is the versatility. Each spice packed gives you easy recipes and suggestions on what to add. Quite often I'll use half of the spices with the suggested chicken, beef, etc, and the other half I will make vegetarian/vegan friendly and add vegetables, potatoes, or some sort of vegetarian meat alternative for added protein. There is enough food in one packet for my partner to have a meal and leftovers for lunch the next day with the meat curry. And the same for me with the veggie curry. They also make great gifts for friends and family around the holidays since they are gluten free, all natural spices, without any preservatives. And recipes can easily be made vegan too.

*POST HOLIDAY UPDATE*…read more Karen has added a few new spice packets and one is the ultimate local recipe, Asheville Brew Stew! What could be better for local residents? Here are the ingredients to spice a warm winter beef or lamb stew. You'll need to add your favorite local beer and get on over to The New York Butcher Shoppe in Arden for your favorite cut of local beef. If you ask politely they are happy to chunk it up for you so all you have to do is add ingredients to it. It's perfect for these cold winter days that are upon us right now. Let's really support all local businesses and get on this. Karen also has a wonderful Hungarian spice packet for fish if you're feeling the need for lighter fare. I cannot recommend this highly enough. I'm a huge fan. And if you're out of town, Karen's business is online and she ships. They made wonderful stocking stuffers this year for me to give to all my friends. Good luck on making that beef stew although you won't need luck, Karen makes it easy to make perfectly seasoned dishes for every home cook. Cheers to a better, healthier 2021!

Trader Joe's located in Asheville is crazy -- parking lot insane! :)…read more Aside from that, one of the best parts about stopping by this Trader Joe's in North Carolina was finding tons of the coveted mini tote bags!

I happened to see her again as our cashier and pointed it out as friendly as I could muster, and got an "oh" in return. Just a reminder, kindness is free.
