This new, local business is adorable. It's basically a craft bar. You come at any time and they…read morehave a rotating menu of crafts that you can pick to do. Each is priced separately and they have staff on hand to help you with the items. In addition to the crafts there is a basic beverage and food menu. They also have weekly recurring events. The one that I've enjoyed is the Friday toddler time: They read a book and then have a simple craft to do that pertains to the story. The whole thing is probably only 10 minutes, but it's completely free, so you can't expect too much. :)

Established in 1890, Timberlakes Drug Store is a family-owned pharmacy and soda fountain located…read moreright off the Charlottesville downtown mall. The drug store is in the front and offers everything a typical pharmacy would sell only more old-timey. I felt like I was on the set of "Now and Then" or some other nostalgia era themed movie. Keep going and you'll hit the restaurant portion of the store which sells a variety of housemade soups, chili, sandwiches, lemonades, and more. The kiddos loved taking a seat at the long bar and ordering their milkshakes and the counter person was as nice as can be. My husband had a hankering for their homemade chili and thought it was delicious. It was a fond bonding moment for everyone!

I first bought some non-gmo honey. I asked how they determine if their honey is non-gmo, which is a trick question of course. The nice lady in the store said the bees can only travel within a 2 mile radius (they don't go that far or they die), then they go back to their base camp to make honey. Within that 2-4 miles, there should be no gmo plants (like gmo corn) they could come in contact with or else the honey wouldn't be non-gmo, of course. The pottery and artwork are something I would want to display in my own home. If sky is the limit, I would buy that $400 salad bowl carved from a tree stump. Also, I love those pots that look like it was inspired by Gustav Klimt, in my opinion. I also love the handcrafted jewelry. During my first visit, I thought I would be able to find their merchandise somewhere else or online, but I found myself coming back. It's a wonderful and creative shop/boutique. Almost like an art gallery, without being pretentious.

We had an awesome time and the instructors were nice, welcoming, and fun. The place was clean and had lots of cool merchandise. We enjoyed making vegan sushi and "egg rolls" but none of it had any flavor as we really barely used seasoning at all so that was a huge disappointment. As a vegan cooking enthusiast, I think I could've made something much more tasty on my own. The meal could've benefitted from salt, ginger, onion, garlic! Sriracha even. And wasabi is ESSENTIAL for sushi, always. The dessert was amazing though and the whipped coconut cream was the highlight. I would give them another chance.

It fits us since the adults can do the mead and our kiddo gets the honey's. Both the whipped and the straight honey. The bee hive is a neat taste as it allows folks to just watch them do their thing. Talking to the staff there they are VERY knowledgeable and amenable to talk to. I feel like we learn something every time we visit.
