    This fun, positive energy store is located in the Village of the Arts neighborhood in Bradenton, FL. I visited the neighborhood and store on a Saturday morning in June. They were one of the few shops open in the Village and I'm so happy they were open! I spent at least an hour there and could have spent longer. They are located in a charming, old house that's been converted into a shop with 5 rooms full of lovely new age treasures! They also have several tents on the surrounding yard full of outside art and gems/crystals! Soooo much to choose from! If you are looking for a gem/Crystal/rock, this is a wonderful place to find it. The selection is great. They also have an area where you can mine for gems and a few price points depending on how many gems you want to collect from mining. I didn't do it the day I visited but it looks like fun! The also had a chicken coop with some of the prettiest chickens!! The property is such a fun, eclectic experience. I asked and the tents, gem mining, and everything extra outside the building are permanent and not just a special event. They also don't have seasonal hours and are open as their hours are posted. I left with some fun, cool, and comfortable tye dye lounge pants, statuary, jewelry, incense, and more! The folks working in the shop that day were really helpful, not only with picking out items in the shop but also recommending other fun places to check out and good places to eat. I definitely recommend checking out The Village Mystic!

    This place is so wonderful! Went on a whim with my friends on vacation, they opened the gem mine for us after turning It off for the evening. Recommend the $40 bucket to split and we had A BLAST! Totally worth It, so many cute crystals inside and we found a huge amethyst at the bottom. This place has the largest selection of crystals in all forms I've ever seen with down right unbeatable prices. We had such an amazing time. I have family 2 hours from here and I'd make the drive from there next time I visit just to explore here again!

    Jeff and Dawn are great people! The store is beautiful! I was the biggest skeptic on shamans and ended up getting a gift card to have a reading done. Jeff was so on-point at my reading about everything! I cried. It felt like a therapy session - a good one!

    My husband and I had discussed it and we had decided we were ready to have a Reading done, we had checked out a couple of local Metaphysical stores and found most to only offer Astrology and or Tarot readings. Although the offers were great it just was not what we were looking for. Then we came across The Village Mystic and found that they offered readings by a Shaman named Jeff, this definitely piqued our interest and seemed to be just what we were looking for. Upon locating the store we found the entire area to be very open and decorative all the businesses in the surrounding area were all very in line with what could be considered an open and free environment. A place where a Metaphysical shop like this could really flourish and be welcomed. Needless to say we were very excited once we entered the store, the storefront is very nice with a welcoming stepping stones path to the door. Once we entered the store the energy was very peaceful, but open you could tell people could talk and be themselves in a store like this. There was lots and lots of great merchandise, including the tumbled and raw stones, salt lamps, incense and even alter cloths. We had both opted to have a reading done with Jeff, and I went first. He has a very gentle and kind demeanor and for me was VERY, VERY accurate. No information was given ahead of time and no tarot was used in my reading he basically just went purely off his divine given gift and explained what he was seeing and or feeling. I was thoroughly impressed and had unanswered questions answered. I left my reading with a feeling of peace and happiness and felt that it was a genuinely great experience. My husband also stated that he felt very similar with his reading and had insights given to him he found quite surprising. All in all the staff was AMAZING, the customers were too and the store is an asset to the community. If you're looking for a genuine reader.. I highly recommend these guys and truly suggest to everyone and anyone to visit as you will be thoroughly impressed! P.S. We have plans to return to this store very soon! :)

    Something told me to check this place out one day while visiting my family from Orlando and I'm so happy I did! Dawn is so nice and gave us a tour of her beautiful shop. It is worth the stop! it's so nicely put together and they have a large stock of crystals. We will be back!

    Great service and wonderful inventory. I bought sage, mugwort, and asked about chasing powder for a pesky Poltergeist.

    The Fox Mercantile nails the coffee-shop-meets-general-store thing without trying too hard. Pulled…read moreup for the seasonal Le Fox S'mores Latte--brown sugar marshmallow syrup, mocha cookie butter rim, toasted marshmallow fluff on top--and it delivered. The iced cortado and cold brew were both clean and well-made. That white La Marzocco with the fleur-de-lis is a statement piece, and you can taste they take the espresso seriously. The space is a great hang: exposed white beams, mustard velvet chairs, a fireplace nook, and enough natural light to make you want to stay. The retail wall is a fun browse too--Bon Bon Swedish candy, MASA chips, Sea Nuts, local candles, and Coffee Lovers Club hats under a big American flag. Prices run a little steep ($9.75 for the seasonal latte), but the quality backs it up. Solid coffee, great atmosphere, worth the stop.

    I want to like this place but now after multiple visits I have been disappointed by the quality and…read morestaff and won't be coming back. The outside is so nice and inside is decorated well (super dark though - poor lighting especially in the coffee shop). I first went a year ago and the coffee was poorly made (the beans they used then were from one of my favorite local roasters...the espresso shots were pulled incorrectly). Same thing this visit, everything was bitter and tasted burnt (we got multiple drinks for my family both visits). I asked about the beans and their onsite roaster to learn if they roasted everything or if they also used a local roaster and the barista was clueless and said "well they are beans and that's a roaster thing I guess?" The first visit the staff were just rude both the coffee shop and the overpriced store. This time no one was managing the store front and the baristas were so confused, could not keep orders straight and a line grew for people at the coffee shop that just wanted to buy something from the store. My son had ordered a croissant ($7) they called my name, my son went to grab it for me and the guy told him that is not his. I was there with him, told him my name and he said, no it is for someone else. So it sat there getting cold for almost 10mins while we waited for our coffee (meanwhile they were giving other people the wrong items). When my coffee order was ready I asked again and mentioned no one had taken the croissant and if I could now take it, he looked at me and almost said no but the other barista was like yea that is his. The outside gives this place the second star. Sadly the change in ownership has not improved the organization or level of quality. This past visit was on a Wednesday and not a peak time. I may have also just come on two really bad days looking at the other reviews. The prices warrant a better more consistent experience in my opinion.
