Great staff, very clean, and seriously tasty drinks and snacks. Highly recommend checking them out!

They had everything from nutcrackers, smokers, Russian nesting dolls and the beautiful wall of clocks. Be sure to make this a stop on your visit, right across the street from the beer garden you see in all the photos online. I will post a photo of our clock just as soon as it arrives!

Hilariously talented, I'd buy anything from these guys as they're not pushy but don't give up. I always bring one of my kids, we browse, any changes - he will find what you want.

Just a great place to browse and some different offers than others. See if you find some thing anywhere near what you're looking for but you can't find it he will find it. Highly recommend you spend your money here!!!!

He was very abrasive in his tone with everyone, walking around the store with his arms behind his back, which I call "lurking". Not friendly and not very helpful. I saw a necklace on display I was interested in. It was like $19 or something. Then after admiring it and deciding to get it, he piped up and said "that price is just for the chain you know, not for the pendant. The pendant is $60." Well you could have spoken to me more quietly, you also could have told me that from the beginning when I was looking at it and physically examining it, and why wasn't there a tag on the pendant but there was on the chain? Not cool. Made me feel like it was a little shady. Not sure if I'll be back.

From the outside, it's charming. Step inside and suddenly you're in a bright, airy, North Georgia grandma's apothecary--like a magical mountain kitchen where everything actually works. The environment is warm, light-filled, and thoughtfully layered with organic teas, natural medicines, incense, mineral sprays, and unique gifts that feel intentionally chosen. It's cozy without clutter, peaceful without pretense. Mandy and her family run this place with integrity. The staff is kind, helpful, and genuinely informative--always answering questions, never pushing a sale. They know their growers, craft blends in-house, and their tea selection is next-level. I'm a tea snob, and these teas, tinctures, and remedies actually work--PMS remedies, flu/temperature support, energy resets. Even their mushroom selection is thoughtfully curated.
