Herb Shoppe - 10 1 oz bags of herbs

I've been on an old fashion kick and decided to try my hand at making my own bitters. I try to…read moreavoid amazon, so I checked out some internet herb/spice shops but was put off by the high shipping prices. Then I did what I should've done all along and searched for local shops. So glad I found this place. The owner is very friendly and has operated the shop for decades, I believe. Walking in that store definitely took me back. Back to a simpler time that and he had almost everything I was looking for. The gentian root should be in next week, and he suggested some other bitter roots that should make for an interesting bitters.

It seemed cool and not of this time when I went in and saw all the jars and met the man who owns the shop. He gave me the herbs I needed and started commenting on my looks, saying he likes a woman like me. I was uncomfortable and wouldn't go back, but it got worse when he kept asking for a hug, to which I declined. Then he came out from behind the register area and tried to hug me. I pushed him off of me various times and felt super unsafe and just wanted to get out of there, so I booked it and never went back. I see many other reviews saying he's so cool and nice. I guess I was just his type. Gross. It's really sad because herb shops are hard to come by in San Diego, but thankfully Datura in North Park is a reliable apothecary with kind/ non-rapey staff to boot. So I get all my stuff there now.

Three things you need to know about the Ring of Fire salsas that come out of Mike and Diane's…read moreGourmet Kitchen: 1) They are the only commercially available salsa that taste homemade and that's a win right there. 2) They use really fresh, top drawer ingredients. Sadly other salsa vendors use standard grade ingredients and then mask it with heat. Not these pepperheads! 3) They seem to be the only company that knows how to make a decent habanero salsa. Fresh habaneros have what some describe as an earthy (even a good and dirty) flavor component and it's very challenging to work with. Most salsa makers use sweetness to offset the hot dirt thing going on -- but not Mike and Diane. They have a secret and while I'm not gonna spill the beans here I will say that it's theirs is the only habanero salsa (besides my own) that I will eat. Above and beyond that they are great, warm people and surround themselves with a fantastic crew. My online orders for their products have been handled cheerfully and promptly and Mike even reached out to me with a personal thank you note the last time I ordered. For the win! They just launched some new web sites and they are drop dead gorgeous and highly functional. It's all there now. Do yourself a favor and try everything they sell. You will be glad you did. Oh and while I've not been to their brick and mortar location in El Cajon, my wife has and she said it was great. It's nice how their bottles fit perfectly in a Christmas Stocking you know?

Locally made Hot Sauce that it sure to leave a "ring of fire"…read more Ring of Fire was being demo'd at Bates Nut Farm today and I was sold after the first dipped cracker. First off this is a little different Habanero sauce than I'm used to. I'm used to the bright orange stuff they sell at the grocery stores. This has more of a finely blended salsa texture. The ingredients are vinegar, tomato, onions, habanero, garlic, serrano, spices, salt, and sugar. What does this all mean? A great Dipping sauce! Also good on mac-n-cheese and mixing in with salsa. - Something locally made that would make a great gift.

I used to go here every week or so when I lived in San Diego around 2016-2019. I had just gotten out of an abusive relationship and had years of trauma from an abusive childhood. I was desperate for any kind of healing that works, not the Caucasian psychics on El Cajon Blvd who try and convince vulnerable people to spend hundreds of dollars on a cleansing or information that isn't even accurate. Julien is always right. I did buy cleansing from him, because I knew he sincerely wanted to help me, and my life changed. I no longer suffer from anger issues or self destructive behavior. I am now in a healthy, loving relationship, and am living in Los Angeles. Finally pursuing my dreams and aspirations I've had since I was a little girl that I never thought would be possible for me. Gracias Julien Por Todo. May god bless him. Come here and you won't regret it. Buy a green candle and have him fix it for you if you are having money troubles or in need of a job, or even if you want to manifest your dream job, it works. (Use with caution as it also represents fertility unless you need it for that as well.)

If you pay him he doesn't deliver your product, if you pay him for a job or service he screws you over. Acknowledging what others say and what I'm telling you 2026 , this guy is a long time scammer. All Botanicas in north park and city heights are a fraud do your homework and find the best reviews and you decide. Definitely this Botanica doesn't deserve our business.
