I'm always looking to try independent coffee shops, with woman and diverse owned being a plus. This…read moreplace came up on my TikTok fyp a couple times, so I couldn't wait to try it next time I was in Savannah. Geechee Girl Apothecary did not disappoint. I went twice while there. I tried four different coffee lattes and one tea latte.
Sweet potato latte - amazing. The flavors were there, and just a solid latte all around.
Beulah Mae - my other favorite.. perfect pound cake flavor, it was like eating a slice while drinking coffee.
Geechee Girl - they were out of maca root, so I'm not sure how that affects the flavor, but this was a good hazelnut latte with chocolate notes.
Dubai Strawberry (seasonal, I believe) - I did not get the pistachio flavor in this, but if you are looking for a latte that tastes like chocolate covered strawberries, this was very good.
The praline tea latte seemed like it had good flavor, but was unfortunately very watered down tasting.
Both times I went, I ordered a slice of Ophelia's sweet bread. Sadly, they forgot to put it in the bag on my second visit. It was really tasty, almost like a pound cake, but a little lighter, somewhere between a lemon loaf and vanilla pound cake.
Both my daughter and mom ordered the shrimp salad wrap. They said it was very good, something they'd order again. I feel like the wrap was maybe slightly overpriced, at $13. I did not get a picture of it, but it was a bit small, and I don't believe it comes with a side. As I was ordering coffees with the wraps, the barista rung it in as a combo, which made the pricing more economical, at $17 for the wrap and a large latte. I didn't realize at the time, but the combo does come with a choice of chips or fruit.. I wasn't given an option, so they just put a mandarin orange in with the wraps. Chips would have been better haha, but I know for next time. I also got a side of the quinoa salad, not a fan of chickpeas normally, but this salad was delicious as well, and I would definitely get it again.
The shop has a beautiful assortment of spices, herbs, teas, and other wellness products. Their handmade soaps smelled AMAZING, and were reasonably priced at 3/$20 (handmade and very clean ingredient list). I bought a few for my mom. I also bought a sample jar of their magnesium butter, can't wait to try it.
