TW: Sexual Harassment I was so excited to discover this…read moreplace, as I need herbs on an ongoing basis for my business. 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.

I was on the hunt for Arnica and stopped by this location after researching a bit. The shop is…read moreunassuming from the outside and parking is on the street. Step inside and you'll see a vast array of labeled, empty glass jars. The shop owner is kind, knowledgeable and generous. He explained that he keeps his products sealed in the back to retain freshness, which I really appreciated. Though he was out of Arnica, I decided to purchase other items including a toothpaste powder that he recommended for tooth pain. I noted how lovely everything smelled and mentioned lavender was a favorite of mine. He disappeared in the back and then reappeared with a large bag of the most fragrant lavender I've ever smelled. It was from Provence! He offered me a sample to take home and I happily accepted. It continues to smell like lavender in my kitchen. No doubt I'll be back to support this local gem. Tip: this is a cash only vendor; stop by the ATM ahead of time.

Thank God I always inspect and wash my chicken before cooking because this could've been really bad.

Please be careful and always check your food.

He assessed my needs and gave me OPTIONS instead of just trying to close a sale, which is something I incur often when shopping for supplements. Small local shop near SDSU, literally a 5 minute drive from 24 hour fitness--and a couple doors down from Planet Fitness. Stop by after your next work out and check out their inventory! Albert was the previous owner of USN Chula Vista so he's been in the game for a minute! Looking forward to using the supps I came home with today! Thanks guys!
