This is a little natural health store inside centro comercial reforma…read more Some of the products still contain some chemicals but are much more safer than regular products. I come here to buy ingredients for making porridge, like wheat germ, wheat bran and flax seed. I also buy some natural vitamins and teas. There's all kinds of things available, vitamins, teas, baked products, makeup & other beauty products, even some fresh products like jocoque.

We came here for one thing, and one thing only: mezcal cups!…read more Specifically, throughout most restaurants in Oaxaca, Jim G and I had these small vasos/copas for mezcal that had different shaped crosses in the bottom of the glass. People allegedly say that when you see the cross at the bottom, when you're good (since you've finished your mezcal). According to the story, these copas were once used for votives in churches, hence the cross. We asked a few different servers are various restaurants, with no luck. We were doing our best to be ethical and not just straight up steal them, lol! Once person mentioned a restaurant supply store, but we didn't need a box of 50 of them! On our last day, one of our great waiters asked one of his colleagues, who sent us to La Violeta. There they were! For four of them we paid about $5 US, about 100p! Mission accomplished and now we can drink our mezcal at home in style, while thinking fondly about our time in Oaxaca.

This store, like almost everything I review about, brings so many memories to my mind. Every year…read moreuntil I turned 10, I would come with my aunt & her best friend apparently to look at cups & pots and who knows what else, but surprisingly we always walked away with a barbie for me. Recently I went there looking for some La Vasconia pots, but sadly they weren't available and the lady working there couldn't really tell me when they would get them so I ended up getting them online. If you're like who like to go in stores, just for curiosity, then this is the right place for you, believe me, there's so many things you go crazy and end up spending lots of time & money here.

I just love going to this store, even if I'm not looking for something I need. Just by looking at…read morethe huge selection they have, a million ideas come to my mind of different projects I can make. It's sad they don't really update their catalogs, so a lot of the times either they don't have what you're asking for or it's just not the quantity you need. Also the girls working there make your experience so bad, they just have the worst attitude, the opposite of helpful and even rude sometimes. I mean if you don't like your job, get another one where you don't deal with people.

One of the best and most complete gift shop we found in Oaxaca. They have lots of handmade and…read morelocally produced art and a very helpful staff. Located near the Zocolo just about all the things you see in local shops are here, but so much more. And there is such a variety within each category. The wood carved and beautifully decorated "animals" comprise a zoo of selections. All nicely done and priced reasonably. Clothing, especially blouses, ponchos and dresses, are plentiful. Jewelry, carvings, statuary, pottery, leather stationary holders, papers and paper decorations are part of the inventory. Prices are slightly more than one will find in the smaller shops, but selection and quality are the rule here. If you are looking for something special or different, ask the staff, all of whom speak English which makes selection and buying easier and more convenient. And best of all, the artists are supported through this venue which encourages more art and maintains some of the art that is fading out due to mechanization. Great place to shop in Oaxaca City.

This was probably the coolest shop we went to in all of Oaxaca. It's a huge space with lots of…read moredifferent spots, sort of a consignment type set-up. There's every kind of Oaxacan product you can think of, from black pottery to traditional jewelry, alebrijes, leather goods, chocolate, tons of textiles and more. What I liked about this place though, is that each stand is a different artisan from somewhere in the region, and though the goods seemed to be of a higher quality than I found other places, the prices were really reasonable. I met the artist of a piece of pottery I bought for my mom, and spoke to someone else that made silver for another booth. A lot of the things we saw in the street and at the mercado really seemed to be mass produced, and That was definitely not the case here. I hope that when I made purchases here they were being truthful and the money truly went to the communities where the products came from, because if that's the case, I'm really glad.
