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.

Recently went to a YELP Elite Event and received a grab bag of delicious goodies from Geechee Girl…read moreApothecary. Let me just say... That Brown Butter Brookie is heavenly! I heated it up and ate it with some Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream. The Brookie was so soft and chewy. Plus, the ingredients are all things you know without guessing the pronunciation (the same can't be said about the ice cream). The Purple Haze Tea was so light, bright, and refreshing. The Beulah Mae Latte was also amazing!!! I saw they have a Chai Latte and so many other goodies. I will have to give them a visit. Or I may even order through YELP thanks to DoorDash making it easy to get all the yummy things without the risk of judgement.

Unfortunately due to "commercial" stores, she can only order a small amount at a time. It is truly the only authentic Korean convenience in Savannah.

Asia Market (AM) is one of a handful of Asian grocery stores in Savannah and surrounding areas, but…read moremore specifically, only one of two stores that focuses on Korean specialty items. I learned this early on when we first moved to the area, because priorities, People! I need to know where I can get my Korean goods! - Parking - Center lot. Located in a strip mall, the parking is limited and a little tight in front of the store, but hey, I'm not complaining. It's free parking. - Vibe - It's a tiny store. I mean, like 2 aisles tiny. So, if you can't handle small spaces, be warned. However, the owner has made good use of every inch of real estate in there, but organized. Reminds me of the way small biz owners set up their small spaces in markets in Korea. No wasting any space here. Think of it as Aldi in terms of product selection as compared to a Kroger. Smaller, easier to navigate and I can get all my basics. - TLC - I always see the same Ajjumma (Ma'am in Korean). She is the owner, I'm sure. She's always really sweet, gives service with a smile and when my kids are with me, she always gives them a little complimentary Rice Cracker snack packet. They clearly love her, LOL! - Goods - The prices are lower at AM between the two Korean grocery stores, even though it's the smaller store. Those two aisles are stocked with the basics and I can get everything I need to cook my Korean meals, from Gochujang (Hot Red Pepper Paste) to Japchae noods (sweet potato starch noods). I find some of my childhood treats too like Choco-Pie, Go-So-Mi Crackers (a must try if you don't know what these are!) and Banana Oo-You (Milk) which are super expensive, but I think it's just the price of importing them. My husband wasn't really too happy that I bought 6 juice box sizes of Banana Milk for $9, but hey, $9 is worth it for the walk down memory lane for a few minutes! On the second aisle, the freezer and fridges line the wall and I buy mostly all of my frozen and refrigerated items there, things I can't get online, like dumplings, oval rice cakes, both things I needed to make Ddukmanduguk (Dumpling Rice Cake soup) that Korean typically eat on Lunar New Year, which was the reason for my recent visit. The kimchi they sell is from Atlanta and it's pretty decent. For one of those big plastic containers (like when you get Pho broth packed to go, maybe a pint size?), it's about $8? Not bad considering Kimchi is a PITA to make. The good news is, every time I buy one, it's in the beginning stages which is the stage I really don't like, but it's an indication that it was made and delivered to the store recently. I got the Green Plum juice on my recent visit and I thought it was pretty tasty! I got this as an exchange for the Jeju Clementine juice I originally purchased because it had just expired. - Heads Up - Pro tip - if you see Hangul (Korean alphabet) on the store sign, it's most likely Korean owned, which probably means it's a Korean specific grocery store. I know some people were not too happy about the store name, but hey, there is Kimchi sold at big chain grocery stores and I wouldn't call it Kimchi. Know what I mean? If I plan ahead, I usually place my non-perishable order online with a well known Korean grocery store in the North East, but this is the place I go for all my last minute needs and all the perishable stuff. It won't have everything in 10 different flavors, but it should get you the basics! Note to self for future: Try the Jeju Clementine Juice and the Fish Waffle Red Bean Ice Cream Sandwich!

Do you love hot sauce? Then you'll love this place! Filled with any kind of hot sauce you want and…read moreothers that you probably don't want to torture yourself with. They also offer BBQ sauces and other sauces, all with the hot pepper theme. They offer free tastings. Grab a clean plastic sampling spoon and squirt sauce to your hearts intent or until you're choking, sweating (possibly swearing) and can't take anymore. I didn't see any crackers to soak up those hot pepper oils from your tongue. I walked out with a bottle of Kentucky Charred Chipotle Bourbon hot sauce. It was really good and a different flavor profile from my normal bottles of heat.

We were planning on doing some serious grilling for Super Bowl last weekend (Gooooooooo BUUUUUUUCCCCS!), so we decided to take a peek a couple of weeks ago. PP is located across the way from Savannah Candy Kitchen. - TLC - There was only one staff member present. He was super nice and was very helpful. He explained the company's history and the different line of products they make. - The Goods - All items are made in their kitchens in TN and are hand mixed in small batches. They have pickles, Bloody Mary mixes, hot sauces, rubs, wing sauces and salsas. They also have a small selection at their cash counter of EXTREMELY hot sauces like one called Flatline. It's a combination of South Carolina Reaper, the Ghost pepper and 7 other sauces. Yeah, WHOA is right! You need to sign a waiver to sample it, so good luck! I love hot and spicy but Habañero is as far as I go and even that in moderation! He said when he sampled it, he dipped the tip of a toothpick every so slightly and what he described, well let's just way what he described didn't sound very pleasant. They have the Schoville Scale at the store so you can see and compare the different peppers and determine what level you can handle! - Additional tips - Samples are available for all the items. Salsas are refrigerated so you have to ask for assistance for those. Shipping of items available for US, Canada and International. They offer a military discount with presentation of valid ID. They have bulk purchase discounts like buy 10 and get 3 free for equal or lesser value or buy 5 and get 1 free. - Purchase - We ended up buying a coffee based rub and used it for the dry ribs last weekend and they turned out pretty tasty. The pricing is on the higher end ($10.95 for 6.1 oz), but it's always fun to taste what fun flavor combinations others come up with! - COVID-19 Observations - Staff member was wearing a mask AND gloves. Spice is LIFE (!) and PP has plenty of it! Stay safe, Friends!
