I love this place. Whenever I visit Asheville I make sure to stop by and take as many teas I can with me. I highly recommend them.

Whenever I have out of town visitors I take them here. They have a wonderful selection of herbs, books, crystals and tons of local artisan products. This store takes pride in their products and it shows. Perfect for gift giving too. Some very special things here. read more

My first time visiting Herbiary (from out of town) was this weekend. First things first, what a beautiful store. I loved the decor and all of the herbs and books and skin care and all of the other cool things they sell. The two ladies who were working the day I visited were so very kind and had amazing good energy. We had our pup with us and where we are from, it's very dog friendly. There were some places in AVL They have sooo many different herbs and even some on sale, which were great prices. This is really an establishment that is really good to come to when you want to explore and learn new things regarding herbalism/green witch/Wicca/ritual tools/etc. 10/10 recommend and can't wait to come back. read more

This is a beautiful shop with many wonderful medicines in it. Today was the second time I have ever been inside, and it is for sure the last time I will ever shop here. While shopping today, I naively acted effervescent and bubbly and had very little boundaries up because i was the only person in the store. I shared all my insight about herbs crystals and life with the employees who worked here, listening to them talk about their recent break-ups and life experiences following a full moon and then responding with supportive phrases like, " wow!" "You are bringing in new amazing things with the space you've created in your life." I recently got structured water at my house ( a kagen) and have been feeling so vital and healthy and it really makes me feel grateful for being alive because life is easier for me then it was when I full of toxins. I sang to myself while walking around the store, exclaimed things like, " wow how beautiful!" "And ah this makes sense. I didn't need to stop at another store because this one has everything" I was taking to myself. Playfully... I love myself and my life. I did do that. But not in a way that appears mentally ill... to someone who isn't super afraid of their environment.... Certainly a grounded shop keeper of spiritual herbs and crystals and medicines... wouldn't be someone in there who is competitive, angry, dense, judgmental or terrified, right? While checking out with my 343$ order, they called the cops on me. For no reason. Literally. This has never happened to me in my life. I paid for the order, and In shock, tears gushing down my face asked them why they called the authorities and what i did that made them feel unsafe. They literally told me that they were concerned for my well being because nothing I said made sense that I am "just crazy" and that I am manic and seemed very intoxicated. The cops laughed at this. while I spoke to the employees... they engaged in conversation with me, and fakely asked me many questions and pretended to think highly of me while literally calling the cops on me at the same time. ???? No warning, no argument at all, they called secretly and sneakily because and I quote "Theh thought I was on drugs". Clearly they haven't had very much experience with real drug addicts lol!!!!!! they asked me questions to try to control me and keep me in the shop. For 30 fricken minutes. So they cops could arrest me.. which they didn't... I was late for all my evening sessions. I tried to cram Whole Foods in before working with my clients later in the day because I spent so long at this store. this felt like a personal problem with me and I didn't know them. at all. Assuming makes an ass outta everyone. They assumed I was a danger to myself and others because I was different from them. I assumed I could trust people because I'm trustworthy, but ya know you can't expect others to be like you or even to accept themselves or accept others. *shrugs* The cops spoke to me and told me they were probably insecure and assumed I was homless or something, which I'm not. Here's the deal though guys. Yelp. America/ lol. Even if I was... homeless or whatever, if I paid for my order, why call the authorities on me? If I didn't threaten or argue or steal from anyone, why call the cops on me? And what does this represent in our society? Tattle telling? Rumor starting? I'm truly embarrassed by this behavior. Witch hunting? Racism? Like seriously this is the rudest thing that's ever happened to me from strangers. Maybe it was because I had tattoos, or they were just too unresolved emotionally to understand their own fears and chose to take it out on me but I had them refund Me. Lol. The French broad co-op has most everything this shop has for cheaper, and with humans that are adults with integrity and emotional maturity. I recommend skipping this small business and supporting inclusiveness. The ego is a wild ride man. I search for the part of them that is me.. I search for a time in my life I would have been out of touch enough to do this to someone and I cannot find a time that comes to mind. The truth is... fear is a disease... and I have never had a worse shopping experience anywhere in my whole life then this store. My nervous system was messed all day feeling.. like wow am I that weird? I thought I was in a safe environment lol. I'm from Cali and I've seen people treat others like this there, but never me personally. This was Deeply humbling. Thank you guys for showing me everything I do not want in my community or life investments. This is the only review I have ever posted that wasn't 5 stars in my history on Yelp, or in my entire life..this isn't the only 1 star Review. read more

The teas and tinctures available here are absolutely amazing! The also have so many different herbs on their wall and the prices are super fair. On top of that the staff have given me great recommendations every single time I need help. They are friendly and the shop is absolutely beautiful, if you need some herbs and want to get them in person this is by far the best place in town! read more

One of the worst experiences I have had shopping in Asheville. I went into Herbiary because I happen to be downtown and I love poking around in every little store when I'm visiting the city. As I walk in I'm met with weird looks which I pay no mind to but I happen to notice a tall male move along behind me as I'm browsing around. Thinking nothing of it so continue on looking around but as I do the man is still not too far behind me. I turn around to ask the tall gentlemen why he was following me around the store I was told "we have had a lot of crime downtown recently and we are doubling up on our security" but I had noticed that no one else was being followed beside me so I asked about that as well and his reply was "we have never seen you in the store before and wanted to make sure you were shopping" I left right after the conversation and will never visit Herbiary again. read more

Kind and helpful staff. Yummy smelling hand sanitizer at the entrance for use. I only needed essential oils and they have a nice affordable selection. One bottle malfunctioned after purchase and they happily replaced it with apologies and a promise to notify the manufacturer. It was a great experience. I'll be back. read more

very knowledgeable folx with a great assortment of goodies! grateful to have this space in town.

If you're at all interested in essential oils, tinctures, herbal compounds, teas, or just an interesting time the Herbiary is a great destination. Nestled in the far corner of downtown Asheville, this spot has great solutions for whatever may ail you, or if you're looking to further enhance your joie de vivre, there's a crazy amount of supplements and remedies. The space is large, but not intimidating. The staff here are knowledgeable and friendly as well. Feel free to ask questions to find the best fit for you. Even better yet, they often offer courses in the back. The schedule changes, so make sure to call or check out their website. I found a great ayurvedic compound for my Kapha Dosha. If you have ANY idea what I just said then this is definitely a place that you'll want to check out. read more

Loved this store it's full of great herbs, teas, and essential oils. A large assortment of all kind of cool gadgets. In addition, most of the store has testers.. The staff was knowledgeable and very courteous.. I will be coming back as soon as I run low on my herbs.. read more

Cool shop, super friendly but disappointed with the selection. I'm sure it's hard to financially stock a store with so many big "health food/lifestyle" shop. Found several cute perfumes but only 3 brands of cbd oil so kind of disappointed but overall a nice store read more

What a great little shop! They have handcrafted soaps, facial creams, essential oils, herbs, teas, and gifts. We are from Nashville, and came out for a four day trip and decided to spend the last day shopping. I highly recommend if you enjoy this kind of place! read more

Such a wonderful shop! They had so much variety and goods I haven't seen elsewhere. I've started a natural perfume venture and the staff member was helpful, patient and knowledgeable regarding my questions. I left with a great set of aromatic herbs and flowers. read more

Stumbled upon this shop while walking to brunch on a Sunday morning. They were still closed so my husband and I popped in after we ate. You immediately feel a sense of calm and welcoming upon entering. Staff is very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. The shop offers an array of herbal remedies, teas, tinctures, essential oils, diffusers, candles, soaps, lotions, books, healing crystals... I wanted it all! Oh and they carry CBD Hemp Oil products too :) Prices are average and hard to find locally where I live so we lingered around for a half hour looking at everything and left with a few goodies. Definitely made it to my list of my fav shops in downtown Asheville. read more

Great selection of all kinds of herbs and herbal products. They mix up tinctures, tea, and have pre-mixed formulas available for purchase. Their selection of essential oils is excellent and I found some things I hadn't been able to find online. Also carries a great selection of locally made products. Will def order online from them in the future. read more

I adore this shop!!! Biggest and best selections of herbs in Asheville. No other place like it!!! I use their essential oils in my shop down the street, Free Spirit Salon. I always go the Herbiary for the best all natural supplies. Also the staff is SO kind and generous with information and ideas! read more

Every time I walk into The Herbiary it's like I am stepping into an oasis of pure goodness. Best place to buy gifts for those that appreciate self care. Amazing resources for healing and a very knowledgeable and friendly staff. read more

Love the customer service and communication from this store. I have not been in the store have only mail ordered but this is an indication of how customer service oriented they are I can't wait to visit. Looking forward to stocking up again soon. read more

While the place has a charming appearance and a nice calming atmosphere, I felt like I was looked down upon. Sometimes I go out in very casual clothing. I can afford anything in that store but the condescending attitude and acting like I might steal something is a total turnoff. There are many other places to purchase these types of items in the area. This is not a new concept but instead one that has been done over and over. And, elsewhere the parking will be much easier. read more

Nicely arranged selection of essential oils, dried herbs and teas, natural remedies, soaps and topicals. I didn't really get a chance to linger, but found a nice sinus oil to combat my response to the local foliage and pollen. The lady herbalists were friendly and helpful. This place would be one of my go tos if I were a local. They do mail order, too, with an offer for 20% off of first online order. read more

I highly recommend the Herbiary. They have a wide selection of herbal products. The staff is very knowledgable and I especially want to thank Jodie for her attentiveness, good advice and kindness. Five Stars! read more
