I loved the location as it highlighted SODO (South of Downtown) and brought a hipster sorta vibe. Access to the location was super easy and parking was plentiful. You could try for a spot in front of the suite (across from TJ Maxx) or do what I did and park in the Target parking garage. The goal of this pop up shop is to highlight local and small businesses and artisans . There was a little of something for everything: Project Pop and their organic popcorn Cloak and Dapper had clothing and grooming tools for purchase Wondermade marshmallows Rifle Paper Co. (Stationary and cards) Whisk & Bowl (cooking & kitchen tools) J&G Chocolates (yay for samples) Orlando Doesn't Suck t-shirts These are only a handful of the businesses that were represented. Spa Privee was also there providing mini massages. It's definitely a great way to check out all those small businesses you see around town but all in one place. I also noticed they are offering special craft/art workshops(for a fee) throughout the weekend event so definitely worth checking out the schedule. For purchases, you pay at the front table next to the front door. Unfortunately only credit cards are accepted so keep that in mind. Looks like they are bringing out a few food trucks for the weekend event open to the public so it's a great way to incorporate date night with food and shopping! Plus you can get cute photos taken of yourselves playing shuffleboard!

The Daily City Pop Up Shop is cool... possibly a little too cool for me. But if you are in the SoDo…read morearea this week I'd recommend checking it out. The folks from the Daily City have brought together an interesting mix of local businesses in a very hipster-ish format. This is a great chance to check out some smaller businesses you may miss otherwise. I was able to go to the preview night last night with some friends. The shop was easy to find on the corner by the Target and TJ Maxx. There was street parking and also parking in the Target garage. The shop is set up with creative window displays and signs outside to let you know you've found the place. The format of the shop wasn't what I was expecting at all. I was expecting something more like a traditional market with different stalls for each business. There was a variety of businesses represented but the products were displayed like a traditional store with all of the products mixed together, not divided by brand. Since I am a super planner I had looked at the Daily City site before going to the shop and had an idea of the products I was interested in buying. The selection in the shop turned out to be pretty small and there weren't salespeople, so I ended up not buying anything. I specifically wanted to pick up an "Orlando Doesn't Suck" shirt. I completely missed the shirts on my first pass through the store until someone pointed out a small selection of them in the bottom drawer of a dresser. It was a pretty display, but not very functional. I honestly didn't want to mess up the display, so I ended up skipping the shirt (maybe I'll go back later in the week and get one once somebody else has messed up the nice folding). There were a ton of great products, fancy marshmallows, cool clothes, flower headbands, stationary, etc. And if you don't feel like shopping, there's shuffleboard. It's a fun and unique shopping experience.

They usually post on their instagram at the beginning of the week what their locations will be. The owner was so willing to help and put together flowers to see what I liked best. Loved how you can pick what you want and each flower is priced so you can see how much you're spending. The bouquet as a whole was a little pricey but you are paying for the experience as well as the flowers. It is first come, first serve so if you see something you like definitely go early so it doesn't sell out. My flowers stayed for about 2 weeks too with minimal care!

I would definitely come back here again!

It has such a strong local vibe and it is cool to see a mix of smaller vendors alongside some more well known food spots. That said there are a few things worth noting. First, seating can be a challenge. There is plenty of outdoor seating but not much indoors. The day we went it was pretty hot and sitting outside was not the most enjoyable experience at times. Second, I fully support spending money at local businesses but the tipping culture here felt a bit excessive. I bought a bag of coffee beans with no drink and was prompted for a tip. I spent $45 for 12 pieces of chocolates at Oban Chocolatier and was asked for a tip there too. Same thing when I spent about $25 on four cookies at Gideon's Bakehouse. I am happy to support but it started to feel like a lot in a not enjoyable way. Third, the hours between vendors can be a bit awkward. We came around brunch time which worked for some spots but others were not open yet. For example, Domu does not open until dinner (5PM) and Gyukatsu Rose was not opening until later in the afternoon (3 PM) Overall, I think this is a great place to check out especially if you enjoy trying a variety of local spots. Just plan ahead for seating and timing and be prepared for lots of tip prompts along the way.

The folks in the shop were very friendly and it was organized and clean. I bought handmade cards and soap, several pairs of earrings and adorable stickers. I'll report back when we go make the candles! It seemed like the price was right and they gave you a discount if you brought your own glassware for the candle.
