A REALLY UNIQUE EXPERIENCE…read more My husband made us reservations for 6:30, which is highly recommended. If you've ever been to Bottleworks on the weekends, you know that parking can be a bit of a challenge so plan ahead (we were almost late). When we walked in we were greeted right away and we jumped right in. You start with going through a wall of different scents. And when I say wall, I mean a literal wall of scents. There must've been 100 to go through. Once you list your favorites and find your top 3, you pick your vessel and head back to your area. We were surprised to see they had beers, wines, and seltzers available. Our "helper", Gracie, was really fun to work with. She took a look at our scent lists and made some suggestions on scent pairings. She was very friendly and attentive. After a few drinks in us, we started mixing and pouring until we handed our candles in to start the two hour setting process. They were about to close so we decided to pick our candles up the next day. Overall, such an amazing and unique experience and we'll definitely head back with more friends!

I've always wanted to make my own candles so I was excited to have a group of friends who were also…read moreinterested in doing so. We went on a Tuesday night and pretty much had the place to ourselves. It's a gorgeous setting and fun vibe. They do serve drinks to enjoy during the experience. I had a lovely Rose. The process was pretty straight forward but a bit overwhelming at first. You get to choose from like 100 different scents and then narrow them down to 2-4. I believe it was Billy who helped us determine which would work well together. I was happy with how my candle turned out. It was ready the next day.

Or if you just want a quick snack or drink while walking around Foubtain Square, pop on in. Everything I have bought from Rooftop Fruit has been a new favorite. From the Hey Champ miso candy bars, to lip makeup, to CBD icy hot, and wrapping paper everything has been of great quality. I go here often for stocking stuffers or birthday gifts. It's nice to be able to get people something I know that they will love while also supporting a local business and so many small businesses. Recently I went in to get some wrapping paper to wrap books for a book swap and I was so pleased with the quality of the wrapping paper for the price. I was nervous that it would be see through, but it was not see through in the slightest. I got so many compliments on the wrapping paper at the book swap! Once I run out of hand soap I really want to try their waste free options! The staff are amazing and so helpful! They're quick to show you options and help come up with ideas (or let you know when they have more inventory in the back if you like to stock up on Hey Champ bars like me).

I'm thinking I'm just going to purchase a snake plant. And I was introduced to the ZZ plant that is also very low maintenance but absorbs a variety of toxins. The young person that helped me told me that they also got the plant for their grandmother during her battle with cancer. He also steered me away from peace Lillies because we didn't want to give funeral vibes. It was a beautiful experience and I ended up getting her 2. A large one for the room and one right by her on her night stand. He went above and beyond nagging sure I got the most full plants with great color. Top notch experience and we've got to support local businesses!!

This is such a cute place in Indianapolis. I saw it on TikTok when I just landed and I thought that…read moreI should do a visit when I had free time. The owner was extremely welcoming when I entered and engaged me in conversation. This is primarily a store for plants and flowers so while I couldn't carry anything on a plane ride, there was a nice selection. The owner was knowledgeable about plants and helped me to remember a plant that I wanted. Plus they had plant accessories too. This place also had beverages (non alcoholic) and gifts in general to accent the home. Definitely not a once stop shop but a cute selection to ponder. Definitely a place to visit

I was looking for something special to do with my granddaughters, and this was just the thing. My…read morebest friend met up with us for a princess tea time lunch, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Everything down to the finest details about our lunch was so wonderful, that it's hard to narrow down for brevity. The setting, the decor, the exceptional service, the food and the tea and their presentation...perfect. So lovely. A few of us have food allergies, and they were easily accommodated for. They have a nice selection of gluten free options, and what we sampled was delicious. The girls were all so tickled with their Princess Tea lunch. They received crowns, and we couldn't help but notice that each girl received a color that matched their outfit. Having a selection of finger sandwiches and little sweet treats thrilled them just as much as having pots of tea to sample from their pretty little teacups. Even the smallest details were tended to. We enjoyed it so much, we quickly agreed to making this a regular girl date spot.

My second experience was vastly different than my first. My…read moresister organized what was to be a special luncheon for my twin granddaughters who were home from college for Christmas break. My daughter is on a gluten free diet and seeing no GF offerings on the menu she ate before we went but joined us for the experience. Our reservation was for 12:30. We were seated within a few minutes. Our waitress, Ashlyn, arrived and introduced herself, promising to be back soon. 30 minutes later she returned and asked if we would like water. We said water and menus would be nice. 30 minutes later she brought a carafe of water and the menus. We had plenty of time to discuss the menu. When she returned she sat down in our extra chair and talked about the selections and made suggestions for us. Then told us to think about what we wanted and she would be back. 30 minutes later she returned and asked if we knew what we wanted. My sister told her we would like to order now. My granddaughters and I ordered the petite tea, consisting of a cup of soup, sandwich, scones and sweet treats, and tea. We all chose the baked potato soup, sweet and spicy turkey croissant, and vanilla almond tea - all served on a tiered tray. My GF daughter ordered a cup of tea. My sister ordered separately. Our tea pot was delivered and we waited for our order. Our waitress appeared 30 minutes later and asked if we needed anything. My sister said yes, we would like our orders. Our waitress apologized for the wait and said there was a mix up in orders in the kitchen. She reminded us that she did not prepare the food, just served it. Our food finally arrived. The cup of soup is literally a tea cup of soup and while it was delicious, it was 3 teaspoons of soup - which we used the same spoons we used for our tea as there were no soup spoons. The turkey croissant was grilled and flavorful, also 3 bites. The tea was now cold but the sweets were very tasty. When our waitress reappeared, she apologized for the long wait and offered to take half off my daughter's tea and noted that we would also save the tax that would be charged on the $5.00 tea. My sister told her that was not acceptable, that she thought half off the entire table was customary in the restaurant world, keeping in mind we have been there over 3 hours. The waitress said she would talk to the manager, then came back and asked us to meet the manager at the register. We ended up receiving half off the entire bill and there was half off for my daughter's tea. 3 stars for adjusting the bill and for the delicious food, that's 2 stars less than my previous glowing review for making my granddaughters first "tea room" experience less than stellar.

We came across The Butta Bar and realized it was the perfect choice. We did the body butter and body oil class, and it was such a fun, relaxing, and memorable experience to share together. There is an incredible variety of popular scents to choose from, which made the process exciting and personal. Danielle was amazing from start to finish. She was helpful, knowledgeable, and so easy to talk to, guiding us through every step while making the space feel welcoming and comfortable. Her talent truly shines. You can even see her beautiful crochet items among other cute things displayed in the little shop at the front of the store, which adds such a special, creative touch. The space itself is lovely and versatile. It works perfectly for small, intimate groups but also has room for larger gatherings and even corporate events. SheButta Bar is more than just a class, it is an experience rooted in creativity, connection, and care. We left with products we love and memories we will always cherish. I cannot recommend it enough.
