    Cards and watercolors

    As stores pop up in east Austin you just never know what type of gentrification store you're going to get. While the man at the desk was friendly the women who work here not so much.... One of the women working walked around said hello to everyone else who entered the store aside from me which was interesting to say the least. That being said the store is cute and has reasonably priced items and goodies , knick knacks of every sort!!! I got some thank you cards and a local watercolor! They have parking in the back for free and free matches and buttons!

    A really cute, cozy store with a ton of handmade/artisan goods! Not just from local artists, either. Everything from kitchenware and unique foods (gourmet chocolates, oils, spices) to leather and paper goods, pottery pieces, jewelry, and even a kids' section of toys and books. You can find a little something for anyone here (but be ready to pay a premium price). It's a great spot for gifts or specialty goods, but not your every day, go-to store. If you want to splurge on beautifully crafted items or unique teas and spices, this is your spot. If you know people who appreciate things like this, it's a great spot to know about and visit!

    I came here for some gift shopping and I'm in love with this super cute store!! The shop is well designed and decorated. I felt like I was shopping in Japan the moment I walked into the store. There are so many cute stuffs, from home goods to stationeries to dinnerwares...and what's even better is they have imported a lot of international (especially Asian) goods (which I'm obsessed). The only reason I'm leaving 4 stars instead of 5 is bc most of the items seem to be a little overpriced. Would be great if they could offer discounts for locals. Last thing worth mentioning is the parking space. They have a parking lot right behind the store. Super safe and convenient!

    One of my favorite stores in Austin! I always find myself back at Take Heart. The store is exceptionally curated, and I find something special each and every time. I feel so calm in this space and the staff is very sweet and helpful :) What a gem!

    Super cute spot that reminds me of a mix between a holistic store (incense, stones, oils) and local artisan workshop (pottery, wood, jewelry). Not local to Austin only. It features artisans from all over. Items range from affordable to steep.

    I found this gift store on yelp before trip to Austin and I'm so glad I had the time to visit!! It's so cute and has an amazing collection of house, spa, baby gifts and more. The staff was super friendly and not pushy at all. I ended up purchasing two brass card holders that I'll use for pictures.

    So cute!

    5 Stars and each of them well-deserved. I spent a good 45 minutes in this shop with my best friend last week while she was showing me around East Austin. I visit her once a year or so in Texas and she comes to Virginia to visit me. So Austin was our spot this time and I'm so glad we stopped in this shop! We talked to the owner's mother who was working inside the day we were visiting and she was very friendly and available but not in a hovering sort of way. She just politely made small-talk - offered some details about the shop and the idea behind it - and patiently waited while we browsed the entire store. My friend found a few items for a baby shower she was attending, a neat book, and some Japanese incense that smelled like heaven (it was $30 a box so it better!). They had some fantastic little pottery items I wanted to buy but since I had flown in from VA and had to bring everything back on the plane I had to be selective about glass items. I did purchase a beautiful pink hand-blown small decorative bottle with a cork stopper for around $35-45, a tbsp. sized decorative coffee scoop, and an absolutely amazing paper weight from the UK which is a dandelion suspended in glass (or plastic)... ohhhh, I love it! The items in this shop are all beautiful, eclectic yet classic, and pleasing to the eye. I found so many things I'd like to have and put in my home that I can't even begin to imagine the damage I'd have done if I lived in Texas. I spent $125 on three items! They're good quality but they aren't cheap - as with all items that are hand-made. The location is near Mana Couture and Blue Dahlia bistro. There is plenty of parking on the street, a small lot, and lots to do nearby. My friend and I rode bikes from her apartment and just locked our bikes on a nearby bike rack so we could walk around and shop. The shop itself is architecturally beautiful in a studio space with lots of wood and windows. It's a neat building to be sure and the use of light and windows in the shop adds to the charm while you're browsing. This shop is an excellent find - they have a website which will soon have a few of their items for sale and I plan to browse that and see if I can get any of those beautiful glass pottery items shipped to me in VA. If not, I'll be coming back next time I come to visit my friend for sure! A must see! Support local businesses that have quality products!

    This general store felt like an art gallery, all the little accoutrements and nic-nacs could have kept me here all day. Very well curated..Beware you'll want to buy everything!

    This is a beautiful store with very cute and quality crafted items. I loved looking at all of the ceramics and other home decor items. Everything was so lovingly curated, you can tell that the owner has great taste! I ended purchasing a few smaller items: washi tape, postcards to send to friends, and a little tray for my front counter. I love stationery and was happy to see that they had some specialty items in stock such as the MD Notebook. I will have to return and pick out some other things as well! This is also a great place to shop for presents for anyone that loves thoughtful design.

    I absolutely loved this store. The products they sell are beautiful and unique and the store itself is airy, sleek, modern and beautiful. They sell gift items like stuffed animals, tarot cards, notebooks, spoons, ring dishes, incense, jewelry and much more. I ended up buying two mini bears for $21 each. They were so incredibly soft and cute. It is one of the softest things I've ever felt. I wanted so badly to get the fluffy lion as well for $44 but felt silly for spending that much money on a stuffed animal. Other than the bear and lion, they had a llama. If you're like me and don't have a pet but badly want one, this ultra fluffy stuffed animal may temporarily satisfy you're need to pet something. They had unique incense sticks that were mini or circular (like in Asia). They also sold candles and gift cards. Even their hand made pottery bowl for dog water outside was beautiful and aesthetically pleasing.

It was full of goods yet gave each piece the ability to shine. It was vibrant and colorful, warm and inviting. SO many brilliant gifts to be found here.

A lot of current trends have their genesis in these designs and handiwork, so make sure you're buying the authentic product, rather than a shitty knock off made in China. It's worth making the extra effort, and the prices here are very reasonable. A couple of examples: - Thick "friendship" bracelets, in a myriad of colors - Bib-style, beaded Cleopatra necklaces made from seed beads - Tribal print textiles - Wayuu bags from Columbia (You've seen these - they are the brightly-colored, patterned bags that have a bit of a bucket shape) Raul even took the time to show me how to spot a fake Wayuu bag, just in case I decided to purchase one elsewhere. Overall, an incredible store. I'm headed back to buy a bracelet for a friend who saw my Corocoro purchase on Instagram and wanted one of her own!

Now, the real star: the gluten-free baked goods. We tried four different things, cookies included, and honestly? I was stunned. The flavor, the softness, the balance, nothing felt like a "gluten-free compromise." It tasted like the real deal, maybe even better. Not overly sweet, not dry, not crumbly, just genuinely delicious pastries that happen to be gluten-free. I don't know what magic they're working in that kitchen, but this is easily the best gluten-free bakery I've come across. A must-visit, no question.

Every piece in the store appears to be intentionally curated. Maaribu melds a home and gift shop with an in house café and bakery, creating an experience that's both relaxing and memorable. According to Mable, my server, Maaribu is a combination of the word Marfa (Texas town that has the Prada store) and Malibu. The brand is often described as combining Marfa's creative spirit, Malibu's laid back lifestyle, and clean Scandinavian design. The shop portion of Maaribu is beautifully styled, featuring furniture, décor, books, and gifts that have a modern flare. All the items are easy to peruse and get drawn in. The use of color is playful and engaging. Maaribu's key highlight is its café and bakery. The in house café has an assortment of coffee, wellness beverages, and dedicated gluten free baked goods. I bought a Rose honey latte, which was divine along with a multi-layer pastry. Mable said customers enjoy the quality and flavor of the pastries...scones, muffins, cookies, brownies, and egg bites are frequent favorites. Importantly, the café is reported to be fully gluten free, which makes it a standout destination for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities, without sacrificing taste or variety. The outdoor seating and patio area add to the charm, making Maaribu a great place to enjoy coffee and pastries on a nice Austin morning. After years in Austin, I finally discovered Maaribu--a modern, eclectic coffee shop and store. Every item is thoughtfully curated, blending a home-and-gift shop with a café and bakery for a relaxing experience.

Maaribu's café is fully gluten-free, featuring quality pastries like scones, muffins, cookies, brownies, and egg bites, as well as wellness drinks and coffee. Outdoor seating makes it a perfect spot to enjoy coffee and pastries on a pleasant Austin morning. Wow...Maaribu!!!
