The brick and mortar store is temporarily closed according to the Yelp page, but The Exotic is vending at Pike Farmers Market and other farm markets. The store uses ginger and hibiscus as healthy beverage and baking ingredients, which the owner crafts in small batches.
The owner is super friendly and offered samples of the beverages and cookies. She made me feel comforted and cared for, as I sampled the slushie.
I was able to buy a crispy ginger snap cookie and one of her famous delicious hibiscus slushies. The hibiscus slushie was wonderful, not too sweet, but soooo flavorful. I loved the slushie, even at $9. The crispy ginger cookie was crispy because it was burned on the bottom. I don't mind a little char now and then, but I have to give the cookie 3 stars.
I will return to get some of the hibiscus syrup. I can't attest to the health benefits, but I had an energy boost for sure.
She has a FB page that tells you where she will be next. read more
