Oh! This was a good find! Steve and I weren't even planning on stopping by here or even knew of…read moreit's existence while trying to meet up with a friend. After we got done with our visit we had just enough time to duck in here and check it out. There are lots of spices and some that are not easy to find so Steve stocked up on some for meals at home. There is also a wide variety of balsamic vinegars with a wide range of flavors. You can get a spoon and taste different ones which is a lot of fun to do! What also drew me in was their candy selection. While it's not a huge section some of the things they have are quite unique. Like a licorice caramel for example. I purchased a few of those and they were very enjoyable! Definitely a great place to swing by and take in their options. To one side of the shop it looked like a small wine tasting area. While it was closed when we were there probably it being close to them closing that is something to explore there as well.

I also enjoy the selection, albeit small, of gift items - always high quality and most often things I can't find elsewhere. The staff is helpful, but leaves you alone until you're ready. The new location is easier to access (slightly, parking in gh is hard any day) but is so much bigger the selection has gotten even better!

We found what we needed there to help our wee doggie get through a respiratory issue comfortably…read more A naturopathic syrup formula of Slippery Elm, Marshmallow Root and unheated raw honey soothed his cough by the second dosing (3x's per day) and symptoms went completely away in two days. However we continued for one more day and he has had no relapse. That said, not all pet illnesses or discomfort can be cured with herbal formulas and so we do not disregard seeing his veterinarian for a diagnosis for anything alarming or persistent and he is vaccinated. However, we do support and enhance positive health, his and ours, through diet first which can include health enhancing formulas which I prefer to make myself rather than trusting formulas that are not regulated and can contain whatever ingredients profiteers without consciences want to put in them. Was thrilled to find such an apothecary in the Seattle metro because it allows me to know exactly what I gave my sweet doggie during his discomfort and I can obtain formulas or make them myself to support our family's health as needed.

The day we came, it was a little drizzly but I imagine on a nice day it would be nice to wait out front on the benches before going in. We ended up getting there a little before our reservation. They have a gift store in the back which had a wide variety of things to look at. The restroom is in the very back in the gift shop area and it was so cute that I had to take a picture. When we sat down, we started with a sparkling cider before deciding on our tea. They had a nice selection of teas. I had their Hawaiian themed menu as is while my friend had a vegetarian version. They were very accommodating. I cannot recall everything that we had but I can say the soup, macadamia cookies, the chicken salad sandwich with peanuts, and the bacon wrapped pineapple were all delicious. There was so much food we ended up taking more than half home after tasting everything of course.
