So they have a store side where you will find delightful spices, tea pots etc... and then they have the tea room where you can sit and enjoy a pot of tea in delightful little tea cups and so much more, including pastries. I almost want to keep this place a secret but I won't because it's a gem in our city. Service was helpful and friendly.

Izzy and Robert delivered excellent service, and the basil peppermint tea (hot & iced) was my teas of choice. Shoutout to owner Elizabeth E. for the strawberry monk fruit recommendation, perfect light sweetness. Definitely more than a tea shop, highly recommend, and they also have Arizona locations in Old Town Scottsdale, Sedona, and Prescott.

This place is amazing! We were looking for Juneau-made Barnacle products, and this was on their…read moreproduct locator. Stepping in, we were awed! A local green house with healthy, fresh, greens and mushrooms, and even some other products in the fridges. Staff was informative and friendly, and pricing looked between $4-$6 for a bunch of lettuce--not only comparable in price, but fresh and not wilting/rotting. It was warm and bright inside, and we will definitely be back!

I can't believe I'm just now finding out about this super produce growing operation!!…read more They grow a large variety of lettuce, greens, herbs, and Edible plants. They do offer a weekly share purchase opportunity as well as walk in market times to buy the most delicious fresh salad greens. Hydroponically grown and picked within moments of your purchase these greens stay "alive" in your fridge till you eat them. Super clean, open space, that smells amazing like fresh green garden. They also have a small selection of local made canned beverages and a selection of Evie's ferments in the cooler. I'm definitely a fan!

After our meal at the Glacier Brewhouse next door, we wandered into Alaska Max. I hadn't planned on…read morebuying anything but realized they had the salmon roe I wanted to pick up for my parents that I didn't buy while in Ketchikan. I'm not sure if it was more expensive or not but I'm guessing that it was but it didn't matter because I needed to buy it. I also picked up a jar of jerk seasoning that my friend said was good but didn't check the expiration date. It expired in May 2019 when I bought it in August 2019. It's a shame they don't check their own inventory on the shelves for expired items. Oh well. Lesson learned. The cashier behind the counter was nice but she balked at our choice of ice cream place that we mentioned we were headed to. She said her spot was better but we weren't going that way. Different strokes for different folks.

This is a cute little kitchen gadget and condiment shop inside the little shopping mall where…read moreGlacier Brewhouse is located. It's overpriced, of course. And it's filled with numerous needless gadgets. But it also has some good Alaska souvenirs for folks who like to eat. Multiple types of syrups and jams, for example, as well as fudge and other items with an Alaska twist. The tiniest bottle of blueberry syrup, the tiniest jar of salmonberry jam, and a bottle of hot BBQ sauce cost me approx. $35. So again, definitely overpriced. But it's conveniently located and enables you to not go home empty-handed.

Then I was passing by their Kimchi refrigerated cooler and I was like it's nearly all gone hmmm that means people must like it. So I grabbed a container! I usually get my Kimchi from Costco, but not anymore. After eating their Kimchee there's just no comparison. If you're into Asian and Indian foods I recommend coming here.

Staff is friendly and helpful too. Interesting flavors for the jelly centers too, all native berries like gooseberry, black currant, blackberry, fireweed, mossberry, lingonberry, etc. There are also some boxes that just have the more standard flavors like blueberry and raspberry. The prices here for their own products are a lot cheaper than elsewhere...$14 box of chocolates here compares to $19 at airport and $17 at gift shops.

This market has thinned out a lot since my visit 13 years ago. Today when we went (a Sunday in…read moreJune), there was one total strip of retail and food vendors combined. The rest of the lot was amusement park rides. There was a booth to dress up and take photos with Alaskan huskies, ulu knives, handmade candles, fur, photography, jewelry, and my favorite: Christmas ornaments made of Alaskan clay. I had to get one and start my travel Christmas tree ornament collection. Paid parking across the street and they were actively ticketing!

Decent little market, but there really were not that many vendors as I was expecting. Only one row,…read morewith a majority of them having food. The carnival rides took up a majority of the parking lot, which limited how many vendors could possibly be there. With it only open a few months, I would expect more vendors to be out when the weather is nice. I honestly was pretty disappointed in how little they offered. There were a few decent stands, but the prices seemed to be pretty high compared to what was being offered and seemed to be more geared towards tourists rather than folks living in the area.

Having been to Italy, Originale's is the closest restaurant that even compares to the taste of the…read moresandwiches made in Italy. I've had the Nonni and the Classic Piadina. Both are packed with flavor. Whether ordering in or ordering to go, keep in mind it takes quite a while--almost 10 to 15 mins--for the staff to make your sandwich, so I wouldn't recommend that you stop here in you're in a hurry because you're not going to get it out fast. In this case, call ahead about 30 mins or so if you're picking up. The prices are a little high, but it's worth the price for the quality of the food you're getting, which I can't say for most restaurants in the present era (2020s for those that are reading this in the 2030s and 2040s, if this platform still exists then lol!) Either way, the quality is HIGH and the flavor factor? HIGH! The Classic Piadina is very fresh tasting and comes with greens. It only comes in one size, so it's a little small for me. Still delicious! The Nonni is a pretty large sandwich, if you're getting the full sandwich. The onions combine with the meat enhances the flavors. The building that Originale is in presents itself as a very quaint and relaxed lunch spot with bright colors and large windows. It's a place you can go to sit and talk with friends. I look forward to trying more of their sandwiches.

I went with the "Favorito," and let's just say, it instantly earned its name. The prosciutto cotto was pure-savory-bliss-melt-in-your-mouth good. And the focaccia- fresh, herby, and perfectly balanced in thickness. It hugged the fillings just right without stealing the show. Also, the tomatoes- I did not expect them to be so buttery and delicious. I may have paused mid-bite to appreciate them. Yes, I'm that person. As a die-hard cheese lover, the little bonus cube of cheese on the side felt like a tiny gift--like the sandwich was giving me a wink and saying, "Hey, I see you." Originale, I'll be back. Probably sooner than I should be.
