Tim B.Tim Bushnell: An amazing shop and a wonderful resource for witches, the selection of herbs is like none other, and they offer candle engraving/enchantment. There are 3 friendly black cats as well, so no dogs

Melissa J.Melissa Jordan: You will have to ask for help first if you need it. Got the sense that this was more from them giving customers space to browse rather than being rude--when I did ask they were very pleasant.

heather p.heather pink: Staff here does everything in their power to do nothing to help their patrons. Spoiled ugly hipsters.
