Anna's Apothecary

Great store for quality, handmade products. A friend of mine visited the area 3 years ago and loved the hand salve she got at Anna's Apothecary so much, she asked me get some for her when I was visiting Colorado Springs. The store itself smells incredible - and so do the products! I love that things are made with minimal ingredients - as someone with skin allergies, this is very important! I got their hand salve and lip balm in peppermint - both are fantastic.

I love Anna's! So many wonderful options to choose from and the continuous growth of products is amazing! I live in Falcon and come here atleast once a month to stock up and she never disappoints! Great company and even better people

A ch a beautiful story-- they had a big selection of herbs and teas I loved the snowy night tea!!!

I have been searching for an apothecary for a little and it was right under my nose the whole time!!! My best friend took me here on 06/12/21, she said she knew I'd fall in love. Fall in love I did! I love using herbs for natural remedies and making teas and I will be able to shop local to do so now! I'm coming for you marshmallow root around fall time lol! They have just about anything you can think of/need in here. I do have to confess I'm somewhat of a beginner so from my point of view I should say, they have everything. To wrap this up the store was absolutely stunning, the lady working that day was wonderful (she even gave me the name of her stylist because I've been looking for someone who can cut curly hair!), and I can't wait to come back again already.

My favorite apothecary in Colorado, hands down.As a fellow herbalist, I love how you can bag your own dried bulk herbs! The staff are so friendly, welcoming, helpful and informative. Anna has a wonderful selection of dried herbs, tinctures, teas, candles, salves and even supports other local artists in her shop. The atmosphere is so cute, quaint and vibrant, I would apply to work here if I lived closer!I want to emphasize on the fact that this apothecary is supporting "body choice" during this pandemic (which I love, respect and support small businesses like this for) and is not medically discriminating anyone if they wear a mask or not in the store - it's your choice! I respect store owners that are supporting the freedom of choice, especially when it comes to health and our basic human rights as individuals. Highly recommend this apothecary to anyone in the Springs!

Natural Healing in Manitou Springs. Affordable tinctures beautifully packaged for what ails you. Worth the stop. Expert help behind the counter. I purchased carrot seed serum for scaring. Fingers crossed.

Anna's Apothecary is an interesting place. I didn't know what to expect. When I was walking around downtown Manitou Springs, I saw this Apothecary and decided to check it out. Where I come from (Atlanta, Ga) we don't have many Apothecaries. Of course, I come to find out that Apothecaries seem prevalent in Colorado. After Anna's, I started seeing them more in other places. It diminished the novelty factor when I found that out. But this place still had the charm. It sold a bunch of tonics, salves, elixir, tinctures, etc. of medicinal nature. It looked like a good place for a witch to shop in to make her bubbling cauldron. They didn't have bat wings or eye of newt though (or maybe I didn't look hard enough). The salesperson who helped us was helpful. She knew a lot about each items on the self. They have a ton of mixtures and teas that supposedly cure any ailment you can think of. Was she selling Snake Oil (maybe they actually had snake oil as well)? I'm not sure. But placebo is a hell of a drug. The stuff here is a bit expensive. I mean, I guess insurance won't cover chaga mushroom tincture. It's okay, I'm sure some of these stuff have health benefits. If you were an out-of-town visitor like me, what happens if you run out of your magic elixir? No worries, they sell everything online. So you don't have to worry about not having your bitter tea to balance your qi. Next door they had a cool chocolate shop. But that will be separate review. I loved my experience here. The staff seemed friendly, and they have some cool stuff. This is a solid 4 star place.

Okay so this place smells AMAZING. As soon as you walk inside you want to smell everything. However, I felt like the prices were truly insane. $8 for a TINY thing of lipbalm?! I guess they can get away with the prices based on their location being mostly trafficked with tourists

This is hands down one of the best apothecaries in the country! The selection is incredible, and the owners are true gifts to the community. Such knowledgeable, caring, incredible humans!

I used to love this place, and shopped here frequently. However, I became concerned in 2020 that they were not following state mandated safety precautions for covid, such as masking and social distancing. Now, having learned that the owner has gone so far as to question other Manitou businesses' employees as to why they require customers to wear masks indoors (as required by both state and local mandates), and bragged about not having any such requirements in their store, I cannot in good conscience continue to support this business. I feel that for a business supposedly built on supporting people's well being, to so blazenly flaunt their disregard for their customers' and employees' health and safety, is nothing short of hypocritical.There are other fantastic apothecaries in Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City, who still operate with integrity, ethics, and genuine respect for their communities and care for their health.
