Lufka

Beautiful new store in Seminole Heights. It looks tiny from the outside but inside it is spacious and roomy. Every attempt was made to use recycled goods for their tables and shelving. There is a huge parking lot in the back (same one as the old Bali Bay) and eventually they plan to have Farmers Markets there. The whole concept of the store is to promote products and containers that are good for the environment, as well as promoting fair trade. They offer a wide selection of glass jars in different sizes, and encourage you to fill them with their bulk ingredients as you see fit. You are also welcome to bring in your own containers.I was very impressed with all the bulk home goods they carried; spices, vinegars, salts, room spray, toothpaste, laundry detergent, etc, just to name a few. They offer programs on things like candles and toothpaste where if you bring the container back in, they will refill it at a lesser price. I ended up purchasing the Lufka, their signature product, which is like a large loofah. It has 2 handles on it, and stretches so you can easily reach your back. I also bought a handmade soap and body scrub to try with it. Prices are reasonable for eco-friendly goods, selection is large and interesting, and the Owner was super friendly. I see this as a great place to purchase gifts both for your friends and for yourself.

I absolutely love this shop. Every time I go, I get very personalized service. The staff is really friendly. They have a wide variety of products. So far I have been happiest with their laundry detergent. It cleans clothes well and feels better knowing there aren't harsh chemicals in my clothing and bedding. Be sure to bring any sort of container with you! They will help you weigh it and subtract the weight of the container into your purchase price.

I love the idea of sustainable living. However this shop is not quite what I expected. Many of the products seem to be overpriced. Also, the signage in the back parking is confusing.

Love this store. V is vary helpful and fun to visit with. You should come check them out. Tell them Terrell sent you.

Such a cool spot in Tampa! I was very impressed with all the refillables available. They also hold classes to educate the community to create their own. I will definitely come back next time to fill up on some things from here and probably one of their lufkas!

Super cute place!! The owner was there walking us through our first time at a reusable store. Great experience and I'll definitely be back and spread the word. It's always a nice feeling when you know your actions impact the earth positively

A gem here in Tampa!! Amazing store and such kind owners. They're products are amazing and I love that they let you bring clean jars in to donate for others to use!

What an innovative, and good for planet store. All natural hand soaps, body lotions, herbs, hair care, oils and much more. You bring in your own container, purchase one of theirs, or can use one of their donated containers and fill up with whatever you are looking for. Friendly people there, it's a definite must go to if you are in Seminole Heights area.

Sara was great! helped me pick out some custom scents for lotions for christmas gifts, definitely will be returning!

The store is very spa like. I tried the toothpaste tonight and it left my teeth smooth. It felt like I had just had my teeth cleaned at the dentist. I can't wait to try the the Handmade Willow Bark Vegan Exfoliating Washcloth! The owner Parosh Hawaii is very personable and passionate about his business and his products. I can't believe he makes every product himself. AMAZING!
