APOTHEC

This was a very cute shop selling cosmetic, home decor , and tea. I got the Venus latte ($9) and it was made in about 7 minutes. The jasmine tea flavor was great and wasn't overpowered by the other sweeteners. The inside cafe portion was great and they even had some teas to sample. I quite shocked at how much I really enjoyed this experience. I'd definitely come back!Drink (50%): 8.5Staff/service(25%): 8.0Value(25%): 6.5Overall: 7.9/10

Thank you for the lovely staff at APOTHEC for welcoming us with such warmth! From the thoughtfully curated restorative libation menu to the overall atmosphere and lush sensory experience, you can tell that the staff and owners approach each detail of the space with care and intention. In terms of drinks, we tried the Sri Lanka Chai (I loved the mango simple syrup) & the Venus-- I highly recommend both and loved them for being just the right amount of sweet. I am looking forward to returning one day soon to attend some of the atelier classes (their make-your-own-journal events stood out to me especially) and to possibly purchase some of their perfumes and other fun accoutrements!

I really had a wonderful experience upon my first visit. I don't know how I happened upon the shop online but I'm a tea fiend so on a quick jaunt to Richmond, I knew I had to spend time here. I stopped by with time to kill, prior to catching the train back to DC.Holly is a gem! She walked me thru the menu and offered great input regarding offerings.I decided on the Sri Lanka Chai and posted up to get some work done. They have seating available along with wifi. Perfect! There's the retail store on one side and the tea bar on the other which I found out, hasn't even been open a year. They have an AMAZING tea collection which is their own brand. And teas on tap! I've been to tea houses in London and stateside, never even heard of tea on tap! Its also a perfumery with amazing products. They offer classes. The scents that waft thru are amazing and it was easy to stay put. So warm and inviting with a fantastic playlist. Picture Sade,Joni Mitchell, Nina Simone. Holly and I talked about everything from Parenting to careers, astrology and more! I hope to return soon for an event and more shopping.Oh and the gluten free love cake and the honey and fig, are amazing. I couldn't decide on one so got a slice of both.

Discovered this little gem while killing time between appointments near Libbie and grove. It's actually two shops in one offering perfumes and body care on one side and mostly tea, pastries and a little coffee on the other and some unique items that would make great gifts. Despite the Richmond water troubles they brewed up a delicious cup of Captain Cocoamint tea (with bottled water) while I browsed their many goods. I also enjoyed the lovely table near the window while I drank my tea.

As soon as you enter the store, your senses awaken to the delightful aromas. In the front area, a sign encourages customers to wash hands before shopping. The left side showcases indulgent body care products like body wash, lotion, hand wash, perfumes, facial items, and home goods like candles and room spray. The right side features a beverage bar with refreshing drinks and carytown teas. The Lavender Tonka body wash and lotion was my favorite sense! I picked up the body wash, lotion, a perfume, and a skin care item. Although the handcrafted, all-natural products come at a premium price, their unparalleled quality makes them well worth it. I visited their website, after shopping, which revealed the store also offers massages, tarot readings, facials, and workshops.

If you wanna have a unique experience where you create perfumes, will you sample different teas and a really cool environment come here. If you're looking for a cheap experience, this is not the place but stuff look like quality. They are Cary Tea and they even have some iced teas on tap so they have a sparkle to them.

What a lovely and peaceful time at Apothec. The staff was very knowledgeable about their menu, and was happy to teach us about the history of the teas. Absolutely loved the fact that there are samples especially because I'm a beginner. The sassafras tango kombucha mocktail was a must have for someone easing into tea, and the Persian love cake was a delightful gluten free surprise!

I haven't tried the products sold here yet, but it always smells great! I appreciate the lack of harsh lighting. It adds to the calm atmosphere.I always enjoy the coffee and tea! Lots of comfortable seating indoor and outdoor.

Everything about Apothec is enchanting. If you're allured by the facade, wait until you enter the establishment! When you walk in you're enveloped by a delightful smell. Apothec has something for every sense. Smell the perfumes and candles. Taste their delicious healing drinks. Listen to the sounds of the employees grinding herbs. Look at all the beautiful designs and products. And be touched by what you find and experience here.I love bringing friends here for drinks. My absolute favorite drinks are their hot chocolates during winter. They mix fun things like ginger and turmeric into the cocoa. They also offer kombucha, mocktails, and lemonades. The menu changes with the season and is worth a visit for each one.Both the employees and atmosphere here are extremely pleasant. If I could, I would spend hours here. They also offer facials, massages, and other spa services here. I'm hoping to try one in the near future.

Amazing apothecary! So many items to choose from. Soaps, herbs, teas, perfumes, anything you can think of they have it! They also have additional services like massages and other things. Loved the holistic bar and the owner is super sweet. Looking forward to them expanding and checking out the space!
