I came here when it first opened, and almost got a chance to be FTR but I was buying gifts and I didn't want my friend to see my Yelp review before his present got there. But that's been a couple months ago so I think I'm safe.
I can see some major holiday shopping money being spent in here. Not only do they carry vegan, cruelty-free products, but there are handmade goods from local vendors (Not Made In China, for one) and just cool things in general. I also hear they've just added a refrigerated section, so now I've got to go check that out. I spied a jar of vegan hazelnut spread that my Nutella-craving tongue is eager to try.
I was able to load up on some vegan yummies for my friend who lives on the West coast, and received good reviews from him. I actually found so many things that I had trouble deciding, and I had to put back a few things for myself that snuck their way into my hands- another day, Jane. The owner couldn't have been nicer, and helped me dig through the cookies to find the flavor I wanted.
This is definitely my new favorite niche store in Charlotte.
