Garden of Enchantment — Local services in Sacramento

Was followed by a store associate due to prejudice. I had to show my friend I was putting stuff in a shopping basket and not doing anything suspicious. Claims to be “spiritual” but then makes prejudiced judgments on people who don't look a certain way. Following this incident, I went to check out and the lady who was previously following me everywhere told the cashier about me looking suspicious and gossiping about me. Even though all I had was one of those hippie cloth bags that was gifted to me by my father. So if you have one of those bags beware, they somehow think your there to steal even though it's the only purse I own to put a water bottle in it while walking downtown. Continuing this, I went up to buy my items. The cashier rudely told me to count my incense sticks because I didn't know how much I put in. Then when I told her I had a bunch of 5s and 1s to pay for it she had a really rude expression, so I paid with my card to avoid the hassle. Like it's my fault my fiance makes cash tips as a waiter. However, she was somehow angered by us she had someone else check out my friend.

It's crazy how they sell spiritual items and are prominent in the community but then view people a certain way and treat with them disrespect and prejudice. I was nothing but nice to them and speaking kindly to them because I felt their energy being so standoffish. So I didn't know why they went above and beyond to make me feel uncomfortable because of their own prejudice judgment. Talk about some of the workers being stuck in their own ego traps. Yet, I do want to say Thank you to the girl who checked us out after the cashier and her rude associate didn't want to help us. You were so sweet to us and probably the only reason I have hope to come here again because you showed genuine kindness and understanding.

I usually don't do reviews because I understand how it is. But I've never been made this uncomfortable just because of the way I looked for one day in downtown. To feel like some petty thief over what? It's disheartening. This is my second time I went here and all because I had a a hippie cloth bag, I was treated like scum. But when I came here for the first time in a fashionable sense it was completely different. Take about bias and prejudice towards customers. If this was a high end store I would completely understand but this is suppose to be a spiritual stores that supplies craft, knowledge, crystals etc, and a safe space for the community to shop at then what are you guys doing and selling these things? Talk about...

This place was good it’s a cute little shop and everything there is pretty cute. But the experience being there was horrible. So my mom wanted to go in that shop so I went with her and I ended up trying to buy a couple of heart crystals for me and my friends than only costed two dollars. And I only had 60 dollars cash on me and the person that rung me up told me I had to pay 45 dollars for a couple of crystals that costed 2-3 dollars and I only picked out 5-6 and after he told me I had to pay 45 dollars I decided I wasn’t gonna buy anything because I was saving up for a trip with me and my friends and so when I told him that he started guilt tripping me and saying I should have looked at the prices even tho I did look. And then he was just like oh ur just waisting time I should have expected this from you. And then he ways just saying all this stuff. I wanted to buy at least two little things after that but I was to embarrassed to buy anything. So ya the stuff there is great and cute but the customer service was horrible and after that I don’t ever...

I walked into this store in August 1989 when I first got to Sacramento and I thought it was the most wonderful store I had ever seen. I still think this store is marvelous! Stocked to the edges of the shelves with rows and layers of treasures just calling to me. The jewelry was astoundingly gorgeous. Stones and statues, card decks, colorful bohemian clothing and accessories, divine scarves and wraps, wind chimes, crystal wands, cases of books and all things magical. But most importantly the intoxicating fabulous aroma of incense, all different kinds of incense in a marriage of sweet, pungent, fragrant scents permeating the walls, wafting through the store and out to the store front enticing customers to come in for a spell.

I love this store. Over the years I have had the privilege to make acquaintance of the awesome owners and the delightful staff. This is one of the few places I go to for that nostalgic respite and just to reinvigorate that sense of...
