wellmind coffee and botanicals — Restaurant in Highland Village

After I read Caffeine Blues and decided to give up caffeine, I mourned my iced chai tea lattes from Starbucks the most. When I learned Wellmind offers an herbal “Golden Chai” made with caffeine free rooibos as the base instead of black tea, I was skeptical it could compete with my former standby.

How wrong I was! I ordered mine iced with their grass fed dairy half n half (no upcharges here for any milk substitutions either).

BOOM! A love affair is born!

If the taste & quality weren’t enough to bring me back, the shop ambience and service would have anyway.

The space is large, airy, bright and uncluttered in muted earth tones punctuated by a huge red suede leather couch centered in front of a live, sparkling fireplace. Above the fireplace, a mantel lined with books on health and holistic topics, particularly on adaptogenic herbs.

Large crystal clusters, especially amethysts (the crystal for peace & tranquility), and small potted succulents adorn the tables, counters and shelves. Still, what dazzled me most were the enormous, lush green houseplants standing in their earthenware pots along every wall like giant green sentinels, or cascading like verdant waterfalls from their multi-tiered hanging wall gardens. No doubt these are a major contributor to the undeniable freshness of the store’s air quality!

There is no drive thru, but they offer curb side pickup you can call ahead for. Even so, it’s worth it to take that short walk from the cool, quiet parking lot to the pebbled, garden-lined sidewalk and thence through the dogwood shaded portal just to let the sanctuary-like feel of this place refresh your spirits after a hectic day. You are entering a business that was so obviously this young family’s dream to create, and what a lovely, sweet dream it is. Lucky for our community, they chose to share that dream with us!

What a hidden oasis of calm and relaxation! I stopped by a little after 9am on a Sunday and was immediately greeted by all the wonderful apothecary smells giving me a wonderful feeling of peace and calm. I inhaled a deep breath and took a look around as I made my way to the orders counter. There's a good bit of room and free WiFi so I could see this being a great spot for studying. The lady at the counter was super sweet and friendly. She answered my questions about what sort of milks and pastries they had and I placed my order. I also signed up for their loyalty program (works like the 5-stars program) and was given a free stacker for signing up. The stacker is a shot they give you prior to receiving your coffee that's supposed to help your body process the caffeine better. I also tried one of the vegan cherry cheese make muffins and it was quite tasty! This was my first vegan muffin so I am not sure how the texture it supposed to be, but this one was on the dry and hard side but was still very enjoyable and the flavor was rich and yummy. They had my coffee ready quickly and I was on my way. I definitely...

People are going to a coffee shop to drink coffee & eat, & there are complaints that they’re permitted to do so while Unmasked?? The outrage! 😆

I was there earlier this week for the first time, and we enjoyed the coffee, hot cocoa, cookies & muffins. It’s a wonderful place, and we look forward to becoming regulars. ♥️

I want to learn more about the apothecary supplies they create in-house. There were many unique items from essential oils to soaps, to teas and beyond. I’d much rather buy these things from a locally owned business. 💗

Hope you guys flourish. All the negative reviews just show how insane and sycophantic people are about things they are completely ignorant about. Goes to show how ignorant the people around us really are. History will teach them a lesson Once again...
