The Electric Strawberry — Restaurant in Hot Springs

Five stars for a business with a big heart and holistic health! (EDIT: finally tried the salt room and please, do yourself a favor and try it. It was so relaxing with the wave sounds, massage chairs, and the comfy blankets and healing salt air- I felt I could breathe better, and my mind was in a more positive state. so worth it) 💗From the moment you walk in be prepared to be greeted by a loving soul of a therapy pup named Claire Bear (one of the owners there that day was kind enough to offer putting her up if we had a dog issue but none here!) After the lovely hello, we were greeted by William and a very kind mini-medium Lina who was very animated and passionate about their lovely business. Both were so welcoming, educated on their mission here, and quite the jam and tea crafters (jam sales go 100% to veterans). In the front you enter a very cozy shop that sells all kinds of books, salt products, stickers,and some really cool unique plushies and more. I even found a hilarious “manly coloring book” for my dads birthday. The room to the left is an even more cozy little tea and coffee lounge with a really lovely sofa and some phenomenal habanero strawberry jam samples while you wait for your healing beverage. This place has a great vibe, very healing even without trying out the salt room (which is happening in the very near future!) but William and Lina were kind enough to show us a sneak peak of the room and yal OMG! Pictures do not do this room justice! The disco looking lights you see on the internet were off and it had such a healing rose glow to the room, so soft and welcoming- I believe the colored lights are optional. The floors looked like a thick layer of pink salt that you just want to sink your feet into and escape the hustle of the day. This is quite a unique, special place that offers so much more to reiki, acupressure, readings and even life coaching to so much more. From one visit and a tea later, I know this is just what Hot Springs has been needing...

Went here to experience the salt room with my family and left having experienced so much more!! The people working the front desk are very friendly and can chat with seemingly anyone as if they were old friends. The book selection out for sale was very interesting and if I lived closer, I would definitely look more into the book club they offer. The patio is absolutely gorgeous even with it being overcast the day I went with endless decor items to look at and discuss. Kids had a great time playing outside and it felt very safe! The coffee shop off to the left of the main entrance was very accommodating of my allergies - which is HUGE to me. Their espresso is great! I didn’t notice until later, but the baristas doodle on the coffee cup sleeve. This just shows even further how invested everyone working here is in YOUR EXPERIENCE!

Parking was fairly easy and while there is overflow parking in the back, it is a good idea to carpool with large groups.

All in all a great experience, already planning to go back and recommending to...

First time to The Electric Strawberry and I gotta say I'll be going back for certain! The atmosphere there was so cozy and amazing. The people there were extremely friendly and very welcoming. Got a chance to chit chat with Jethro (I hope I'm spelling that correctly.) and he was amazing, a very open soul who was easy to talk to! I found myself spilling the beans about my life's story to him and he was a wonderful conversationalist.

My girlfriend and I ordered coffee from their little bar and it was amazing! Their coffee experts didn't hesitate when we asked them to surprise us and surprise us she did. Hit the mark beautifully with how good it was.

All in all, I recommend this to residents of Hot Springs and Tourists alike, it is a wonderful experience and they offer so much more than just...
