Everyone at namaste is super friendly and will answer any questions you may have. They have an amazing selection of crystals, books, incense, decor, jewelry etc. Some items are pricey but some are okay pricing. Theres something for everyone on a budget. Check them out, you won't regret it.

I shopped at this store last week with my family purchased many crystals, some were nice collections. one item I purchased was an amber that I kind of liked with a reasonable price. But, I realized when I came home, it was cracked & glued back to resale which disappointed. I think this store should do a better quality check with all items not to resale items that are already broken or damaged. Hopefully, if I visited again will see better improvement.

Thanks so Much ! And congratulations 12th anniversary!

Walked out of here, took off tag, chain broke, wouldn't return or repair, made it seem like it was my fault, said to cut off label, not take it off, regardless a chain shouldn't be made so flimsy that it could break so easily. Didn't offer to replace or repair. Said "I can't just eat the cost" so... needless to say, vibe was off and would not bother going back. It's sad because I used to love this place but lately, new ownership, it's just not the same. Also, you can buy everything they sell online for one fourth of the price. Bad form Guy.

I have been a long time customer and am even part of their gratitude program. I recently purchased a statue and when I brought it home the head fell off. I brought it back and was accused of dropping it and the owner refused to exchange it or even give me a store credit. I was treated like a criminal and there is not enough sage in the world to remove the negative energy I felt in there. When I spoke to the owner, after accusing me of dropping the statue he said that the store is struggling and that's why he couldn't give me another statue or a store credit. Good riddance bad karma!!

I was a little nervous to walk into Namaste since I didn't know exactly what I was looking for, but once I stepped inside I was fascinated by their selection. I could've spent hours looking at every single crystal in the store in addition to everything else they sell, but I was short on time and was very happy when an employee offered me assistance. Trevor (or Travis? Sorry!) was extremely knowledgeable and had an answer to every question I had, his advice was great and saved me at least an hour of wandering around and googling every single thing. I'll definitely be back!

I wanted to love this place, but, for me, the vibes were off. First red flag was when the girl behind the register was doing someone's reading so loudly that you could hear it echoing through the entire store. Shhh that's somebodies personal spiritual information you got on the loud speaker. Second, it felt super touristy and commercialized. And third the music. At one point the song lyrics were talking about how much like Satan we all are, and to that I say "I'm a child of God" so I rebuke that entirely. I always prefer a soft sound scape, like wind chimes or ocean breeze. Something with a higher vibration than pop music about Satan. Once the song started playing, I realized I needed to put my incense back and leave. In short, I want the place that I buy my spiritual tools from to feel aligned, and energetically, this place feels a bit chaotic and low vibrational.
