The shelves are packed with tie-dye, harem pants and boho dresses, Grateful Dead patches, tapestries and songbooks, tarot decks, crystals, incense and moon calendars, plus Astria Farm hemp gummies for adults.

Local's Tip

Downtown, park at the Rankin Avenue garage a block away, or use street meters, which are free on Sundays and after 6 PM. Ask the staff to ship anything you spot in the shop that isn't online.

Locals and Deadheads have been shopping here for decades, and the West Asheville regulars just call the neighborhood Best Asheville.
