Super cute store! Very unique items from the books, gifts, little trinkets, incense, etc… I love the vibe this place gives off! The only reason I gave three stars is the staff is not attentive at all. I browsed the store for a good 15 - 20 minutes and not one staff member acknowledged I was even there, so with out buying the things I had picked out to purchase I put them back and walked out. Personal opinion but metaphysical stores should be more personable considering the things you sell in your store… it’s a craft of vibes and energies, so when you don’t give that off to your customers then it’s not the place for me! But really is a very unique store!
The Golden Braid is a very lovely bookstore, with helpful and friendly staff. There are lots of unique gift options and book suggestions. I loved the staff suggestions' bookshelf. I would love to give them 5 stars; however, I was disappointed today where I bought a book which rang up for much more than the published price. To explain, the price on the back was £12.99 British pounds, which I estimated to be somewhere around $15 USD. When the book rang up as $22.95, I was surprised. I pointed out the £12.99 on the back and they said "it must have been the price we bought it at". I didn't have time to ask for more information also didn't want to be a Karen, and already promised the book to my teenager, standing with me as I bought the book. I would be happy to update the review if I'm mistaken or missed the price tag on the shelf. On first impressions, however, it makes me think twice about going back.
Amazing little shop with gifts and books your just not likely to find anywhere else. Store has a groovy vibe.
Loved this shop. SO MANY good books, just sad that I don't have enough room in my luggage to take all them home They also have a nice selection of scented candles and body products, and jewelry. Not very many tarot decks, but most of the ones they do have are ones I hadn't seen/heard of until now.
Great selection of books Very helpful Staff Great order and yen knows how hard to get books Like doctor Joel Dee Wallace rare Earth forbidden cures dead doctors don't lie Let's play herbal doctor Plenty on Nicola Tesla And Alister Crowley Alchemy Also Astrotheology
Cool, groovy, I love the outdoor cafe area too. Bought me some books, a shampoo bar, and some local yummy Salt Lake made "The Chocolate Conspiracy" chocolate Blackberry Ginger Chocolate Bar. Would like to get some nice smelling small candles too - I'll save that for another day though. The staff were helpful.
Favorite bookstore by far, I could spend hours there. And the tarot readers are incredible!
A total nostalgic spot for us. I used to visit here when I was younger. Not much has changed. Still a great book store if you are into spiritual books, and rare gifts dealing with zodiac.
I really enjoy this store, have been a couple times over the years. The products support local and small businesses. I also really like the selection of books. The main genres are self improvement, spirituality, children's books, and non fiction. They also do tarot readings and have an array of incense and smudging tools. The people have always been very kind. I will continue to be a patron here :
Trying to conceive of this places business model baffles me. I can’t see how it makes any money whilst having practically zero supply of books to choose from
