Phew I had an appointment at Kaiser and decided definitely to back track here to check out the Oakland location. There’s a young tall man who talks so loud I couldn’t even focus on any of the items in the store or read the labels describing the items. I left immediately. The young woman asked me on my way out if I needed help with anything but the guy just kept on talking.

I had a great time visiting twisted thistle today! Being very into spirituality, healing and mental strength, this store was right up my alley. I had seen a recent review that stated this business was closed for construction, that review was posted yesterday (2/22/25) happy to report the store is open, I immediately noticed the sage being burnt in store, it sets a very nice atmosphere! The selection of the store is plentiful, lots of small-large sets of all the stones and crystals you might expect to find. You can also find tarrot cards, spell weaving books, candles, trinkets, and a variety of sages. What really took me over was the amount of infused consumables! There were drinks, lip balms, gummies pre rolls and even chocolate! All infused with natural herbs for calming/energy. However the real gem of the store has to be Edie! He is very nice and actually seemed to care about the purchase I was making! Overall great experience and will definitely be coming back, shoutout to Edie!!

Don’t visit at this time, no ability to get into shop or contact anyone at the store. Store is under construction but supposedly the store is upstairs. Don’t waste your time like I did.
