Welcome to the neighborhood! Filled with stairwells and breathtaking views of the Bay.. folks are invariably surprised if they’ve not been up into our hills. Taking the Tilden paths or Fire trails for fun rolling walks through the hills.

A diverse and wide range of herbs, teas, spices from all around. We find them very reasonably priced for our area and they sell things in 1oz increments so you can grab just what you need. We stock up on rose, lavender, and nighttime tea blends when we visit.
