Botanica De Lafe
513 E Lake St, Minneapolis, MN
Crema's Take
“Botanica De Lafe is a spiritual shop anchored by coffee service, offering an eclectic mix of affordable candles, incense, Florida water, and spiritual bath products alongside traditional drinks in a leisurely sit-down atmosphere. While reviews are mixed regarding service consistency and staff attentiveness, the shop clearly resonates with customers seeking a space that honors spiritual and cultural traditions. If you're drawn to specialty coffee in a botanica setting with religious iconography and metaphysical products, this Minneapolis spot offers a genuinely different kind of café experience.”

First of all, as I entered the store, the lady talked to me in English, she understood me and I understood her, I'm a very spiritual person with a loving and kind heart, but don't like to be mistreated as I begin to purchase my candles for i asked a few questions and she answered me but I wanted to have a consultation just as everybody else did that came in and out of the store the other person working in the store told me that if I didn't speak Spanish that they couldn't have a consultation with me. I've been on this Earth, 61 years and never have I been treated so unfair. It's almost feel like A form of racism.How can you talk to me in English to take my money?But not speak to me to give me a better understanding of what I was buying , make it make sense.
If your looking for spiritual guidance or help this is not the place , the places atmosphere and vibe is nauseating.
Second time I come to this place and second time the lady was un attentive and her vibes are such bad energy- I tried to give it another chance and all she cared about was gossiping in the back room and then watching the television. I guess learn my lesson the first time - the vibes give you a bad stomach ache!
First off I called the store and asked about Virgin Mary pictures and the kids said that they didn’t know and hung up the phone on me. I called back and they hung up again. I called a third time and they didn’t answer. So my fiancée called and they hung up on her. The next thing we do is drive thirty minutes to the shore and now she pissed. She goes inside the store and yells at them for how they are treating customers which is so wrong in many ways and now their store has 2 complaints lol…
Loved coming here, the candles were so affordable! Including the incense. I saw they had Florida water and spiritual baths. Will definitely take more time to stop by again.
