Today I visited Maypop Coffee & Garden Shop, and I had a great time! The overall concept of this business is very unique and makes for a great experience. I started my visit by grabbing a caramel latte with oat milk. The latte was solid. The caramel notes were not forward, but I did appreciate that it was not too sweet. The service while getting the coffee was average. The coffee came out quick, but the staff was not overly friendly. In terms of the ambiance, the interior of the coffee shop has tables to sit at, plants filling the space, and even a mural on one of the walls. Some patrons were there studying, and I can see myself coming back to do the same because it's a quaint and quiet space.
My experience in the garden shop was incredible. I spent my time making two DIY terrariums. What a creative concept! You choose your glassware, a plant, and follow the instructions provided. I also asked the person working to give me some advice. She was very kind and very willing to help if I had any questions. They have an assortment of rocks to use, both to create a base and to top the terrarium. Moreover, there are seashells and little animals to place on top of your finished product. The price I believe is fair. There's an overall flat rate of $7.99, and you also pay for the glassware and the plant you pick out. Both my terrariums came out to be about $25, each with one plant. Overall, the garden area was gorgeous! There was a wide variety of plants, pots, and gardening tools.
This is a great place to visit on a sunny day with friends and family. I highly recommend making your own terrarium if you go. In terms of the café, the coffee was good, but nothing about the experience blew me away. Overall, I had a wonderful time at Maypop and plan to bring my friends the next time I visit!
