Such a cute place with really sweet and helpful staff! Stopped in on Sunday night (10/24) and felt such good energy when approaching the store and felt drawn in by that alone! Really unique and beautiful clothing items, tapestries/posters, locally made candles - ended up going back today to get more stuff.

My sister and I went on an adventure to Asheville and decided to stop in for some neat bounty. The staff was super nice, fantastic to talk to, and super help. The prices are very affordable! We’ll definitely be returning the next time we’re in the area!!!

The clerk who was working on Wednesday was super helpful and just great at her job. Wish I could have bought everything in there from her. Hope the rest of your day got better and was free of drops

For sure go check it out, you won’t be disappointed! Me and my husband adore this place. Both locations are so welcoming and full of great energy. Each time we go is an unforgettable experience. Their selection of items and their superb customer service gets us every time. 10/10 recommend this store. Shop local and support small businesses 🥰💗

This shop is by far the most friendly, has the best energy, and has a selection from even MY days, ( yes kids, that means Im old. Lol). So, whether you are looking to browse, buy, or just have a deep conversation, Instant Karma is your place!I met some of the coolest younger-than me-people working in this store and though I was hot and tired, like everyone else, they stopped and took time for this grey haired old lady. Hahahaha Dont let that hair fool ya! Back to the store; whether you need crystals at a very reasonable price, candles, books, or any other thing you may find in an upscale specialty shop...you only need to visit Instant Karma!Just please, be a good human and dont pocket any items. Because Karma is swift and painful.Namaste´ ✨🙏✨

Made a trip with my best friend to this shop and the place itself was cute. But the girls who were working there on Monday Sept. 20,2021 were extremely rude and inconsiderate. My friend passed out and hit her head and all the workers did was hand her a bottle of water and let her sit on the floor by herself. They didn’t even check to see if her head was okay. Thankfully I checked myself and she ended up having to get 8 staples. The workers looked at me with such disgust and they looked at my friend like she was crazy. They were very rude and adamant about us leaving after that happened. Just remember that you guys work at Instant Karma, and you know what they say about Karma.

It’s one of my favorite hippy stores! It’s really hard to control yourself in there because they have so many cool and wonderful items. I especially love their clothing, particularly their crop-tops. The staff are chill and super helpful. I love that they are honest about their products and are genuinely kind. The atmosphere is wonder, it smells nice and it’s just a great place in general. A lot of stores feel really busy energy wise and this is one of the few places that it feels relaxing to shop. The sales people don’t have to be super pushy because the products sell themselves. 10/10

I just discovered this place recently and it is an absolutely amazing store. Im an avid user of CBD products and some other herbal supplements and Instant Karma has everything I could possibly want to help with my anxiety, mood and just having a great time in general. They have some amazing books, all kinds of different incense that are really good, Kratom products and a variety of other wonderful and beautiful merchandise. I will probably be visiting this establishment at least once a week from now on, if not every day. LOL. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable about their products and very friendly. They were happy to answer any questions that I had and even made some excellent suggestions of what to purchase based on what I told them about my condition and situation. Definitely check the store out, I promise you will love it.

We visited both locations and the staff were so friendly at each. While we didn’t buy any of their lovely items, I was blown away by their generosity when we approached the counter to purchase two water bottles and the employee said “I’ll take care of it, stay hydrated.” Support this local business!

I loved this store! The staff was extra friendly to me and my mother who were in Asheville for the first time exploring the area. They not only gave me a discount on my purchase when they discovered that I was celebrating my birthday, but also gave us insider tips on the best areas to explore in the area for breathtaking views which we definitely appreciated. When I go back to Asheville I will definitely be giving them a visit again. They also had a nice mixture of goods ranging from crystals, incense, pendulums, clothing, sunglasses and more. If you have a bohemian/ vintage sense of style then this a store you would most definitely want to check out.

I first visited here the day after my birthday. The gentleman that worked that night even bought me a birthday present, after I had already made a purchase as he was closing. Yeah, this place is getting 5 stars from me, I dont even care about disclosing my bias!That kind of customer service should be recognized, & certainly not forgotten. Thank you for making my birthday a little bit better, sir, & again for politely enforcing COVID measures with your customers. Much appreciated!

Instant Karma was by far the best store we went to while my boyfriend and I stayed in downtown Asheville. The prices are fair and the products are amazing! Jerry was amazing and super helpful and helped us find a great new tapestry for our apartment. I’m very thankful we got the chance to see this place and can’t wait to come back and visit again!!!

Have you ever walked into a place and found yourself taking a deep breath and thinking I am home? Well that is the way I felt when my boyfriend and I walked into Instant Karma. The people ( Jess, Sirena and Lexy) and the vibe there are off the charts. I could spend a day in this shop or just move in. I purchased so many cool things. *** When you go, make sure you look at their tapestries WITH the 3-D glasses on. *** I will definitely be going back. I LOVE you guys!!!

Great place to get a gift for a friend, or yourself! This is the Asheville hippie store, so if youre visiting Asheville, youre going to want to check it out! CBD products are popular here as well as 3D tapestries, clothing, jewelry, bodycare, and crystals. Both the downtown and west locations have Tarot and psychic readers all week long. The staff is very helpful and knowledgable with any questions you have. Its a one-stop-shop!
