Excellent shop. They have a large variety of bulk herbs. They also carry incense, crystals, essential oils, and other sprays/lotions/etc. Shop is clean and staff is nice.
We had so much fun in here! Bought lots of neat things.
What a lovely shop! Very classy yet also somehow extremely affordable for bulk herbs. Some specialty items and consumables that are pricier if you wanna try some cool new things, too.Staff is always great! You wont get any misleading advice or mansplaining here, if they dont know the answer to your questions theyll just tell you so instead of trying to sell you stuff with assumptions or lies.Im so glad theyve managed to stay open, go make a nice herbal tea mix!
Such an incredible variety of herbs, they had everything I was looking for. I was particularly impressed with the quality of the Valerian Root and Mugwort I picked up.The owner was super helpful, gathered and weighted out what I needed. I will definitely return, and cant recommend this shop highly enough.
Beautiful shop! Large variety of aromatherapy, crystals, incense, and so much more. Workers were friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely visit again!
Super cute store, great prices for everything. While I know they can’t help their max capacity limit (2 people) it doesn’t make for a very good shopping experience knowing you’re holding people up so I’d recommend you know exactly what you need before coming. Employee never rushed me though, she was great. I’d also say it felt like a lot of things were ‘hiding’ it was hard to find some things, some were in low spaces behind things and hard to see unless you’re REALLY looking, which might be hard if you’re feeling pressured by the people outside. Although the quality and price of the items are great I would just recommend maybe ordering online.
An amazing selection of herbs. But I’m mainly writing the review after receiving mistreatment. Short and dark hair woman had horrible angry energy I almost wanted to walk out. She was rude the entire time. The man she was training had a wonderful and warm personality with a smile. I won’t be returning.
Clary Sage is my favorite spot for everything herbal and metaphysical. They have amazing selections of crystals, tinctures & essences, books & gifts and especially herbs. I love their $3 7-day candles, I use them in all of my rituals.More importantly they are actively involved in supporting mutual aid in our community. The team is kind and their expertise unmatched in this area.Love this spot and the community within
This place is one of my new favorites. Great place for all of your botanica needs. These people are very conscious. Wonderful selection of herbs plus candles, oils, house blended teas, tarot decks, stones and crystals all at great prices. If your a local Craft or Magick Practicioner⛥ I highly recommend this place and they do mail order as well.
Great shop for teas, tinctures, gifts for others and yourself! My experiences online ordering + picking up were so smooth and easy. Kind people. I felt they took the pandemic and public safety seriously, which I appreciated. They had their online system so tuned and user friendly. Beautiful shop! ♡
Currently only allowing 2 people in, to protect the community during this pandemic. Its so cute inside! There are lots of options from herbs & teas, incense, crystals, tarot decks, books, and more. Im so happy to have found this shop!
Always a pleasure to stop by here! My favorite place to get herbs plus a little bit more! Very nice staff too!
The herbalists here are so very informed and helpful and they always answer their phone so i highly recommend this place
Great little shop with great service 💫💜
Clary Sage is awesome!!! They used to be my neighborhood herb shop. When I moved out to Washington County I still drive into Portland to shop there. The selection of herbs, incense, candles is top notch. During the pandemic I’ve made multiple online purchases. They’ve made it so easy to find their inventory online, pay online, and safely pick up at the store. They always hand write a thank you note on my bag. As a small business owner I know it is no small task to “pivot” with the pandemic. Getting an entire inventory online is a thankless task that takes countless frustrating days/weeks. Thank you Clary Sage!! Your staff is knowledgeable, your heart is in the right place, your shop is pure magic, and I will always financially support your indigenous LGBTQ owned small business!
I LOVE CLARY SAGE the people working there are amazing and they have the best herbs!
Impressive selection of loose leaf tea(s) that act as natural remedies for a variety of health concerns. Extremely fresh and high quality. Easy online ordering system and quick pickup. Box teas are a thing of the past. I highly encourage you to try out Clary Sage if you have not already.
Fantastic selection of containers. All kinds of tins. And lots of bottles for tinctures.Wishing them all the best during this pandemic.
Went in to find a good incense for my home. Great selection, i felt the staff was a bit standoffish but i was able to get what i needed at a fair price. Super cute little shop! I felt a little pressured to just find what i need and leave rather than staying to browse but all in all would come back again :)
Best selection and pricing in the area. Love ordering online to just get what I need quickly. Very helpful.
This is my favorite place to buy bulk herbs and tea and I often go there for last minute gifts. Ive bought rose buds and hips from many shops around the city, but clary sage easily has the best and most consistently available for my needs. their incense and golden tea mix are my favorites. the staff is super helpful too and dont get spooked or act condescending when I ask a bunch of follow up questions.I had to send a gift to someone but because of covid restrictions wasnt able to browse. I reached out with some guidelines, specific requests and a budget and someone at the shop helped me pick out some stuff and they shipped it for me! I was already a regular, but now theyre stuck w me for sure
Spent a lot of money. Did not have the nicest shopping experience. Happy with what I purchased. Filled a whole rewards card, and do not live local, was told they could not just use it that day. I felt they were kinda rude, and not very good customer service.I was happy with what I found there, and not sure if I will order online. Since they said I can nit use my earned coupon online or the one day Inwas in Portland from out of state.
Always love dropping by here. Go. Youll find something that lifts your spirits.
Did not feel welcomed at all. Its a nice shop I went there for white sage to clear my home. However the staff member that helped me did not greet me at all. When I had called about an item and traveled 40 minutes to get it they did not have what I called about and she did not offer to look for more. When people who came in as I was leaving they were very warmly offered tea I was not. Very clearly she did not like me and the contrast was hurtful. I had just got off work it was not that she was having a bad day in general it was that she treated me very coldly but the folks who were wearing trendy clothes were treated great. I think if you are a blue collar guy or person this shop will treat you coldly.I was treated so coldly hear I am still bothered by it the next day. I used to come into shops like this in my youth and I had always found the people who worked in little shops like this so happy and welcoming that was the experience I was expecting so I think it hit much harder than it normally would have.
Clary sage has been my go-to herb and magic shop for several years and i can‘t recommend them enough. the owner even has her own line of tinctures, teas, and sprays called “two spirit medicinals” that literally get me through my day no matter what i’m facing—they are extremely well-crafted medicine. since covid, the staff has pivoted to online ordering and contactless pickup, which i have found extremely easy and safe to navigate. i know you can still go in as well, and i’ve heard that also feels very safe. please keep supporting clary sage through 2021 and beyond, they are an essential part of portland and we need them to remain!!
Fantastic resource for herbs, crystals, and candles. Wonderful staff.
The workers are amazing, and good prices too!
Amazing shop for bulk herbs, remedies, magical supplies and more! They carry a line of pet tinctures that have worked well for my cats ✨
Sweet little herb shop with a twist of new age witch. They have much to satisfy the novice to advanced herbal medicine maker. I used to love the witchy spiritual vibe, but these days I feel its become a bit exclusive & often feel like Im bothering the staff in some way.
I visit as frequently as dried herbs and flowers are needed as the price and quality is superb.
Dreamy apothecary with a whole wall dedicated to big jars of herbs of all kinds that you buy based on weight. Nice selection of books on herbalism, plenty of candles, crystals, teas, oils, and a magical, welcoming staff. One of my favorite places in Portland.
Great little herb shop packed full of all kinds of tinctures and oils of medicinal plants. They also have bulk dried herbs available. Theyre always really nice and last time I was there they poured me a cup of tea to have while I browsed all their medicinal plant oils.
What a pleasent surprise! Firstly. The energy of this store was fantastic the second I walked in. The woman behind the front desk was more than happy to help with whatever I needed, and made my experience that much better. She answered all of my questions, and helped me bag my various herbs. The had a plethora of herbs to choose from at great prices in the area, and I will be back to buy more!
Clary Sages new location is bright and airy with plenty of room for all their herbs, candles, gifts and books. The staff are kind and have been very helpful when Ive asked questions about herbs. I appreciate that its a Native-owned business and that Ive had thoughtful conversations with the staff about why the store doesnt carry Palo Santo and how they source their crystals.
Amazing selection and wonderful service!
I love Clary Sage! The herbs are organized and labeled with care, the in house tea blends are crafted with great intention and the shop is cozy! I came in to grab quite a few herbs close to close and the person helping me was still very patient and kind even though I was cutting it close to the wire of closing time. I work retail and know how stressful it can be to have a last minute customer and was so thankful to be treated with grace and compassion as I fluttered about collecting my herbal supplies! It’s true the shop is small and can get busy, but there’s always so much to look at and enjoy as you wait, I don’t mind “waiting” at all! Plus the staff do work through lines efficiently while still giving their full attention to the folks they are helping. This is a truly magical shop (in every sense of the word) and I find the prices to be very fair, especially because I know all the thought and care that goes into them choosing their sourcing ethically. That’s saves me time and research! Knowledgeable staff, great products, a very well cared for shop!
Stopped in for some incense and walked out with a lot more. drove out from Scappoose and the drive was totally worth it, will be returning whenever i need more incense, tea, or cbd
Small, cute. I wasnt a huge fan of the three teas I picked, I was hoping for a bit more flavor but maybe I chose less bold ones. The person who helped us was very nice and helpful and the selection of herbs and teas was huge! Also seemed affordable to me.
This current lockdown due to Covid-19 has resulted in me having to homeschool my fourth grader while working from home. I had heard diffusing clary sage oil could help with concentration among other things we were struggling with. I found this shop online and was pleasantly surprised to see how reasonable the prices were in comparison to other oil brands. I called to put in an order and have it shipped to my house. The woman I spoke with was very kind and helpful. She quickly sent me an email where I could pay online and was able to get it out in the mail that day. I ordered it on Friday and got it on Saturday. Talk about speedy service. The box even had a hand written “thank you, Crystal” on it. I was very impressed and plan on shopping here for any oils I need in the future. Hopefully next time I can visit in person. 😊
A wonderful herb shop with excellent quality herbs and herbal products. I also really appreciate that they support and lift up practitioners that are POC. This is my favorite herbal shop in the whole city.
I needed an herbal remedy for my daughter and I didnt know where to begin. The ladies in the shop hooked me up with an amazing tea that has helped my daughter a great deal. They have an excellent assortment of loose herbs, teas, and essential oils.
Awesome selection of ritual candles, incense and herbs (holy moly the herb selection!), but it was not the most welcoming environment. I was not greeted when I came in the door (other people that entered after me were and it was not a very busy day) and the tarot cards that were on display had some weird energy attached to them. I felt like I was in someone else space and that I needed to be quiet. The girl behind the desk never acknowledged my presence, when I walked up to ask about the herbal teas and what was in them she said the ingredients were on the back in very dismissive tone. I brought a candle to buy to the register and there was no small talk, no nothing. Very bad first impression and I dont believe I will be back.
I need more money great place but the ladies are way to into me.
Just made first contact with the delightful happy ladies at Dragon Herbarium / Clary Sage Herbarium. Can hardly wait for this CoVidBS to be done with so we can browse this gem of a shop!
Unfriendly and inflexible with poor retail business sense! A friend of mine bought an expensive bottle of lotion for me as a gift. It was not a fragrance I cared for. After she presented it to me we decide to go back together after brunch to exchange it for something I would like and use. We were immediately told they do not do exchanges. That they are too small to do exchanges. They hummed and hawed and contemplated making a direct exchange with one other lotion option that was like the one that my friend had purchased just an hour before. It was not a scent I liked either. I really wanted some soaps rather than lotion and they again reiterated that they dont do refunds or exchanges. I told them that was absolutely ridiculous and walked out. They will never get my or my friends business again. They lost two customers over a $17 over priced bottle of lotion. Stupid.
It will take many many visits to actually see everything that is in the shop! Great selection of herbs and blends!
I love this store, its tiny but mighty. The owner has everything you can imagine, stocked in those shelves. Its really awesome inside and out.. Great value for whats being offered, in fact, she could definitely charge more!
This place saved me. They are the only place in the city that have the hemp CBD capsules of the best quality. Ive also benefited from their herb blends and kind service. So thankful for this place!
Great products!
The owner is so knowledgeable and helpful- I called to put in a last minute order for a white elephant party with the theme self care: I ordered a gift pack of various bulk teas for calm, relaxing, and a good menstrual cramp tea (all my coworkers are women.) It ended up being the most coveted gift and was traded over and over until the last person picked it! Beautiful vibe in the store as well.
I loved my visit to this herb shop. I just stumbled upon it as I was walking in the Alberta neighborhood and the smell of herbs was so nice as I walked down the little path to the store. The owners energy quickly drew me in and it felt like an enchanted time among customers who clearly frequented the place, as well as descriptions by Laurie of the different areas of the store. It felt like she was showing me her home. I left there feeling cared for and with a tincture that felt divined. I will definitely return to this sweet place.
Staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Selection is amazing
I love this place! Stopped in there today to buy some incense & licorice sticks but the best part was chatting with Laurie about this & that. Excellent experience 5 stars :)
A lovely little shop with lots of loose herbs and teas, very friendly and helpful staff and a great website that you can check to see if they have what you are looking for!
Absolutely love this place. The staff are sweet and helpful!! I love the neighborhood too!
I went to the shop to gather some herbs for a project I was doing. Everything was organized, labelled with Heath and spiritual descriptions. The customer service was warm, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. I will continue to get my herbs at clary sage. They are the real deal.
Lovely store, awesome people. Nice selection of natural herbs and oils with friendly and helpful people. Will definitely go here again.
Awesome quality products. So much bulk herbs in such a small place with a lot of character in a converted garage behind a home. Great prices and knowledgeable staff. Check the hours before going.
This shop is pleasant, however, I asked for a paper bag for my purchase of loose leaf white sage and the person put it in a non recyclable thin plastic bag. I find this use of environmentally degrading plastic appalling and hope that a shop providing medicine from the earth will choose a better alternative soon :)
This is a great local shop that has firnedly and knowledgeable staff, a huge bulk herb section, herbal blends, incense, rocks, tarot, plant books, essential oils, CBD products and many other items.A great place for gifts or just to look around!
Huge selection. Excellent customer service! What more could you want from your local herbarium? This place is my one stop shop for everything herbal.
The customer service is abhorrent. I went in with my two year old child and I was treated like a burden to society. There was absolutely no friendliness or helpfulness from the staff. They hovered over my daughter not alowing her to touch the gemstones in the bowls and didn’t accommodate to us in any way. I wasn’t able to comfortably look around and felt rushed. Dispite spending over $50 in the little time I was there I didn’t feel appreciated as a customer. I definitely will not be going back even though I would have been a regular customer because I love spending my money on that kind of stuff. I will definitely be taking my business elsewhere.
Didnt have exactly what I was looking for but it was a great place to check out. Workers are super helpful.
Quaint little shop with all kinds of loose leaf teas, trinkets, and essentials oils to make you feel good.
I came in for the first and now only time to order eight items and a bottle of tincture. When entering the store I saw two other people besides the two clerks. One was on the phone and the other was being helped by a clerk. I went over to the tinctures as I knew what I wanted. The clerk behind the register helped me reach the Hawthorne I couldnt. As I thanked her the other clerk came to me and asked if I needed any help. I asked her if she could write down my list. To make it easy And i asked for all the same amount 4oz of each. Even though I didnt need that much of all the items. As the clerks were measuring my list I stepped to the side as two other customers came in as one left. At that time the clerk behind the register said that I had cut the customer who was in the phone off and said to that customer youve been here a long time. I was a little taken aback and stated that she was welcome to help the customer. She said well you were aggressive and we had to help you first. 😳😳😳 wow I spent $100.35 for my 7 items, they didnt carry psyllium; and was glad too but will NEVER be back. Im sure the business manners wont change here.
An absolutely wonderful little shop with a wide variety. I wasnt there for very long but the ladies who were there were very nice and helpful
Love Clary Sage. Great selection, high quality herbs, fabulous staff
Love this shop! Essential oils & loose leaf teas are great.
I love this shop! I always leave with a big smile on my face. They always have what I need and I always end up leaving with more than I came in for. Very helpful staff.
I love it here. I stopped going to the Herb Shoppe because i got tired of being ignored. The people at Clary were helpful and took care of me. I felt like i traveled back in time when i walked through the door. The shop was small but had an old time feel to it filled with so much product. I made one discovery after another. I wont buy herbs from any where else.
I’m a pretty big “first impressions last” type of gal when it comes to trying out a new Holostic shop. Here at Clary, my first experience was terrible! The lady behind the counter had the worst “snob tone” towards me and two other customers who entered the shop. The two were actually so repulsed they put their items down halfway through shopping and left.Moreover the counter lady spoke to me the entire time as if I did not know what I was looking for and as if I could not afford what I was purchasing. I almost left mid-packaging. Walking out the door, I had a feeling my end total was a bit high. I got to my car and added up the numbers on all my bags and items. The lady had overcharged me by nearly $40!! I do not recommend and will further my purchasing at another local shop I have had the pleasure of coming across.
When I went in to Clary Sage, my intention was to purchase a ton of dried herbs to start a home apothecary. There was no one in the store when I entered and I asked to get started. The lady told me at least 3 times she would have to stop and help someone else if anyone came in. She wasnt polite about it. Rather rude. She wasnt very helpful when I asked questions....although she seemed knowledgeable. I could have easily bought my herbs from mountain rose or bulk herbs, but I wanted to shop local. I ended up spending well over a hundred dollars on dried herbs, tinctures and a few other items. Unfortunately, with the way she treated me, I wont be back. Its unfortunate she was more concerned with a $5 purchase from a passerby (although no one bought a thing during the entire time I was in there...about 15 minutes) than my $100+ order. Sadly, I wont be back.
Beautiful establishment, lots of love and compassion. Remember to smile its beautifully contagious.
Beautiful shop full run by helpful and kind women
A nice little shop. Went in for sage to smudge my burgled house, the woman was so kind. She showed me how to smudge and was really sweet when I started crying. Definitely going back.
Lovely little shop with a good selection of herbs and friendly staff.
So thankful this wonderful shop. Its absolutely incredible they are so helpful and friendly.
Well stocked and well sourced shop for ritual and medicinal use herbs, knowledgable but a little cramped and parking can be difficult.
Great little shop with a big selection. I always go here for candles, CBD, calming tea, and some local art.
Seriously great to live next to such a well stocked apothecary- the people are very knowledgeable and do a great job keeping a good and varied stock in store.
I love this place, but the process of buying herbs is a legnthy one. Although you can preorder ahead and have it all ready for pick up. It is very difficult getting around the store because of its size. Seriously, it has a capacity of at least 4-5 people, and thats not including moving around. So imagine if everyone is trying to buy stuff and each item needs to be hand packaged? Madness I tell you pure madness. Pre-packaging items would be awesome if they could do the research, or did bins and had labels already made so they could just weight it? Idk, Im not scientist, but something could be done. I literally tell every person I know about this place and they all love the store but do hate the process...
They had everything I was looking for. Clean, friendly, helpful.
Very slooooow service. Only one staff member to help a looong line of people.
If I dont have to go here, I dont. Ive had two awful experiences with the staff here. I began going here years ago in search of Tamanu oil. A friend of mine highly recommended this place. I thought it was cute and quaint and I loved the energy. About a year and a half ago I made the long drive over from Beaverton. I had a long list of herbs that i wanted to get, and I needed more tamanu oil. There was a lady in that had no idea what she wanted, she obviously had no plans to go anywhere as she asked tons of questions and the lady running the place obliged her with long drawn out answers. I was never acknowledged until I began to pull herbs down that I wanted to purchase. I was then told by the clerk, very rudely, that I needed to wait, that I was not to touch the jars and that she would be with me when she was done with the customer that was there before me. I put the jars back and waited around for about 10 minutes. The other customer was still asking questions and had yet to pick anything to buy. I had my puppy in her kennel and she had begun to get loud, so I took her back to the car and sat for a few minutes in frustration-trying to decide whether it was worth going back in. I decided to give it another shot. I walked back in and another person had walked in before me. The clerk started in on me in front of everyone, saying, I thought your impatience had finally gotten the best of you. Didnt expect you to come back. Unfortunately you will have to wait until I am done with these other two customers. (The questions lady was still there-but the clerk had suddenly found the ability to help multiple people as she was helping the second customer now as well.) Her attitude towards me was so offensive. I was embarrassed by her and her words so i left without buying any herbs or oils. I decided to give Dragon Herbarium a try, since they are close to me. I spent $75 on herbs there. They had everything I needed except the Tamanu. I only returned to Clary Sage one other time. It was a few months ago and in its new location. I returned there because I had friends that wanted Tamanu mailed to them in Florida. There were two other customers. I knew exactly what I wanted. Grabbed the oil and stood there waiting to be checked out. One of the other customers stood waiting to check out as well. The clerk was engaged in conversation with someone and kept stopping to pet their friends dog. She eyed myself and the other customer but never said anything to us. I stood there for more than 5 minutes just waiting to pay. The customer before me looked at his watch, set his product on the counter and left in frustration. The clerk still did not move to ring me up. It was then I realized that the people she was conversing with werent even there to purchase anything, they were tourists that had just wandered in. Thats fine. Im all for being cordial and welcoming to tourists, but if youre the only clerk, you cant ignore your paying customers. She finally made her way to the register, said nothing to me, put her hand out for the cash I was paying with, I took my 5 bottles of Tamanu ($40 purchase) and walked out the door. I called the friend that had recommended them and told him what had happened. He confirmed that he had recently had similar experiences. Neither of us will be back, which is a shame because we both had verbally promoted this place for years with our friends and connections. Thankfully another place has started carrying Tamanu oil and carry anything else I may need.
Great selection and service. Laurie knows her stuff and only sells top quality herbs.
Now located right on the corner of NE 29th Ave and Alberta Street! A handy local herb shop.
Great, great place !!! Great selection of herbs.We absolutely loved the lady who owns the business.
Ever since Limbo closed down Ive been hard pressed to find anyplace in town with near as good a selection of herbs - until this place. Laurie is friendly and knowledgeable, and has been more than helpful every time Ive been in.
Great selection, friendly staff, and wonderful fragrances.
Great place, ok prices on bulk herbs & candles
Great customer service and great products!
Fantastic assortment of herbs and more.
Laurie at Clary Sage cured an cystic acne problem I had been battling for 15 years with her experience in tinctures. I had tried everything from Pro-Act to Antibiotics to Micro-dermabrasion therapy. None of them worked except for her blood-purifying blend of herbs and roots. I havent had any cystic acne in over 4 years thanks to Clary Sage!
Great place.
Quality herbs. Support Native owned business!
