Browsers can sip tea and meander through this new age bookstore that carries an array of mind, body and spirit books and accessories, from acupuncture to Zen and affirmations to yoga.
Books, candles, incense, gifts, statues...you name it and they have it! Looking for that "alternative book"--they probably have it! Gifts, jewelry and a tea room! They also offer classes.

The Himalayan Bazaar - a little bit of the Himalayas in Ann Arbor. We are a fair trade, retail store, featuring a wide variety of gifts from Nepal, Tibet & India, including singing bowls, jewelry, Buddhist and Hindu statues and artifacts, monastery wall hangings, yoga accessories, prayer malas, wool hats, scarfs, bags, wool shawls, Pashmina shawls, Tapestry, women clothing, Man clothing, incenses, prayer flags and more. We also organize and lead tours trekking in the Himalayas in Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan.
My wife and I were traveling through on our anniversary and stopped at this shop. The sales clerk was very friendly and the shop is well maintained and organized. It can be a little pricy but my understanding is that everything is imported from the Himalayas so that’s understandable. There’s a lot of really cool stuff here though and the woman we spoke with was very informative about what everything is. Highly recommend stopping here if you’re in the area!

There’s nothing like the energy of a college town, and our Ann Arbor store is living proof. Whether you’re a Wolverine, Spartan, or (dare we say?) Buckeye, you’ll love the cool vibe of this great location near the University of Michigan campus. Wander through this beautiful historic building and fill your basket with all things cherry from the Grand Traverse Region! We offer over 200+ cherry products including salsas, chocolate covered cherries, cherry nut mixes, salsas, and more!
They have most of their products out for you to try ( and suck you into buying because they are so good!) The salsa is a must try! It is amazing!
