Most Unassuming Spiritual Haven
Green & White Grocery
The iconic Green & White Grocery has been serving East Austin for three generations as a tamale factory, corner grocery, and botanica. These days John Cazares has honed in on serving up the paraphernalia of spirituality. Votive candles, traditional medicine, and the icons of the synchronistic religions of the Americas, such as Santeria and vodun, line the shelves. This place feels lively with living traditions. You can buy your tarot cards without the weird church-hush you find in other esoteric stores. Cazares is friendly and matter-of-fact, and if you're lucky, you might hear drums coming from the back on an odd holiday.
