Run don’t walk to this gem of a store. I stumbled across while scrolling one day and knew it was a priority on my next visit. The staff are WONDERFUL. They are so kind friendly and knowledgeable and just love to talk about their favorite items. It made my little weirdo heart happy being there.

This store is so fun!! An immersive experience. The staff were very helpful and they had a little coffee shop in the back!! Perfect spot to shop for fun decor for my oddities room. My first purchase was an eyeliner pen with a moon stamp and a Nordic fairy tales book. Will definitely be back. (They said the store changes items each season so there should be a variety of items cycling through! It was Renaissance themed when we went for the Renaissance festival)

If you enjoy antique, unique, macabre and mystique, look no further than Prometheus Esoterica. Local items from Florida and beyond, truly a must visit shop. Griff and Jimmy were both extremely knowledgeable and kind and completed the experience for us. Could not recommend more. A small shop, but we spent 2 hours looking around all they had.

It's always a pleasure shopping and hanging out here, I love the spooky and cozy vibes! The huge selection of coffees and teas for sale is always a must to browse through, I'm always leaving with two or three new coffee and tea flavors. The staff here are always a pleasure to talk to and you can see that they are genuinely happy to be working there, I've meet the owners a few times while going to there open house events and they are some of the coolest people you could ever meet! I love that they carry work from local artists and vendors! Lately, I have been obsessed with the vampires kiss liquid lipsticks from Sinister Love Cosmetics. Enough of me rambling, I honestly can keep going on and on about this place, but I'll leave that for my Instagram and Tiktok. But seriously, go check them out!!!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

You’re always sure to find something special at Prometheus. Plushies, journals, gauntlets, oracle cards, candles, jewelry, daggers, artwork by local artists, antique surgical tools… they have it all. Even tea and coffee! The employees are all extremely helpful, and quite knowledgeable regarding the more obscure, specialized items they have for sale. Overall a very fun experience to shop at Prometheus!

The store was truly a gem hidden away. And I'm very glad that I got the chance to stop and look around. The staff was fun and knowledgeable. They were very friendly and had great mannerisms. When I come back to visit Florida, I'll definitely be making a stop back and hopefully make a bigger purchase of one of their authentic oddities or carnival items.

What a great little shop! They are always changing the stock as well as the decor in the store so you have to keep coming back. The staff is wonderful and answer any questions you can dream up. The coffee is fantastic as well!

Came in yesterday. It was an absolute feast for the senses. Despite it having antique items, they’re behind glass cases and so there’s no strong antique smell. In fact, everything was very festive with Krampus imagery everywhere. The employees were so friendly, and the owners (I think they’re the owners) were so pleasant. I got some raffle tickets from purchasing some trinkets.
