Reviews of Black and Nobel

Krystal Latane

Good Evening Google Family! I was excited about visiting Black and Nobel, after my sister friend, Cara told me about it. I inquired of a place where a seamstress could sew my original design T-shirt. Then Cara told me about Black and Nobel. I had heard of it before. I had seen it in a newspaper advertising the products and I knew it identified as black-owned and woman led. I took my shirt with me and showed it to Margo, the owner. I am following her on Instagram. I had called her prior to my visit. I found her on Google and also Cara gave me her phone number. I wasn't thrilled about venturing to South Street because of the dreadful parking situation. I was pleasantly surprised that they now have zone labels. I was so happy because I could use my Meter app and would not have to worry about the meter maid giving me a ticket. The Meter App is a godsend!! If you are not using it, then you should. I highly recommend it!! I parked in the Zone separation, but before that I had gone to 411 South Street, and Margo informed me that they ship out of that location. The shop is located at 422 South Street. Anyway, I was pleasantly delighted by Margo's shop and I asked if I could snap photos. Margo pleasantly obliged and I snapped away. I explained to Margo that I was a Goggle guide and I have been reviewing places for a minute. Margo's shop is full of soaps, products for the hair and skin care products. Margo also has books for sale. I showed Margo the shirt and she said she knew someone who does make clothes and she was going to get in touch with them for me.. I bought a container of organic garlic oil and ginger with onion extracts for grow and edge treatment pomade. I paid $8.26 for the oil. See enclosed for photo. I am hoping that we stay in touch. Margo had a small truck outside with her store name on it. Margo is a very unique individual. I can tell that she is passionate about her business and uses the tools that are available to her. A great visit experience. I will return and tell a friend or two.

I passed by this store on a quick tour of the city. Great products and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend visiting when you're in Philly.

N. Dorsey (Nail Chick 420)

The sweet aromatic smell of all Natural Soaps entices you in!! As you enter the back the bookstore and all the all Natural items are Fantastic!! I'll definitely purchase more!

T Y

Love this store! Stopped in while on South St & will definitely be back! So many options & employees are so friendly! Their homemade Shea butter for body/hair is the best; many different scents to choose from! Many other products to choose from also!

Amalia M. Thomas- Barnes

I walked in here by chance and the atmosphere was immaculate. The two associates were helpful and informative and were knowledgeable about the products. We bought a few soaps and body lotion (Coco Paw Paw), this lotion smells so good and feels amazing on my skin!!!

Floyd Williams

Black and Nobel is my go to and trusted place for my mind and body. The business is so replete with a variety of items, that I am to fulfill all of my needs there. Rather its herbs, bitters, crystals raw and wire wrapped jewelry. The customer service mixed the camaraderie always make me lost in time. I come for the items, but I stay for the brotherhood and the bond. The kindred spirit and the customers too do truly add to the ambience. I have been patronizing for 10 years strong. By mail or in person excellence has been my experience. What really speaks to me is the sense of money not being of import and the mission and sense of purpose surrounding the people and culture.

Shomari G

You heard of Barnes and Noble - this is Black and Noble. Good selection of books and personal care items. Their lotions are on point. Salute!

Gwendolyn Mickens

All the Kings in the store were so very pleasant and knowledgeable about all the books and it’s content. Decided to make it a monthly activity for my son who is 5. He really loved the store. Thanks to all the Kings who were so nice to my son…. See you all next month.

Makenzy Portney

Really enjoyed my shopping experience and the staff is very kind and inviting. I haven't tried the product yet but I know my soap smells delicious! Will come again next time I visit the area.

Maya Holmes

I absolutely love this place! You don’t get too many black owned businesses that provide quality health and wellness products. I love everything they have from their soaps down to the fact that they carry different educational books. Everytime I come here I have to stop myself from spending all my money on too many items lol. Definitely a place worth bragging about. Hakim and Sage bring a sense of security, politeness, openness, and information worth experiencing. So glad we found this place years ago.

Dez Morris

Hakeem and Jimmy always take care of me when I stop by! They always treat their customers with respect, and are very knowledgeable about all of their products!

Ariel Nelson

Wonderful owners /employees and great products! So glad we stumbled across your store! We’ll be back! Thank you for your attentive service and your commitment to wellbeing!

Jeci Lin

I love shopping here. It's professional & friendly. I always get calls & updates on out of stock items. & everything smells clean. + it's Effective.

George Goodblood

staff are very helpful, informative and knowledgeable. I plan on purchasing more items from this community based shop.

Bleek Jordan

Best place to get essentials and everything is great. Everyone is cool as can be. Very helpful

Taliah Muhammad

Home of Raw Seamoss, Seamoss soap & seamoss gel. Health is wealth. Great selection!! Highly recommend

Internet Sage

Proudly shopping both online and in store for years. Always have and will continue to do so!

Morgan Darrah

Been here twice now and both times were delightful. So happy to have an affordable, family-owned, all-natural cosmetics spot to visit in Philly. Their marketing is great - glancing in at all the vibrantly colored bottles is what drew me in the first time, shortly before one of the owners who saw me looking greeted us with a “come on in hun, everything is all natural!” The whole family is very welcoming and helpful. It’s also super cool that they sell books and handmade jewelry too. I hope eventually they can expand their skincare inventory to include facial products as well, even though some of their products you can use on your face. Shea butter, which is in most (if not all) of their creams, can break some people out so I haven’t used anything on my face. I hope eventually they can start getting in some non-shea butter products specifically for the face, maybe some jojoba or hemp seed moisturizers & such. But overall it’s really a neat spot. Products are affordable and great quality. I’m finding that they last me a long time for what I pay for them. Really looking forward to stopping in here each time I’m in the area.

Ahmika Richards

Loved it here, the *presumably* owner was so friendly!

Mai Iam

Love, love, love this store! It’s not just the book collections, but also the experts in music and culture and the guest speakers and writers. Staff members are patient, attentive and wise, as well as excellent observers. Whether you’re shopping or reading, you feel the peace. They way they treat everyone is special , but as a black woman, it feels even more special because they refer to you as Queen no matter who you are or your appearance. I recommend this place.

dmcal03

If you find yourself reading this review, just go ahead and go to the store; you won't be disappointed. The staff here is great, very welcoming and knowledgeable. Great skin care, and health & wellness products. When I run out of items at home, I don't hesitate to make the hour and a half drive from Jersey to restock.🥇 …

McKinley Roseby

I love the products that Ive gotten. The beard and shea butters are top quality. I will always support. I gotten soaps, seamoss, tea, etc. Place is awesome on customer service.

Jason

Love this place. Great soaps and lotions.

James Flanagan

Good Bookstore! Very friendly staff, the gentleman who assisted me was very passionate and intelligent! Helped me a lot with my internship research. My only complaint is that the store itself is easy to miss if you're not paying attention. Use the side door

OWEN GUISCHARD

One of the best places to get the freshest and super clean Golden Seamoss in Philadelphia they On Market st. And they make their own Soap wit real herbs & Gold yes real Gold Transforms your Bathroom into field of relaxing Energy. WOW ! Nobody does it Better 🔥

Isreal Cunningham

If your goal is to live long the healthiest way and this is the place you need in your life. Ask Lou and Marcus they can guide you in the right way of healthy longer living

Kmianni Ali

I've been buying products from Black and Nobel for the past 2 years. The sea moss gel is always very clean, and this was very important to me. I began trying other products, and now I only shop for my pure products here. Love this place!

Michael Jannicelli

Tremendous place. Got great books, had a wonderful supply of herbal medicines. The people that work here are incredible. They go out of their way to help you. Extremely knowledgeable.

April Johnson

I’ve been wanting to visit this bookstore for a while and found my way here after some much needed inspiration. They are at a different location across the street, yet as soon as I walked in, I felt at home. They took the time to give me an overview of their products and answered all of my questions. I literally could have spent hours there in the book section. Thank you so much for lifting my spirit. I am also loving my Sea Gold lotion & soursop tea :)

Christine Smiley

I stumbled across the Black and Noble website this morning looking for Sea Moss Gel. I reached out and spoke with Monk who was amazing! He offered curbside pick up. I opted to visit the store instead. They have an AWESOME array of sea moss among other things. I purchased the Sea Moss Gold Gel and was not disappointed. Going forward I will be ordering the Sea Moss Gold in bulk from them when available and blending my own not to mention I'll be coming back to browse the other products offered. So excited to patronize a Black Owned and Operated Business!!

Dede Queen

I’ve had nothing but positive experiences when ordering online from B&N ! I live in Maryland, so my orders always come fast since they’re located in Philly. I always purchase sea moss gel from here and it never disappoints! I love the variety of seamoss they offer amongst having new health and wellness items every time I visit the site. On top of that they’re black owned business.

JDM JDM

I purchased the sea moss beard glaze as well as the beard bath several months ago. The store employee was very helpful and profesional over the phone. The employee walked my items outside to my car and thanked me for my business.

Kenny Blaaq

I pulled up on this shop while visiting family and friends in Philly. This small shop hits hard with an extensive variety of soaps, balms, butters, oils, incense, books, crystals, etc. all with respectable price points. In fact, I was impressed! I purchased body oil and sea moss soaps. The owner, Hakim was friendly and knowledgeable. He offered recommendations. I did not give five stars because I did not like the incense selection. I most definitely think there there are some opportunities to improve the incense. I will visit this shop the next time I am in Philly. Instagram KenKooltho

Jo

After placing my order I received a complimentary text and email. Shipping was extremely FAST! My order was delivered the next day. That's quicker than Amazon Prime. The book and sea moss arrived in excellent shape. I gave 4 stars because I would have like to see more sea moss or at least a smaller packaging so its not as much open space. Besides that, I will definitely be ordering from Black and Nobel again. Oh, and I love that they have natural toothpaste and deodorant

Tiara Willis

From the energy the owner gives to the products he sells, this is a phenomenal business! Promoting health with traditional herbs and medicines it feels amazing to be able to go into this store and learn about how I can be in control of the health of my body. Prices are great and the quality of items are always superb. I recommend getting the sea moss gel to have most of the minerals your body needs as well as the sea moss soap for topical usage. I also love the healing book collection and the oils such as the black seed and pure essential oils. From shea butters, to natural shampoos, conditioners, juices to cleanses, they have it all! It’s truly a pleasant experience!

Melanin Queen

First time here in philly I Ordered the sea moss gold & sea moss gold v- juvenate yoni blend “called about my order said it was ready. Got there and brought a few more items soap, maca and a really pretty Crystal I’m really excited about my purchases. Health is wealth . thank you 🙏 I definitely will return for more …

Rafeek Oliver

My experience here was good & excellent customer service

Jeff Harris

Very knowledgeable and unique herbs for everything. Gold Seamoss gel is bomb! Great shopping experience everytime. Hakeem and staff are the best and treat you like family.

Jai’s Sweet Treats

Even though I did my shopping during the pandemic everything was very easily accessible through the website. Instead of having to wait for a mail ordered delivery I was able to do a curbside pick that day. Which was perfect because I was so anxious to try my new products. Again even with pandemic and having to practice social distancing the customer service was awesome. Thank you for the experience and I can’t wait to make future purchases.

Judi Jones

Pleasant, patient & very knowledgeable about products, not just tryingto sell, overall just good!! I brought the natural deodorant, so far so good 👍, elderberry syrup & of course, sea moss!! …

juice smith

Called to confirm and order, they answered on the first call and I didn’t have to wait on an automated service(First plus in my mind) Spoke to the store owner personally(Another Plus) and he not only remembered my order but had personally packaged and shipped it himself( Super plus ) All in All - Black Business Done right so far!! Will up date y’all when the products get here and let you all what’s to the delivery time, presentation, and quality of the products👌🏾 Update- they on one! Loved every product. That sea moss gold sumn magical too I ate it raw with a fruit salad daily for a week and felt like a new man! And the milk and honey bath and body oil is a must for couples‼️Me and my lady been giving Rubs downs for no reason 🤣

mahdi bey

Judy Hampton

Beyond friendly, great products and selection

RealityMusicCo

Love the new location. Black and Nobel are well known for bringing literature and learning to underprivileged persons, mostly in the prison system and Philadelphia counties. Their contribution to society ranges from education to healthy products. Black and Noble is a needed vessel for the people.

the Fire Lotus

The gentleman who ran the store was very informative and knew all kinds of information about mostly all the products. I enjoyed my visit and my products that I purchased and will be returning as soon as my seamoss and Shea Butter supply gets low.

tyler daly

Was recommended by a friend to start shopping here instead of a previous shop , long story short ordered few products they didn’t have something I wanted so they gave me something they suggested plus an extra free item which I thought was really nice & I love everything I purchased .. I’ll be back when I run low

Latasha Dale

Went in to purchase Sea Moss at the suggestion of a loved one and was gifted with a bar of sea moss soap to try at my leisure. Great way to keep a woman such as myself coming in. Because it's a pop up store, you need to ask for the Black and Nobel store (which is located on the left side of the building, way in the back). Just be sure to ask someone if you aren't too sure that you're in the right place.

Miss. K Lily

Very happy this bookstore moved to a great location. I found what I was looking for and more. Great selection and thry order too. Definitely will visit again and will bring friends every visit.

Princetta Wilson

Black & Nobel has a variety of things they offer you, from literature, health care items, too healing ointments. I love their products, mainly their Sea Moss, and their Aches & Pain Body & Massage Oil. Their prices are reasonable and they give you a nice portion.

Nicole Molino

James was so helpful and professional-- I can't wait to learn more and read the books he recommended! Definitely check this place out. They also have soaps that smell amazing.

Lakia Cottom

This was my first time here I am getting into seamoss and my sister told me about black and nobel and it was everything I bought so much from here the staff was very helpful and explain the history of the seamoss I definitely will be back.

Clove Bullitt

Carolyn Bates

I went there and picked up my sea moss. I'll let you know about that at a later time, but I wanted something to eat. On the weekends they have food available. I had the most delicious, moist and flavorful meatloaf I have ever had. Yummy!!

Yochanan Bey

Spoke to Hakim to regarding my order of seamoss. There was a discrepancy and he took care of me with class and professionalism. I appreciate the great work he does in the community and for people all over the world. They also have an app that you can order products with seamlessly and also accrues points for further purchases.

Charmaine Smith

From books to oils, shampoos to herbal capsules they have EVERYTHING and it's all black owned. Highly recommend!

NeedISay Moore

New to the area just stopped in to look around. Everyone was very friendly and they knew their product very well. I got a soap and it's lovely.

Ezram Agillo

I never been to the store but I always order from their website. These guys and the products they sell are all phenomenal. I highly recommend taking a look into their successful products if you're into Dr. Sebis' following. Thanks Hakim!

JD Bailey

I called and checked their voicemail before visiting. They never mentioned they were doing curbside service only due to COVID. I found this out upon arrival. I was visiting from NYC and staying with a friend who recently relocated to Philly. It was annoying and a waste of cab fare. I went the weekend before Thanksgiving.

Essiebaby

This "Black Owned Book Store" has not only books, but also natural products like soap, lotions, and much more... they also host many upcoming artist! Such an amazing costumer service and they ship to prisons!!!

Barry Young

Awesome books and other products, such as sea moss gummies.

Mrs J

They moved directly across the street from their old location, on the second floor, the entrance is in the alley directly across the street from the old location on the right hand side of the street. Very cramped space but I didn't care I needed my Sea Moss in a hurry....still good people and very polite

Anthony Phoenix

I have never been to this store, but am looking forward to visiting in July to support a brother who has been selling books from this store. He has a speaking event at Black and Nobel. I again plan to attend that speaking and check out first hand what the store has to offer to me.

Myra L Walker-Williams

I'm so angry the original bookstore is gone. It is now a book case inside a clothing store. I wanted AA fiction books and I didn't see any. Although there are plenty of books concerning our health. I'm sorry I couldn't visit their AA bookstore.

Bleu Pablo

Nothing but wonderful things for Black and Nobel. Hakim has been like family to me ever since I’ve been up and Philly. Historical landmark and does so much for the community. Much respect. Keep doing great things for the. Black community and for humanity in general.
