What a cool little market! It's one of those mom and pop places that are harder to find these days. With an emphasis on African foods and goods, they seemed to be stocked with a good variety of grains, mixes, oils, and frozen vegetables. I didn't even know you could eat the fruit from a baobab tree until I came here! I was in search of dende oil and egusi to try out some recipes. The gentleman at the store was friendly and showed me to the areas where both were located. They didn't have anything labeled specifically as dende oil they did have red palm oil which looked and seemed close to what I was searching for. I've never tried dende oil myself to say whether the red palm oil I bought was the same thing or not, but it taste delightful in some moqueca I made that day with the oil. I'm excited to try the egusi in some egusi soup. They had whole and ground egusi in various containers. I'd definitely go here again to do some fun food browsing.

Best African Clothing and Grocery in this part of AZ of all time hands down. I've been to so many through Chandler, Tempe, Phoenix, and Mesa and none have the diversity of products, the customer service, info, and advice (on the products).They also have huge inventory, you just need to ask and they can help you figure out what you are going for or looking for.And prices on clothes!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️If I see any complaints in these reviews about prices I swear ????..... TF ....Thank GOOOD they have these prices I can actually afford some new nice professional clothes! ❤️

Happy to discover this little treasure which had some of my favorite grocery items both from Africa and the Caribbean. The owner was also helpful with explaining the products. We did not listen to her advise on the correct fufu to buy and she was so accommodating for us to return and get the correct one she originally told us to get. She is very gracious and makes your shopping experience very special with all she shares.
