Honestly, I've only heard bad things about Jafajems over the years, but I didn't experience any. Perhaps, I knew what I wanted, went in and grabbed them. I saw these scarves from Ghana, so I grabbed one for my mom. She loved it. No complaints from me and I'll stop back in periodically

I’ve been living in Montclair for 1-3 years now and I found out about this place not too long ago. It’s this really nice gift shop and I’m surprised this place doesn’t get enough good ratings. It was definitely worth my time and anyone who sees this review should go and check it out.

I shop at the store once or twice a year and always enjoy the merchandise and often find gifts.Unfortunately the staff or the owners I'm not sure who works in the store are consistently rude and condescending.They barely even say thank you when you make a purchase. I will make an effort not to go back.
