This used to be my go to store for waistbeads and body oils but I can't rely on this store to be open. I live an hour plus away and every time I drive here they're never open. This has happened to me at least 6 times. Each time they updated the store hours, I drove there and waited but no one showed up. It's so sad because this store is such a gem and I have not been able to find their products anywhere else!**Question for the owners:On the website you have an order pick up option but are you guys actively using this service? How can we as customers get to the products given that store hours are an issue?

Great service! I was desperately looking for a shop that sold waist beads because I’ve been wearing them for years. They sell good quality waist beads which I love, at a great price. I definitely will be returning.

I went yesterday, circling around the store because it is so colorful, beautiful, full of detail and treasure. I had to buy a necklace that gave me an instant feeling of joy and protection. An immaterial (but large!) gift of kindness and understanding came from a long conversation with the owner of the shop, whose name I don't want to misspell. Today, I wore my necklace to class and a few people have complimented, some of them insisting to know where the shop is.. and this is why I had to get on Google maps!! Go to Tafari, it's a special place.

I KNOW how amazing this store is! However I have to give 1 star because this is the second time this week I’ve came to the shop and it’s closed. I have called numerous of times and no reply. It says on voice mail they’re opened everyday EXCEPT Sundays. I go to instagram and it says the shop is closed Mon- Tues. Google & Yelp both say that the shop is open at 12 .. it’s almost 2pm. It’s honestly not fair to people who are coming from far away to spend money just for the shop to be closed with no responses back from anyone who works there. It says that the hours of operation was updated 3 weeks ago .. please fix this so that there isn’t anymore 1 star reviews because this is truly a wonderful place to shop.

Horrible customer service. The lady was very rude. Also the store was closed at 1:00 pm when the website said they were open. I came from far on a cold day to get products and was totally brushed off because she was still at home. Unacceptable for business and customers. Called several times and went to voicemail. Update your website and customer service.

This is so disappointing. I traveled all the way here and they’re not opened. They open at 12pm and the time now is 2pm. Tried calling and all of the numbers are disconnected. Bad business.

The only store I go to for my Waist Beads. Better than shopping online for beads as these are authentic since they don’t have the clasp/screw like the fraudulent ones online. These are from Ghana and the traditional waist beads are meant to be put on only removed by cutting them off.The mother/daughter duo who own this shop are wonderful and I will continue to support this shop!!They also have many authentic items from Ghana. Handmade leather bags, butters, etc. 5 stars!—-Update. Have gone here a few times over the past couple of months and they are always closed. I am going to assume at this point they went out of business. A shame they can’t update the google hours.

This is the 2nd time I show up at the shop and they are NOT open. It is 1pm right now and the hours are from 11am to 7pm. Waste of time coming here.

Wonderful Black Owned Business with beautiful clothes and wares. It’s an amazing store with a lot of cool and quality finds. When you enter you can smell the incense and sage cleansing the atmosphere. You can tell right away that everything is selected with the utmost care and made from the highest quality. The fabrics for the clothes and head wraps too is unmatched! Really great stuff.It’s a wonderful gem for the neighborhood and where I personally shop for a lot of unique gifts for my own “tribe” . The owner is really kind and warm as well as the employees. Every time we go we’re greeted with a smile, warm welcoming, and an authentic encounter. They care about the customer and your experience and hope to enrich it by their expertise and products. I always feel great shopping here. It’s worth the trip from any area in the Tristate as there is no other shop like it! Come in and catch a great vibe!

I came by the store to do Christmas shopping on my day off on Sunday and the store was closed. For the past 2 years I had purchased all gifts for my female relatives here. Very disappointing.

I’m updating my review *** last week I drove all the way from New Jersey and waited around all day for the store not to be open. I ended up at prospect park to pass the time \\u0026 the store never opened. I originally left a 1 star review because what kind of business is that right? I reached out to the owner who took full responsibility even though she is not currently in the country and apologized. I really appreciate that. I went today to get the waist beads that is so raved about and was greeted and treated like a customer is suppose to be treated. Therefore, I have changed my review to 5 stars. My apologies for the misunderstanding. I will be back !! Support black businesses ❤️

Really cute spot in the prospect lefferts garden / flatbush neighborhood. Wonderful and friendly owner. You can find a lot of awesome stuff here. We were filming our webseries and the owner graciously allowed us to use her store as the backdrop. Then to make my day even easier, I was able to find some super cool props for another scene in my shoot. Highly recommend checking this place out and supporting a local business.

A lot to like. A wide variety of \\\"ethnic\\\" merchandise - clothing, jewelry, home decor, curios and personal care goods. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. The merchandise and the ambiance encourage lingering and discovery. The type of glocal New York merchant that seems to be an ever rarer specimen.
