I love this store! The owner is so nice and helpful. I’ve been to several African Markets before and in my experience sometimes African Americans are treated differently when embracing the culture. Here, this store is NOT like that. I wasn’t born in Africa but my partner was and I’ve been around African culture for years and I love it! The prices are great and he knows exactly where everything is located! I will drive 30 mins to this location because of the customer service I received! Customer service is everything to me!

Cute store they had the cassava flour I wanted, the casava leaves the oil, the peanuts powder and customer service was great, I got the help I needed to find what I was looking for, had a great conversation with the vendor. Overall it is a great experience and great products. I am not familiar with the prices in the area but I think the prices where not high so don't take my word and go check it and enjoy their food.

I’ve lived in the Newport News area for about 2 years now. I’ve always had to go pretty far for some ingredients to make African dishes. I finally came across Ubbego international store and it’s been such a convienient discovery. Although the owners are Nigerians’ they are very aware of the diverse cultures in Africa and hold great insight on preparing many African dishes. I was looking for an ingredient and he didn’t have it, I asked him about it and the next time I went there it was there. If you ever want to explore African dishes they will take the time and help you. I always expect to learn a few things any time I visit. Thank you!!!

i had entered their store front today and the customer service was horrible, she followed me around the store as if i was gonna take something, she seemed snappy. not sure if she was having a bad day or what. I felt as if she was profiling, I understand the location. All I know that it is a place a business and every person that walks through that door is a potential customer and should be treated as one. Being it was my first time entering the store, Im justly appalled and the way i was treated i wont be coming again, nor buying anything from this particular store. If I could give zero stars for my experience I would. I definitely will not return and make my purchases somewhere else.

I was considered because it was small but I found more than I was looking for even better I talked with who was working ?he made me feel comfortable that I told him stuff and he showed me what I was looking for and told me what I did not know yet ? I will definitely drive two cities away just to shop and learn again ???

Happened to stop by today to support a small business but to my surprise I noticed that I was also supporting a brother of West African descent. Welcome to the neighborhood your kindness is much appreciated. Will be back to support your business.
