Probably the solution to any west Africans problems in the state of Georgia. Coming from the Washington D.C area, where we have a plethora of international markets, having to drive an hour to find this store was saddening. I think that’s why the prices are high because they know people are desperate lol.Nevertheless it has everything I was looking for from Yellow Gari, Palm Oil, Maggi, Red Snapper (EXPENSIVE), Ndole, Crayfish, fresh ripe plantains, oxtail, smoked turkey, fowl etc.
Great variety of African and caribbean fresh foods. From fufu to Guinea fowl, you can get it here. Having trouble finding authentic spices to cook that soup or jollof rice, then this is the place to shop. How about raw shea butter or pure coco butter to nourish your hair and skin, they have that too. I can go on and on. Youll feel like youre shopping in an African market. Oh dont forget Titus sardines and Agege bread, yes they have that too. My only complaint is that it is so popular, they need to expand so that shoppers will have more space to shop. Other than that, its 5 stars in my book.
Need anything african? Check them out
Awesome, love shopping over there. Great customer service.
I still shop here. They need more space which I think theyre working on at the moment.
The lady wasn’t there the husband with a black suit straight up told me I can’t help you
Good service and choice of foods, friendly staff and are fast too attend you. This is my chill spot to go to!
I actually like the store will appreciate if their service is more nice and reduce pepper in their soups.. 😊
Excellent customer service. Nice clean store. I just wish the workers in the back were more knowledgeable about the merchandise in the store. Sometimes the owners are busy with customers and other customers have questions and need help locating items in the store.
Excellent customer service, clean store
🌍 I went to store/market and did not get a chance to try the restaurant. But the store/market is a great place to buy African food. They had some very rare Cameroonian products 🇨🇲 ! I was very proud and impressed. The customer service was great, the people were nice and helpful. The man double checked my receipt before he gave it to me. I will definitely come back. & Next time I will try the restaurant for sure 😋 !
Great African grocery store
Mrs Gladys is the best..she greets you and wlcms you with a smile
They have a great variety of African and Caribbean food and things. The prices are comparable for this area, however Ive found things more affordable down in Norcross at that African store there. But this is closer to my home and it seems like they sell things quickly.
As native born Georgians we enjoy shopping at our local ethnic stores. My favorite dish includes a sauce from west Africa called shito. Honest star has two brands that are great. The staff were great and very helpful with our purchase.
Nice little convenient store with a little bit of everything to satisfy your African/Caribbean grocery needs. Prices are a bit steep. Please note that they don’t always open at their specified store times so call beforehand. Shop supposedly opens at 10am on Saturday’s, it’s 10:45am and the store is closed :) Also, as reviewer terry said, keep an eye on your items being rang at the cash register.
Friendly staff. Great products.
This store is never opened at 9am as they claim. ( have been there severally)I was here 9:30am including like 5 more cars waiting outside. Only opening now 10:50. The beauty of African ( never early) please change opening time to 11am just so we know
One stop shop. Love this place. Highly recommended for all things tropical.
Nice Afrcan store... for all your taste of Africa food supplies. Owners are friendly and the wife always asks about the family.Will always recommend. 👍👍
Nice place to get African foods and snacks
Theres a lot of stuff like cosmetic products, tropical food, especially from Africa 😀 my mom loves going there to buy some veggies, African food and some other stuff. Although its not a big place but I like it.👍
Be careful when you shop at the store at the cash register. Watch out for the lady or anyone at the cash register. They have the tendency to intentionally dupe you by ringing up items twice or three times if youre not watching. And if you purchase a lot of items that may be hard to detect until you get home or not at all if you dont pay attention to your receipt.Make sure to ask for an ITEMIZED RECEIPT which shows every item you bought.Yesterday we found out that they did this to us and we had asked for an itemized receipt only to find out when we got home that the lady rang up 21 items instead of the 19 items we found in our bags, and we didnt leave ANYTHING behind in the store. I realized that she would hold you in conversation to distract you and while our eyes were strayed to the TV in the store, I saw her from the corner of my eye looking at us to see if we were paying attention to her while she was ringing up our items fast.It was after we discovered that we were cheated that I understood why she behaved like that.I hate people who cheat others out of their hard earned money.
Variety of African foods
You can go there for all your African and Caribbean favourites. Easily noticeable when in traffic. Good customer service.
Nice owner but bad customer service bcos they never focused on one customer or on the phone.Tax on food is also not 2% and this has been going on for a while.
Nice place but DONT BUY APETAMIN FROM HERE . it’s fake & a waste of 15$
Great little local shop... lots of fresh produce and the fish is really fresh and priced well
The staff was very nice and I found everything I needed.
Miss Gladys is a wonderful host and makes shopping a pleasure here.
Nice African shop with mix variety of African produce. Very welcoming and quickly locate items for you. Give then a visits and you will visits often.
The store. Is good, the customer service is great
Nice selection of food. I really enjoyed it at first but their price are a little bit ridiculous. Not for people on a budget
Looking for good African Foodstuff... Tropical Store is the place to be
The food is usually good, but my reason for giving them 2 stars is because the people who work there are nasty, and rude as hell. I called and spoke with the owner, and she insisted that she will take the situation into her hands, and solve it. well today again my husband called, and ordered his food, and was given a time frame of 30 min. 50 minutes later when we arrived he went inside, sat for 20 minutes and came out empty handed. He was very upset, and hungry, and he said the lady completely ignored him, and tended to other customers. I am tired of this disrespect. The food is over priced, and the employees are so disrespectful to the people that keep the business afloat. I would advise take your dollar else where, or maybe you just like paying for trash.
Good old place.
Yes i love this place they have all the African food and sawing cloth very nice
The store was supposed to be open at 10am but had to wait an hour extra hour outside.I called the store number but no answer. Africans just never keep to time and this is sad. Learn to treat customers with respect please
Lots of items for making traditional African food.
So far, the best African store I know in GA. You can get just any African ingredients; ugba and orili dey there!
Nice people but check out seem slow sometimes
This place good to shop but horrible with timing, they are not time consistent, they are not prompt with time they say they open at 10am but really open at 11am, they don’t respect people’s time i sat in my car for 40min waiting for them to open stupid people
Good store to shop for African food, though a bit pricey.That’s the only store I could find within Buford and cumming for African food.
They have good food and great prices
Ok African food, there atmosphere is good, nice little bar!
You guys are doing a real good job keep it up.just love your food
Its 10:30 and several cars are just here waiting. They dont open on time., this is very poor management of a business.
Good place for expecially Africans, Carabians, and others.
