This place is awesome... glad to have a place I can go to for healthy natural products and great books

This was my first time here I am getting into seamoss and my sister told me about black and nobel and it was everything I bought so much from here the staff was very helpful and explain the history of the seamoss I definitely will be back.

Tremendous place. Got great books, had a wonderful supply of herbal medicines. The people that work here are incredible. They go out of their way to help you. Extremely knowledgeable.

Good Bookstore! Very friendly staff, the gentleman who assisted me was very passionate and intelligent! Helped me a lot with my internship research. My only complaint is that the store itself is easy to miss if youre not paying attention. Use the side door

One of the many unique stores south street have to offer would highly recommend anyone who’s interested in good health and would like to be around good peoples.

Love the new location. Black and Nobel are well known for bringing literature and learning to underprivileged persons, mostly in the prison system and Philadelphia counties. Their contribution to society ranges from education to healthy products. Black and Noble is a needed vessel for the people.

Very happy this bookstore moved to a great location. I found what I was looking for and more. Great selection and thry order too. Definitely will visit again and will bring friends every visit.

Was recommended by a friend to start shopping here instead of a previous shop, long story short ordered few products they didn’t have something I wanted so they gave me something they suggested plus an extra free item which I thought was really nice & I love everything I purchased .. I’ll be back when I run low

If you find yourself reading this review, just go ahead and go to the store; you wont be disappointed. The staff here is great, very welcoming and knowledgeable. Great skin care, and health & wellness products. When I run out of items at home, I dont hesitate to make the hour and a half drive from Jersey to restock.🥇

Great customer service however the price for Seaoss has gone up $3.00 in a couple monthsNot Cool

Brother Hakim, owner very nice and humble. Margo store manager very knowledgeable of different products.

One of my FAVORITE places when I come home.

Ive been buying products from Black and Nobel for the past 2 years. The sea moss gel is always very clean, and this was very important to me. I began trying other products, and now I only shop for my pure products here. Love this place!

Very helpful and informative bout there product

New to the area just stopped in to look around. Everyone was very friendly and they knew their product very well. I got a soap and its lovely.

Home of Raw Seamoss, Seamoss soap & seamoss gel. Health is wealth. Great selection!! Highly recommend

I purchased the sea moss beard glaze as well as the beard bath several months ago. The store employee was very helpful and profesional over the phone. The employee walked my items outside to my car and thanked me for my business.

I pulled up on this shop while visiting family and friends in Philly. This small shop hits hard with an extensive variety of soaps, balms, butters, oils, incense, books, crystals, etc. all with respectable price points. In fact, I was impressed!I purchased body oil and sea moss soaps. The owner, Hakim was friendly and knowledgeable. He offered recommendations.I did not give five stars because I did not like the incense selection. I most definitely think there there are some opportunities to improve the incense. I will visit this shop the next time I am in Philly.Instagram KenKooltho

Very knowledgeable and unique herbs for everything. Gold Seamoss gel is bomb! Great shopping experience everytime. Hakeem and staff are the best and treat you like family.

Taking charge of your life and very informative staff

First time here in philly I Ordered the sea moss gold & sea moss gold v- juvenate yoni blend “called about my order said it was ready. Got there and brought a few more items soap, maca and a really pretty Crystal I’m really excited about my purchases. Health is wealth . thank you 🙏 I definitely will return for more

From books to oils, shampoos to herbal capsules they have EVERYTHING and its all black owned. Highly recommend!

I’m a long time customer, and they have always had everything I needed in stock. Customer service is nothing short of excellent👌🏿

Best Seamoss, Soap expecially frankincense and Murrh. Whatever u need they got it. I cant go without my Seamoss Gold. Life Changing

They moved directly across the street from their old location, on the second floor, the entrance is in the alley directly across the street from the old location on the right hand side of the street. Very cramped space but I didnt care I needed my Sea Moss in a hurry....still good people and very polite

I’ve been wanting to visit this bookstore for a while and found my way here after some much needed inspiration. They are at a different location across the street, yet as soon as I walked in, I felt at home. They took the time to give me an overview of their products and answered all of my questions. I literally could have spent hours there in the book section. Thank you so much for lifting my spirit. I am also loving my Sea Gold lotion & soursop tea :)

Very pleasant an informative about the questions that I had for them I appreciate every answer I will be doing business with them in the future I appreciate what they door for the black community and abroad by keeping his knowledgeable of self and things that we have not known in the past and also talking about eating healthy and taking care of ourselves I recommend them to anybody and everybody who wants to be healthy and knowledgeable of the world💯

Great products, great service. Head to Black and Nobel invest i your health and wellness !!

I stumbled across the Black and Noble website this morning looking for Sea Moss Gel. I reached out and spoke with Monk who was amazing! He offered curbside pick up. I opted to visit the store instead. They have an AWESOME array of sea moss among other things. I purchased the Sea Moss Gold Gel and was not disappointed. Going forward I will be ordering the Sea Moss Gold in bulk from them when available and blending my own not to mention Ill be coming back to browse the other products offered. So excited to patronize a Black Owned and Operated Business!!

I thought I purchased a book, I received a DVD. DVDs are out dated.

Love love love this store... very pleasant and down too earth love this black owned company 😍

Great products and the staff is very nice and accommodating.

If your goal is to live long the healthiest way and this is the place you need in your life. Ask Lou and Marcus they can guide you in the right way of healthy longer living

Quality service. Good products

Pleasant, patient & very knowledgeable about products, not just tryingto sell, overall just good!! I brought the natural deodorant, so far so good 👍, elderberry syrup & of course, sea moss!!

It was a very nice experience very knowledgeable people and was able to take care of all my needs

I’ve had nothing but positive experiences when ordering online from B&N ! I live in Maryland, so my orders always come fast since they’re located in Philly. I always purchase sea moss gel from here and it never disappoints! I love the variety of seamoss they offer amongst having new health and wellness items every time I visit the site. On top of that they’re black owned business.

The gentleman who ran the store was very informative and knew all kinds of information about mostly all the products.I enjoyed my visit and my products that I purchased and will be returning as soon as my seamoss and Shea Butter supply gets low.

James was so helpful and professional-- I cant wait to learn more and read the books he recommended! Definitely check this place out. They also have soaps that smell amazing.

Love the Sea Moss

The product they offer is amazing. You can tell the purity and quality of the product. Would highly recommend.

Always greeted and customer service is respectful and helpful

I called and checked their voicemail before visiting. They never mentioned they were doing curbside service only due to COVID. I found this out upon arrival. I was visiting from NYC and staying with a friend who recently relocated to Philly. It was annoying and a waste of cab fare. I went the weekend before Thanksgiving.

Black & Nobel has a variety of things they offer you, from literature, health care items, too healing ointments. I love their products, mainly their Sea Moss, and their Aches & Pain Body & Massage Oil. Their prices are reasonable and they give you a nice portion.

Even though I did my shopping during the pandemic everything was very easily accessible through the website. Instead of having to wait for a mail ordered delivery I was able to do a curbside pick that day. Which was perfect because I was so anxious to try my new products. Again even with pandemic and having to practice social distancing the customer service was awesome. Thank you for the experience and I can’t wait to make future purchases.

Excellent place for mind body & cultural needs.

After placing my order I received a complimentary text and email. Shipping was extremely FAST! My order was delivered the next day. Thats quicker than Amazon Prime. The book and sea moss arrived in excellent shape. I gave 4 stars because I would have like to see more sea moss or at least a smaller packaging so its not as much open space. Besides that, I will definitely be ordering from Black and Nobel again. Oh, and I love that they have natural toothpaste and deodorant

Hands down been with them a lot with everything soaps lotion all my hygiene products coco paw paw and Frank soap best African soap by the pound and great salt bath and more best of the best

Always a pleasure to visit and support this Afrakan Shrine... Ankh Udja Seneb

Great customer service but I bought seamoss and I get home to use it and it has mold on it now I gotta find time to return it

This place maybe small (for now) but HUGE in inventory, customer care and the environment is peaceful but mentally stimulating!! I will be back there again when Im in Philly

Did have what I was looking for but the overall experience was pleasant

Went in to purchase Sea Moss at the suggestion of a loved one and was gifted with a bar of sea moss soap to try at my leisure. Great way to keep a woman such as myself coming in. Because its a pop up store, you need to ask for the Black and Nobel store (which is located on the left side of the building, way in the back). Just be sure to ask someone if you arent too sure that youre in the right place.

I support this place for Life..more than a store... its a Movement .. big up, Hak ✊🏾🖤💫

Loved how easy it was to pick up exactly what I needed. Plus, I loved the atmosphere of sincere niceness from the staff there. Super lovely, cant wait to go back.

One can go there and get the necessary of their needs

Struggled with my daughter’s eczema for over a year (hands and behind knees). Creams from pediatrician did not work. I noticed the eczema spreading to her face and decided to order the black seed oil (watched several youtubers who tracked their recovery from eczema using black seed oil). I also wanted a high quality black seed oil which black and nobel carries. Used it topical and internally for 3 weeks in addition to limiting her dairy intake and the eczema cleared up. The results were amazing!!!!! The eczema is completely gone from her face, her skin color has returned to normal and hands have returned to normal. When it flares up I apply the black seed oil and it clears up. She also moisturizes with Shea butter and coconut oil. The black seed oil is a miracle product!!!

I went there and picked up my sea moss. Ill let you know about that at a later time, but I wanted something to eat. On the weekends they have food available. I had the most delicious, moist and flavorful meatloaf I have ever had. Yummy!!

Black owned establishment that sells health and wellness products also they sell books and self-help information

A little difficult to find, but very convenient once you know where its located. Excellent product selection, and friendly & helpful staff. I highly recommend them.

Great products, great app, and great service. Gave them a call and James spent a good 15min consulting me on any questions and concerns I had about their products. Highly recommend them

From the energy the owner gives to the products he sells, this is a phenomenal business! Promoting health with traditional herbs and medicines it feels amazing to be able to go into this store and learn about how I can be in control of the health of my body. Prices are great and the quality of items are always superb. I recommend getting the sea moss gel to have most of the minerals your body needs as well as the sea moss soap for topical usage. I also love the healing book collection and the oils such as the black seed and pure essential oils. From shea butters, to natural shampoos, conditioners, juices to cleanses, they have it all! It’s truly a pleasant experience!

I got this sea moss gold gel off of Facebook. I cannot believe how fast it came. This stuff and this company has a forever bew customer. Thank u for your honesty and amazingly fast shipping .

I have known about this store for years and it has been magical.

Called to confirm and order, they answered on the first call and I didn’t have to wait on an automated service(First plus in my mind) Spoke to the store owner personally(Another Plus) and he not only remembered my order but had personally packaged and shipped it himself( Super plus ) All in All - Black Business Done right so far!!Will up date y’all when the products get here and let you all what’s to the delivery time, presentation, and quality of the products👌🏾Update- they on one! Loved every product. That sea moss gold sumn magical too I ate it raw with a fruit salad daily for a week and felt like a new man! And the milk and honey bath and body oil is a must for couples‼️Me and my lady been giving Rubs downs for no reason 🤣

Everyone there is very friendly and helpful. If they do not have what your looking for at that time, they will order it for you. They are very knowledgeable. They have a variety of things at the store that you can buy. Plus their location is easy to get too.

I never been to the store but I always order from their website. These guys and the products they sell are all phenomenal. I highly recommend taking a look into their successful products if youre into Dr. Sebis following. Thanks Hakim!

A staple business rooted in the global community! I love their customer service & variety of quality products. I purchase both in person & online. Continued greatness Black and Nobel #salute

Spoke to Hakim to regarding my order of seamoss. There was a discrepancy and he took care of me with class and professionalism. I appreciate the great work he does in the community and for people all over the world. They also have an app that you can order products with seamlessly and also accrues points for further purchases.

Spoke with Owner directly through a relative and he was very kind and professional, hilarious may I add, and explained what each item were I was interested in, and how beneficial each product were. Highly recommended!!!

Great books and much more

While I understand the concept of small business, and want to support black owned businesses, their merchandise is severely overpriced. I wont be buying from this store again. The man I dealt with seems to be capitalizing on the fact that many black people are starting to understand the importance of keeping our dollars in the community. Now he wants to overcharge and insult our intelligence in the process. The two stars are for the fact that in making my purchases, he caught his error in almost charging my credit card twice.

A vital Resource with committed, competent support staff. A cool place for connections.A. A. Vessup

Awesome experience. They allow small businesses to showcase themselves and there are some really nice brands in there. I definitely recommend checking them out.

From Harlem New York to Maine. I can finally get my favorite natural soaps. And they arrive so quickly! Black And Noble Is The Truth! PEACE AND LOVE!

Great Atmosphere, Owner Very Friendly, Great Assortment Of Books, Products & Artifacts. Love the new question West Philadelphia location. No problem finding parking on the street. Definitely will be back again and again.

Easy friendly knowledgeable convenience

Quick delivery. And i love all their products

I love this Shop. The owner and the employees are always kind, professional, and have so much knowledge on the products. I recommend this Pop Up shop.

Other than trying to find parking even late in the evening, I enjoyed this pop-up shop. The owner/staff were very friendly and helpful.

They are very professional they take time with each and every individual to show them relaxation and what they want to read very kind people very professional and I will keep coming back they have everything that you need from oils to natural juices and Foods or juices and everything is a relaxing place to be

Use to drive hours to come here the store is closed now only do curbside pickup so might as well order on amazon

The best! Sea moss to bitters. All natural!

A place for your mind body and spirit.From books to handmade soaps to delicious energy drinks, they have it or can get it for you.

Nothing but wonderful things for Black and Nobel. Hakim has been like family to me ever since I’ve been up and Philly. Historical landmark and does so much for the community. Much respect. Keep doing great things for the. Black community and for humanity in general.

So disappointed that this company is not honorable!Weigh your Sea Moss!I was already uneasy about purchasing the Sea Moss Gold online, but after speaking with the owner I was more comfortable. He was very informative and helpful.I was so excited to receive my product. I had planned to share it with a friend whose 15 year son has cancer and my fiancé father who is sick. Therefore; when I opened the bag I decided to weigh it to make sure we all recieved equal parts.To my surprise the product only weighed 7.5 oz not 8oz like the package stated. Now I don’t know if this was a mistake or they are skimming a little off each bag. So I decided to call.When I called to informed them of this error; I spoke with a young lady who was very apologetic about the situation. She stated that they had interns working and they might have made a mistake. I understand things happen people are human.She said she would send the difference plus extra. I told her don’t worry about it because the OWNER told me he was going to include soap plus instructions on how to use the sea moss and it was not in my package. I inform her that I mainly wanted to let them know this is not the way to due business. I could care less about the free soap, however; I did want what I paid for. Thereafter, she apologized again and told me that she would send the Sea Moss Gold and soap. I agreed and thanked her for her time.It has been over a week and I have yet to receive anything. I am really disappointed because I would have like to order more product; however, I don’t trust them!

I’m so glad they moved to West Philly! Easy to find, clean and organized store. They had exactly what I was looking for and for a good price!

This bookstore serves a great purpose to our community. They deserve nothing less than 5 stars! Keep up the great work family!

Informative books as well as oils soap and medicinal natural things.

This place is a gem! Great books of all sorts! I even had a bracelet made while I was shopping! He also ships books to prisons! This place is now 1 of my favorite places in Philly!

Great time. Great people. For us by us!

Cultural experience in the heart of Philadelphia. Lots of great books and other items. Nice family friendly learning and shopping environment.

The Salemen was polite and helpful with knowledge of the products and they work with you. You getting much more than you pay for

This Black Owned Book Store has not only books, but also natural products like soap, lotions, and much more... they also host many upcoming artist! Such an amazing costumer service and they ship to prisons!!!

A must visit for any and all Philadelphians! Very high quality products along with caring customer service!

I have never been to this store, but am looking forward to visiting in July to support a brother who has been selling books from this store. He has a speaking event at Black and Nobel. I again plan to attend that speaking and check out first hand what the store has to offer to me.

It was kinda hard to find because I thought it was its own store but comes to find out its inside of another establishment however my experience with place was great and yes its worth checking out

Best book store on this planet. IM from west Africa Monrovia, Liberia its there only place in Philadelphia that makes me feel at home home

Black and Nobel is Popin! As well as the other vendors with their variation of assortments of unique gifts and original name brands clothing from the original designers, and classic books, gift items etc.You got to check out brother Hakim new location on when I visited on Sunday two days after their grand opening which was Friday the 1th of October, they were so busy I could not get in the store!
