This place has the most amazing tea selection in New York City in the east village. I was on a quest going to different tea places walla flower power was the place. I purchased gun power green tea, chamomile tea and some sage. I absolutely love this gem of a store. read more

I found this place from TikTok a while back and decided to check it out and see what herbs they sell. I was soooo pleased with their selection and how everything is placed in very large jars. It reminds me of the Asian herbal place I've been going to since I was a child. The shop smells so good and herbal-y. The two sweet ladies that helped me out were so kind. I asked how long the shop has been around for and they said 31 years! Amazing! I was really happy with their selection and happy to see lavender is available. There are essential oils, crystals, books, products of make incense and other things you can buy. I'm wondering if there is anything available that smells good that's natural for the most part that I can put in the bathroom so that it smells good while I take a shower like eucalyptus or something. read more

My friend and I came upon this store today when walking around the East Village. It smells great the moment you walk in. What a neat place, with tons of options even in a small store. They have a little of everything in terms of teas, herbs, essential oils, and more. The staff also was willing to make suggestions and provide advice. Check them out and try something new! read more

Everything is amazing But especially their breathe life. I'm not hugely into holistic for my asthma, because it really is THAT bad and always has been. Their Breathe Life has literally reduced my need for inhalers by 95%. I am using the smallest amount of inhaler, since I was diagnosed at 6months old. It is pretty incredible. Also, their face mud is FIRE!!! read more

Love this place!! it smells amazing from the moment you walk in the door and what was the burning? white sage and the sacred space spray. OMG is so good.

Flower Power - a person's hand holding a bag of flowers - Health Markets Near Me - New York, New York

Called earlier in the day specifically asking for "ceremonial cacao". Since they are a well known experienced apothecary, I assumed they would know the difference between "ceremonial grade cacao" and "regular cacao". After driving from NJ, over an hour of traffic and tolls... it turns out they don't know the difference and wasted the trip. When I said this wasn't "ceremonial", the salesperson replied, "how much more ceremonial do you want it to get? It's organic and comes from Peru. NOT!! Ridiculous!! Ceremonial Cacao has been prayed over and completely different. Also about 10 times the price. Totally dissatisfied and will never return. read more

Truly one of a kind herb shop! They have a very, very extensive collection of herbs, spices, teas, oils, roots, etc. As an added bonus, you can find little mixtures of herbs made by local herbalists and witches for all sorts of conditions. They also offer workshops on things like candle making and medicinal herbs, among other things.  I found the staff to be very friendly and knowledgeable as they were able to make thoughtful recommendations based on what I was looking for. In the short amount of time I was there, I learned so much about the different healing properties of various herbs. I walked out with some sage and palo santo and can't wait to use them.  I'll definitely be back to pick up a few more things and try out a workshop! read more

Whoever the new owner - or manager - - tall skinny blonde woman -is she was quite brusque to me. I usually love this place. Came in and asked for 2 ounces of different herbs She said "do you want to grab the jars or should we?" No one's ever asked me that before. I hesitated. "Never mind don't worry about it" she said, disingenuously. Someone came in after me looking hipper and younger and she welcomed them a smile. She was also micromanaging the three clerks there. Hey, maybe I have it all wrong but that was my perception. read more

In a nutshell: If you're done with putting pharmaceuticals into your body to heal whatever ailment and your intuition drives you to prepare a tea or brew, why not check out this East Village shop to find out those special herbs? GOOD I'm glad to make this review weeks after making the purchase so I can attest to the efficacy of them. Early in March I ate something that was beyond the typical food poisoning as I continued having symptoms beyond the usual 24-36 hours and given it was a treatable condition I decided to treat it in the way our grandmothers would - brew herbs! So YELP told me the closest herb shop to me in an area and a lady with glasses took command on asking if I needed help after the younger lady at the register had 0 clue about what is what. Very knowledgeable, the lady in emerald glasses talk to me about the properties of the many herbs I was considering plus some extras she suggested based on the symptoms, in that I appreciate her help. BAD Although initially helpful, the Lady with the green glasses felt at times pushing products. Some suggestions were genuine regarding what the herbs were going to be used for but, other suggestions were add-ons that were not necessary. This became more obvious after I already picked the herbs I was buying, while being charged I wanted to see what else I could I get before leaving (a tea maker, an utensil, something else I might fancy just because) and that's when she started to push store-made products that I felt were a little pandering (to those of us, who uses spiritual/metaphysical language) and I didn't appreciated that. GREAT If you're an entrepreneur or executive that simply does not have the time to go to a doctor or you don't want to take drugs to heal common ailments, the use of herbs is as effective as thousands of years ago. Lemon Verbena, Red Raspberry and the Calendula flower are a great trio to deal with stomach and digestive processes ailments such as a bacteria you may caught from eating something undercooked or otherwise fkup your super delicate stomach. It calms down your digestion process and get it back to normal - read between the lines - you can also add Wormroot powder to water in order to ingest some fiber after dehydration. Drinking it twice a day (or more), this tea will take care of things in less than 7 days. Get yourself a portable tea-maker, if you're currently traveling for business, for dry herbs. However, if you don't feel like falling in the tea-drinkers-wagon, the shop has pre-packed tea with a variety of flavors so if you're in East Village, is a very good option. read more

Oh my, Flower Power! I've been coming here for years and I don't know why I never thought to write a review. I live in Queens but I make the trip to the city just for this place. I use their Rose Water as a spray for my face every single day for at least 3 years now and I love it. If you bring your bottle back it's a discounted refill. My bottle top even broke once and they gave me a new one. The staff is here is always warm and ready to answer questions. I've had some great conversations with them and always leave feeling like I've learned something. When I was pregnant, the employee at the counter even took the time once to check if the herbs I was making a tea out of were ok for me. She was very sweet and grabbed the herbs off the wall for me so I didn't have to climb the ladder. She also recommended a book for me which I purchased and loved. Lata's Herbalism class is amazing. A friend and I went when we could. We learned so much and got to taste some yummy concoctions. Their loose leaf teas are great (I like Vibrant a lot). The wall lined with herbs is beautiful and the vibe and smell of the place makes me just want to sit there for hours. The wall is pretty self explanatory, everything is labeled and you get the herbs yourself and bring them to the counter. Of course if you can't find something, they will help you. I use their bar soaps as well (I stock up on a variety every time I go). I tried their seaweed bath bag once too and loved it. I love Flower Power! read more

I still miss the chair. I also miss all the special small lines of products by community who seemed to be part of this store. It really bums me out. It seems like the management is listening to business mentors and not loyal to the folks who helped you grow your business and put you on the map, sorry it;s my perception of what happened when i go in there and those very special products are no longer there.It's like the heart is missing. still love the store but the drive to become "a brand"- while it may be good business- part of what gave it value was the community. read more

So I order from Etsy it's just expensive you don't even get enough for the money but flowerpower. I'm sold!! Haven't met the staff yet hopefully once covid ends I will. I ordered to make my herb blends to smoke. Mugwort, passionflower, hops, skullcap, lavender, California poppy. One the package came fast I do reside in Queens. 2. The amount was huge I had no idea how much I would receive I'm going to get jars I'm using ziplocks. Whoa the smoke on the mugwort amazing passionflower I'm at a State of bliss. Didn't smoke hops yet one piece of advice the brown bags are very thin I know it helps with the environment but USPS popped my hops some of it got out. No biggie but just a suggestion. I can't wait to visit this store in the near future. Thank you for coming through during this rough time. Asé read more

Flower Power - The store front. - Health Markets Near Me - New York, New York

I'm not really an herbal enthusiast but I was on the hunt for essential oils. They had what I needed but the pricing wasn't cheap. It probably would have cost about her same or even more at Whole Foods or a competitor. I asked the staff a lot of questions and they answered but in my opinion were not particularly friendly or helpful. Will see if the oils help alleviate some health issues before passing final judgment on this place. But for now, i would give it 3 stars. Cute shop, convenient location, and had what I needed. read more

Flower Power makes many errors regarding management. I have also found the owner, Lata Kennedy, to be a vindictive and mean-hearted person. In fact, the people working at Flower Power are often lax and inattentive. With so many places to choose from to purchase herbs.. I am certain there are better places than Flower Power. read more

As an herbalist, I love Flower Power. It holds a hugely important space in NYC. But as a customer, there are some setbacks: they don't formulate tinctures for you. And You can't refill existing tinctures you have. This is because they don't have a food distribution license. If you go into other herb shops in Brooklyn like Radicle or Antidote, the herbalist on staff can put something custom together for you. But at Flower Power, you just buy preformulated tinctures, single herb farm tinctures, or single bulk herbs. Good quality place. read more

Eye traveled an hour to get to this shop. My first time visiting and eye must say eye am very disappointed with my experience. Eye love the idea but the staff was very off putting. Eye will not be going back and that's very sad. Sadly this isn't the first review posted about the customer service but eye though eye have my own experience... Eye will be letting all my followers know about my experience. Lots of Ego in that shop. Very sad. read more

Flower Power is a one-stop mystical wonderland of organically cultivated herbs, roots, flowers, leaves and seeds! They sell loose herbs in bulk for making a variety of home remedies as well as herbal extracts, tinctures, pure essential oils, perfumes, salves, and ointments. When you open the door, an array of delectable, pleasant aromas waft your way and indulge your senses...Not sure what to do with your newfound homeopathic ingredients? They also offer a healthy selection of herbal books that range in topic from the pragmatic cultivation and utilization of herbs, to those that discern their more spiritual qualities. The ladies here are so pleasant and helpful, it was an absolute pleasure spending my time and money here. P.S. They also have workshops! read more

I feel like this shop would be something I would see on Diagon Alley in Harry Potter. I'm completely obsessed with all the jars full of dry herbs that line their walls! They have knowledgeable staff that are always very willing to help and offer advice. They have amazing Shea butters; I particularly enjoy the Love Butter. My baths have been transformed by their selections of dried flowers and their loose leaf teas mixtures are delicious. Love love love this place. read more

If your looking for place where you can experience the worst customer service, then look no further! The ladies behind counter did not greet us. When we ask about herbs they just pointed to the wall. Don't even bother asking questions you might annoy them and get an eye roll. When we couldn't find herbs, instead of moving from behind the counter and actually assisting us( might have been to much work ). read more

Now that I've become a little more fastidious, I realize that I can't just dole out 5 stars to love at first sight. That said, Flower Power can't get any better for what it purports to do - sell herbs. I didn't realize how difficult it was to procure fresh lavender in the city. I now know that the Union Square Greenmarket sells 3 oz of culinary English lavender for $10, and Whole Food's in NYC do not stock lavender. Flower Power has both inorganic lavender (meant for potpourri; 3 oz for $10 as well) and organic lavender (at $3 per 1/2 oz or $5.40 per oz ... I think the prices do decrease as you buy more). I guess it was more expensive than at the Greenmarket, but I love that a) I can buy it by weight, b) it's fresh, and c) it smells heavenly - the aroma has already deeply permeated my bag. And it's organic! There is a whole slew of other herbs (and teas and oils) to purchase, but I was primarily riveted by the wall of alphabetized, clearly-labeled glass jars with prices. The organization and selection are phenomenal, the service is excellent, and the store is simple and accessible. The two women who work there are clearly very knowledgeable, sweet, and wonderfully helpful. I currently don't have other herb needs, but I know I'd definitely return here to get any other high-quality herbs. read more

I noticed immediate difference in using the tinctures recommended by the staff!! I will need more soon!!!

I loved this place the moment I walked in. The fragrance of herbs hits you gently reminding you of the NYC herb stores in the 80s and 90s (I wasn't here yet in the 70s) great little mom shops like Aphrodisiac and that fabulous place in the East Village Angelica's Herbs and Spices whose owner gave me my first product blending advice to use glycerin to assist blending essential oils into a water based product (which eventually became my Ritual 1, Intention-Based Aromatherapy product). I wish Flower Power Herbs & Roots long life. Was waxing nostalgic, but I now don't have to! read more

Friendly atmosphere and the store was loaded with fantastic items! Although it's for a niche market, it was exactly what I was looking for. I recommend it to anyone who favors holistic healing, spiritual individuals, or if you want to try something new. :) The staff seemed to be all womyn which is personally A+ and what I would prefer. They even guessed my Sun sign correctly 10/10 a place worth visiting in New York read more

What an amazing shop to randomly come across. I always go to superiority burger but usually come in 9th street from avenue A, this past Saturday my friend came to visit me and I was telling him I was feeling sick and how I wished I could find an herbal medicine store as I've become plant based vegan over the last 2 years. but I googled and nothing came up. Anyway, we went about our day showing him around NYC as I slowly died in the heat with what felt like the beginning of an intense cold.. He wanted a burger so of course I took him to the best veggie burger spot in NYC but this time around I entered 9th street from 1st Ave and my god am I grateful we did that because I came across the lovely ladies at flower power and told them what I was feeling, I was advised to take Rapid Immune Boost by Herb Pharm it was 7pm I took it immediately in some water.. I took it again before I went to sleep and twice between meals the next day. By Sunday night it was as if I never felt sick. Thank you! I'll be back for more herbal remedies now that I know this shop exists, my saviors :) read more

The staff is just....yikes. So beyond off putting and not helpful. Real bad vibes from the moment you step into the shop. You are much better off visiting Enchantments down the street (if you are not looking for herbs and are just looking for spiritual goods) as the staff is actually welcoming, and answers your questions. What an ego on these employees! read more

This place is AWESOME. What a treasure trove of knowledge, herbs, organic products, and classes. If I lived close I would take all of their workshops! So necessary in the city to have herbs sold bulk. I'm an acupuncturist and herbalist. This place is an oasis. Love it, long life and happiness to everyone here. read more

I have to say while they have an interesting selection, customer service in this place is something to be improved. Maybe the girl who was helping me was an exception but what I received was a strangely arrogant attitude and an openly rude gaze when I inquired about a few herbs. There was no proper explanation and more of a "go find it yourself" attitude. A major part of working in places like this is interaction with customers and a friendly approach both of which are lacking in this lovely shop. read more

Wow! It's fun to call--or better yet--visit a shop where they talk to you like an ignorant child! If you ask a question, you'll get an answer for the most obvious fact about an item, not for what you were actually asking about. But hey, that's fun too! Don't open your mouth, just your wallet. Better yet, they probably don't want you there in the first place! read more
