Absolutely loved our tea tasting experience at Mama Wang's Pantry this past Saturday! From the…read moremoment we arrived, everything felt warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully put together, but the true highlight was Mama Wang herself. Mama Wang was incredible--so passionate, energetic, and genuinely excited to share her knowledge. You could tell she knew the tea inside and out. She explained everything in such an engaging and easy-to-understand way, and her love for tea really shined through. She made us feel comfortable, cared for, and completely immersed in the experience. The tea itself was wonderful, and the entire tasting felt special and memorable thanks to Mama Wang's dedication and hospitality. Highly recommend this experience if you're looking for something unique and meaningful. We'll definitely be back!

Inside, they have a smaller setup but are packed with lots of amazing teas that you can smell. They have a wide range of flavors and I spent a good amount of time smelling everything before making my selection. Prices are very fair for the quality of tea you can get and all of the staff are very warm and welcoming. I would definitely recommend checking this spot out for any tea lovers or those looking to incorporate more tea drinking into their lifestyle!

After online research, this small business was recommended for a wide variety of spices, balsamic vinegars and it didn't disappoint. Was warmly greeted, walked into a beautiful small shop loaded with things you won't find elsewhere! Enjoyed not being rushed or pressured. My experience was like winning the lottery! The owner was incredibly knowledgeable, listened to what I needed and suggested outstanding products that I'd never seen before. Fresh, natural and potent flavors! Just the selection of balsamics are worth the trip, truly! In addition to all of the above; it also has eclectic, upscale gifts, unique clothing, jewelry, cards, soaps, oils and so much more. All of it is has a high end feel but won't break the bank. Choose here for a unique gift or thank you for someone special! There is street parking and also a dedicated free parking lot behind/next to store. Once home, everything that'd been recommended was exactly as promised and so very delicious! This is absolutely a small business that should be cherished and supported often!!!

Enticed by the large Hebrew text conjoining two Palestinian-owned Jerusalem businesses, I was…read morecompelled to take a peek. The plaza has plenty of parking and houses a few other ethnic restaurants and spas, so it's very easy to get to during a Disneyland trip. Inside, there are tons of stuff from the Levant, spices, halal gummies, imported chocolates, homemade Dubai chocolate, and a huge selection of Turkish delights and roasted nuts made by them. They also have a wide variety of baklava and fresh knafeh right there ready to cut, which is a sweet cheese dessert with a fun kataifi crunch. The gentleman who helped me was very kind, though there was a slight language barrier. He let me try a bunch of nuts when I inquired - and I sort of had to, since several varieties were unlabeled, or just had a sign for what they were, or what the flavor was, but not vice versa. The nuts were good and seemed like a good and healthy snack to bring into a theme park or to have at home. I thought the flavors I tried were hard to distinguish from another after a while, and subtle. I had the fresh Dubai chocolate and thought it was pretty nice, distinctly bitter, nutty, moist, with tons of fresh kataifi crunch. You do have to keep it refrigerated though, as I assume it's made with ingredients that wouldn't hold well together at room temperature - typically a better sign in terms of paleo diets if you've ever made paleo chocolates for yourself. It's a bit atypical from other Dubai chocolate as the filling quantity here is uniquely generous. It's very rare to see a cute, almost timeless shop like this, containing lots of traditional and authentic goods. Would enjoy revisiting to try their coffee and the nearby food.

They have such a wide selection from body care, hair care, oral/dental care, skin care, pet care, candies, pins, stickers, crystals, oracle & tarot decks, books, pre packaged tea blends, supplies for your craft, for tea, so much loose leaf tea, GIANT herb selection on the back wall that you can get by the ounce and the owner can blend them for you. They also have a free bin/stand that has masks, covid test, baby supplies like bibs & diapers, kitchen supplies, and so much more. The stuff I got out of the bin was 1/4 oz of puck smudging leaves which I feel like the universe knew I needed this. It's been a very hard week on my husband and I.. we walked in feeling heavy and walked out feeling so happy. Thank you so much for everything today! This business is a must go to for all herbs and teas!! It is 10/10! The prices are also AMAZING. In this economy, their prices are more than affordable! They also have tea out by the checkout for free which just made me light up! We had the butterfly pea tea and it was absolutely perfect on this super hot day. Also, it knocked my husband out lol He went and fell asleep in the car! This was such an amazing find and we found our new home shop. Thank you so much green wisdom, our spell casting shop (instagram: @moon.magick888) will be using herbs only from here from now on! Please support this beautiful shop owned and operated by black women!!

I got there at 11am but it wasn't open yet so I called but voicemail was full so I waited until the lady got there which was about 20mins. I was able to get there before anyone else and got someone on one questions answered with no rush. There is a small parking lot and some street parking depending on when you go. The shop was clean and organized and loose leaf herbs and teas can be customized right there on the spot and the prices are super reasonable. I'll be back!

Nope! I rarely do review updates anymore, but after stopping in here today, I had to. I do not want…read moreanybody to see my old review and think this place is awesome. I shopped at Produce World for probably 5 years and loved it. Produce was so fresh that one time I even brought home a live yellow jacket nestled in my romaine lettuce! They had the most amazing selection of fruits/veggies, some rare to find. The store was always bright and clean. They had a machine near the back where they made fresh juice, OJ was like $7 for a fresh 1/2 gallon and it was delish! They changed hands sometime before pandemic and I stopped in once after then, was not so impressed. They were starting to sell meat and other items. The selection didn't seem as good as it once was. Then full on lock down happened and I never went back. Today I went to Polka Deli across the street to get some pierogies and kielbasa and thought, "let's stop in and see if things are good again." THEY WERE NOT. I really thought I had walked onto the set of some scary horror movie! Was the Michael Myers Halloween theme song actually playing, or was it all in my head?? It was dark and dingy and super sketchy looking. The first row used to be loads of beautiful, healthy mushrooms. All kinds! Varieties I never saw anywhere else! Today it was a bunch of rotting, bruised apples. I made my way to the main aisle and could visibly see wilted lettuce, cabbages, and browning brussels sprouts from 6 feet away. I turned towards the potatoes, as I needed some russets. They were so small, like the size of kiwis. No way was I making baked potatoes with those! I did grab some green onions, they looked really healthy and nice. Gone are all the rare veggies and fruits they used to have. Now it's just a swap meet of citrus fruits that are going bad. I did want some cucumbers for juicing, 2 for $1. They were HUGE. I was happy. But then I looked closer and most of them were super soft and squishy and had massive dimples in them. I found 2 that looked OK and I headed to the register. This place used to have like 4 low rows of random pantry items. They have now added a bunch more rows so it's a cluster-F of high, tight, shelves filled with who knows what. I didn't explore. I wanted to get out before the serial killer that must be lurking in there got me! While I was standing in line, I saw the "Fresh OJ" station (the machine is gone) has been moved to the back left wall. The wall is dirty and gross looking. They have a sign for fresh OJ for $15.99!! No thank you! They now charge $0.50 for any card transaction (debit included) less than $10, so I paid it and went on with my day. Happy to get out unscathed. How this place is still in business is beyond me!!

Mousi non alcoholic malt was available in both green apple or pomegranate flavors. Mostly products that we had in Jordan growing up and haven't seen or tasted in ages so another visit is a must.
