Large collection of herbs, friendly staff, easy checkout, they also got snacks! The place has a calming smell.

Great customer service & they have good selection of natural remedies. Definitely worth a visit.

First time here, I was amazed by all the options. I was looking for powdered herbs to make tea. Everything I wanted was in stock. The herbs were sectioned in alpha order. I'm definitely going back because I saw plenty of items I wanted to try. There were a few people walking around to assist with any questions I had. read more

truly my favorite herb & holistic store in philly & the staff is so knowledgeable & kind!

I appreciate the customer service and the variety of vitamins and minerals they offer. The store is large enough to accommodate social distance and space to roam around. I'll admit I haven't see. The whole store. I'm not that type of shopper. I typically have a list and I get what I want and leave. I did the same during my most recent visit. However I noticed social distance spacing is clearly indicated on the floors to guide customers to the register which I appreciate. It alleviates me from conversing with other other customers during COVID. Nevertheless the space is clean and the service is superb. There's assistance if you need it. Oh the have vitamins in oil form too for those who prefer it to pills. It's behind a counter so you will need to get help if that's your preference. Overall I really like this location. It's very close to my home and Center City. More importantly I'm always in and out since there aren't any long lines. read more

Penn Herb is an awesome place to shop for all of your herbal needs. The raw honey is amazing

I usually buy medicine at whole foods or moms because they have popular product and also very convenient. But some times I really need Asian medicine without speak Chinese or Chinese prescription. Usually before I go to shop for medicine I study for a little. So this time I study and make a tea... medicine tea. It was so many variety and very clean inside . I looked at leaf section it was wonderful ... and very kind sales person. 1 thing I couldn't find but it was ok others I did found.. also they have membership ( free) so I can get discount.... Some products are high price than other place because I usually buy on sale. But if another place isn't sale i definitely coming here to buy stuff... read more

Finley was so helpful! Thank you! This store has so many herbs, every single one you can think of. Has many things on sale as well.

I just love this store, the only downside is parking. I had to park several blocks away from the store which is not good due to medical issues, but the the advantage outweighs the disadvantage right now, so I persevere. I really wish they would move to a new location, and provide parking. Otherwise, it's clean, organized, good service, friendly staff, and great variety of products it's an overall great experience to shop there. read more

Honestly, I came into Penn Herb to escape the heat during the 2nd Street Festival. However, I ended up staying for more than just the AC! Penn Herb is a rather unique store in my opinion. It seems to have everything from teas to supplements. It also has a few more standard offerings like drinks, but it would never been called a 'grocery store' as Christina H also pointed out. I certainly support pharmaceuticals (with appropriate medical guidance & prescription) but also know there can be a role for other, more basic herbs. This shop has plenty of variety when it comes to vitamins and such and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable enough to help guide you. They also had some pretty amazing teas, one of which I headed home with! Prices are reasonable and as I've said selection is far and wide. Overall, they might be worth a visit if you find yourself in the area... read more

Excellent service. Knowledge staff. Large selection of quality merchandise. Could spend hours there. read more

The customer service was horrible I asked the guy if they had a certain herb and he acted like he didn't even want to search and see on the computer he did one search for me and then he wouldn't search anymore and then referred me to another employee to find the one herb that he did search But the staff that day did not seem very knowledgeable or helpful at all.. I appreciate the response from the owner, the staff never told me about their kiosk machines. It's good to know read more

Great products with great service and fair pricing. They have just about everything you need when on an homeopathic journey

The name is a tad deceiving. While Penn Herb Company has hands down, THEE most impressive collection of vitamins, supplements, herbal and Homeopathic remedies I've ever seen, they also have lots of fantastic snacks, wholesome foods, organic gift items, fresh floral bouquets, wellness books, candles, salts and all things one needs for living a healthy lifestyle! The store is bright, well stocked, neatly merchandised and adorable with floor to ceiling wooden trees! I picked up some snacks for the kiddos, some Bragg's natural products which are my kitchen must haves, and some vegan grocery items from the freezer section for myself. Prices were comparable to what I'm used to paying at WFM. I'm not sure if the entire place is plant-based, but I was unable to find a quick meal for the carnivore hubs. Totally not an issue for me though! I could've spent hours browsing, but was in the 30 minute loading zone out front so... The staff were all so helpful and friendly. Sign up for their rewards program! Definitely a great place to stop for quick veg based meal prep when you don't want to do a whole market trip, and it's probably the best place in Philly for vitamins and such. read more

Obsessed with this place for heathy snacks and frozen food. You can tell things have been carefully selected and I've discovered new things here. Also well organized. read more

Good service just felt I wasn't able to shop in peace. Workers hovered! I would recommend however, there is a wide selection of vitamins plus, and I prefer to shop in a store where I can take my time to choose what's best for me. read more

Every once in a while I'll go all hippy-dippy and decide that I'm into herbs instead of modern medicine. When I do, this is home base for herbs. Can't sleep? Do your feet itch? Does your breath stink? Stop your whining and get your butt over there. They will have what you need. You will get no weirdness and nobody will try to douse you in pachouli (unless you want to, I suppose). I am far from being practically perfect in every way, and I'm sure I'll be back on line at Walgreens soon, but for now, I'm going au natural with my herbs. Oh yeah... read more

Great store and Great staff. I've been going here for years. My go to for herb, teas, vitamins and snacks.

I was looking for some hard to find herbs and found this store online. Wow I'm in love! It's so bright and beautiful, reminds me of Whole Foods but with only the cosmetics, pharmacy, and dried goods sections. The store associates were friendly and greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. They helped me find my products and let me browse the shelves at my leisure even 10 minutes before closing without rushing me or being nosy with what I was looking to buy. In addition to herbs and vitamins, I was impressed with this store's display of tinctures, teas, coffee, gourmet foods, kitchen tools, skin care products, etc. Basically this a show room version of online vitamin stores like Vitacost or LuckyVitamin. Every shelf was so organized and everything stacked so neatly and clearly labeled. The only down side is the prices are not as cheap as online retailers, but if you need herbs, tinctures, and other woo woo witch doctor-ish remedies and don't feel like waiting to get stuff shipped, this is the store for you! The selection can't be beat. It's super convenient to get here by the Market-Frankford subway line, as it's a minute walk from the Spring Garden station. Such a charming store for a new age/alternative medicine nut like me. I will be back! read more

The greedy owners are just charging for bags now! As if they aren't making enough money of us already.

This is my favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite herb shop and his place is full of love and his family oriented staff are super friendly thank you Bill read more

Great place for all your herbal and essential vitamins and minerals supplies. Something for the entire family!

Living in No.Libs can be a little difficult at times. I personally despise the Acme up the street, so I balance between Penn Herb company and Whole Foods. They have PLENTY of vegan/veggie options that are moderately priced. While Penn Herb isn't necessarily a "grocery store" and you couldn't survive on only their supplies, their choices are excellent. If you're into herbal remedies this place is for you! One aspect that really stood out to me-the customer service is absolutely outstanding. A few weeks back, I purchased 2 avocados to find that they were rotten to the core after I got home. Of course it was my fault for not really checking enough when I picked them up, but they had expired produce displayed for sale. The next time I returned to the store,I explained the situation to the cashier not expecting anything other than a coupon or a "sorry" but she actually replaced my items! It's really the little things when it comes to a small business-which is why Penn Herbs deserves nothing less than 5 stars. read more

I love that this is a family owned and operated business that clearly takes pride in what they do! They have a great selection of products including over 400 herbs. My husband and I are also big fans of their Olbas line for when we come down with the occasional cold. And if you need recommendations on other natural remedies, their staff is an excellent resource! read more

This would be a 5 star rating it I hadn't wasted 40 minutes driving around looking for a store that literally no longer exists. The N. 2nd St. address listed here and on their elaborate website is incorrect. Not only has the store moved, the physical building it used to be in has apparently been torn down-- which leads me to believe this move happened quite some time ago and nobody has taken the time to, I dunno, tell potential customers? According to a very small notice on their website they will be reopening this store in 2013. The new (temporary?) store, some 15 miles away is well stocked and the workers are quite friendly and helpful. I was looking for some fairly obscure herbs and essential oils and they had them all for a very fair price. Unfortunately, this location is not likely to get much business because a) the only place you can see the new address is on a sign posted on the fence that surrounds the large hole in the ground where the old store used to be, and b) there is zero lighting and minimal signage around the new store that is located in what seems to be in some sort of industrial complex. Either way, the positive experience I had once I got over how pissed I was has forced me to consider making this my go-to spot for my herbal needs/natural product needs. FYI the ACTUAL (current) address is 10601 Decatur Road Philadelphia, PA 19154 read more

Jesus Christ. I didn't know what to expect. I'd tried coming here for years, but the hours were always wonky and what I didn't realize was that the store was demolished and rebuilt 3 years ago. It. Is. Huge. They have everything. Every damned thing in the world of health food, herbs, and in amounts from a small jar to large bags. Stuff I've never been able to find in a retail location. At prices that made me curse being limited to my bicycle for what I could carry. The people are helpful and I must've spent 45 minutes browsing. Like I said, I had to pare down my choices but dude, when I get ahold of a car I'm coming back with my paycheck. So look out. read more

It was completely by accident that I stumbled upon Penn Herb Company. At first I wasn't even going to go in, but my bf convinced me to just check it out and see what they had. I admittedly do not believe in alternative medicine - I don't dis-believe in it, but I'm not about to choose it over my local pharmacy - so at first I was just wandering around the large front room, curious to see what types of herbs were listed under the different categories (the sexual health section being the most fun when "just browsing."). But then I wandered into the second, smaller room and found what I was looking for. They have a few shelves that are dedicated to bulk herbs. BULK. The prices are pretty nice, everything is listed alphabetically so its easy to find, and they list the medicinal uses for each herb on the label. But amongst all those herbs are tons that you use just for everyday cooking, and typical drinking teas too! Next thing I knew I was cradling tons of bags like a baby - it was hard to whittle down the choices to those I actually needed (versus those I just want so I can say I have them). And the staff is so nice and friendly and helpful! They're really sweet people, I'll go back just to make sure they get my business, even though they're....not exactly anywhere near my neighborhood. If you're into alternative medicine, this is definitely the place for you, but even if you don't you will find something that you want anyway! read more

The Penn Herb Co is a family-owned business that has very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I was dying to go in here, but they close at 5:30--before I get off work. On my day off I stopped in and came home with 2 different reasonably priced teas. The atmosphere is so friendly, I want to go back just to say hi. read more

Fantastic place for all things natural, organic and while. I've been a customer for over 25 years.

After a rocky first visit, I was contacted by the owner who apologized for my initial experience and convinced me to give this business another chance. I was very pleased and impressed by her response and felt that it was a sincere and genuine one. I decided to give the store another shot and I must say that I felt much better about supporting this local, family business. The Manager, John was very helpful, he was very knowledgeable about the items that I was looking for and interested in. He even apologized for the experience that I had encountered on my first visit. This made me feel as if my experience was important to them as a customer and it also replaced any negative impressions that I had had before. I look forward to returning as I was able to skim some of the products and saw that they carry much more than I had initially thought. This place is more than just an herb/vitamin supplier, but they even have healthy entrees and pantry items that I usually travel to Whole Foods to get. I am happy about my visit and my discoveries and look forward to returning. read more

I am very lazy when it comes to writing reviews. But when i go out of my way to write one, good or bad, then i must have a good reason for doing so. First time dealing with this Company, and I am very impressed. Awesome products, well packaged, super flash delivery. And to top it all, the shipping was FREE. Keep up the good work. read more

Aromatherapy, Herbalism, Natural Healing, all of these needs were satisfied through Penn Herb and Samara Botane. My Wife had been going to Penn Herb for a few things to help her and her Mother bake and cook, plus a few Herbal Teas and Cold Remedies. After we were married, She started having Health Problems, that Modern Medicine called: Ladies Problems " AND those its in your head maladies. Then, Miracle of Miracles these Problems women had in their heads developed Scientific Names. Prescription Drugs came out of the woodwork then other words like Costly and Expensive became the Norm. Experimental was my favorite, meaning try this and try that, then find one that works. All along there were remedies that people from all over the World, from every ways and means have used for Centuries . After reading and carefully studying what was available; those old tried and true remedies were going to be used again. With those and a few of my own; my Wife was able to have a relatively easy time of it, through: cramps, head and muscle aches AND those "Ladies Problems ". What worked for my Wife and i, worked for my Wife and i; will it work for you? Who can say, that is up to you. i will go back to Penn Herb Company for: Cooking, Baking and a few 'Home Remedies', i know they will have what i need. read more

Update review February 21 ,2018 First of all I dont think penn herbs herbal extracts are very effective. The brands I buy a vitamiin shoppe are of a much better quality and seriously have a medicinal effect instantly. Secondly, I was disappointed because I called the main number they told me all three products were able to be picked up local on springarden Camphorated oil, lanolin, rosehip oil/ extract. Went all the way down there they only had lanolin . I asked the phone rep were they sure items were in store ,he said yes. So I bought nothing. Went to vitamin shoppe Penn herbs is Still a very nice store. Below old review I actually been coming here since I was a kid with my mother way before the makeover .The five stars is for organization. I found the herbs I needed without asking anyone to help me. The herbs are in alphabetical order along the wall. They sell lots of other items too .Worth the visit best herb store in Philly. read more

I went into the store found EVERYTHING I needed, checked out & was home within 40 min. This is impressive because I live on a whole other side of town! Their store is so perfectly organized it's virtually impossible to not find what you're looking for. Thanks for making shopping for my cold & flu season necessities a breeze! read more

I come here every day before work to grab a bottle of water and some snacks. If I need anything else, like vitamins or whatever, the staff is always extremely helpful and informative. Sometimes it feels like they're asking you personal questions (example: I asked them where I could find iron supplements, and he asked me if I was anemic) but that's just because they're trying to make sure you're getting exactly what you need. They also have public bathrooms, but you do need an access code. read more

I really love this new addition to the neighborhood. The store is beautiful inside. There are a ton of herbs and vitamins to choose from and you can learn a lot from the employees (Most of them). I wish they had a bigger selection of organic/ healthy foods but besides that I love this place. read more
