Nicholas Brooklyn

The workers are truly amazing and kind. I love entering the store it always smell beautiful and they have great pricing on items/​products. I would definitely recommend this location.

I needed a Kinara set for a Kwanzaa/​New Years Party I was having. For some reason I waited until the last minute to buy one. The only place in the entire City of New York, that I thought might possibly have one was good ‘olé Nicholas, formerly known as Nubian Heritage. I called them up and asked if I they carried a kinara set. The phone was answered by Trevor who told me that they had one at the Harlem store, he would get it and bring it back to Brooklyn so I could pick it up. What time will you be here he said. Five-​fifteen I said. At 6:00 PM that evening, I walked out of the store with my new kinara set, and a couple of other things. Trevor and the cashier (who was so sweet) told me that many people had asked for the kinara set but were told, it couldn’t be purchased because they were holding it for someone. I was so grateful that I was able to experience something that’s practically gone extinct; great customer service. The best part was, I got the candles, candle holder, and cup/​chalot for a very reasonable price. Much more reasonable than the prices sets like these usually sell for online. I had a wonderful experience at this store and will definitely be back. I highly recommend.

I love this location. It’s larger than the Harlem location. I also find the staff here to be more engaging and knowledgable. I went from buying Shea butter to coming for tarot readings and craft circles.
They have a great selection of local products that include clothing and beauty to name a few. Although I can find some same items on amazon, prefer to support a local business where I can discuss the products with people who use the items and are responsible for ordering.

The employees are super friendly and polite. It’s like a one stop shop for cultural things, ranging from books, clothes to hair products. They have a great Open Mic space. I’m coming back, no hesitations. :)

best cultural store in NY… employees very friendly. Store very huge and very clean and organized.
