Great Energy! This store is encyclopedic but not intimidating. The staff is SO friendly & great vibes (so rare unfortunately) but equally able to let you browse as well as answer all of your questions. (I had many, they fielded them like pros!) I left with two bags of herbs that have been hard for me to find elsewhere (supplements to my nightly teas!) & two vials of essential oils. More importantly, I left a fan of the store, the staff, & the wide array of offerings there! (I’m coming back for a class at the end of the month!) Flower Power, you got me steeping in your RADNESS & I already want a second cup.
Amazing little store, with an incredible range of goods and extremely kind and patient staff. I have always found whatever Ive needed and have had any questions either answered or researched on together. Super cute and well organized, great for beginners as well as the more experienced.Great prices for the dried flowers and herbs, other materials are much more expensive however
Ive recently been stopping in regularly, mostly to pick up different herbs to make into tea (to drink when Im stressed at work ;) ) and also for the classes.If youve never been here before the drill is to take the jars of the herbs you want to the counter, and as the shop staff person is measuring it out, packaging it, and ringing you up, you take the jars theyve already portioned out back to their shelf. I think it is more efficient time and space wise this way. (But unless youre told or you ask you dont know what to do the first time you go).Ive always had a good experience with the staff ladies who are there on the weekends. Especially the older lady I remember as being a lovely personality and chat (I think she has an English accent??). They always have a variety and nice selection of class topics too.
This is a great place and worth the stop if youre in the neighborhood. The cake isnt overly sweet, but delicious and the tea is good too. They serve savory dishes too, so next time, I will stop for lunch and finish with a piece of cake. Very calming atmosphere, esthetically pleasing and great service.
My story is that 25 yrs ago I had migraines and then came the wonderful world of Flower Power with their recommendation of feverfew tincture and that has helped me ever since. I dont always go there as feverfew finally became readily available in all 5 boroughs but I always send folks there to seek healing and peace through nature.
A real life apothecary! I must admit that as I walked through the door to Flower Power, a long dormant part of me marvelled at the rows and rows of jars lining the wall with a slide ladder running along the far end. It reminded me of the first time I read Harry Potter and of my lifelong desire to browse a wizards workshop. Now realistically, this store is staffed by extremely kind and knowledgable people who are happy to help a layman like me understand the value of adding some herbs and plants to your life. If youre in the market for some delicious tea or for chilling out after a long day of work, check this store out.
This place is SO COOL. I came in looking for an obscure herb and wouldnt you know it - they had it.Even if youre not after their huge selection of essential oils or extensive library of books, they even have basic stuff like dried cooking herbs - even taco seasoning!The staff offered advice and suggestions, was super friendly and helpful, I felt really welcome.
It is an amazing place. Full of herbs, creams, oils... The staff is friendly and very generous, willing to discuss your issues and offer holistic suggestions for your physical and emotional problems. I love going there, whether I am just stopping by or buying herbs or tinctures.
This little shop on East 9th Street in Manhattan is a very big deal! You can depend on purchasing the best herbs, spices, oils, teas, and many other products to encourage natural healing and well being. The well informed staff is dedicated to educating and serving everyone who walks in. Integrity and trust are the heart and soul of natural healing and you can trust Flower Power.
I called this place in a severe jam for favor. I reached out to them in hopes they could help as a last resort considering they were the closest place in proximity that could help me. As they were soon closing, i requested that they stay open 15 extra minutes so i could grab the supplies needed for a large event. Unfortunately they practiced poor customer service over the phone and cared nothing about the large purchase i intended to make. The woman i spoke to declared in a very snarky way that her colleague had to leave and she wasnt ok with possibly missing her yoga class. Any employee who doesnt believe in helping their brand grow when it comes to customer service makes me doubt the brand as a whole everytime. Wont be calling these people again.
Definitely the spot for all your botanical needs. Wasnt sure Id ever find a place to replace Lhasa Karnak in Berkeley California outside of Berkeley California, but of course, if there is a thing, New York tends to have one that is bigger and better than everyone elses, and that Maxim sure doesnt fail here...
Very first time walking into an Herbal place & I loved it. It was a great experience and I found just about all the herbs I was looking for plus additional. An issue I did run into though was as I walked in I wasnt greeted to feel the welcome into the establishment. I presented my energy by greeting everyone there an then I received the responses. The four Stars is based solely on the overall experience that I had at the Shop. Customer Service isnt extended to everyone that walks into the Shop such as myself nor my Queen whom I walked in with. Thats a problem that has to be fixed. Overall, Great store🙏🏾

2022-02-26I had a great experience in this store. The ladies were so welcoming and understanding of my needs. Although I am a newbie with it all, they were very accommodating. I bought some herbs and tinctures that I cannot wait to incorporate in my lifestyle.

2022-05-15Edit to my previous 5 Star review:I’ve been back to this amazing store many times and I’ve never been disappointed. Always left with wonderful products and excellent advice.One thing that is noteworthy, the team here doesn’t push anything on you and they’ll give you advice on how to make things yourself using their ingredients if money is tight. I cant tell you how much I appreciate it.

2022-05-25EVs OG store. They have been around for decades, and I am so delighted to see them continue to thrive. This is my go to store for herbs, essential oil and resins. You will feel like you have time traveled when you enter this shop. I often think of The Mistress of Spices by Chitra Banerjee when I am in this earthy space. Their knowledgeable attendants will help you navigate through their huge collection of herbs, essential oil, resins etc. Please do yourself a favor and visit this shop. You will not regret it.

2022-02-14Increasingly, I have had problems with management. My phone calls are not returned, neither are my texts. Because of Flower Power, my reputation has been tarnished FOR NO REASON. I will not return to this store nor purchase any items from them. Very very disappointed!

2021-10-28My most favourite place on earth. everyone there is beyond welcoming, loving, knowledgable. they are incredibly experienced in their field, but never judge you for the place in herbal learning you are at. some of the teas and tinctures they have recommended to me have been SO helpful, not to mention that their lip balms and soaps and perfumes are the prettiest lil things. go to flower power!!! now!!!!!

2021-07-14I left feeling accomplished!! They were so welcoming, patient, helpful, knowledgeable and kind. The icing on the cake was the aromatic and earthy vibration and their very extensive collection of herbs, flowers, essential oils, custom tinctures, handmade soaps and so much more. I walked off of the new york streets into this cozy herbal haven and I cant wait to visit again soon. Thank you for making a new experience run as smoothly as possible.

2021-04-20Everyone was extremely helpful. A gentleman working even contacted his boss to help us find the best herbs needed to treat epilepsy. We stocked up on a great assortment of herbs. We will definitely be revisiting very soon. 100% satisfied with their service and variety.

2020-08-30I have visited this store twice. The first time before Covid restrictions and the second today (8/29/2020). I LOVE this store. It’s more than just a store, it’s a GEM. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. The variety of herbs and oils is superior to any other specialty stores I have found in the city. This place is a definite go-to if you want quality products from CBD oils to incense to teas and MUCH more. I will always highly recommend.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

2019-06-09Went into the store today after having browsed by their Essex market stand. I will admit I was a bit shy but that quickly changed once I felt the energy in the shop. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I loved the option of herbs lined up on the wall. It was a great experience overall. I went in with something particular in mind and left with a whole lot more. I ain’t mad about that either :) keep up the amazingness flower power!
