I LOVE this store. :) I used to go in and pick up things like bath salts, soap, and incense. Now that I am more interested in herbalism, I come in once a month! They have great loose leaf teas that you can buy, or you can buy herbs and make your own. Today, I went in to ask for help with an issue, and three people talked to me and helped me find just what I needed! If they dont know the answer, they have lots of great textbooks and will patiently help with whatever you need. Plus, they are always so nice. I have gotten crystals from them too!

The worst and most horrible experience. Bulk products ramped up to triple and quadruple price. To conceal and hide the over inflated prices they use a confusing measuring system and employees are trained to quickly rattle off gibberish explanations which avoid revealing the inflated per pound prices.The customer is then time pressured into buying leaving no time to calculate costs. The sky high prices are buried under gibberish and a micro unit price system that makes it appear like youre not spending much money but youre really getting scammed. Employees are also trained to hold the bag upwards to make it look like your getting a whole lot, when your just getting less than 1/2 ounce. Finally they keep the labeled product away from the customer so they cannot review the pound cost before purchase and until its too late.Later I confronted the manager about this deception and her whole demeanor changed to a used car salesman attitude talking 100 MPH. The fast talk was meant to intimidate. She had the audacity to blame me, saying it was MY fault for not understanding!! She spoke down to me like I was an idiot, deliberately misinterpeting my complaint to frustrate me and degrade my intelligence. Finally, with an air of superiority, she offered to give me credit minus 50% to cover the cost of business overhead! She took pleasure in seeing my outrage and gushed in glory of her evilness.The business is deceptive and corrupt, and management personnel are sick and demented.

Love this place! Great selection of herbs, incense, and altar accessories. I purchased a bell for my altar, some prayer flags, and nag champa incense. They carry a wonderful array lf incenses, as well as some mortar and pestle sets. They also have cute candles, and essential oils. Wonderful shop!

So mean. Dictatorial. Was not comfortable. Condescending. Even the signs out front, almost demanding mask wearing. This part of town, I usually feel depressed 😔. Js. 😂

This store is truly magical. I come here for their oldSchool incense and herbals for white magic Earth rituals. from the moment you walk in you get blasted in the face with this super high vibe positive energy.. it smells amazing- be sure to check out their handmade bath salts.. they are aromatherapy heaven!! The employees are super friendly and knowledgeable about the stuff they sell.. check out their loose tea and herb wall.. this is probably my favorite store, I want to stay a little longer even if I find everything I need right away!! And I always walk out feeling like they really cared and were attentive to my needs. A+ all around great job guys!! Lots of good karma coming you me way!

I own a business and sometimes have to use The Herb Store for supplies in a pinch. Watch out for items that have mismarked prices — I’ve found multiple errors when purchasing here.I also had an uncomfortable experience when a sales person lectured me about buying peppermint leaf when I was 6 months pregnant — the sales person almost wouldn’t sell it to me. In addition to the behavior being bizarre/inappropriate, peppermint is completely fine during pregnancy.Two stars because they have a good variety of products. Customer service and overall organization could be improved.

I worked as a medicine maker here years ago when Amara owned it. It has always had a really weird vibe and seems to attract unstable owners and staff. I moved home about 3 years ago and decided to give the herb store a visit. The staff I interacted with were bizzar, the manager or owner was down right aggressive and nasty. Its so not a healing place. Its too bad we dont have a better place to go for herbs. Until someone opens another apothecary in Albuquerque ill be ordering my herbal products online. I wouldnt spend a cent here.

I am an Apothecary owner in Edgewood, NM an occasionally have to purchase from the Herb store in a pinch. Wednesday I purchased 1oz of an herb but was charged for more than an ounce. The weight label read 1ounce which would be the correct weight but the receipt was for 1.2 ounce which was $1.42 more than the label. When I called and asked about the discrepancy the clerk said it was because she forgot to tare the scale. Upon weighing it when I got back to my store the actual weight of the herb was .9 of an ounce. It seems that they are overcharging because it is curb side service. Shame on you The Herb Store! Buyer Beware!

It’s overpriced for sure but the people are extremely friendly and helpful so I can’t knock it for that. I wish they had more variety but it’s a small store so I get why it’s hard to have a large inventory. Overall, I’ve been there probably around 15 times and never had any issues so I’d say the store is doing something right.

It was pretty good for an herb/occult shop. It laid a bit heavily in the occult section. The selection is fantastic, and the prices are inflated. The gentleman who helped me find some lions mane mushroom powder was aloof, but eager to help when asked.

I go to The Herb Store religiously for a variety of different items. They have a decent selection of bulk herbs, including ayurvedic. They sell bulk oils as well, and have plenty of essential oils to choose from. You can also expect to find a wide range of sizes and types of bottles and jars, incense, skin and hair care products, supplements, soaps, and a variety of other things. Not every staff member knows every tiny detail about the products carried, but I believe every customer should do their own research on the products they are purchasing. I dont believe that is the responsibility of the staff. Not to mention, some products are new or changed regularly. However, in my experience they have been incredibly helpful with the products they do know well and I always have a positive experience. I highly recommend their Mother-to-Be Belly Rub Stretch Mark Salve. I have used it every day since week 6 of my pregnancy and still have no stretch marks 24 weeks in.

This store and its staff are magical. Have had a back ach and knee ache for a week. I left the store and walked with a bounce to my step because I was pain free. This is how wonderful it is to go in there.There have been times I have been followed around, also, like the lady in the previous review. Since I already know how people come in there to steal and resell the items for drugs, I took no offense. Its my choice how I feel and I feel good going here.

We went to this store in search of dried herbs. While the inventory had a great selection, I was highly dissatisfied with the service we received. A employee followed us so closely, that I took a step back and literally she was behind me so close looking over our shoulded that I bumped into her. Every time I looked over she was right next to us pretending to clean. We already had over $100 of products, so we went ahead and bought it, but we will not be returning there due to the fact we felt very discriminated against. We love to shop and find awesome places like this. Its a shame the staff dont make some feel welcomed. I guess by the way people might dress or look depends on if they treat you differently. So yes they do have great items, but maybe their staff needs some training on treating customers in a welcoming way so they want to return instead of just purchasing at a large supply store. This seems to be why many small businesses fail. I hope maybe they will treat their next customers with more respect and dignity.

Hard to process all the signage trying to look for the rules business if I could do business at the door . I didnt understand someone running to the door to lock it as though I was there in 20 seconds of attempting to read all the signage and the hostile body language from the staff implying i was there only to cause harm. I didntt appreciate the hands up like I was causing harm just walking outside of the window with enough social distancing and mask to process all the signage . I didnt appreciate the whole experience and will sadly look for another business. Just because Im disabled doesnt make me a terrible person.

My family and I have been shopping at The Herb Store for somewhere around twenty years now. I’ve never once gone shopping there and not found what I was looking for and normally a handful of other goodies too. The staff have always been most helpful and very very nice😊 ❤️❤️❤️ 😊

The store has some great products... to bad the staff is not informed about the products and are unable to mind their own business when it comes to other peoples children. I was keeping my child from walking off when a female store clerk took it upon herself to tell me how to take care of my own child. I will find a different Herb store to shop in from this day forward. Big mistake Herb store on Carlisle in Albuquerque NM

I love this place. Tell them your symptoms or needs and they make suggestions. Wonderful natural remedies. Staff is kind and helpful, atmosphere is healing. Ive gone for cold remedies, anxiety, sore muscles and aches, throat, and for items to help me relax. They have the best incense too. This little shop is one of the best finds in all of albuquerque. If something is expensive it is well well worth it too. Just dont be afraid to ask for advice and what you need.

I absolutely love this place its the best place to get your herbs and medicines and jars and such. They always have just what you need and more. Also good to remember they have good custom blends of medicinal read. Definitely worth a look and.And their staff is always very kind and courteous. All in all, this is an excellent, well put together store that is my one stop shop anytime me or my family is sick. I only wish it was open later because it seems every time I need something they are closed but thats ok. Love them anyway

This is really an amazing little store. Parking in the shares business lot was a breeze and the annoying ART project construction wasnt really even a bother. The staff is so helpful and friendly too. They have all sorts of herbs, teas, bath and spa things, etc. Also they retail local honey for a company here in NM. Going to the Herb Store was one of the most enjoyable and rewarding times ive had keeping it local in the 505 in quite a while.

Nice store and service was good. I purchased an essential oil that was in a 10 ml bottle, which should of been .33 oz. for a soap recipe. When I weighed the oil for the recipe, I was sold .25 oz. of the oil. Ill shop online with a trusted distributor who guarantees the amount of product that they sell. I was hoping to shop locally, but it wont be with this store.

Review №47

This is where I go for Chinese herbal formulas, when I am not seeing an acupuncturist regularly (something that only happens intermittently, largely for financial reasons). They carry the reliable Plum Flower brand. Its difficult for me to judge the service, since I generally just go there looking for known Chinese patent medicines, and dont normally ask for advice. Just from spending some time in the store briefly, its obvious that many of the people working the store are able to recommend various herbs and other items that could help with specific problems. The store actually puts a lot of emphasis on raw herbs, which can be bought in bulk. I dont deal with that currently, so I cant comment. The store partly doubles as a general New Age store, with possible a neo-pagan emphasis. Nevertheless, most of the store is devoted to herbs, supplements, homeopathic remedies, etc. This store is about the only reason I stop in Nob Hill these days, and its one of the stores served by the large parking lot behind the small shopping center where its located, so parking is no problem.

I Jennifer went to the herb store for one oz. of Kratom and the female with curly hair she didnt understand how to weigh 14 grams of white 7 grams of green and 7 grams of red, then the girl said thats a pound but I said no one oz split in 3, but then mixed my white with the green and I asked wheres the green and she said i mixed it with white cause I dont know how to print a green label, I said that defeats the purpose of having three different kinds if youre going to mix them, so she got mad and threw it in the trash all rudely and went to go weigh it out again. she doesnt know how to change her scale to grams. rude and doesnt know how to divide. wow! dont get jacked in this store they dont know how to weigh or divide product on the scale.

Review №53

Ok first of all I send my chick in for one an ounce of kratom which is $14.40 an ounce so I told her get 14grams of white kratom which is a halfounce 7grams of green kratom which is a quarter of an ounce and 7grams of red kratom which is another quarter of an ounce altogether adds up to 28grams which adds to one ounce. My lady said she didnt know how to weigh out there product in grams only by the pound with an attitude mixed then mixed them all up and got mad and threw it in the trash still if they are weighing out there product in pounds or in kilos thats for big weight for small product you go by the grams so they know how to weigh there product right. Also what school did they go too she also thought my girl wanted a pound when she only wanted an ounce. We still paid more then an ounce which came out to $20.72 cuz she said she could only weigh by quarters of a pound then we weigh it at home and still it was off.

I went in the store for some CBD cream for my grandmother to help with her pain and it was awful. A total waste of money, it didnt work at all like the associates said it would. I found out another place around the area called LaVonblu that sells CBD cream as well, let me tell you, you get what you pay for, my grandmother was highly satisfied. I will NEVER go back to the herb store and I honestly pray no one waste their money there.

Review №61

I couldnt actually believe how badly I got treated by the staff of this place, despite its incredible selection, inviting atmosphere and great location. I wouldnt recommend that anyone who actually likes other human beings and themselves go to this place because the service is-- well-- truly abominable. I really felt that the people there were hostile towards me, and given my natural friendliness in general this is pretty unusual experience for me. It was as if there was something going on under the surface there, something inconsistent with the veneer of health and well being. Strange. Another really strange thing was all the people talked about amongst themselves was the Rosicrucian Order-- something called AMORC, I think... lots of ankhs around. Stranger...

Been in the store a couple times without incident. Upon our last visit an employee made it a point to stand next to us and spray as many tester sprays that she could find. Obviously trying to make us uncomfortable for whatever reason she had. My girlfriend and I are from Taos so frequenting Herb stores is normal for us. Never in my years have I been treated this way and my girlfriend was upset over the experience. I understand the store is near Central and shoplifting is probably one of the problems they face but treating honest paying customers that frequent the store(not anymore) like riff raff off the street is not an ideal business model. Maybe we dont meet their usual demographics but we did not deserve to be treated in that fashion. Will never go back to this store and will recommend anyone that believes in equality to not shop here.
