The people who work here are friendly and knowledgeable, and their rewards program is a great bonus. They also offer bulk options for some of their products, which is helpful if you're not local enough to stop by frequently. I do wish that they could switch their packaging from plastic bags, but I understand why that might not be feasible. Either way, they've got a great selection at a great value!

We noticed it wasn't too far from our Brooklyn neighborhood so we headed over on a Saturday afternoon. The shop was dimly lit with natural light beaming through the front window. The smell was herbaceous and woody, but not as pungent as classic botanicas that can overwhelm you with scents of patchouli and incense. We were greeted by Sid and Ziggy, both of whom were laid-back but ready to help at any time. They also gave the shop some down-to-earth vibes which is great when you're a bit more pragmatic like me. We explained to them the one to eight problems we each had and they directed us to teas, herbs, tinctures, and even smokable blends (not my scene but helpful). It was heaven! I left with the Sinus Formula Tea and Golden Tonic. The tea is smooth, round, & tasty, and has been keeping my sinus headaches at bay. I haven't used the tonic as much but every time I add it to my water, my body goes into flush-mode which is great for my body aches and overall gut health. Sid mentioned that there was an online shop for when we have to re-up but this experience is well-worth the trip.

She had a particularly gnarly cough that honey alone wasnt helping. I read about marshmallow root being good for sore throats and coughs and decided to stop in for the dried root as well as a tincture in case the tea was rejected. I also have been suffering from migraines with the change of weather and picked up some peppermint oil. The marshmallow root tea was tasty to me but my little hated it. I opted for the tincture in some juice and it helped break up her cough. Will def be back to explore some other natural remedies... in the mean time I will be experimenting with marshmallow root to make medicinal marshmallows.

I LOVE Alkaline Electrics Shop! They have every herb you can think of (and some you didn't even…read moreknow you needed). Plus, all their herbs come straight from Jamaica, so you know you're getting the real deal. Whether you're looking for herbs in powder form, regular tea leaves, tinctures, mushroom powders, or sea moss, this place has it all! And let me tell you about their sea moss options, they've got it in powder, premade gel, or dried so you can make your own at home. Now, I'll admit, the shop is deep in Brooklyn, and since I'm usually out in Queens or Manhattan, it's a bit of a trip for me. But honestly? worth it. The staff is super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. They're always ready to help and answer any questions you have which is nice if you're like me and always looking to try new herbs. If you can't make it to the store in person, no worries! They have an online store and an app, so you can easily order from the comfort of your couch. I personally love going in and making it a whole fun trip to restock my herbs, but if you're in a rush, the app is super convenient. If you're into herbs, or even just curious about trying some, I highly recommend checking them out. Hope this one helps !! Happy herb shopping fiends !!!

Inside there is a line to order, as well as kiosks on the side. There are also two small tables if you want to eat inside. The bathroom is very clean, and they also have a sink by the wall to wash your hands. Service is efficient and I got my food about 15 minutes after ordering. My favorite was 100% the doubles. The basic channa double with tamarind sauce and mango chutney was so soft and perfectly sweet and tangy. The oxtail and goat curry were also good, but the channa was far superior---which says a lot since I love meat. I like the softer texture of doubles more than the thicker aloo pie and thinner/dryer roti. And considering how affordable every item is, I would definitely come back if I am around the area!

The shop is steady busy with takeout orders and the occasional folks (like me) who wanted to sit and enjoy my first doubles there. They only have two tables and chairs. Most people order to go. You may order at the kiosk and wait for your number to be called when it is ready to pick up. The kiosk is good because it easily shows all the sauces you may add to your doubles and the variety of other things like drinks, etc you may order. There is also the option to get in line and place your oder. You can watch the assembly line of workers quickly making food. Then check out with the cashier. They sell lots of different cakes, breads, nuts, and drinks too. I was a little overwhelmed on what to order, but a nice employee helped me out. I showed him what I was trying to order and asked for suggestions. Thanks to him I had the best doubles! Added tamarind sauce, mango chutney, and the benny sauce. The perfect vegetarian meal for $2.50! It is made of roti (flatbread), curried chickpeas, and topped with the sauces. Then rolled up to make a sandwich. So flavorful! I wasn't too sure which drink to get as I wasn't sure what they all tasted like. Chose the Seamoss drink, which is a mix of milk, seams, nutmeg, and some spices. Milky and not overly sweet. This was good. Maybe next time I'll get sorrel, which is hibiscus. They said the peanut drink is good too. Ordered Pholourie with tamarind sauce. These are fried savory dough balls. I couldn't resist getting a sweet treat. So, I randomly picked the salara bread, which looks like a cinnamon swirl bread slice. It is actually stuffed with shredded coconut that is colored red and tastes like cherry. Pretty good and not overly sweet. Definitely add this place to your list of eats in Queens. It is a trek from the city, but so good! Also, nice that it is a little bit away from the loud busy part of Liberty Ave in Richmond Hill. This is about a 15-20 min walk from there on Lefferts Blvd. Restroom available.
