Tropical African Market — Local services in Springfield

Woman behind the counter is very rude. I purchased a set of waist beads for some reason it had a knot in it that I could unloose. I bring the waist beads back and she's accusing me of messing them up. She tries to give me another style of waist beads and I asked her if I can get the same color patterns as the ones that I had before. This lady starts raising her voice at me saying that I messed up the waist beads and now I want her to give me something else. I've been told her I do not appreciate the way that she was speaking to me as a customer. She then throws the waist beads at me and tells me she's not going to replace them. I don't know if she was having a bad day but I have come to the store on separate occasions to buy Shea butter and I have never experienced this type of customer service here. I will never come to the store ever again! Being a black person trying to support other black businesses this is the type of customer service...

Pretty decent array for lots of African items. You'd be surprised to see some items that'll bring back memories especially snacks...

You may also be lucky to shop on days when fresh produce (vegetables especially) come in, else you'll have to make do with frozen versions.

Quite pricey though, but this is to be expected seeing they are...

I come here often to purchase greens and meats Always get weird looks and asked how do I know how to cook the stuff but today the kid behind the counter was extremely rude and looked at me like he didn’t know what I was asking for and had no desire...
