Video Testimonials
"I've just bought about four bottles of oils... the bottle here in glass is $6 — almost $12 at the Atlantic Avenue stores. You get a much better bargain here."
"Get your black soap, get your turmeric soap, get your colloidal silver soap — all in the same spot."
"I see some magnificent herbs and things that will help you out. Please come and visit."
"Nicholas on Fulton Street — the only place I get my oils from. Trust and believe, they have something for everybody."
"I saw them online, did my research... I drove five hours today just so I could get this."
"I heard about this store on Threads and I am obsessed. It's better than shopping in Soho. Shop Black, shop Nicholas."
"Every time I'm in New York I have to shop at Nicholas Brooklyn and get my African black soap — it's good on my skin, it feels so refreshing."
"We walked here just to get the oils — Black-owned business, baby, support. Absolutely amazing service."
"I come to Nicholas Brooklyn because y'all are one of the places where the hard-to-find stuff is easy to find."

The Story, From the Family
“He started it up in 1974 — so I’m carrying that generation.”
Monique Nicholas on her father’s founding of the store, and why Nicholas Brooklyn has never been only a storefront: “Not only is it just a store, but we do events here. We bring people such as yourself and other key motivators out there that provide a solution — we bring them right here to Nicholas Brooklyn.”
Monique Nicholas — in conversation with 19 KeysWritten Reflections
"Three years later, I have not looked back. This place changed my relationship with my own body."
"The Batana Oil brought my edges back after two years of damage. I recommend it to every woman I know."
"As a nurse, I was cautious walking in. I left a believer, and now I send my patients here myself."
"Fifty years in the neighborhood and it still feels like walking into someone's home. That matters."
"The Stingless Bee Honey is unlike anything I have tasted. Worth every dollar for what it does for my immune system."
"Every question I had was met with real knowledge, not a sales pitch. That is rare these days."
