Ordered online twice only some of the items per order where shipped however I paid a shipping fee for all items per order to be shipped not sure how that works because when I spoke to the lady who answered my call when about the partially shipped items per order I forgot to mention that so I’ll see. I was informed that the other items weren’t available at the time which explains partially shipped items. Was immediately reimbursed and patiently awaiting my items. Thanks to the lady who answered my call questions and concerns. ❣️

Ordered one item. Never received it. Called and got the run around for a week. I called my bank and got my refund threw them. Now yeyeo has to deal with my bank. Got a new debit card issued and cancelled the one they had info on. Really disappointed. This place is a scam.

Quickly, and easily became the best part of my self care day.. Introduced by a friend, Ive already visited a handful of times, and look forward to gathering more information, gentle reassuring guidance, and all around beautiful energy.. The website is also lovely, with great items you wont find in store.

I received a reading last year and it was really on point. So I decided to schedule another one. I went on the website and tried booking for 4 months straight because bookings were filled up, so I kept trying and I finally got a spot in July. But guess what? after all that time I got cancelled because she was not in that day. I rescheduled for the next week with the store manage and guess what? Still no reading, she was not in!! So I asked for a refund of my money and guess what? They are giving me the run around. They will not answer the phone and when someone does answer they say Let me get your number and someone will call you back, but guess what? Still waiting for a call and a refund. It doesnt take a PSYCHIC to know that I will NEVER deal with this place EVER again!!!!!

Dont waste your time. They will cancel your order if you inquire about shipping . They don’t communicate or answer questions. They act very snarky.Some peoples ancestors you shouldn’t disrespect. I knew to stay away from this place when I seen them teaching incorrectly on Saint expedite . I can see clearly they are a scam by how rude and unprofessional they behave

I live in Georgia so I have to use online shopping. It could take a while to process, Ive had orders that took 6 weeks and orders these took two, but it is well worth the wait. Their policies are very transparent, their products are amazing, and Im extremely happy to have stumbled onto them by watching Elemis videos on YouTube. This is a place I will definitely frequent.

Definitely over charging. But has most then other places in NJ. That I seen so far. Im used to NYC where they have everything in 1 place and hook you up because they want you to keep coming back. They dont over charge and its everything u need need. They make everything themselves for you. Not like nj. Already made.

I am happy with my purchase. It did take a few weeks from the date of my order, to receive the order. BUT, I did read on the website that it can take some time to fill the order. I was fine with that. I added 2 day shipping, and it took 2 days from the date shipped, to the date received. I am very happy. This is not Amazon! I think we got used to next day delivery with Amazon. I ordered from here because the prices were better than Amazon! I will be back to order again!

It took a few days to really digest everything that I received from the reading - but it was helpful and insightful information that confirmed my intuitions. Some of it was hard to hear, but it was all information meant to empower me to be more present and loving my life choices. Like with any reading, its best if you come to it as grounded as possible - if youre ready for honesty, Elemi will provide that for you.Also, be aware that they have a small staff, so dont be alarmed if it takes some time to contact them. They will get in touch if something goes wrong with your order. When I had a scheduling issue, they responded quickly through a messaging system that sends reminders about your reading.Thank you again, Elemi for an enlightening, empowering and truthful reading.

I purchased items online from TX and had no issues. Yeyeo quickly notified me that my ordered was received and their email response time is quick. Receiving your order may take a few weeks especially if youre out of state, but on the website there is a notification that your order may not be processed for 7 days or more so make sure to remember that although its placed the order may take time to get ready. My items were packed carefully and neat. Thank you Yeyeo Botanica

I was trying to wait until I received my products but given the fact that I paid for 2 day shipping and still haven’t received my items or even a tracking number 11 days later I have no choice. I have called this shop 10 times this week and have yet to speak to a live person left messages and no call backs and they are open.... Meanwhile a new YouTube video is posted nearly every day but no one is handling online orders? I expected so much more. I should have read the reviews before ordering as huge of an order as I did and now I’m unsure of delivery date or if it one come in Good condition. I will stick to my local Botanica and amazon for now. I have spiritual work that can not wait another 11 days to be done. So With that this is a first and last for me.

Review №21

It was a different experience,, The things they explained to me about things and how they work or supposed to work,,really make you think about spirituality an the way natural things work...But for me personally Im still on the fence...Im not saying these things are true or false but it gives you something to think about. But workers are polite an courteous,,, and whatever question you got concerning their products they got an answer for you.

Review №22

🧿🧿 store is great, BUT DO NOT WORK HERE. owner and staff will have no respect for you or your privacy. will manipulate your spiritual journey for the sake of/growth of their spiritual business. one manager even casually disrespected my recently past ancestor. there is no internal organization and, without disclosing any of the business practices or products, the employee expectations are far beyond what has been advertised with very little formal training. Management is very dismissive. Respect yourself, respect your privacy, respect your journey and just be a customer and use the tools, dont let them fool or use you! 🧿🧿

Review №25

My Spritiual Reading that I received from Elemi was amazing. She gave me insight on the things that was really stressing me out in my life. I didnt have to tell her what those issues were, I had choked up because I couldnt believe how truthful it was and that the reading was done over the phone, the whole experience was mind blowing, truthful and impacting! Ive gotten my palm read, physic reading and my cards read by a bunch of different people. The reading that I received from Elemi was on point and the best!But its going to be up to me to take action and be in charge of my life! Thank You

I had an amazing reading. I would definitely recommend.However, the staff lack in providing accurate information. Re: walk-ins(Tuesdays and Fridays) I was informed that there’s no walk-ins until Nov 1(this was about 2 weeks ago). I called again last week- I was told to call the day of to see if they’re doing any walk-ins. I called this afternoon, I was told to call the day of.If someone can kindly give me right information I would greatly appreciate it.I’ve been trying to get another reading for the past 2 months and no luck 🤷🏽‍♀️

Review №28

I’m the typical YouTube fan, I booked a reading nearly 2 months and after 2 1/2 hours of waiting past my scheduled appointment I was spoke with Elemi... I was quite disappointed with the tone of the reading and the lack of flow or connection with her... She came off incredibly distracted and the background noise really killed the mood.. Though I believe Elemi is a wonderful teacher and enthusiast of all things related to the Botancia subculture, card reading is not her forte.

Visited for the first time last week to pick up a few things. I didn’t get anyone specific’s name but the women were helpful but a little busy so didn’t want to bother them too much but Hope next time to chat about some of the items I’m unfamiliar with. I rushed myself a little because a line was forming outside(they keep limited capacity due to covid) but beautiful place and I’ll be back soon

Review №30

I really liked the YouTube videos that Elemi did/does and it prompted me to visit her store. The workers are familiar with some things but their knowledge is limited. I felt the store could of offered more products and a wider variety of products than it did. Lots of candles, candles can be dressed but the pullout ones require time and can’t be done as you wait.I sometimes shop the online store because you can actually see the products, their description and uses. However, I don’t believe they are updating the online inventory in a timely fashion. Shipping can take time because they take awhile to process those orders. You can order and pick up the items in store. This works well if you want candles dressed etc.I didn’t get any type of negative energy here but I didn’t feel staff were particularly spiritual nor able to advise you according. They did have some product knowledge but this place works best if you know what you want and don’t need a bunch of advice.I was disappointed to learn that the readings weren’t being done by Elemi. I think that should be stated online. Elemi presents well on YouTube and people are drawn to her and her detailed delivery style. So it’s only natural that you’d want to consult with her etc.I’d say shop online if you’re not in a rush for items. Do your research beforehand so you know what to get at the store.

I stopped in to Yeyeo to view the products that they offered. I was going through a rough time and Addy was able to pick up on that. She was very kind and eager to help me. I was in tears because I was dealing with so much- yet somehow Addy knew and was able to comfort me. I will never forget her for that. I will definitely be back regularly. Thank you for being so awesome Addy. If I could give you 20 stars I would. Love, Ashlee

Review №35

I like that I can just walk in and just purchase my crystals, smudge sticks etc and dont have to wait for a delivery like when you purchase at an online store. I did get a candle dressed here and honestly think that it created blockage. Luckily I deal with other spiritual advisors whom I trust. I had work done somewhere else and everything was back to normal. I honestly feel like the person who dressed my candle was inexperienced and didnt bless it correctly and that OK . I will only buy what I need from here and thats it . Customer service is OK .A lady name Ruth who works here is approachable and nice very helpful and welcomingNot badFor a newark botanical

Review №40

I like the products. Im not crazy about the energy I receive from the women that work there. They arent patient or particularly nice. Two women stand out with positive energy - Kiara and the manager (not the owner). I dont recall the managers name but I havent seen her there in a while. I overheard Sherisse getting incredibly impatient with one of the clients in the store during my last visit. It was cringy. I thought about this for several days but the experience keeps returning to me so I came to write a review. There are other botanicas closer to my house that I havent bothered to try because I trust Yeyeos products, however, given my past few experiences in the store I will check out the places nearest me. I do not pay nearly $20 and drive more than an hours time to have a candles dressed with rushed and unwilling hands or be in a store with stagnant energy.

After many years, I finally found a Botanica that makes me feel at home. Their staff is second to none and they are always willing to go above and beyond. They excel in so many areas such as guidance, knowledge, friendliness, customer service, location, price, and the variety of stock. You name it, and they have all! Love them!

Review №45

I used to go here when I first started my work. They’re intentions are not good and they will play on your emotions. My suggestion? Bless your own candles and make your own potions and things of that nature. At least then you’ll know for sure that the energy put into your work is pure and filled with the right intentions. The woman who does the readings (the one who wears white and truly believes she’s gods only gift) is egotistical. With all of her alleged experience she didn’t read me well at all. And she had me wait for a few hours before she decided to grace me with her presence. Don’t let them or anybody play with your vessel or your soul. If all else fails, just follow your gut.

This is place is wonderful. Items usually in stock if not they can order it for you. Friendly, knowledgeable and real... If you arent ready to be honest with yourself and just looking for someone to tell you what you want to hear this aint the place for you. If youre ready to learn and grow make an appointment for a reading and be amazed.

Review №49

The boutique is very well maintained. When you first walk in everything looks nice and organized. So I give them two thumbs up for cleanliness. Lucy one of the girls who works there was also very pleasant and knowledgeable about the candles. I normally don’t take the time to write reviews. However, after my experience there I felt that I had to share it with those who may not know where to turn to for help. This was by far the WORST I repeat the WORST reading I’ve ever had. Before the reading even began I was asked dozens of questions about my personal life and ONLY after I answered the questions asked she did the reading. No disrespect to the person who did the reading, but OBVIOUSLY after I told you about me you’re going to plot the dots. WAIT!!! It gets better. Supposedly I was the first person in line for a reading because I walked in when the boutique opened up at 10:00am. After I waited 3 1/2 hours to be seen I was skipped because her god daughter showed up and also wanted to be seen. Everybody’s time is valuable and important and she definitely did not care how long I waited. In my honest opinion, DO NOT come to this boutique. RUNNNN!!! I don’t recommend it.

My experiences prior to accidentally discovering Yeyeo Botanica left me somewhat skeptical about Spiritual Work, but my inner voice insisted that I trust the staff at Yeyeo. Even after my 1st visit I started to see and feel results on a variance of issues that plagued my life. It is through the help, support, and guidance of Yeyeo Botanica that I am proud to say a major burden has been lifted from my shoulders.The staff members communicate well and are pleasant, and insightful. I consider them an extension of my family and intend on continuing the relationship I have with them.Thank you so much for all that you have helped me with.

The shop is great, though its not the best place to get a tarot reading. I tried to make an appointment 2 times already and both times it was cancelled with no explanation. The shop looks good though, but if you need a tarot reading go someone else. No offense to the owners it’s just my honest opinion. Some people can have a serious situation (like me) and wait for weeks for the reading like a last hope. I lost so much time because was hoping for help.

I had purchase some candles online for the first time. When the products arrived I took it out box and the glass was broken and cut my finger. However, the other candles I purchased were not in the box. I took a picture of my finger and emailed yeyeo and asked about the missing items. The owner told me he thought I wanted my candles blessed and placed on the their altar. Then they told me to file a claim with UPS. No apology was given to me. I never will buy again. Unprofessional. I will continue to buy from original products. They are the best.

Its the best place ever for spiritual work... If youre learning... Its plenty of books to buy... Staff is very helpful.I recommend organizing your problems and Come to the shop one by one problem because you get the most info that way. Plus it will confuse you less... Thats what i do.The readings are BEYONDDDDDDDDDD everything 💜 that is life. There are many services too... I learned as I kept coming.If you believe in the spiritual... This store is the best for your needs. And this is the only place u should go if your starting out in Essex County. The air is just wonderful and they are there to help and lie like other places.Side bar: I dont have no understanding why those ppl post those negative comments but i had no such experience. The store is very popular because they are the BEST. Ive been going for months. But they have another reader that is the BEST too.My guess is ppl are over reacting...
