Tenzing Momo

So glad I stumbled upon this place. A great shop to buy incense, oils, herbals and everything to go along with it. Good place to get an authentic gift - which is what I did.

TENZING MOMO is my favorite place to just enjoy my senses in the whole of Seattle !!! Next to the SIFF i take TM with me whenever i think about that city !!As an Artist , everything about Seattle , at one time, was sOOOO perfect: the Light, the Smell of the sea, the appearance of a different , beauteous view around every corner, the hills, and mostly, i guess, the MIX of many peoples!!! As a person raised and bred in NYC it was quite a revelation to actually be part of the Pacific Rim, in a way (i AM a Romantic and still protect my ideals if possible. Laughable, to some, i know. i DO read the World News and etc. but COME ON!!! Well, thats how i felt about the whole "thing" of Seattle....and i hadnot even fallen in love with my partner-to-be, yet!! i, and later WE, would always stroll around the Market for goodies:Sourdough bread at 3 Girls or that great cippino next door to them or goof on the tourists' watchin' the flying fish!! Homemade jewellery, friends, and of course: TENZING MOMO !!! I still have my chart for reading the Iris of the eye, and a necklace from Tibetan bones made into little skulls!! And the oils....Heliotrope, bitter Almond (be careful! it stings!!), and experimenting with the smells of a million radiant gardens!! ..until your nose just CRASHES!!!! i started to acquire my TM habit in the early 80's until rich people ruined the whole thing and i had to move again! (first NYC, SanFran, Seattle and now ??? Portland, Maine) i still get goodies on-line from there and miss some of S's greatest hits like the FilmFest and ridin' the ferry just cause it's a nice day, day trips to LaPush or Port Townsend and the great blending of so many cultures. but, as i said: Tenzing Momo ....a whiff of one of their oils and i am transported back there!!! thanx 4 reading this. Roibeard o hAirt :Artist, Romantic Warrior, idealist ...

ordered fragrance oils and wasnt disappointed!!! they arrived carefully packed. thank you so much! the bag they came in even smelled like the shop!

I was not able to go in the shop due to distance, however the person I spoke to on the phone multiple times answered all of my questions and was very patient with me. He even did research for me to ensure I was able to buy the correct version of plant, for my health issues. Thank you so much!

Very helpful and very well stocked. The only thing is, if you're a local, the prices are not for you. The prices are inflated for the tourists that come through the Market. I've asked, and they are inflexible with the prices. So although they are the shop closest to me, with the best stock and best selection (and best energy) I will have to go somewhere else.

Store is currently closing at 5pm, not 6, and I arrived five minutes to closing as result. The staff were still very friendly and helpful, especially as a weird individual had followed me in and was behaving very aggressively and alarming. Once he had been shooed out they let me make my purchase and made sure I was okay. Thank you to the staff that were there today. 💕

I love coming here. Every time I come in, I find new things that I never noticed before. My intentions for coming here have changed over the years, and even as a newbie to whatever journey I’m on now, the staff have always been helpful.

I don't get to Seattle very often but found this place in 1990. One of the best shoppes of this variety I have ever encountered. It is a must visit place. They make the best patchouli oil I have ever used.

I swear by this special shop. Since '91, this is my go to for oils tarot etc!

I have been to this establishment quite a few times over the years. The poor service has been so consistently bad that I have to put my two cents in. I work in retail and understand the pressures of customer service. I also understand that relationships are developed with co-workers. The customer should never feel like they are intruding on someones conversation in a retail setting. Thats how I always feel there. There was no attempt to speak at a lower volume with the two employees cursing and carrying on casually about their personal lives. There was also a sense of irritation at the customers walking into the store, who were not welcomed or acknowledged. The selection of merchandise is well enough to keep me coming back despite the poor service. Perhaps the employees should be paid a commission in order to be even slightly interested in the customer.
