Tourists of Savannah, make this your spot to stock up on groceries for your trip! We had a ton of fun stuff to try

This is such a lovely store! And the owner is extremely nice and bubbly. Please stop by and support Nellys. There is a variety of cultural items in stock. This place is truly a treasure and is accessible to all.

The store itself is beautiful, and I’m genuinely happy to see Savannah’s first Black-owned grocery store open. That’s something worth celebrating. But I left feeling disappointed. It didn’t feel like a grocery store created with working-class Black families in mind. It’s located in an area that many Black residents don’t regularly shop, and the overall atmosphere felt geared more toward SCAD students, tourists, and affluent downtown customers. One thing that really stood out was the lack of prices. I’ve always heard the saying, “If you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it,” and that’s honestly how it felt walking through the store. Whether that’s the intention or not, it made the shopping experience feel less accessible.I’m not saying a Black-owned business has to cater only to Black people. It absolutely doesn’t. But I was hoping Savannah’s first Black-owned grocery store would also feel welcoming and attainable for working-class families too. I truly hope the business succeeds because representation matters. I just wish it felt more connected to the broader community that was excited to support it.

Awesome experience! We were welcomed as we ended the store. There is a lot of natural light which speaks to the intentionally of the store. Items were clearly labeled. The products supported every dietary need. The customer care was excellent. Nelly communicated with such passion & detail. We sampled the fresh cold pressed juices. They were refreshing & delicious. We brought several home. This is a definite MUST STOP.

What an incredible addition to Savannah! Nelly’s Grocery & Wine is a beautiful, thoughtfully designed market that offers much more than groceries. From fresh produce to specialty foods and unique products from small businesses, every shelf has something worth discovering. You can tell the owners genuinely care about quality, community, and creating a welcoming shopping experience. It’s refreshing to see a business that intentionally supports other small businesses while providing a great place for neighbors to shop. Congratulations on your Grand Opening! I highly recommend stopping by, whether you’re looking for fresh ingredients, unique snacks, or just want to support a locally owned, Black-owned business that’s making a positive impact in downtown Savannah. Wishing the Nelly’s team continued success!
