About Mama Jones Africa

At MamaJones Africa, we believe that food is more than just what we eat, it’s identity, it’s memory, it’s culture. Our online African grocery store was born from a simple yet powerful mission

Who We Are

We are a proudly African-owned e-commerce brand dedicated to providing authentic African groceries to homes across the United States. From the spices that remind you of your mother’s stew to the swallows that complete your soup — we stock the essentials that shape African kitchens.

What started as a small passion project has grown into a trusted marketplace for over 1,500 Africans and food lovers seeking quality ingredients, hard-to-find pantry staples, and the flavors they grew up with.

What We Offer

We specialize in curating and delivering a wide selection of African groceries all over United states

Our Mission

To make authentic African groceries accessible, affordable, and reliable for Africans living abroad, while preserving the culture, flavors, and food traditions of the continent.

We’re not just selling groceries — we’re bridging continents through food. Every item we deliver is a taste of home, a conversation starter, a memory reborn.

Our Vision

To become the go-to African food marketplace in the diaspora — connecting people to the flavors of their heritage, and empowering local African brands to reach global audiences.

We’re building more than a grocery store. We’re building a cultural movement powered by taste, memory, and belonging.
