"Amazing stuff, but terrible costumer service, very disappointing. I stopped by tonight looking for a birthday gift, and 2 of the people who work there didn't stop following me. I was never asked if I needed help or if I was looking for something specific... nothing, so it's obvious those weren't the reasons. It was very uncomfortable and random because I've been there multiple times and I don't think it happened before. At the beginning I thought they were also costumers because, literally, they were just walking around looking at the items, but then I noticed that every time I touched something they were very close to me; and it got pretty obvious when I was in the back area, and one of them got out of the counter and just stand next to me pretending was organizing or looking at something. I walked away to see if it was only in my mind, but no, this person started to follow me again. And right after that the other person across the room asking me if I wanted to pay for a necklace that I had just chosen, I wasn't standing at the register or anything to do that. At the end I only bought the necklace because I really liked it, but didn't wanna keep looking for the gift because the whole fan's club following me... I found all of this very rude, disrespectful and unprofessional, more for a place called "Friends". I also work in costumer service and also worked in retail when I was younger, so I'm 100% sure there're other aways to keep your store safe without compromising respect for customers."

"Very cute store with so many fun and unique items, great if you're looking for a gift or just cool home decor. They also have vintage, reworked clothing items!"

"This was my first time visiting the shop, and I was very pleasantly surprised by the huge selection, and very fair prices! For anyone visiting, this would be a great place to get New York specific gifts! Their selection of vintage clothes is very well curated and all very clean! I would highly recommend this shop to locals and tourists alike!"

"As a small shop consisting largely of small gifts and home goods, Friends offers a lot for those looking for a store with hipster flair. In pair with gifts, a small section of used apparel is also available. The staff is friendly and welcoming to all, with items being affordable!"

"Typical L train trip to Bushwick.. started at the larger thrift shops, got totally overwhelmed, and then stumbled into this gem. Just the right amount of inventory, impeccably organized, and well priced! Perfect boutique with a little bit of everything. Snatched a cute shmmer dress and earrings."
