John Bead and Craft Outlet 4271 Lake Avenue, Blasdell, NY 14219

"Can't believe I never heard of this place until very very recently. It's like all the good parts of Jo-Ann's or Michael's, except with prices like Amazon or Temu. Seriously unbeatable. Don't think twice about visiting - if you're reading this review bc you're on the fence, trust me, just go! ...but maybe leave your credit card at home. (⁠◠⁠‿⁠・⁠)"

"Wow, was this place a disappointment! Prices were NOT outlet prices, unless you counted some poorly made garbage on their discount table. Was very underwhelmed by the semi-precious area & charms. If you're a serious jewelry designer, don't waste your time here; save money & get better selection & quality ordering from a reputable bead company. Walked out without buying anything & that's never happened in a bead store before!"

"Nice selection. Love the bead bar BUT I saw they had Swarovski crystals, that they purchased wholesale( which means a better deal, owner told me purchased them wholesale.), they had 144pc for $50.00. VERY high markup. Online u can purchase the Exact same thing for $20.00 144pc Swarovski 4mm crystals. I did some looking into it, and it's way overpriced."

"As an employee - I am completely amazed at the selection and prices for all. the. beads. So. many. beads. We strive for outstanding customer service and value. I love working here and helping crafters find everything they need for their projects. I learn something new every day and honestly think this is a fun place to work."

"This is a really fun store! There’s a great selection of all sorts of beads, trims, appliqués, and even some craft items. The staff is helpful if you have questions and I can always find a few things that I didn’t know I needed."
