Updating my review as I contacted the owners to return the item I got that my mom didn't like due to the colors. They were very helpful and made the process very easy! I always try to shop small businesses, but I don't normally come across ones that will make exceptions to their no return policy. Kudos to this business! The item was beautiful and hand-beaded so the quality this store offers was never an issue. I still have an issue with being followed around and being watched like a hawk the entire time I was there. I hope they talk to their employees about how uncomfortable this makes the customers as I would like to come back here if I was back in town. read more

BEWARE! The items in this store are extremely overpriced and they won't let you return things and don't have the "All sales final" policy posted anywhere except at the bottom of the receipt. I bought a cape and some shirts and when I got home and tried the items on the chemicals from the factory they were made in caused an allergic reaction (nose running, watery eyes, throat closing up) and my mom had the same reaction as well. The cape did not have a tag that states the materials of the fabric or the country where it was made. It's as if they removed it. When I went to return the items the staff got really worked up and emotional about it and they sent a manager to talk to me and I think she was just told to tell me she wasn't going to refund my items no matter what. (I had receipts, all price tags were attached, and it was within a week of purchase.) I told her I had a reaction to the clothes and she said she wasn't going to question if my reaction was real or not but no one has ever had any problems with their clothes before. Then she asked me "What's the REAL reason you want to return these items???" I said, "They made me sick?!?!" That seems like a reasonable reason to return something. I also told her that if they don't allow returns they should tell people before they buy things. She said I would have known if I would have reviewed the bottom of the receipt. I asked her how seeing the policy on the receipt would have helped me know not to buy the item since you don't get a receipt until after you buy the item. How would that change anything? She goes, "Well, it wouldn't. It' wouldn't matter because you would have already bought it and all sales are final." I asked, "If I asked for a return immediately after being given the receipt and seeing the fine print on the bottom would I have been able to get a refund?" She said no and realized what she was saying did not make any sense. Then said they aren't required to have the policy posted anywhere in the store. I informed her that they absolutely are. By law. Then she said other shops around here don't allow returns and don't have signs posted. I said, "Well that is illegal." She said she didn't know anything about that and wasn't going to look into it. Eventually they agreed to give me store credit and they said the owner would call me and let me know if they decided to refund my money or not but it's been several weeks and I haven't gotten a call. No surprise there. After this experience I never want to buy anything from this store or their other stores (Houss on Bishop and Home on Bishop). **UPDATE** a few days ago I saw the EXACT same cape I purchased from their store for $170 (the item that did not have a factory tag) on amazon for $45. BEWARE OF THIS STORE!!! read more

Bishop Street Market - The only place their policy is stated in at the bottom of the receipt. It is not posted anywhere in the store! Deceptive trade practices. - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I love this shop! A must stop this is whenever I'm strolling Bishop Street. Beautifully displayed are their knickknacks, some functional, some whimsical, all of great taste and fun. Browsing has never been a problem. Friendly and helpful is the staff. Gifts of candles, infusers, and other gifts I have purchased here. And, for myself, lucky to include in my wardrobe, a few original artsy pieces of wonderfully designed and constructed clothing. CHEERS! read more

I do not appreciate being scolded by rude women. If you have a policy about people taking pictures in your market, it is best to put up a sign on your door informing patrons before yelling at them. I made it four steps in the door. I attempted to smell some of the soaps, though the aroma in the store was overpowering anything we were trying to smell, then came upon some locally made spices with an amusing name, when I was yelled at for trying to take a picture. We immediately left. There is a tactful way of going about things. She does not appear to care. read more

NEW Bishop Street Market is my "go to" for gifts, unique clothing, gorgeous jewelry, and my favorite candle. The customer service is fantastic. It's rare to have a sales person available to help pick out the perfect gift -- and these sales people know their inventory. Grateful to the amazing owners for always having new items that are fabulous! I live in Dallas and frequent this shop. I highly recommend Bishop Street Market. read more

Very rude employees. I was browsing and was rudely interrupted by an employee who made me very uncomfortable when I asked if there was another pair of earrings in the back since the only ones left were damaged. Awful and disgusting. I regret wasting any of my time in there. read more

The store does not maintain a return policy. I find that owners who don't have return policies don't really care about cultivating a long-term customer relationship. It basically says "Who cares if you're dissatisfied with the purchase, we got your money." As a result, I won't shop there again, I'm sharing my dissatisfaction so others will avoid buyer's remorse, and will dissuade my acquaintances from doing more than browsing. Also suggest reading the other low star reviews and the owner's thoughtless responses and excuses when responding to customer experiences. Just reinforces my experience and belief that customer care is not an important shopping experience in this store. I also did some digging into the items sold: Products are obscenely marked up and I imagine the owner/employees are aggressive of phone use b/c many items can be found on sites like Etsy and Amazon for much less and with return policies. The store does manage to post up many signs informing customers not to take pictures but no signs about no refunds. The receipt (after purchase) is the first and only notification to the customer and the font is incredibly small and illegible. Not a small business to support in that area. UPDATED NOTE: The owner has since communicated that he is interested in providing a refund for the purchase; however, after his responses posted to my Google review, I am no longer comfortable with interacting with him. Feel free to read the posting/responses and make your own determinations. read more

This shop was kind of cool. I agree with Christy that it's more of a boutique than a market. They sale things like purses, soaps, lotions, candles, knickknack things. I forgot to look at prices. By then I was so over shopping so I was ready to leave. I did love a lot of the birthday cards on the back wall. There were some funny ones!! Overall it's a cute store and smells wonderful inside. It would be a good place to get a gift for someone. read more

There is a nice way to ask that someone not take pictures. They had some funny named spice blends from some guys out of Dallas. I can't remember now because we totally got yelled at about taking the photo. We promptly left. I will never be back. read more

Are you in the market for an overpriced handbag? A pot of scented oil and some diffusing rods? Pricey lotion or soap? This is your place. The selection is extremely limited (the items I just listed are pretty much the only things you can find here, plus maybe some budget-blowing pottery). It's hardly a "market;" you can see everything in the store in under 10 minutes. Well, wait, I take that back...they do have some funny cards along the back wall, so that might make it 15 or 20 minutes. Still, there's nothing unique about anything in here...so if I were you, I wouldn't bother driving all the way to Bishop Arts just to see this store. You can find equally overpriced boutiques full of diffusing rods and French soap all over Dallas (Snider Plaza comes to mind). read more

I have been shopping here for years, and always receive the best customer service! The clothes are fabulous, and the associates know exactly how they fit and always recommend something perfect. Pro tip: ask to be added to the invite list for their parties, they don't disappoint! read more

Nice little place for gift shoppy kinda stuff. If you are in Oak Cliff stop in for the unique items like womens necklaces and jewelry, candles etc. read more

Worst experience ever. Friend and I were checking out a book for a friend and she rudely came up to us and said "you know those books are for sale right?". We had only been there for less than a minute and were browsing the store for less than 5 minutes. Everything in the store is tacky and overpriced. Will NEVER go back again. Way to make a customer feel threatened. read more

I love this store! I never visit the Bishop Art District without spending at least half an hour browsing through the awesome items sold at the Bishop Street Market. They have so many cool things! Books, clocks, candles, kitchen stuff, locally made T-shirts, beautiful handbags, interesting oddities, an entire wall of off-color greeting cards...it's a really lovely store filled with great stuff. On my last visit, I purchased one of their beautiful glass cutting boards, with an image of the Dallas skyline on it, as a Christmas present for my parents. It was slightly over $30 after taxes, a totally fair price given the beautiful craftsmanship and the knowledge that I'm supporting a local artist. When I went to check out, the very kind gentleman at the register asked me if he could gift wrap it for me, free of charge, so of course I took him up on it! I got my choice of four different wrapping papers, and then he carefully wrapped my purchase and put a beautiful white ribbon on it. So nice! Sometimes, while you're shopping, there will be little treats to sample--on this visit, there were some delightful sugar-coated shortbread cookies. What a fun treat. The Bishop Street Market remains one of my favorite shops in the District. read more

Beautiful place! So many fun things to look at. We came to Dallas from out of town and Bishop Arts was our last stop before heading back home, and we found a beautiful souvenir here! Some items were pricey, but the glass piece we bought was very reasonable and unique. The staff was very friendly but not intrusive and we had fun browsing. read more

This was a really cute shop and I was super excited until I saw the prices lol they weren't terrible but I'm not paying 36 dollars for a stuffed animal I'm just not . The woman who helped us around was super sweet and really helped us . I ended up buying two soaps from France . My mom got a couple things . It's a nice store but the prices can be a little high but you can go here and get really nice gifts and Knick knacks for yourself or other people read more

Shop local! This is such a beautiful little shop located in Bishop Arts District. They have a bunch of cute cards and lots of other cute items. While it is a tad more expensive than other shops, I would rather pay a little more to support local. I'll be back! read more

I always come here and purchase their candles and and scented lotions my personal favorite (Gardenia). Ive gotten personal texts When they are back in stock and that makes me feel appreciated as a customer! It's a great place for small gifts and their staff is always so eager to help you browse through their colorful collection of things that make you smile! read more

I want that texas state shaped cutting board!! $138...i almost talked myself into purchasing it. Maybe someone will get it for me for Christmas :D. There were several things here that caught my eye and made me want to burn my budget...earrings, necklaces, a cross over, greeting cards, a couple of lotions, clothing, and of course, that cutting board! Great place to find unique gifts for others and yourself! Give them a whirl. read more

Bishop Street Market - I want it!! - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Dallas, Texas

It's a cute little novelty shop where you can find unique gifts or home decor items. They have a lot of candles, scented oils, and cool greeting cards. We went in after having dinner at Hattie's recently, and they were setting up for the Holidays. They had a cute tree with unique ornaments. We were immediately greeted by a friendly lady who talked to us the whole time, which made it fun. She showed me some items that she thought that I would like. One of them was a sparkly acorn ornament. I love the unique items in the store and loved the hospitality. Well...there was another employee who came up and rushed her through checking me out. It was a little off putting, but it was a cute store. I do think that the prices are a little high,but it is not like I would do all of my decor shopping here. It's just a fun place to look around, and pick up something that appeals to you. read more

They have great little trinkets and treasures here! Check it out if you're needing a gift for a friend or coworker. Funny birthday cards, smell goods, jewlery and candles! There are lots of one of a kind things you would not be able to find anywhere else. I always make it a point to stop through here when I'm in Bishop Arts to see what they have new in store. Everyone who works here is so friendly and helpful too. The prices aren't too shabby either considering the quality of goodies that they sell! read more

I want so much to nudge them into the 5-star category. And maybe I will by the time I finish writing this review. First off, laugh-out-loud cards! They should add a tip jar or something along the lines of ".25 for each laugh, please" I ended up buying over $30 in greeting cards. I know. Ouch. But, they're so funny! If you end up getting one from me, you'll agree it was worth it. Second, the soaps from France. I know I'll be back for stocking stuffers. I got the Lime Zest one and I almost wanted to hurry home and shower just to use it. The store has a cute selection of gift ideas in the form of candles and other swag. They also have a fresh stack of issues of The Dallas Voice. Yay! Finally, the clerk was super helpful returning the cards I ended up nixing on second though. He was also really easy on the eyes. (And if he's reading this and if he's single, please drop me a message!) He had the most envious, perfectly shaped beard, too! I know I'll stop by again whenever I eat at Eno's Pizza Tavern down the street. Here's hoping the clerk is single. =) read more

Oops. I should've read Yelp first before buying something here. They do have some unique items here, but they're all significantly marked up (25% above MSRP in my case). I think what you're paying for here is that they bring the unique things into the same store. The first thing I thought was weird was that there are no returns, only exchange for store credit. Some of the items you find there are pretty unique but the item I purchased was sold at 25% mark up above MSRP. I just happen to go online to look at the item because I was curious about the company. I think it is a unique collection of items they have at this store, but buy knowing that you may be paying more than the item is worth. read more

It could be just us, but we loved this place! 'Market' is a stretch for describing this boutique store. However, we loved its contents. I was drawn to a Miche handbag with interchangeable covers. It was green and very 'Mad Men', so I had to purchase it. She ended up with a lightweight black/white scarf. There was a little bit of everything here. Decor, accessories, bath. I also found a nifty 'magnet' that will adhere to my stainless steel fridge doors. There's a lot that you can say about this place, but I thought it was a great gift shop. The owner had a bowl of Mexican wedding cookies out for nibbling, and I found that to be a nice touch. read more

Bishop Arts Market is one of the BEST Small Businesses in Oak Cliff, and for that matter all of the DFW area. They have been open since before the Bishop Arts District was anywhere near what it is today and deserve kudos for sticking it out through the "early" years. They're our go to for the basics, like funny ( adult humor) Cards, unique candles, soaps (love the Almond/Honey french soap), etc. But they also have a great variety of gifts for that special occasion, or just for ones self. FYI - the review below from Jason P sounds like someone who needs mental help read more

Not usually my thing (overpriced, artistic, fancy stuff) but the cards in here were awesome!!! I mean, a weirdly good selection that had me practically rolling on the floor laughing. (omg....rofl in real life) Worth a check-out if you are walking by, especially if you like handmade, unique items. read more

I liked this store. It had excellent artistic household items (like beautiful wooden bowl sets, cheeseboards, stainless and metal dishware, etc). I enjoyed the artwork and the variety of items in the store. I ended up buying a purse there that I *love* for only $45. They seem to have a variety in pricing just like their variety of items. Some of it is well-priced and reasonable. Some of it is expensive...but I can also see why (handmade, time-consuming to make, and made of top-notch materials). It's a great store for gift-buying. I probably won't shop here a lot, but I will check it out when I'm in the neighborhood. read more

Great staff and get gifts! Always fun new stuff here and love the decor! read more

Love walking around the store and seeing local art and products made by people in the Oak Cliff area. I'm always drawn towards the hand made soaps their smell are always a nice feel in the stores decor. read more

Definitely one of my favorite stores (tie with Home at Bishop) in the whole DFW Metroplex!! Awesome goods and unique items for sale. I particularly love the customer service from the entire staff especially from the owners Cody and Gustavo. They always give special attention to their customers and have great decorating ideas. I'll keep coming back for those special one-of-a-kind items but also for the exceptional shopping experience!! read more

I liked the store, some very cute things however I was turned off by the staff. Im not sure if the gentleman behind the counter talking to his friend/ coworker was the owner or not but we were not greeted when we walked in (it wasn't busy) but that is forgivable. What really upset me was that I had to stand at the jewelry counter for several minutes (literally right in front of them) before they even acknowledged me. I asked to see some pieces, which were lovely, but I'm not going to overpay for terrible service, so I went next door and bought something after I was warmly welcomed. read more

So many quirky little do-dad's on display. This is a great place to visit to find an off the beaten path gifts and accompanying cards. The candle selection was transcendent with so many pleasing scents. The paintings, sculptures, shirts, bags, items for shelves, and host of other items make it worth a walk around. The 2-star rather than 3-star rating is because the cashier staff totally ignored us for more than 20 minutes as my friend and I were shopping; so point deduction for poor customer service. read more

Everything in the shop was super cute and priced at a good range. The customer service is another thing..... I was going to purchase a deck of cards but, was hesitant because I was traveling. I asked an employee if they sold the item online and became very rude towards me. As I told her I was unsure about the purchase, she rolled her eyes. So, I left the shop. read more

Everything from candles, soaps, books, and cards. It's my girlfriend's favorite shop in Dallas. What really separates the store from the rest is the layout. The prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. It's also one of the few places that has South Austin Gallery coasters and cutting boards. I love portrayals of local landmarks on their kitchen ware and South Austin does a great job of that. read more

A true jewel in the neighborhood. Such a great place to find a gift for any occasion...and in love their ornaments during the holiday season. I find myself popping in when I need a house warming gift, birthday gift for a friend or just want to find an unusual gift for myself! The staff is welcoming and helpful! read more

Bishop Street Market is a favorite destination for cards for all all occasions, jewelry, gifts (for friends, family and myself) as well as art by local artists and decor. Their lines of soaps, lotions and candles have something to fit everyone's tastes. It's never the same store twice as the inventory turns and they bring in new products frequently. Their Christmas decor is always fun, humorous and colorful. The owners live in Oak Cliff and are passionate about it... they are a big part of why Bishop Arts District is such a success. read more

Very cool store in the heart of the Bishop Arts District. Lots of functional art at what I felt was fairly reasonable prices. Quirky and eclectic is how I'd describe their collection. Maybe wouldn't come out of my way to shop there, but definitely worth a look-see when in the neighborhood. read more

D and I were walking through Bishop Arts the other day and found this little shop. Not so much a market as a boutique, it's got some cute albeit expensive things. I loved the designer candles that I would never pay for, the handbags, and the other random knickknacks. It had some classy digs. The owners never made me feel like some cheap punk because I was just browsing and sipping my complimentary hot cider. The place reminded me of my artist best friend who has no money, has expensive taste, and a mile high credit card bill. He would any and everything from here even it was a handtowel just because it had that certain air to it. I got his Christmas present here. I actually did find a very classy red leather flask for $20 which they expertly giftwrapped for me free of charge. I wouldn't buy a whole lot from here but if you know someone who has expensive taste and would like a little something with class, this is the place to shop for them. read more

Have always enjoyed going to Bishop Street Market since its inception. We still have and enjoy many of the items first purchased there. Michael, Paul and the rest of the staff we've talked to have always been very friendly and informative regarding their merchandise. Always a place filled with new ideas and inspiration! I wish them many years of continued success! read more
