The staff is genuinely friendly and actually helpful. The kind of people who know their stuff and want you to succeed in your project. Huge selection of fabrics, quilting cottons, upholstery, yarn, and every sewing notion you could possibly need. They offer classes, personalized service, on site sewing machine repair, and their prices actually feel fair for the quality. Good value, especially compared to ordering online and guessing. Bonus points for the unexpected gifts and Jellycat finds. I went in for supplies and definitely left holding something I did not plan on buying.

I visited on President's Day and it was a tad busy inside the store; but that's to be expected as it was busy everywhere! To be honest, the reason I stopped in here is because I saw the F*R*I*E*N*D*S gear repping Ventura. I will always be a tourist in my town. :) And, could I *be anymore serious? :) Staff was friendly; not too pushy. I loved that the store had a very "open" feeling inside, too. I get frustrated sometimes in stores Downtown that are cramped inside because I am always afraid I am going to knock something over. The souvenirs are really nice and well-made, too. Definitely does *not have the Vegas gift-shop vibe, if that makes sense. These items aren't mass produced...and you can tell. You can tell they mean something, too. I ended up getting a few stickers and a birthday present. I would definitely recommend stopping in here next time you're Downtown.

You can look for the Michaels and Sprouts and you'll be a hop, skip, and a jump from all the boooks! REVIEW: Bumping up to 4 starts because for the years and years I have been coming to BN, even before shut down, they are always fully stocked with books and other items. I love it here! I can easily spend 2 hours here perusing the aisles of all the goodness BN carries. (I just recently came for some Harry Potter merch and a planner for next year.) Service is not what it was once was, sadly. But I am old so I remember the good ole' days with fondness. Today, it's basic enough. Thankfully, one doesn't get screamed at across the store of "Welcome!" as it happens in other businesses. Most employees I saw were behind the registers when I was looking around. I did see one employee on the floor, but she was laser focused on something. Prices are on the higher side, thanks to the current state of the economy. However, I feel that the books and other items are of good enough quality to somewhat warrant the $. Be sure to check out upstairs. Also, just a thought, grab a snack or one of the Starb cookies on your way out. It's OK. It's good. It's books. It's BN. :)

Stopped in today in search of a higher quality chain for one of my more expensive pendants and was…read moreblown away by the selection and customer service here at Brooklyn Charm. I've been in here a few times and it's a super cool store. They have charms and chains beyond anything you could ever imagine! On the weekend this spot gets busy and it's a lot of fun watching people pick out custom charms to make their own jewelry. On the weekdays it's a little less busy so I found it to be the perfect opportunity to come in to find a chain for one of my pendants. Shoutout to Mackenzie for providing A+ service and support. Interacting with her was lovely from start to finish. She was super knowledgeable about the selection they have and was eager to help as I had a lot of questions. She took time to explain the difference in pricing between their costume jewelry chains and higher quality chains. Given that my pendant was very pricey to begin with it made sense to splurge for the $60+ dollar chain. It's nice though they have varieties for every type of person and they had chains as cheap as $10 so very reasonable depending what you need. Mackenzie walked me through the different silver chain options to find what would be the best fit for the pendant I brought in. I was super appreciative that she was hands-on and showed me different options so that I could pick out what looked perfect with my peace. She verified my chain length and gave more suggestions and then was able to put it all together, and it looked fabulous! It's always extra special when you have staff who are passionate about the work they do and are very helpful to their customers. This is definitely a shop I would come back to again for my jewelry needs, and I plan to bring some friends who I know have been wanting to make their own custom charm necklaces. Definitely a great local spot in downtown Ventura.

Some mention pricing compared to ordering online, but what you are really paying for is ease, quality, and expertise. Bonus points for shopping small and local.
