This place is not the biggest, but the selection they have is beautiful. They were very nice and helpful, and their prices are better than manhattan. I'm so thankful we have a place like this in our neighborhood! read more

Lester's has been my favorite notions store for DECADES! Reliable, well stocked, great customer service! Longtime local business and asset to community! read more

I came here today with my young daughter and as I was entering the woman (whom I presume was the owner ) stopped me and said they were closing (it was only 5pm but online it says they close at 6) nonetheless she let me in, before I could reach any material she said hurry up we're closing. I said ok I just need some ribbon then a man standing behind the counter said hurry up we're closing as I continued to look at the different ribbons and he cut one for me then stormed off in frustration because I couldn't decide between to colors the women then came and cut another ribbon for me. The man then came back telling me I had to leave because "they" were waiting for them and they have to go as I asked for just a few more minutes he cursed me out and told me to leave and the woman co-signing says to him this is why we shouldn't let people in. I highly recommend that no one shops here. They do not caring about their customers and are extremely rude and disrespectful. read more

Amazing selection, staff and service! Got everything I needed and was surprised by even more stuff!

I've been coming to this store since it was located on Broadway. The owners are so kind, and they know their business. I got some baby shower ribbons made for giveaway bags as well as the chair, and I couldn't have been happier with their service and professionalism. As my crafting journey has evolved, they were a big part of my start, always suggesting things that would take my crochet art to the next level. They always have a great supply of items and all prices are justified. I'm so glad to have them in my neighborhood. They helped me match yarns and pick the perfect fabrics for projects. They also connected with me via chat when I was looking for supplies but wasn't in the area. They are so helpful I'll never stop going here. read more

Extremely kind, I miss when fabric stores had relationships with their customers and this helped a lot

Ive been shopping at Lester's for a long time, years ago when they were locate directly on Broadway with a much larger space. Though there is a smaller space and less selection, there is a certain level of eclectic charm in the items they do carry. I am always fortunate in finding some really nice African prints unique to this store. They have a lot of pattern, notions and trims as well at a pretty good price. Take a gander, it worth a visit. read more

Very small shop Very limited inventory. But Lester is the sweetest guy. I am sure he would try and order you what you needed if you had the time to wait for it read more

It would be great to get more information on their actual hours. Today is Monday & on yelp it says they're open until 7 however the door are locked shut , they aren't answering the phone nor do they have an answering machine that can be utilized to give details on their hours of operation. I wanted to support a small local neighborhood business but that is now impossible. read more

Fantastic little shop that saved me a trip to Manhattan. Widest selection? No, it's a modest shop, but the owners are super nice and efficient. They had everything I needed to make some tutus. They were sweet, fast, and not at all pushy about selling more stuff. Plus they had the cheapest price for tulle $1.25 per yard for the plain colored tulle. read more

The man running the store was very sweet and friendly and let me purchase some yarn even though i was a few cents short (cash only). Good selection and good prices :-) Thank you!!! read more

Lester is the sweetest and is always so kind and helpful! I find something amazing every time I go and have made some of the coolest pieces using fabric and trimming from the shop! Definitely a staple and I will be a loyal customer for life! read more

Well saw this place on yelp n decided to check it out since its in my neighborhood. Come to find out they were on vacation lol...... So I went back and the place is cool. They have neat buttons but not many fabrics!! read more

The staff here are very friendly and helpful. It's a small space but they've got a whole lot of stuff!

No store like this around anymore. it was a great find! all the things you could need for a party ranging from small at the house to a baby shower decorations for every holiday. small and family owned, Though the location out of the way well worth it the prices are super cheap and reasonable. read more

Lester's has moved on Quincy and Ralph Ave..so please patronize at that location .we need him in the neighborhood..He is such a great person and this is why I continue to shop there.. read more

I give this place a 4 star not because it's spectacular, but because it's what we all need. Do they have a ton of options in each item?No. But their best to try and carry some of what everyone needs. from vinyl, to felt. Candles,to glitter and party supplies. They are very good at having a little of everything. So expect to find what you need in a hurry to finish up a project. But don't expect 8 different types of scissors to choose from. read more

They have the best prices on ribbon I have seen in Brooklyn and had everything I needed when others did not. They are polite and helpful and have a wide range of things to choose from. If they don't have it, they will soon. If they had a website, they probably would be like everyone else. Staying true is what brought me back. read more

Great shop if you are planning your own wedding; making your own decorations. They have so many supplies and offer you discounts when you're buying a lot. They can order special supplies for you as well if you need it. read more

This is an awesome store if you live in the neighborhood. They have both party supplies and fabric. It seems like it could be hit or miss depending on what you are looking for. I went in for a few sewing notions and was pleased with the selection they have. I will definitely come back again! read more

This review is solely for the yarn. I came here to buy some lion brand yarn for my quilt I am trying to complete. I walk in and see all the yarn is behind the counter which makes absolutely no sense to me. I ask her if I can go behind the counter to feel them and she says no but there is yarn on the other side of the counter. I find some yarn I could settle for and ask her for the larger ball or yarn. She hands it to me and it feels rough as sandpaper AND it's not even the same color. I tell her it is not the right one and she says it is. Really? -____- I was born AT night, not LAST night. I ask her "can you please give me the exact replica of this ball of yarn? I am buying it for the texture." She tells me that they don't have the same exact yarn on the customer side and the register side but it is almost similar. What?!?! Then why....I didn't even finish. I just said "thank you but I must shop elsewhere." What kind of sense does that make? Well anyway, don't come here if you want yarn. Plus, they're super overpriced for mediocre quality yarn. NO BUENO! read more

I really don't like this fabric store. I don't even know if I would call it a fabric store. It is very cheesy... a kindergarten teachers dream. The fabrics are beyond low quality and the color spectrums that are sold here are really bright and all you can find is thin low quality polyesters. I would only go here to get new singer needles or yarn needles because they sell those for cheap but everything else here is garbage. read more
