Green in BKLYN

I needed a last minute holiday gift for my mom and I’m so glad I went in here! The staff was really helpful when I asked for something interesting and local. I ended up getting a cute apron and beautiful tea towels. My mom loved them! I’ll definitely be back.

I love this store for all my stationary and gifts. They have a wide variety of items including and I love supporting local businesses especially female owned.

I like this place and have been coming on and off for a few years. However, I just moved back to Brooklyn and went to refill my sodastream. I realized that they charge $ 18+ for a refill and most places only charge $ 15. My total for three canisters normally under $ 50 came to over $ 60. I think I will find another place to refill.

Has some nice items but is price gouging. Charges 50% over MSRP on certain items. I am comparing prices to other independent stores too, not chains.

I always shop here because it has the most unique gifts and Brooklyn souvenirs. It also has great green skin care and cosmetics, and the perfumes they carry are very high quality and unique. The only downside is they carry soda stream, which isn’t exactly the most «human friendly» company (to say the least). But all in all, the staff is really friendly and highly knowledgeable, and happy to special order anything for customers.

Cool shop with a bunch of cool lil gift items and stuff. I wanted a blank greeting card for my gal and viola.
The staff always seems helpful and friendly. So while I am not into it, there seems to be a lot of natural soaps and other products in that lane.
Also there is a $ 10 minimum on debt cards. FYI. I’ll be back soon. Cheers.

Green in Brooklyn is an awesome neighborhood shop with just about whatever cool thing you are needing. Postcards, jewerly and accessories, kids stuff, foodie stuff, paper goods, books, magazines, coffee and coffee stuff, seeds, lovely soaps and incenses, yada yada yada just about everything you could need. I love the shop owner and the other employee. Great unique store focused on also staying green. Worth going to for the perfect gift (even if it’s for yourself!)

A big fan of this place! Found a lot of interesting stuff here and Elissa the owner was super friendly and helpful. You can always find something that you need here, from body products to stationery to baby clothes… I love the concept of this store — Elissa really poured her thoughts and passion into it. She gave me great recommendations on the skincare products and still allowed me to use the coupon after it’s expired, which I didn’t realize until the moment I showed her my phone. I got the recyclable stationary bag, the Pangea lip balm and facial mask (6^th time winner of some skincare product award), and had my purchase beautifully gift-​wrapped after I told Elissa that this is a gift. After learning that it has been my first tim exploring that neighborhood, she showed me good coffee shops and local fairs on the map. It might not be too hard for me to find a second green product store, but will I find someone as generous and as warm as Elissa? Probably not. Will definitely go back to explore more and to catch up with Elissa.

Shop owner is very nice! I like that they carry a bunch of other cute things besides cleaning supplies. I got a bunch of old brooklyn post cards for my friends. They also have awesome things like natural bug repellant and bulk cleaning supplies that you can go and fill up your old containers with! Highly recommend!

This place rocks! Elissa and the staff are incredibly helpful – and simply a joy to be around. Any time I’m there, I walk out with great green products, including storage containers for food and drink and the most amazing smelling candles. Thank you for making our neighborhood that much greener!

Can we have more stars for Green in BKLYN? Elissa, the owner, is probably the most helpful and friendly store owner ever. She’s sweet and gracious, and loves to stock and promote locally made products. We started going here to exchange our SodaStream cartridges, and now whenever anyone needs presents, cards, eco-​friendly and all-​around amazing, I send them here. Prices are exactly what you’d see in any other «green» store around Brooklyn/​NYC. All-​around, LOVE this store. Everyone should shop here!

Needed to get a solar charger for an upcoming trip, did some research and it lead me here, I live right on Bushwick Ave so it’s not far at all and decided to take a walk down to see what they had in person.
She knew her stuff and told me of the different models, she didn’t try to force me into buying and respected my wishes to look around a bit more. After some research I settled on the model she had described to me. I’m ordering a crap ton of stuff online and while it would have been easier to just get it shipped to me (because of it’s price it would have been free) I decided to go in and order it from her because she was so friendly. If she hadn’t been nice I would have just ordered it online. Kindness makes a difference.
Great store, on the pricey side yeah but well worth it.

I admit I would like this place more if I weren’t broke, because the selection of products, while not inexpensive, are absolutely worth their price tag, and I essentially want to buy the store. Then again, products such as facial moisturizers and toner last a long time, so maybe I’m being needlessly frugal. All that to say the average price of beauty products is about $ 25 – and the brands, which are eco-​friendly and genuinely organic – are priced correctly. Additionally, the store owner is extremely helpful in guiding you to the proper product for your skin. It’s evident she truly cares about the mission of her business.
One thing I LOVE about this place is that they have these adorable little change purses made out of recycled material. They made a rad gift (and one to yourself). They are a steal, actually! Everyone I know will eventually have one. No doubt.
Oh yeah: and there’s an awesome DOG in the shop! That’s enough to make Green in BKLYN rule.

They have soda stream refills here and the owner and her dog are both lovely.

Great local shop with some REALLY fun and interesting gifts and items for the home.
The staff is also ALWAYS friendly and helpful. It is nice to walk in on any given day and be greeted like you have been shopping there for years and years.
Another great addition to the neighborhood.

Great selection of eco-​friendly merchandise. I buy my soaps and soy wax candles hear all the time. The ownership couldn’t be more bubbly and helpful.
Great books and interesting products that are on the cutting edge of eco-​reverent technology.

What do tourists do when they come to NYC? Shop, eat and go to shows, right?
F the shows. I rather spend those two hours eating and shopping the city (and the boroughs). Some of that shopping time was spend here, at Green in BKLYN. I first heard about this store from my cousin, who lives down the street. I just knew I had to stop by.
We were greeted by the owner, who kindly let us bring in my cousin’s dog. I must admit the dog may have gotten more attention from the super-​sweet owner than we did as customers. But that’s cool, the dog is so ugly that she’s gorgeous (and needs that attention) and anyone that likes dogs is cool in my book.
The store carries all kinds of eco-​friendly, green and recycled products, along with some very ‘interesting’ art pieces. (Dog art, anyone?) There was definitely some cool items that I considered buying but, sadly, I only went home with a greeting card. I especially loved the re-​purposed drinking glasses and other eco-​friendly kitchenware. The kitchen items were totally cool but they’re totally lost on me, as my cooking skills are limited. Honestly, this was another store where I could have totally walked away with shopping bags full of gifty items. Yet I was limited by that damn suitcase… if it was larger I probably have gotten a bit spendy in here.

I’m so glad this place exists, even though the prices are quite high. The owner is very cool and helpful and clearly wants to contribute something unique to the neighborhood.
I bought a SodaStream there and am very happy with it so far (warning: it doesn’t carbonate as much as pre-​bottled, but it’s cheaper and more eco) and she replaces cartridges. It’s awesome to have that option in the neighborhood.

Whenever I need gifts for an occasion I stop in here before I stop in anywhere else. Sure it’s convenient as I live across the street, my windows look out at it, but it’s also great for finding something special.
Every card I’ve sent in the last 6 months has been from here. I did all of my holiday shopping here in one swoop. The owner is super friendly and helpful, and the gift-​wrapping adds a nice touch to the gifts. I’m happy this place is in the neighborhood –it adds a little variety to Myrtle ave.
I’m excited to see when new things come in in the future.

I was excited to discover the brand new Green in BKLYN store in my neighborhood. Just opened on Earth Day (of course), they specialize in eco-​friendly housewares, cleaning supplies (including my favorite Mrs Meyer’s Clean Day), gifts, baby items, doggy items and even some cosmetics. I like when a shop specializes, and if people keep on the «green» bandwagon, I expect Green in BKLYN to do well. Especially since there is no Whole Foods Body or similar nearby. Go green!
