Scoop NYC

Scoop’s selection is amazing to shop.
Scoop’s HR department needs to teach staff to be nice to everyone. I’m a NYC girl, fashion type so they treat me well when I walk in. But I’ve gone in with a family member or friend who doesn’t look so fancy and have seen them ignore and even glare at them.
Also have seen other older women get treated poorly. Come on, guys… you never know who has a Black Amex … tell the upper east side sales girls to treat everyone the same even if it kills them.

Type of store you only find yourself in when you live in in NYC, you kind of get used to stores like Scoop. Think its great for trendy ideas but recently made my first purchase there. Picked up some basic men’s t-​shirts for $ 40 each, and a vest for $ 300. Scoop is good if you have money and if you like to shop. Otherwise, save yourself the trip and call ahead to inquire about their sales.

i love this place!!! love love love
not only that i’m a shopoholic but the girls over their gave me such a good service (eventhough i think i drive them crazy… lol)
thank you for your pacient

Scoop Get Over Yourself!
I have been in your store many times and have never purchased a single item. You know why? Your staff is so SNOTTY! In fact I go in your store to see what you have and if I like any of it, I will go out of my way and purchase it at either Bloomingdales or Saks, where they know the definition of customer service.
Every time I have come into your store, I am either completely ignored (not even a hello) or I get glared at because I have a stroller. Trust me, I can more than afford your clothing. If your staff actually paid attention to details they would see that I am a fairly «typical» resident of the UES.

Scoop seems to provide the same shopping experience at all of its boutiques, but it leaves a lot to be desired and I frankly wonder why so many people love to shop there. I used to come to this Scoop location every now and then, but after repeated bad experiences of customer service just gave up.
Scoop is laid out like a large boutique, and this location retains most of the boutique feel. The main entrance room is the largest, and smaller areas extend from it, so it’s a little more of an adventure than their Soho location. They need to rethink their interior design because I’m sick of the all-​white theme they’ve had forever. It’s not chic, it’s boring and without personality. Sort of like their employees. Very few seem happy/​content or are friendly, and they seem to stand around quite a bit looking bored and disinterested in being there. Needless to say, I hesitate before ever approaching them.

Unilocalers complain/​suggest that Unilocal should include half star options.
Shopping at scoop makes me want to suggest a 0 star option. You know, like a big fat zero, nada. huge nothingness. Yes, the experience was that bad. When I was younger, I used to have spelling and vocabulary tests in school — and when I didn’t study, i was punished with a low score, sometimes a big fat zero when i just failed to even glance at my revisions. Well, same goes for customer service — how is a store deserving of even a single star when absolutely no service was provided?
I walked in, saw a pair of cute flats, had to chase down a sales associate, standing around, looking bored and like she was too good for the place, proceed to sit down and wait a good 15 minutes, all the while watching the sales associate standing around, looking bored and like she was too good for the place only to have her tell me in a bitchy voice filled with attitude «OH, WERE YOU WAITING FOR THE SHOES? YEAH, NO, WE DONT HAVE YOUR SIZE»
No, dumbass, i just wanted to sit on your couch and check you out for 15 minutes.
She was no help, and moreover, didn’t even offer a smile or apology for making me wait.

OK so some items are super cute but finding them can drive anyone to drink. the racks are way too over crowded making the clothes look oh so unappetizing. While searching through everything might be worth it in some boutique stores its not worth it here at scoop because they don’t have such a unique collection compared to intermix or barneys or bergdorfs. i will say its good because its convenient. defiantly try the place out who knows you might get lucky but it is a hit or miss kinda place

I got some expensive clothes for dirt cheap on sale. I dunno why nobody else likes it here but I did! You just have to wait until they have a sale. ;)

I may be the first to say this but…
I’m not impressed by this store. design wise, selection wise, price wise everything was like, I’ve seen better.
I guess if you’re into brands you’ve never seen before then yeah it’s okay. It seems they lean more towards a european fashion sense more than anything else.
And bring you master or visa. Because their sales are about 30% off which is barely anything.

Maybe a 3.5…
I have a younger teenage sister, which attributed (well, okay. Was the singular reason I’ve been here) to my Scoop NYC visits. She herself thought the selection at this location wasn’t quite that great… Or better than her beloved Las Vegas Scoop.
I wasn’t that thrilled either, as I am a fan of larger department stores, such as the B’s: Bergdorf, Barney’s, Bendel. But since I do prefer the convenience of department stores over running into 30 different boutiques, I do like the compact convenience, almost reminded me of an Intermix. They carry a few brands that are difficult to find otherwise (free city) and a pretty good and vast denim selection, I thought. This location isn’t quite as buzzing with window shoppers as the soho location. The service is a hit or miss, some of the SA’s are attentive and friendly, others are ditzy airheads, but it is in general a great one-​stop spot. I would have given it more stars, but I am very biased to my beloved Bergdorf’s and Saks, etc. And also, my sister seemed unimpressed, but nevertheless left pretty satisfied by her choices, so it’s not that bad at all and I really don’t think it deserved the crucifying comments made by the previous reviews, but that may just me be.

I’m not sure what the big deal is about Scoop. Every time I come in here I just am not impressed with the stock. The people are always as friendly as can be, but the style just isn’t me and I really don’t know what all the hoop-​la is. I do suppose if you are a hipster, which I am def. not, this place would be Mecca if your checkbook would allow you. So I suppose that it just depends on who you are — much like everything else in life…
They get three stars for being very nice and for the fact that if Hipster is you, I imagine you will love it.

Although it’s been a little while since I went here, I still remember what a positive shopping experience it was. There are a lot of expensive items, but I think a sign that it is a great boutique is that it mixes lower-​priced items among those. There really is something for everyone, from basics to trend-​setting pieces. With that said, come expecting to spend a lot of money as there is so much to choose from. The times I’ve been, the staff was so friendly and accomodating — I never felt out of place once. Great overall and I will definitely be back next time I’m in NY. There may be a ton of competition there but this is definitely one stop shopping for me.

It’s just ok. Very expensive clothing that you will probably say to yourself, «what was I thinking??» in about 16 months from date of purchase. I’m just not hip and trendy enough for this store. Some of it is very cute — dresses and jackets, but I’d rather pay that much money for something I’ll wear for years (I can be practical!!).
Sales staff are very nice and the store is well merchandised. The bags are also very stylish and fashionable, but not my taste really.
Awesome little back section of Jimmy Choo shoes and bags. Several cute Marc Jacobs items too!

OK — So it’s been a while and now I need to revise my review.
Maybe it’s cause it’s ’round the corner from the new digs or maybe ’cause they actually hired a designer to do their inventory, but lately they have had some hot stuff.
Brown John Varvatos biker boots that retail for $ 600 marked to $ 250
Navy Etro ¾ length buton trench that retails for $ 1400 marked to $ 375
and lots of jeans on sale marked all over the place. I know, it’s not always like this and it’s especially not the hippest place, but if your in the nabe and need some threads stop by.

Living in NYC, you kind of get used to stores like Scoop East Inc.: über-​trendy, über-​hot, and über-​expensive. But if you keep walking into stores like Scoop, you just might want to smash your head against the wall. Your faith in shopping and worse, in fashion, begins to grow thinner and thinner, till you’ve resolved to do all your shopping online. Scoop is good if you have money and if you like to shop. Otherwise, save yourself the trip and subsequent headache.

oh so trendy! and oh so over priced. I venture into this too pretty to touch store once in a while, and always leave empty handed.

Great selection of the latest designers. Good place for jeans. The salespeople are friendly and helpful.
