I did not know about this shop until very recently (I only went to Maplewood for the first time a few months ago). Before talking about the shop itself, I will say that during my recent visit the staff was very nice (this included two young women and one older one - possibly the owner?). I overheard them having several conversations with customers and they all seemed very familiar and friendly. Of course, this is just my experience, so take that as you will. No. 165 (so named for the building number) is an absolutely adorable, comfortable and whimsical shop in Maplewood. They sell all sorts of items ranging from novelty items, candy, clothes, stationary, dish towels, purses, soaps and more. Everything in the shop is either meant to be charming, beautiful or tongue-in-cheek and I love that combination. Interestingly, I saw a note on the counter that indicated at some point last year this shop was going to close, but a strong reaction from the neighborhood helped the owner to change their mind and keep the shop open. What that meant on a practical level is that during my visit a lot of the shelves were definitely more bare than I think they would normally be. This decision is recent, so I am hoping that means in the next couple months the store will restock and have more to offer than it already has. If you're in the area, definitely make it a point to visit No. 165!

I have picked up quite a few things in here and all at reasonable prices. Display pieces styled nicely and while not for everyone- definitely on my standard rotation. Downstairs are items for the home, old and recent. If you read a review that says the proprietor isn't friendly and that is a concern to you - don't go. She's not there to make friends, she's managing a business and probably has enough friends! Vintage, classic pieces and totally worth checking out. I'm a fan.

I wish I could give this place a ZERO rating, but this will have to do. I was just in this shop…read morethis afternoon, after running errands in a lovely Brooklyn neighborhood with generally great service. I decided to walk in this place because it's new, to me at least, and something sparkly in the window caught my eye. BIG mistake. Although I was the only customer in the store, the two shopgirls (yes, I deliberately use "girls" because no sensible adult would act so unprofessionally) not only refused to say "hi" or welcome me, as I walked past them and smiled, they simply glared at me with utmost disdain. Don't know whether that's because, being a Saturday, I was dressed casually, or whether it's because I am a woman of color, not a size zero, or *gasp* in my 40s. Whatever the reason for their horrible attitude, it's unacceptable for any business. Their loss, though. I've spent a lot of my money over the year at nearby boutiques, one particularly because of their lovely salespeople. If this place keeps up with the unwelcoming attitude, I can't imagine it being successful, especially considering that the quality of the merchandise is relatively subpar and unremarkable.

In an hour, I walked out with awesome shirts (and at a reasonable price for custom designs). My wife and I wore ours to the hospital.

When I wanted to return ....boy I got a mouthful from the owner. Nasty, condensing, humiliating and even at times yelling I barely could get a word in.
