Love dean so helpful and generous, been there many times don't understand what other submissions are saying about him being rude. He is very passionate about his collection and his work nothing to be looked down on. Amazingly beautiful selection of merchandise and reasonably priced considering how hard he has worked to acquire his collection read more

Beautiful items that you can add to your own collection or give as a gift. The displays are intriguing and there is so much to look at. Make plans on taking your time to explore the store. Just know there are some very tight spaces inside so be careful with your purse. read more

Randomly stopped on a Sunday. A lot of love and committment in that store. I like the fair trade practice and incredible curated collection of art read more

I stopped today again at Globetrotter in its relatively new location, between the Northbound and Southbound sides of Route 35, just south of TD Bank and Dunkin' Donuts. I was even more impressed than the last time I was there. The space is huge, and is filled with ceramics, textiles, jewelry, and other beautiful objects. Since my last visit, the owner has converted additional space (that must have just held inventory when I was last there) to more retail space. There's even an upstairs now, with more wonderful merchandise in it. This place is DEFINITELY worth a stop! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original review from 2016 follows: I found the owner at Globetrotter quite friendly, as compared to the review posted by Jess H. I've always driven past and marveled at the huge assortment of glazed ceramics outside the shop. The blue-glazed planters are so bright and beautiful, I want to take them all home! So I stopped in, and the owner was friendly, and offered to help with anything I was interested in. He did go back inside (where there's more merchandise to see), but I don't blame him--it was hot outside in the sun! When I went inside to see what was there, he told me that he contracts for all of the pottery, from a number of different countries, but most of it is made in Viet Nam. The glazes are really beautiful, and the variety of shapes and sizes is amazing. The owner did mention that Hurricane Sandy wiped him out. He plans to move to a larger space a little further north, where the Shore Antiques Center used to be (at the crossover between the Northbound and Southbound sides of Route 35, just south of the new TD Bank and the Dunkin' Donuts). If you're looking for ceramic planters large or small, garden sculptures and ornaments, and Jersey-shore-related souvenirs (i.e. ceramics with the names of Jersey shore towns; small glazed ceramic shells, turtles, lizards, fish; wooden signs) Globetrotter is a good source. read more

I was blown away by the physical space and all the EXQUISITE pieces within. My visit was "an amazing experience," and I look forward to bringing my family and friends to share the wonder. read more

What a hidden treasure!!!!! My sister and I went searching for garden pottery and were pleasantly surprised by the huge, eclectic selection of items found from over 100 countries. My decorating style is bohemian/Moorish with lots of vibrant color fabrics and wood furniture. The owner was so helpful and generous with the stories behind every handpicked item in the store. Don't think you can just run in and shop, its an adventure and you won't want to leave. Well worth the visit. read more

I'm giving Globetrotter a 5 star because the pots are really beautiful. But it's hard to understand why nothing has price tags. I've never been to a store without price tags. Be warned that the pots are very expensive the pot in my pic is over $500 with tax and there is no flexibility in the price. The pots are definitely not the same quality as Home Depot but I couldn't justify the price myself for something that can be easily be stolen or broken. read more

I was amazed by our experience, and this is not a joke nor a fluff piece. Globetrotter is not just a store but an intentional work of art. The owner Dean has traveled to over 100 countries and collected each item himself. You'll see fair trade, all natural items in a beautiful, artistic display. Dean, a super nice guy, was so kind to my three children and me. He explained that the store is designed as an artistic experience as much as a retail offering, and man was he right. The items are displayed immaculately, by region and color and the feeling they induce. This sounds nuts as I've never been to or read about a store like this, but it's true. People actually have given offerings at certain spots, literally leaving cash (!) at sections of the store that induce a meditative feeling. Have you ever been to a store that lets you walk around and you actually see cash donations just sitting there? It's a sign of the trust he and his customers have for each other. You should go just to experience this store. You will not forget it. Frankly I'm shocked the past reviews don't talk about this. read more

What a unique store! The pottery and articles from all over the globe are so carefully selected. It is well worth the trip. Be prepared to spend some as there is so much to see and choose from. The new location at 300 Richmond Ave in Point Pleasant has some much more than the old location. They are very COVID conscious for your protection. read more

For a long time I have passed by this wonderful outcropping of gorgeous ceramics at a turnaround on Rt. 35 in Point Pleasant, NJ. On the hunt for a ceramic bowl for my orchid, I knew I had to try this place. What I was not prepared for was the amazing store hidden in plain sight! It is a treasure trove of amazing imports. If you have ever dreamed of foraging through a bazaar in some exotic pan-Asian county, you don't have to go that far, Lol! And although there were strict Covid restrictions, the owner was welcoming, extremely helpful, and did not limit my browsing. I will be back for sure when I have more time, maybe even count it as a travel experience in these covid days. read more

Owner yelled at me for touching the merchandise & then hit on my husband Merchandise is good but overpriced.

My friends have said that the stock doesn't really change anymore, but I'm going to assume that's due to the hardships Sandy brought this area. I think that the guy should be more friendly and accessible to people that do choose to drop in. I was going to ask him how much a few things were priced, but he disappeared back inside after briefly talking to my friend. He said something about opening another store in another location. Best of luck to you, and I hope sales increase! read more

Wanted to purchase a pot from this business because I like to support local business but as one of the workers was very nicely helping us, the manager walked up to us and was incredibly rude. I will support other NICER local businesses. read more

Went to this shop looking for ceramic flower pots. I found two I liked but when the man working told me the price I said I wasn't interested in spending that much. He literally chased me to my car trying to tell me about the quality of the pots. When I said it didn't matter because I just didn't want to spend $300 for two relatively small pots he told me I was the rudest customer he's ever had. He can sell over priced pots if he wants but I have the right to buy elsewhere. And chasing me to my car after I had already told him I wasn't interested is unacceptable. Save your money and buy somewhere that doesn't overcharge and where you won't be disrespected. read more

This place is way overpriced. Was shopping around for something and spoke with the guy that was working and he could not have been more arrogant or rude. I said the wrong term for a product and he was quick to snidely correct me. There are many other stores with comparable, or better products for less. One item was $49 in one store in lava, and $149 there. read more

Wonderful local shop with ceramics, textiles, and gifts designed and imported by the owner alongside work by select artists. These aren't things you can find anywhere else. There are tons of beautiful items tucked around the exterior of the shop. Definitely worth a trip when you're decorating the inside or outside of your home. read more

I don't think he realizes it but Dean has saved Christmas for my family at least three times . Luckily my kids love nature and culture and appreciate the nondenominational eclectic free for all his store has to offer. I have gone there every pay day before Christmas for the last few years and have found something that's timeless and eff-ing cool for cats every time.I'm leaving right now to buy some awesome stone seals I saw there the other day. hope he's still open!

Will NEVER return. The owner was extremely rude and promptly ignored us when we asked for prices since there was no price stickers on anything. It's a shame since the shop looks cute from the outside. read more

The owner was disgustingly rude to us. We will never give him one penny of our money and will tell everyone we know never to go there. We picked out two very small, adorable stone figures that we were going to buy, and were yelled at for moving them. He scolded us and told us they have a very strict policy of never moving anything. We saw no signs stating this policy. After being treated so poorly, we left without buying anything. I am glad his business does so well that he does not care if he loses customers. Good for him! Why can't I leave zero stars? read more

Years ago this store carried some interesting Asian pots and garden ornaments -- then the tone of the place shifted from exotic to touristy (lots of brightly colord pots carrying the names of local towns). Still, because I had bought a few interesting items in the past, I stopped in on two occasions recently to see what I might find. I'm afraid, based on both visits, I will not return. The owner was incredibly rude -- yelling at me not to touch anything, then giving me a longwinded, arrogantly delivered speech on the history of the item I had oh so gingerly picked up. None of the items are priced, and the price quoted on one item I had inquired about varied considerably on my two visits. Fortunately, I wasn't tempted by much of what he had, but if I were, I would find it difficult to purchase anything from this store. There are so many places today that carry interesting Asian imports -- there is no need to put up with such attitude and questionable selling practices . One reviewer attributed the downturn of the store to the damage the place suffered from Superstorm Sandy. It's hard for me to buy that -- I lost my home to the storm, and when I mentioned this on my first visit back after three years, the owner said, "Yeah, well I lost a lot of merchandise." read more
