Joyworks was a cool surprise, the store was bigger than we were expecting and the inventory was great! Upstairs and down there were so many things to see and browse. We found a few little souvenirs. Well worth the visit! Great service, great selection! read more

I always find a few new things to wear. Lots of new styles! Funand a good mix of affordable!

This is such a cute store! I walked in here without really aiming to, and glad I did. They have masks at the entry, as well as hand sanitizer, so I felt very safe browsing around! The staff were welcoming, yet allowed me to browse without disturbing me. They have a great variety of items, so something for everyone, and at very reasonable prices! Love the relaxed vibe too, would be happy to shop here in the future whenever I was looking for some nice soaps, or clothes, or anything for the home! Plenty of street parking around too, and right in downtown Snohomish. read more

Love love love everything in this store! Lovely staff, so much to look at, reasonable prices, so much to buy! Highly recommend this lovely store in precious downtown Snohomish read more

Was so excited to come in to this store after 2 years of missing out. I don't know who is doing the purchasing of the clothing but wow it's gone downhill! Used to be so stylish and chic - kind of like a Hoity Toity vibe. Sad! read more

LOVE Joyworks. I've been coming here since I was a little girl with my mom. We would always get a bag of the gummy cherries before we left. This store has always stayed true to its style, and I love all of the vintage style items. Christmas time is really when Joyworks shines. I love it. read more

I called asking about items for a toddler. What was most off putting was the way the employee answered the phone. Just a short, "Joyworks." I did not feel like my call was welcome. How about, 'Thank you so much for calling Joyworks! What may I help you find today?" read more

Don't get your hopes up, you'll fall in love with something and then be told it's "Not for Sale". Been here three times and two of those times were laughed at by the front desk women that we couldn't buy it. They also have no "Display Only" signs. Very disappointing and annoying. read more

This is simply one of the best stores for home decor, gifts and they even have clothing. Very cute stuff and displays. I included photos to prove my point on a recent visit. See for yourself! :) It felt like the Easter Bunny himself visited the store and left behind some magic! read more

Joyworks is really a fun store to shop in - they just have lots of things you can take ideas from. The downstairs is my favorite area! They have their own blog too - http://joyworks-shopgirl.blogspot.com/ I'm dinging them one star because I'm cheap and sometimes I think their pricing is a touch on the high side. read more

You girls are GREAT!!!!! I was window shopping after hours last Sunday with my boyfriend and friends. We ran across your store and I fell in LOVE with a tank dress in the window, the one with the layered skirt.... I called on Thursday to have you hold one for me until the weekend. My boyfriend who is not a shopper by the way, unless it's Lowes or home Depot, found out I put it on hold and came in to purchase it as part of my birthday gift.. You guys made him feel comfortable said you were friendly and very helpful, Thank You for making his experience a good one, I can't wait to visit your store myself Angi read more

I have had great experiences at the shop. Most of my fun wardrobe is from Joyworks! I have always loved Snohomish the only problem I've ever had is the parking read more

You haven't visited Snohomish until you go to Joyworks. This darling boutique has beautiful clothes, shoes, and is filled with adorable home decor. Do not miss this!!!!!! read more

Joyworks is one of my favorite stores in Snohomish. As a long term resident if someone asked "where do I find some really cute stores in town?" , I send them there. Great HOME finds, Funky jewelry, Baby gifts, and super cute clothes. They basically have a little of everything, and all of it is is fun and cute. read more

I love the products at Joyworks and hate the experience. It's the type of store you can explore and get lost in, with unique items and great displays. The clothing section, is updated often and while it skews older, is often very stylish. The prices are on the high side though, and the service is non-existent. Often several people will be behind the counter and talk to each other while checking you out. As a younger shopper I've found the staff dismissive and condescending, even when making large purchases. read more

The review by Leah H. is spot on... I live in Snohomish and actually own another non-competing business in Snohomish... I absolutely adore the items this store carries and even buy items here to use as display in my own shop. My problem is the absolute and total disregard for customer service I've repeatedly experienced. The first time - I went in the day after Christmas to buy an ornament for my family's get together and ornament exchange. I picked up a gorgeous glass ice skate, the last one they had. AFTER I PAID FOR IT, the sales person (while talking to the other women behind the counter) broke the ornament while wrapping it. Accidents happen, and even though I was really bummed that I couldn't take that ornament to the exchange, I found a different one to take in its place. After finishing the transaction, I asked if I could take the broken, useless ornament THEY HAD BROKEN, to show my family what I had originally chosen - since I'd chosen it to commemorate my deceased grandfather, who'd been an ice skater. The woman who'd broken it explained the situation to a much older woman behind the counter... EXPLAINED THAT SHE HAD BROKEN IT... and the older woman told her I'd have to pay for it if I wanted to take it. Are you kidding me? The woman who originally broke the piece did give it to me to take, but I left with a bad taste in my mouth due to the attitude of what I perceived to be the owner. Second time - I went in the shop in mid-February to find a display piece for my shop, and picked up a neat bent wire rack priced at $13.99. It's extremely similar to another rack I'd picked up in the shop last summer for thhearmeroar.nete same price, so I thought nothing of it. While checking out, the woman behind the counter (when she stopped talking to the other employees long enough to acknowledge me) told me FOUR TIMES that she was sure the price was too good, and that it must have been mismarked. This wasn't a what-a-screaming-deal you got congratulations, this was a surely-you-switched-the-tags accusation. I know that everyone can have off days, and I certainly plan to shop at Joyworks again for now... but I do hope they can take notice of the fact that just having a fantastic store with wonderful displays and products isn't enough to insure great ratings. The customer's experience is more important than ever these days, and I think Joyworks has a little work to do in that arena. read more

Why? Why do I keep going in here and giving them my money for overpriced stuff when they are obviously irritated that I'm buying it? I mean, just today, I purchased 3 drawer pulls, 1 necklace, 4 shirts and because I was feeling yucky, a bag of caramels for a total of over $200!! I have purchased many things here over the past 12 years and each time I walk in the door no one says, "hello!", "how are you?" or even, "what the he** do you want?" They have an abundance of overpriced stuff I generally enjoy looking thru and carry clothing brands which are clearly not top of the line, but I'm stupidly willing to pay more than I should for them and yet the cranky middle aged employees still get irritated when I whip out my Visa! (Hey, I'm middle aged too, so I can say this!) But, in their defense, I have found that 90% of the shop employees in Snohomish are this way even though when people shop, they are making a day of it for fun. Not like having to buy plumbing fixtures or slugbait!! Is it because they know that selling a piece of wood for $29.99 with the word "Coffee" or "Laugh" is ridiculous? Or that selling a "vintage dresser" for $400 which was probably found on Offer Up for $10 and then covered in chalk paint? Drive around downtown Everett and you can pick up similar by the side of the road and have a great DIY day! So, I give them two stars. One for being able to stay in business with this service and one for idiots like me who keep shopping there even though we are unwanted. (P.S. Check out items on Snohomish County Vintage, Antique, Shabby: Buy and Sell, you will find some great items for fabulous prices and from what I've heard, shop in Arlington. It's the new Snohomish!!) read more

Visited the store and purchase some unique finds. The store is huge (by downtown Snohomish standards) and you can easily get lost while browsing through their displays. Items range from signs to clothing to jewelry to food to antiques to knick knacks. There are two floors and a number of rooms (very "choppy" layout) with different themes (mostly by color). There was a line at the counter since there was only one cashier on a busy Sunday. It was hard to tell where the line started and ended because there were displays everywhere including the floor! Overall, one of the better stores downtown, but could certainly use more staff on busy days. read more

When I'm looking for something different I go here, I love to go here and browse their clothes. They have some really cool unique pieces. Some of their stuff is a bit pricey. They also have really fun house stuff, there is a lot of stuff to look at! Be prepared to spend some time in this store! You'll need time to browse. read more

I grew up in Snohomish and started going to Joyworks when I was old enough to drive myself there. I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews about the women that work there... Everyone that works there is very nice; some are more quiet than others, but everyone is helpful and very sweet. I have since moved out of the town of Snohomish, but I still go here to look for décor and clothes for myself and for gifts. Their clothing options have increased over the years and they are much trendier than they used to be. They even carry some of the same brands as Nordstrom, but also carry unique brands you've never heard of, so it's one of my favorite boutiques to go to when I don't want to drive all the way to the mall. I still have items I purchased years ago that I get compliments on and are still in great shape. The ladies are so helpful they even tell you when they should be receiving more of something you like and they show you other options they have ordered that you may be interested in as well. Their return policy is also a plus. read more

I live in Snohomish and would have loved to further shop here but the staff is so very unfriendly that I decided to never buy here again. After I asked them to gift wrap an item they packaged it in the ugliest possible way and were very unfriendly about it after I mentioned it and asked for a somewhat nicer packaging. Sorry Joyworks but the plastic bag and an half heartedly placed ribbon are ugly and didn't bring joy at all!!! read more

I never know what to get my wife.... until now! The joyworks what can I say I walk in and tell them the size and they wrap and give it to me ready to go. It is seriously one of the best things in the world no longer do I have to guess. By the way she has liked everything so far. Thanks joywork ladies...... Hope my wife does not read this..... read more

I was just there today & it was fab! :] There is something for everyone! The prices are a bit high for the clothes but well priced for the home decor. They also had a great children's section. Don't forget to look downstairs where you'll find a lot more stuff! We had great customer service and we will back again! read more

Joy works is one of my favorite stores. I love everything about the items they carry. I will agree that some items are over priced, but isn't everything over priced these days. I would buy much more if they offered better prices. I love that I can always find unique Christmas gifts, unique boutique clothing, and infinity scarves or jewelry. I LOVE this place! Lastly, I adore these women run the store, I've always had friendly service. read more

I always find fun and stylish clothes here. Reasonable prices and great help from the staff putting outfits together, they know their stuff :) Also trendy home décor, great selection of fun "kitchy" signs. read more

Joyworks is always my first stop in Snohomish. I have been shopping there for years. Unique fashion styles at realistic prices. Friendly and helpful people running the store. You feel like family. read more

I love this place. I have been coming here since the 80's. There is always a great selection of clothing, decor and gift ideas. I don't understand the people who say the girls are not friendly, maybe it's more a reflection of themselves? I find the girls nice, and super creative. I always look forward to shopping here. Even on the rare occasions when I don't make a purchase, I enjoy browsing and getting ideas. Sometimes it's just what I need to motivate my creative side. read more

I like the clothes, but the staff is incredibly rude! I cant believe the way they answers the phone and talk to people. Especially since I live far away and make a lot of big purchases there. They lost my business now. read more

My favorite store in Snohomish. I always find something that I "just have to have" when I visit the store. Unique yet trendy items. Joyworks is my guilty pleasure. read more

I love this store! It's what makes shopping in Snohomish such a special treat. The store is beautifully merchandised and selection is vast - a perfect place to pick up something for yourself or a unique gift. The owner has a great eye for women's fashion and accessories - not the same selection you see in the department stores. read more

My favorite store in downtown Snohomish! They have a unique selection of clothing and just about anything you would ever need for home decor. You could definitely spend hours in there just looking at all their nicknack's. Just like most gift shops their prices range from moderate to pricey. The only downfall is that parking on weekends can be a pain - but that's not their fault :) read more

This is such a cute little store. Lots of home decor and very cute clothes. The prices are boutique pricing but you can find great deal. Their hand bags are super cute and great prices. Over all just a fun place to pop into every now and then. read more

I love this store because EVERY time I shop there, I find the merchandise to be fresh and exciting and relevant! In other words, it's dangerous!!! HA! Lately, I've been in love with their clothing section. Such unique and wonderful items, the prices are great, and the selection is significant given the size of the store. Please keep up the good work. I love shopping in Snohomish and will continue to do so as long as stores like Joyworks are out there! read more

Joyworks is a destination store for us. I love the happy mix of antiques, clothing, and decor. Prices can be a little high for some items, but the overall care taken to create an attractively merchandised store is worth the drive. Nice purses and scarves as well as themed decor sections offering a nice variety of goods.Always a fun experience! read more

I've shopped & purchased from Joy Works since the 70s. At that time it had a large table & the proprietor made wreaths & floral arrangements from dried flowers & foliage. It has evolved into quite a wonderful, unique place to purchase lots of different home decor, clothing, jewelry, cards, wrap, candles, baby items and many gift items. It is a fun place to shop! read more

An example of a company with fabulous customer care and high end quality for reasonable prices. I live on the east coast so my experience is with the online shopping site. I found an adorable crochet hem tank extender and decided to purchase. Long story short the postal system delivered to wrong address or somehow lost item in shipping process. Amy ( who responded to my request for location) was a great help from the start. She went over & beyond to amend the situation which was no fault of her own or joyworks. When I quickly received a replacement tank with a handwritten note & adorable crochet trim socks as a surprise "sorry for delay" gift- I was floored. All this care for a customer who ordered one item! The extender is great quality. Many of my own boutique customers have already inquired about. Definitely take the time to order online or visit their store in WA. A must shop destination! read more
