Michaels will always get my praises. Why is this location rated low? I sure can't get there these days it's been years. We do most of our shopping now online. The rewards program really helps when you get emails with coupons. I love the containers for supplies. I have a colorful pill bottle. I also have a second rainbow pill bottle I use for earrings. My other favorite is a tool type or fishing tackle box. I haven't found the right things but I have used it for medication bottles and small light bulbs. It's got a secure closing and carrying handle for on the go. I'm recommending Michael's at any location or online. I always spend money! read more

Grew G helped me there with framing 2 pieces af art. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

I'm a big fan of Michaels, specifically for their yarn selection (I'm a crocheter and knitter). I will say that I typically order online and pick up in-store. Picking up is definitely the way to go. The two times I've gone to a cashier, the line moves at a snail's pace, and the service is meh. Anyway, they always have sales, and sometimes, it's best to buy online and pick up because a lot of their coupons are for online purchases only. If you're into arts and crafts, decorating, etc., I'm sure you'll find it at Michaels. read more

A Special "THANK YOU" TO MS. E. Mudine And MS. Lashay At The Atlantic Street Location. Both Went Above And Beyond Not Only Being Professional (on the phone as well as in-person) But Just Showing Good Ol Kindness. I Bought The Wrong Size T-shirts Online. I Returned It At That Location. It's A Lil Process To Get Correct Item(s) When You Purchase Online. The Both Had No Problem Going Upstairs To Pick Up The Correct Brands (3) and Sizes. Lashay Was Willing. I Got There After She Left. E. Mudine To The Rescue. Again, Thank You Both. Great Customer Service!!! read more

I am not an arts and craft kind of a person. I don't draw or paint. Basically, you can say I lack the artistic gene, but Michael's is a fun shop that might sell something you need. I browsed around in the past at this large, bi-level store located right on Atlantic Avenue. Made some small purchases that were mainly picture frames. There is a huge variety of frames in all sizes on the second floor. Upon this visit, I was looking for a plastic container bin, the kind The Container Store would carry. I asked someone if available at this store and was instructed to go upstairs, but when I got there, there wasn't much to select from. I think they were more to store paint and other craft materials. No luck in finding anything and I was disappointed. The store carries baskets, jewelry, faux flowers and more but with the exception of picture frames, I am not a regular shopper here. It seems to work for others. Happy shopping! read more

Worth a review update! Michaels has changed up their checkout system, and outfitted the whole space with large screened checkout systems (better than your typical grocery story automated checkout). They were super easy to use, FAST, and no line buildup. That was my main gripe with Michaels. On top of it, I went (in person) on Cyber Monday and got crazy deals on some holiday goods. read more

I never have a plan for any of my arts and craft projects so I just wing it by getting a bunch of stuff from Michael's and hope for the best in my creative process! I always have extra supplies that I've collected from over the years just from stocking up on the amazing selections they have. The staff is super nice and helpful. They are still cheerful even when you have a return, perhaps because they know I'll always come back for more goodies anyway! As for prices, they always have coupons you can easily find online, have them sent to your email for discounts up to 50% off. I can't really complain about things being too expensive here and if it ever is, chances are there's a coupon to bring the price down a bit. The frame department is great, too and the guy working in custom framing was totally nice. Also great to pick up quick standard-sized frames to go. I got a good 2 for 1 frame deal that was easy to find as soon as you get to the top of the escalator. If you come here on a busy day, the line will be wrapped around the aisles in the back of the store. They have a bunch of registers but not always full on staff to make the lines go faster. I promise it's no fun after spending an hour deciding on which craft supplies to buy and then having to stand in line for what feels like another hour... especially when you have to go to the bathroom! NOT sexy. This last time I came back they were out of a lot of scrapbooking supplies, themed stickers and lettering on the first floor. I'd like to hope it's because so many people are all trying to manifest the lives of their dreams to use it for vision boards but I hope they hurry and get stock in soon again! Great place overall, especially when they have mostly full inventory and the lines aren't long! read more

Michaels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ran to Michael's to pick up a few things one of those things were a jewelry organizer for my dressing and bracelets I'm trying to redecorate my apartment so having this organizer for my jewelry makes total sense The selection was cute and the prices weren't bad at all I see a few more items I actually want so I'll be back soon read more

The only reason this place deserves any stars is bc of a manager named Chris who knows that when a store sells a product that is defective and does not work clearance policy or kot, you have to take it back. And, while I would love to give Chris and his store 5 stars for his commitment to customers, due to my horrible experience with another manager in the store that prompted me needing to talk to Chris, I simply cannot. I will not name his name as it's simply not worth it. While I am not going to go into the ridiculousness of this manager refusing to take back a clearance item that could have never worked as the items were missing parts (solar power lanterns), I just want to let him know that as a manager you have the right to make things right when products are defective. You simply chose to, which resulted in an awful customer experience. Also telling me to call customer service when you knew they wouldn't be able to help is both disrespectful, rude and a waste of time. Even your associates that were working the night my husband and I came in knew you were doing us a disservice and graciously tried to help. My advice to you: Get it together, be a better person and do a better job. Also, Chris confirmed that you do not product test your products on your roof, so also, please stop lying. read more

This Michaels is always a bit of a challenge. The staff & stock are hit-or-miss. Some employees are friendly, others with give you the death stare when asking for the location of an item. Most of them mean well, but with any request, they awkwardly move respond, seemingly unsure of the answer themselves. Stock-wise, you may come to get 4 things only to find half. But they do have a nice selection of items when they are there. I noticed some items are listed as in stock but are non existent in real life. I've tried to order from here to deliver same day to my house only to be disappointed by orders that were not processed until I called in a day and a half after the fact. The absolute worst thing about this place is the lines! It is always long and unbelievably slow. Recently, i had to confront a couple who refused to abide by the social distancing markers by creeping close behind me like pickpocking, day marauders. Ugh. The worst. On the upside, I found fantastic beads on sale. Go figure. Take a chance, you might get lucky. read more

I could give a big 0 I would. I ordered 3 items, and only 1 item arrived. I called the store to inquire about the 2 missing items. I was told they did not have the item in stock but they refund the $ for the items. OK, so how about giving me my shipping and handling & the tax you charged​. Another way of stealing your money on the sneak. read more

It has everything you need from washi tape to cards to crocheting supplies, but it is smaller than the one I visit in Queens on Northern Blvd. The staff is kind and helpful, but they seem short-staffed. I usually visit on a weekend or during the evening and there is usually a line to check out, but it's the closest Micheal's to me in Brooklyn. I will most likely continue to visit due to convenience. There is a bus stop a block away as well. They also always offer 20% to 40% off one item, which is valid both online and in-store, so it's nice to sign up for e-mail promotions. tl;dr - A typical Michael's, a little smaller to the one I visit in Queens, kind staff, a line to check out, no parking lot read more

I am asthmatic I know the rules I always wear a mask in the stores etc but today I was weezing and didn't I stated I will social distance I just want one thing and I will stay away from others I have a health condition that provides me with an exemption Security photo below did not allow me in I requested manager or supervisor The lady in other photo stepped in and did not state she was supervisor or manager but did state to security "let them do whatever they want I don't care I don't have time for this my brother has asthma and he wears his mask if the cashier refuses service oh well" Then had security the only one in the store guarding the door follow me around I suffer from anxiety ave this made me very emotional during these times one of my happy places became a embarrassing nightmare as well as I a customer was taken a photo of by the lady which is illegal they have security cameras for situations like this I took a photo because they refused to provide name she kept her name btag out of site and he had none This is your job you sign the contract when accepting I am the customer I even said I will put mask at register if I get closer than 6 ft because it's one moment and I'm not walking or moving, but I shouldn't have to be treated in such a manner now I hate that store read more

I like Michaels and wish they would open up another one in Brooklyn (it's either this one or the one all the way out in Gateway). This particular location has two floors and while they usually have everything I need in stock, I always recommend ordering ahead for pickup because the lines get very long, very quickly. This is probably because there are usually only 2-3 workers at the registers max. Despite this, the workers are always friendly and helpful. read more

If I can give 0 stars I would. Understaffed and terrible customer service took like 10mins just to get a bag I would never shop here again absolutely ridiculous. read more

Ordered for pick-up. Went to the store 3 hours after the order was supposed to be ready, and it was nowhere to be found. Staff was incredibly rude about it. During 15 minutes of no apology / explanation, three or four staff members argued and told each other repeatedly to "chill." Not exactly confidence-inspiring. Eventually the order materialized and was thrust at me wordlessly before the SA walked away in a huff, like I had personally ruined his day with my unreasonable insistence on being able to pick up my pick-up items, which I paid for. Just order from Amazon. read more

One of my favorite stores. Perfect store for teachers. Always be on the lookout for a coupon, whether it is from the store or sent by email.

Michaels Get this together! Every time I come here the line is extra long and there's only one or two cashiers. No matter what time of day the wait is longer than it takes me to find my items. You should have a self checkout out so we don't spend soo much time on line. It's been 20minutes n counting for 3 items. This is ridiculous! Taisha E. Allende read more

Pickup here is good but trying to buy at cashier/wait in line can be a hassle so not bad but could be improved. Store is clean and things are easy to find. Checkout is just the worst part. read more

This is the source of everything artsy in your life. Super amount of colors and basically an artist's cove. I really love this place. Maybe it's because there are so many different ideas you have just looking at the paper itself and the tools that you can implement in your classroom. Heart melts. read more

I'm a big Michael's fan... seriously I'm here wayy too much. Don't believe me? Check my bank account.... lol nah check my yelp check ins instead. I really like this Michael's because it's big enough where it has everything I'm looking for and more BUT, like all Michael's, the lines are always long. I usually dont care but since there is mostly metered parking nearby, I'm usually in a rush. I'm cheap when it comes to paying for the meter but never for my arts and crafts. I love how knowledgeable the staff Is and how helpful they continue to be. I'm glad that I can shop at a place where i know I can get the help I'm looking for. read more

I love it here! They're always stocked up with things I need.. Not sure if it's luck or what but I leave happy. They have knowledgeable associates.. I had a question about spray paint and the lady whom helped me gave me tips and tricks I didn't even expect.. The cashiers are also so welcoming and the experience all around just makes me want to come back and spend all my money read more

As a UPS Access Point, this Michaels is very disappointing for many reasons: 1. You end up standing on line with customers making purchases, which is unnecessary. 2. The Cashier points in a general direction when you get to the register and says, "over there." 3. There is no sign for a UPS Access Point. Nothing near the registers. Nothing on the door where the pickup is. Nothing anywhere to indicate there is a UPS Access Point in the store. 4. The person handling the packages has about as much personality as a wet rag. She comes out. She takes your name. She asks for ID. No hello. No, I'll be right back when she closes the door to the package area. Overall, if UPS didn't automatically just leave packages here without asking, I'd never go in. This store is nothing but understaffed, untrained and disinterested in the customers. read more

I don't know why my review for this place never sticks. I think I left a review for this location and then they changed the address on me. Anyway, here's my actual review: https://www.yelp.com/biz/michaels-new-york-10?hrid=bW0JCi0pjMV01MabUsflNQ I've been back quite a few times since then and the line situations have gotten worse. Takes forever to check out now, though the cashiers are super friendly. I basically only come here to buy cheap picture frames, of which they sell a TON. The selection upstairs is great, and they also sell t-shirt making supplies (or you can just buy some blank shirts for really cheap). read more

Suuuuucks. Long lines, poor selection (was looking for some artistic lighting accessories and some serious crafting tools but found mostly chincey plastic birthday decorations and a wide selection of overpriced frames) and virtually no staff on the floor to help. Go here... I guess...if you can't figure out how to buy a bag of glitter on Amazon? So glad they knocked down a classic Atlantic Ave stretch of family-run brick store fronts and cheap delicious ethnic eateries to put this tacky (outside AND in) suburban-strip-mall monstrosity in the middle of beautiful Boerum/Cobble Hill. read more

Michaels on Atlantic Ave is a dismal and depressing experience. Absolutely no personality for a store trying to encourage creativity. It's like you've been transported to some horrible suburban strip mall. And after you've finally found something that will get the job done (chances are it's cheap and made in China) be prepared to wait, wait, wait, wait and wait on line to check out. Poor management. read more

Their attitudes suck for the most part. Met one cashier who was nice but a lady who seems to be the supervisor always has an attitude anytime I come to the store which I could understand if I was being a karen but all I did was ask to pick my order up since it wasn't in the display area and she got nasty. This was the second time and they let people skip you even though you're waiting for the same thing. Also I placed an order pickup and it was cancelled and when I called to ask about it they said I had to go to the store myself to see if its in stock then hung up so I wasted a whole train ride just for it to not be in stock instead of the lady just saying over the phone that they're out of what im looking for read more

amazing service go see laurrie and mark and osama helped me frame prints free of charge. very friendly and helpful

What was intended for a 10-15 min trip to Michaels took over 40 minutes... Only one sales rep was behind the counter speaking on the phone very casually, and a line of about 15 people queued. There was ZERO sense of urgency at all. I understand they may be understaffed but there was no attempt made to speed up the line. When it was finally my turn, the cashier was no sense of urgency once again. If a line was that long in my store, I would do everything I could to get each transaction done as quickly as possible. It was extremely frustrating, and I didn't even get an apology or "thank you" for waiting to purchase 3 mini succulents. read more

I just finished Black Friday shopping at Michaels craft store in cobble hill Brooklyn, and i was assisted by the manager Lori, who had an attitude due to the overwhelming responsibility's of Black Friday. As a manager your should be able to make sure every customer leaves content and satisfied with there shopping experience, I absolutely don't recommend this micheals if your looking to redeem a comfortable, respectable shopping experience. read more

I have been trying for a month to correct an online order. One item arrived damaged, another never arrived (I was told when I spoke to someone that this item was out of stock). I spoke to 4 representatives, 2 on a live chat, 2 on the phone. I was lied to, given misinformation, and told by the 4th person that I have to return the damaged item ( which the 1st person told me to discard) in person in a store. I am a regular customer but they did not seem to care about my business. So the latest conversation with customer service ended with him telling me to return the item in store which I already discarded. Would not listen to reason, kept putting me on hold. Basically I was told that I am not getting a replacement for the damaged item and I am not getting a refund for the out of stock item. I'm going to shop at Jo-Ann's from now on. read more

The line is half way wrapped around the store. It is also hotter inside then out, no idea why there is no A/C on.

Placed an order online and picked up in store. Delivery was fast and the pickup was also fast. This is the first time in a Michaels and they seem to have all your stationary needs and more, however I noticed the prices are a bit high. They might have the variety but I'm sure if you look online, Walmart or amazon might have the same for less. I gave them a 4 star because shipping and pickup was fast and stress free plus the store clerks were very nice. read more

Pretty big and lots of variety's of beads and other arts and crafts things . For example they have stuff for cooking, sewing , and sort of toys for kids etc read more

hardly any cotton, very little brands, many synthetics instead. even with cotton they had , only one manufacture and hardly any color schemes, I will just order online There was no comprehensive selection of needles and hooks, they didn't even have 3mm, again will have to order on amazon The store was cluttered not organized, also none of the other crafts were appealing either , again plastics and synthetics I'll order online for selection and natural fibers instead read more

This place is a scam. I asked for black wood custom frames and received frames made of mdf - which is inferior quality. Their prices are also scammy. They charge for $600+ for custom frames of crappy material - way more expensive than local quality frames - but then offer lofty discounts between 50-70% off to make it seem like a deal, when in reality it is still overpriced garbage. Misleading customers is not cool. read more
