OMG OMG OMG. I love these kind of shops - one of a kind, unusual products that appeal to the heart and soul. I'm a sucker for unusual glassware, pottery, jewelry, books, candles etc. Sad that most of the clothes don't come in plus sizes. We gals like those clothes too. Staff were nice and not overly obtrusive. Parking is tight, as it shares the lot with Roots. read more

One of my favorite places to shop for organic and eco-friendly items. I love the reiki charged crystal candles which are duo purpose for lighting up a space making it cozy and a nice massage oil for my feet and hands. I have gotten yoga pants here discounted for 38 bucks and they are so worth it. The people that work here are helpful and friendly. Love Jenny. Also Tanya is cool too and the girl with long blonde hair, sorry sometimes I am good with names. read more

I came to the Nest for the first time today, and all I can say is this little shop is such a positive space and full of great energy. I came in just to look, but ended up leaving with a couple of crystals. I've always been interested in healing crystals, but I never knew where to start. The employee, whose name is Ali, was EXTREMELY helpful and kind. You can tell she is a genuinely caring person and she spent 30 minutes helping me find the right crystal. And I know that's hard to do because each person responds differently. But she was very patient and thoroughly explained everything and I definitely have a better understanding because of her so thank you so much, Ali! Highly recommend for everyone to stop by the Nest! read more

Currently the only place I buy my clothes, accessories, and gifts. A real gem with the friendliest staff and quality eco-friendly clothes and home goods. The prices are well worth it and a real investment in better living and consuming. read more

Amazing customer service & amazing products!! This store is a Yogi's dream!! Happened to walk in waiting on friends I was meeting at Great Sage next door. Sooo thankful I did!!! I left with incense, a new purse, several healing stones, and other random positively charged finds.. I'll be going back soon to get more stuff! read more

Wow I've been shopping here for 5 years now. I especially love the super cute and well curated selection of organic cotton clothing. I'm currently wearing a stretchy black pencil skirt I bought over the winter holiday. It's become a weekly favorite in my outfit rotation. I also love the eco-friendly and artful cards, jewelry, gifts and especially love to see so many vegan cookbooks on display at Nest. My husband has a really cool London tube map wallet made from paper that he gets tons of compliments on. read more

I'm a big fan of this eco-boutique because much of its merchandize fits my tastes very closely. The place is an aesthetic delight, full of color and texture. Great clothes for women (including versatile hemp-fabric skirts from Texture); beautiful housewares (including jewel-toned cast glass tumblers); a small but captivating book selection; fair-trade napkins and placemats from India and elsewhere; and high-quality earth-friendly lunch items such as insulated bags, reusable snack pouches and bamboo flatware. Four stars only because it IS a bit pricey and I don't recall seeing much clothing for men. Plus the location is really out of the way for the DC/Balto area. Clarksville is a funny little crossroads with chain stores and this island of independent, upmarket shops including Nest and its sister stores, Roots Market and Great Sage restaurant. If you enjoy environmental themes and a natural aesthetic, you'll enjoy the selection at Nest. (See also: Amano in Takoma Park). read more

"A socially responsible gift & clothing boutique, supporting independent artists, fair trade importing, organic farming & recycling. Nest provides the essentials for a beautiful, conscious home and lifestyle." That is their blurb from the website. If you are a environmentally friendly person that has gifts to purchase for friends and family, this is the place. They carry everything from organic cotton clothing for kids and adults to books on Yoga and veganness. They have hand made cups and places, bamboo cutting boards, bamboo utensils and serving ware. Good for the planet water bottles, music, jewelery, wind chimes, all kinds of stuff. We have been shopping there for all of our gifts for weddings, baby's, birthdays, etc...for the last year or two. read more

Gorgeous, beautiful, eco-friendly, handmade wonderful goods. From clothing and shoes to lovely gems, housewares, books, and more. This will definitely be my go-to spot for wedding and housewarming gifts from now on. Favorite things that I saw included the crackle-glass looking plates, recycled sari hair clips, tree slice cheese boards, and boho patchwork handbags. You can feel good about the socially responsible, fair-trade, handmade, eco-friendly gifts (for yourself too!) that you'll buy here. read more

Unique household items and gifts that are fair trade and vegan. Only Downside: Everything is very pricey. read more

Very cool store! The things they have are so unique. I'm not a "shopper" but I could spend a couple of hours in this store. If you are looking for unique gifts, go to Nest. Everything I've gotten from here gets me a ".....WOW, that's so cool! Where did you get that?!" The staff is also super friendly and super helpful. Jenny, in particular, is such a joy! All of this and everything they sell is Fair Trade, so you are helping the environment and people around the world. read more

This store is a great place to purchase a wide variety of gifts, household items and clothes for the socially conscious shopper and/or gift recipient. Nest has a great array of products ranging from informative and entertaining books to various crafts and jewelery created by artisans that are paid a fair price. There really are so many different types of products that you just have to go to the store and peruse for yourself. Last time I purchased a really neat pink salt candle holder that purifies the air when you burn a candle in it. It was very fairly priced and I use it a couple times a week. The staff at Nest are very friendly and knowledgeable. read more

Very cute boutique with a funky hippie vibe. One fitting room with a cloth curtain I was taking turns with the other girl trying things on. Adorable clothes in eco fabrics. Lots of tees with "green" messages. Rustic dinner ware, items like journals from handmade paper and candles. Rely wanted to buy a dress or tee but everything was either too sheer or an awkward cut. Determined, bought a great non leather belt. Very sweet person at the register. Could have spent more time looking at the jewelry. Lots packed into a narrow space. Rely looking forward to going back. read more

Love this place, and the whole concept of the "conscious corner" in this cute little nook of a strip mall.

I like this place, three stars is not bad. But I just feel like it is lacking. I think they could have done a lot more with this store. Their organic clothing is hippieish and not anything that I would be excited about wearing. Mostly their whole selection is not what it should be....given the store space is limited....it feels a little hippieish to me. I don't think that is a bad thing.....it just seems like a lot of items are not that useful or exciting. Plus I felt that everything was really overpriced. I'm a discount organic shopper and when it comes to items for the home or gifts....they don't have to be expensive to be healthy. This is a fair trade store so I can understand that they are not Walmart. I have no problem spending money as long as I can find neat stuff....I will definitely go back at some point and see if I was wrong. But on first visit I wasn't overly impressed. I do support their goals and did find some things to purchase. I ended up getting some wooden dishware that were very nice for christmas presents. But I did spend quite a bit on it....50 dollars for a thin olive tray, a small three compartment hourderv dish and a small butter dish. read more

Cute store with tons of little treasures. A great place if you are looking for a special gift for someone as well. Only dislike is I feel they are overpriced. I would purchase much more from here if the prices were a little more reasonable. read more

I love this place, every time I go in I find something unique and great. Lately, there have been a lot of sale items too, which is nice for the budget-conscious shopper. They have a great selection of books and jewelry and tons of eco-friendly clothes, shoes, and accessories. They also have a lot of great stuff for the house. The organic baby items are so cute. Great place to buy a gift, for someone else or yourself! read more

I love this store and can spend a lot of time there! The only problem is that I am on a very tight budget, so I don't get to buy much. I love to look though and wish for more $$$. I'm planning on shopping prudently and buying one great item as I can afford it, so I'm glad to have it nearby. read more

this is absolutely one of my favorite stores. they offer a selection of eco-friendly, socially responsible and artisan made items from books to jewelry to clothing. a great place to buy a gift for any occasion or to browse for yourself while you're waiting for a table next door! read more
