The store is very organized with high quality outdoor gear/supplies! They have basically everything that you need to survive in the outdoors.

The collaboration with the Appalachian Mountain Club was great, reminding people to get outside and get the gear that can keep you on adventures.

Date of visit: April 13, 2026…read more I have long appreciated the mission of Patagonia and thought that someday I will splurge on one of their items, like a vest. As we don't have any stores back home, I was intrigued when we came upon this store in Williamsburg. Note that I said "intrigued," and not "I purchased something," as I still could not wrap my mind around the prices and that "someday" was still not "this day." Staff didn't really interact with us (maybe they knew we're too poor to buy anything) but I didn't mind the opportunity to look around in peace and give my eyebrows a workout with each price tag I flipped over. The Sale rack was laughable in both the discount and the paltry selection of items available, but you better believe I looked at it anyway! The store was in great condition, too--not that that is a great shock given the average cost of an item. Someday, Patagonia, someday!

I came here with my sister to do an even exchange and we drove from Long Island to visit this store…read morebecause they dont have a location on Long Island unfortunately. Believe it or not i found a parking spot in front of the store which was amazing considering I had my infant. The moment we walked in they had an umbrella stand which was perfect because it was extremely rainy that day. We were welcomed by the staff and they told us there was an elevator with a kid section which was nice to see because I have a newborn son and a 6 year old daughter. However, we decided to get two sundresses instead that were amazing quality and so nice. The store is so nice and well decorated. The furniture is so comfortable that was I even able to feed my son there in peace. I would definitely return when I have extra money to splurge on nice good quality clothing.

Purchased a jacket online, it was on sale and not refundable. I communicated via email a number of…read moretimes and never received a response. The jacket I ordered is a men's size medium. It arrive today and there's absolutely no way it's a medium--I couldn't get my arms through it. I asked someone who wears a small to try it on and they couldn't either. It has to be women's sizing. Finally, it was advertised with a full price of $800, making the discount I received seem sizable. The full price on the garment tag shows it as $500, not $800. Just incredibly disappointed with my whole experience and will never shop here again.

Terrible customer service…read more Provided wrong stock counts on website for recent collection release. Refunded without warning or explanation after a considerable amount of time. For the stock that was available - waited over a month with no arrival, contacted the carrier but was referred to the 'sender' as the shipping label was created but the item was still awaiting. Meaning the stock was potentially lost sometime in-between leaving the store and arriving at the post office. Tried to avoid leaving a review but am receiving minimal clarity in their email responses. Slowly accepting will probably have to accept the loss. 10/10 will never shop here again. Hopefully Quiet Mountain Cafe will choose an alternative store to release through next time. Appalling.

We've shopped at Paragon for decades and always had good to great experiences there. The staff is…read morewell-informed, has integrity and the merchandise is of excellent quality. Tonight l had another great experience at Paragon thanks to the sensitivity and good nature of Mike R in the upstairs shoe and boot department. As a rule, my 88-year old husband doesn't like to buy himself new clothes. But after what feels like weeks in this polar vortex, with him stubbornly trudging and slipping through the snow in old rubber rain boots and a cane, l stopped hinting and put my foot down: we were going to buy him some warm, waterproof boots with cleats. Knowing that he might only put up with one outing, I decided to scout Paragon on my own, first. Mike R. advised me he had only one style of boot that fit what l was looking for and not many sizes left. When he came back with a size in the ballpark, l asked if he could hold it for me. Mike was blunt: he couldn't do any 24-hour holds with the stock so low, but he could hold it for two hours. I thanked him, explaining that if l bought these and presented them to my husband as a done deal he would never even try them on. But we'd be back, within the hour. When we arrived on the floor, Mike picked right up on the dynamic: this was not a customer for a hard sell. And so Mike was the soul of discretion. He kept a low profile, talking quietly and only to me and showed up just often enough to be helpful. He was patient, kind and l got the feeling he was enjoying the challenge of selling without ever even connecting with the guy trying on the boots. And Mike's strategy worked! We made the transition from my husband's original reaction to the only boots in his size ("l hate them!") to walking out with four pairs of socks and that same pair of warm, waterproof boots with cleats. I am deeply grateful to and frankly in awe of Mike R, Paragon boots department. Thank you!

The two ladies who work in the ski clothing department are amazing! They were super friendly and…read moreattentive. They showed me different options, gave helpful advice, and offered to bring me different sizes and base layer suggestions to try with my ski pants. Unfortunately, I forgot their names, but one was a middle-aged Spanish woman and the other was a young Black woman with blonde curls. They were there on Wednesday around 3:30-4:00 p.m. When I was finished, the Spanish lady even told me about the run club they host on Tuesdays. I really enjoyed my experience at the store because of them!

In fact, I was lucky enough to stop by right after they had a competition so there were both regular and comp climbs up. The community was also very welcoming (as the climbing community should be) with people encouraging and supporting each other. It's located close to a live poultry shop. Basic Brooklyn vibes. I would 100% come back. Finally the staff were super kind to me. My friend who lives in Ny just wanted to come to support me and they just asked her to sign the waiver and she came to chat.

5-Star Experience!…read more BQ Sports is the real deal. Kathy and George are absolute legends! They made a Don Mattingly jersey for me about 25 years ago, and this year I came across some blanks and Googled "embroidery shop Brooklyn McCarren Park." When BQ Sports popped up, it was like a time warp walking back in -- the shop looks exactly how I left it in 2000, in the best nostalgic way possible. This place is super authentic, super old-school, and still delivering top-tier quality in 2025. The blanks are quality, the varsity jackets are quality, and the embroidery is perfection. I brought in a blank Reebok Pro Line jersey and had it customized into an Amani Toomer -- it literally looks like I pulled it off the rack in 1999. Couldn't ask for anything better. End of the day: their work is amazing, the turnaround time is solid, and their craftsmanship is unmatched. I picked up a few more blanks and George is already lined up to customize them ASAP. I'll keep coming here as long as those doors are open. And ignore the negative comments -- Kathy is a busy woman, yes she's on her phone, but she ALWAYS takes care of her customers. Highly recommend BQ Sports to anybody who wants REAL, authentic, old-school quality. Brooklyn gem for life.

My son's team used to use BQ for their uniforms. This year I called them up and told them which…read moreteam I was on--a specific name and age group--and they sent me through an order form. I said I only needed to update a couple of items and the others I didn't need and they insisted I had to buy a whole AND pay a late fee. They failed to tell me that they were no longer working with the team and that they didn't get any other orders from any teammates this year. When the uniforms arrived it was something that we hadn't used in too years. When I brought this up to them they said they hadn't done anything wrong and refused to let me return any of the items, even unused ones that could be used by other people, that didn't have names or anything else. I asked my teammates and this isn't the first time they took order for the team after the relationship had already ended. DO NOT GO TO THESE GUYS. SUPER DISHONEST.
