Have been coming here for years, made friends with the owner. She can sometimes be curt but is often busy taking care of things, so it's no biggie to me how her attitude is. In the past, the unique selections and easy atmosphere kept me coming back, but recently I have seen the business has been cut in half (the shop is 1/2 the size!) and is now much, MUCH smaller, tighter and cramped. The selection is now standard affair that one would find at any boho gift shop, especially along the Hudson. Some candles, some notecards, some souvenirs in cup or card form, some small pillows ... maybe some boho/artsy/indie jewelry. Meh cards along the wall. I get why they had to slim down and cut back ($$), but all the "trading" aspects of the shop are now gone. Maybe 10% still exists in the form of honey and an artisan candle here and there, or some jewelry, but the furniture, incenses, most artisan soaps and kitchen goods (except some souvenir cups) are all gone. There used to be a giant selection of jewelry, dream catchers, wind chimes - all echoed through the store and welcomed you in. It's now gone. Still, a great little place to stop in but it's now a lite, fat free version of what we had before. Prices are mid range and parking can be very tricky on busy weekends when tourists are all around, especially in the afternoon. Again, it's worth checking out, but don't expect any unique goods or anything that's too artisan or a really fun, fun find. Good for candles, matches, pillows, socks, some clothes in the back. read more

PROS: This place is a cute shop that my mom always love to go into. The lady that runs the place is very nice and greets everyone that comes in. They have a nice selection of anything gift shop related you can think of. CONS: Parking is always tough to find on the street but I won't hold that against their star rating OVERALL: A great place to check out if you're in the area and if you want to find parking either park in the municipal lot on Main Street or come early for street parking read more

This place has the most interesting pieces of furniture, knickknacks, jewelry and clothing. If you want to get a great unique gift or add an eclectic piece of decor to your home this is definitely a place you may want to check out. The owner is very hands on and she is very friendly. I always have a lovely experience in this store. You tend to never see the same things twice. read more

I have bought 4 different pieces of furniture over the years from this store, among many other things, and my experience with the current owner , was identical the review by V.Y. . The owner is curt, dismissive, and unlike the young people working there who are pleasant, was obnoxious, and odious. I will not be giving them business, because as a "trading" company and store in general , the most important thing is to be courteous and pleasant to customers. The owner epitomizes the C word. read more

I wish I had read the reviews before walking into this store. My husband and I were browsing, and when I was in the jewelry area a saleswoman asked me to move aside so she could pass by. She then approached another customer near me and asked her if she wanted to see anything. It became offensive to me because the saleswoman never asked if I needed any help; she completely dismissed me as a customer. It appears that the store only values certain customers based on their appearance. My husband later told me the other saleswoman was watching him while he was looking around, which has never happened in any other store. When there was a necklace I wanted to see in a case, I decided not to bother looking for assistance after feeling alienated. It is rather ironic that a "trading company" is not respectful of different cultures given the ethnic merchandise they sell. Very unpleasant experience, disappointing. read more

Very cute little store with a lot of beautiful candles and decor for the house, it was a pleasure to shop there and the service was quick and nice and I would like to come back here again; the prices are very affordable especially if you are used to be in New York City. read more

Saffron Trading Company - Home & Garden Near Me - Nyack, New York

See all

I was visiting Nyack this past weekend with family and doing some window (and actual) shopping. I came across Saffron Trading Company and went in - they had a lot of cute items for your home, as well as some jewelry, scarves, etc. The store was moderately crowded for a Sunday afternoon and as I was looking at a jewelry case, my phone beeped. I pulled it out of my purse, and no sooner had I done so, a saleswoman started yelling at me to "please move because you are texting and not looking at the jewelry." I was a little confused (as were the people next to me; I wasn't blocking their view or anything) and when I began to defend myself, she simply raised her voice and started making a scene. I decided it was best not to fight with someone over something so ridiculous, but I did leave without purchasing the necklace I was eyeing. The entire situation was sort of embarrassing (for her, mostly) and I thought it was bizarre that they would treat a customer in such a rude manner. Alas, I won't be going back there again on my next trip to Nyack - plenty of other cute little stores that will gladly take my money (and allow me to check my phone when it beeps!). read more

Lovely local shop. Very accommodating customer service. Had one challenge but the staff completely turned around.

If I could buy the whole shop, I would. It's a perfectly curated collection of candles, lotions, scarves, mins, notebooks, anything and everything whimsical, bohemian and quaint. Perfect giftshop and very nice ladies! read more

This store is gorgeous and they take great pride in their displays (not just the window, the entire store is a stunning display of their merchandise). They have a great selection of decorative items, awesome teas, tons of candles and candleholders, beautiful jewelry (a lot of it nature-inspired), a really well-edited selection of clothing, and unique children's items. They also carry a lot of products from The Soap & Paper Factory, a local company that's one of my favorites. This store is very, very Nyack - eclectic, funky, upscale earthy... a great place to shop for gifts, or for yourself! read more

We went to the store and tried to find a specific type of book set for children. When we saw that there was only the display set, we asked if they had the box. They only looked for a couple of minutes and said they didn't have the box. They also said that they ordered a shipment and it would come in 2 to 3 weeks. And they prevented us from purchasing it that day. We realized that the book set was from the same company who made the children's puzzles, and so my wife called 2 days later to ask the company/brand of the puzzles. They didn't help, said they haven't ordered the shipment of it, and at first said they couldn't look at the product and give us the name. When pressed, they said the first name of the brand, but we couldn't understand it, and when we asked for the person to spell it, they didn't, and kept repeating the name. Then she told us to Google it. How can we Google it if we can't spell it? And they said there were extremely busy with customers, on Friday around 1:30pm. We called again, and I called this time. I asked for the name brand of the children's puzzles and if they could tell me what it was. The same lady told me that they were extremely busy, and that they would call me after they were done with their current customer. I waited over an hour and they didn't call me. So I called again. The lady, Nancy, said that she couldn't do tell me the name of the book, that they encourage people to come into the stores to look at the products themselves. I explained that in reality, I wasn't look for the children's puzzles, but the children's books, which wasn't in stock at the moment. That we went to Saffron a couple of days ago and would have bought it there, but they weren't available. Nancy still told me that she couldn't tell me, that I would have to come in, and hung up. I waited a few seconds and called again. Nancy changed her voice in hopes that I wouldn't recognize her, but she still told me her name was Nancy. When I said that I just called, she changed her voice back to normal again. I explained the situation again, saying that all we're trying to do is get the name of a book set, and that we're calling because it's not in the stores, so there is no point in going to the store. And that if your policy is that we have to come into the store so that you won't lose business, then Saffron needs a new business model because obviously you are failing. I asked to speak to the manager, and Nancy said that I spoke to her earlier. And she said that my wife already spoke to her, and I explained that while she did speak to the manager, she didn't understand her and didn't get the name. So finally, Nancy told me the name, and I started to look it up on the computer. Nancy didn't even wait for me to finish looking it up and said she had to go. This is the opposite of what they say on their website. Just go to the About section and read what's under "Our Commitment to our Customers." That is pathetic. Changing voices? Lying? Laziness? This is a horrible store. And the only reason I give 1 star is because I can't give 0. read more
