    Attitude of owner--abrasive and condescending. His repairs don't last. I've returned twice for two different clocks.

    I would give them zero stars if that was an option…read more They destroyed my platinum and diamond ring. I stated very clearly and emphatically that I did not want my rings cut. I just wanted the retentive beads added back to the intaglio surface to help prevent my rings from rotating. I had previously had the retention beads but had Greenan remove the beads when I gained weight. W. Greenan even placed a drawing of what I wanted on the envelope. They got so focused on the size of the ring instead of my desire to JUST add the beads (like I had before). What did they do? They cut my rings. :-( Now, the diamond setting is so heavy because the cut (replaced) band is so much lighter it can't counter the weight of the setting. So now my diamond rotates worse than before and stays in the palm of my hand. I have used Greenan and Sons for the past 20 years for all my fine jewelry needs. I even sent friends to them for their engagement rings. Disappointment doesn't adequately describe how I feel right now. When I pointed out my concerns, nothing but rationalizations and talk about size again. Walt Greenan argued with me and stated that he called to get my approval when he did not. He called to say the rings were ready for pick up. If he had NOT gone on ad nauseum about his foot/boot and Thanksgiving with his family that included his ex, he would have heard and understood my request, his customer's request. I thought I could have a more rational conversation with the younger Greenan who was in the store when I brought my rings in and also heard my request for my rings not to be cut. I pointed out that the weight of the engagement ring was grossly different. The band had been cut, and the rings prongs and band had been overly polished so that the prongs had been burnished and the ornate scribing of the band had been completely removed. He, too, was a hot head. He also went on to state that the ring had to be cut to be sized. I DID NOT ASK for the RING to be SIZED. I asked for the beads to be added. He handed my rings back to me. He stated he wasn't going to argue with me and marched off. All I asked for were for the retentive beads to be added to my rings, nothing else. I am thankful I have 2 previous appraisals with photos for my next steps. Greenan and Sons are not what they used to be, not in customer service and not in craftsmanship.

    I have just had the most horrific experience at this store that's 4 months in the making. My…read moredaughter brought a strand of pink pearls (20) there in August to have them repaired. They did not call us back to inform us that the repair was completed until today. When I looked at the strand of pearls one was the wrong size and the wrong color the other was the wrong color. When we took them back to the store to point out that there was an issue before we even finished the sentence the guy at the store Walter completely lost his cool. He was shouting at us saying that they didn't do anything to our jewelry and escalated the situation far more than it should have been. My daughter attempted to tell him that this was the second piece of jewelry that they have damaged (the other was her promise ring) he waved her off, spoke over her and said "well I don't know about that". He proceeded to say something about "you people" which is concerning. Walter also called us "disgusting" and began to twist whatever we said into the most absurd thing he could think of. For example I said "there's more than one way to skin a cat" to my daughter when she began to get visibly upset by Walter's actions and words and his response was to shout "oh so now I'm a rat and you're going to skin me, so you're threatening me". After this he started getting more and more angry when we tried to reiterate that these pearls were matched to each other and he began to slam things on the counter, he snatched the pearls from my daughters hands and when she took them back from him, he marched behind the stand, picked up the phone and threatened to call the police. At that point we left the store and called the other location as that's where the owner is. We spoke to a nice gentleman at that location and told him all that had happened. This gentleman's first response to the name Walter was "oh god". When we finished the story and told him about Walter calling us "you people" and we raised the question on whether he is a bigot or a sexist he said "well Walter has an antiquated view of women". Take of that as you will. I plan on never coming here again, in addition I don't think you should either as at the very least this manager is a sexist with anger issues. With his mannerisms I felt as though if there hadn't have been a display between us I would have been struck.

    The place was a bit difficult to find. So I called the phone number but it wasn't working. Finally…read moreI found it. It was in front of the Silver Spring library in a separate island on its own. It's a bit difficult to describe but if you walk on the Fenton St, you ll see little flags/banners (attached in my pictures). Follow them and go past the railing and the store is on the first floor. It's confusing because the address is 900 Wayne but it is easier to get to from Fenton. They could use a small banner on Wayne. The place itself is okay. The cronuts and bagels were fine. Nothing special. The seating inside was a bit odd. The barista area looked pretty clean though. The service was fast. There wasn't enough variety of food. If you want a quick bagel and coffee, it is okay but otherwise I would pass.

They're operating…read morefrom there in a scaled-down way until their Silver Spring location is fully renovated -- at the end of 2025, I was told. The Kensington location is open mostly on Saturdays -- at 4120 Howard Avenue, from 9:00 am -2:30 pm. (I think Diego said they were also there some Sundays.) Bump 'n Grind offers a delightful coffee-buying experience. Diego was most gracious and friendly. He sold me a bag of Mix Tape, a wonderfully rich medium roast coffee, which he ground on the spot for me. While my friend and I were there, two other groups of people appeared to buy coffee. It felt like a mini-market gathering among cognoscenti who knew where to get the best coffee. Very much like a small community gathering. Highly recommended.
