Michaels: what do users think?
Michael DiBona Sr: Awful
Mike Powers: On stop shop for all craft needs in store
BHAMA: Beautiful!!
Doreen M: Nice store,clean! Alot of everything there. Fun craft ideas!
Richard Cadet: Great service
Chris West: I love this location as it's downstairs and is a lot bigger than it appears to be.
Karen Aldred: They quickly directed me to what I was looking for.
William Freedberg: Not the greatest. Two employees for the whole store, and dishonest about what is in stock. The person I spoke with didn't know the item I was asking about even existed, but after a few minutes on hold said they carried it. I came in and another store associate looked around and said they didn’t have it. I later called and got the first person I talked to, she told me to come by again and she'd find it for me. It turns out she didn't know they had it in stock but the manager had just told her they probably have it. Then she confirmed she didn’t know where it was, and had me go look myself, and of course I didn't find it. Waist of stairs.
bing yu: 连锁的手工商店,经济实惠,单没有惊喜。毛线种类很多,但编织工具缺货严重。
Anna Woods: it was fine i mean it was a michaels. slightly overpriced but i blame corporate for that but it was well organized the staff was kind and the spring collection is lovely. Everything is easy to find i just wish the seasonal items were more toward the front of the store instead of randomly hodge podged about
Leah Klein: Good sized shop with lots of crafting supplies from baking to woodworking and everything in between.
Anthony Davis: Nice store
H Marp: Michaels is Michaels a typical big box Craft and hobby store. Similar products to others like Hobby lobby I guess
Nicola Lamberto: Tanti cibi etnici . Trovi di tutto
Emilie Dunnenberger: Fairly organized but the layout of the store is so disorienting
David Bernier: Friendly knowledgeable and cost efficient
rocio tacuri: I always find everything I need for my projects. Good prices too!
William Johnson: All your arts and craft needs
Oscar Castillo: I was looking for yarn to make a blanket and they had a wide selection and great discounts too
Rena Lund: Horrible customer service. Curbside pick up was a joke. I sat out there for 20 minutes with my kid in his car seat. I called three times. She kept telling me he couldn’t find me even though I was in front of the door and no one came out. This is not the first time I had problems with curbside pick up at the store. It’s a joke .

Artist & Craftsman Supply Cambridge: what do users think?
Laura Palmer Edwards: For years, this was my go to place for all my art products. You’ve left me with Blick! Too bad.
Sagger K: Sadly the place is closing on the 14th. Going to miss it.
Cheryl Singleton: The staff is always helpful & the selection varied. Hope they can stay in Cambridge!
Brian Chan: Too bad they are moving! I love coming here for the wide selection of art supplies and curios. The staff is always helpful and knowledgeable.
Eric Song: Best place for art supplies, and more affordable than blick's across the street
fRobert Myers: Sad to see them go, will absolutely follow them to a new location
Lisa D: Simply the best art store in the area…plus great stocking stuffers and gifts
Garry Jean bapitste: He was good
Catherine A: Favorite art supply store in the greater Boston area!
Sam and Lizzie: Love the quality of the supplies here! I purchase my graffiti paint here. It's got a lot of interesting supplies for arts and crafts and helpful staff.
theo reidy: I love this place. from basic art supplies to quirky things ... great selection and fair prices.
Mike Grill: this place rocksmake sure you check out the clearance prices, otherwise you may spend a pretty penny
Julie Croston: I've been going for years and I am very happy with their customer service and their advice when I've had questions. It's important to me that this is a local 100% employee-owned company .The educator discount on top of already discounted prices is a bonus.
Elyssa Lozano: They have quite a bit of everything. Pencils, pens, markers, paints, brushes, TONS of paper (even the really nice ones in used to being used for bookmaking), notebooks, stamps, stamp-making, even interesting artsy postcards. I'm sure I'm forgetting more than I'm remembering, but I loved it.
Joseph Chow: They sell proportional scales, art supplies, resin, games, stickers, and gift wrap. Perfect for waiting the train to Ashmont or Braintree.
Silva Silkfern: Used to love this place. Would come here in high school frequently for the student discount, and there was a lovely black man who worked the counter who always recognized me. However, the staff has changed, and the dark haired girl at the counter now is shockingly unpleasant to customers for no reason. Will be going to blicks in the future
Karen Melchior: Staff are always helpful, and have a great selection of art supplies for multiple levels of experience.
Margarette Mattos: As pessoas que trabalham nao sabem se tem o material.
Naya Tsoroni: Cool place but the brunette haired girl in the cashier has an attitude issue. I just walked out, my mask went down slightly (still covering my nose) and she had the worst attitude telling me to put it on. It’s not what she said, it’s how she said it. Blick across the street has the same variety with actually kind people.
Nicholas Welch: So much stuff and creative experiece. A staff member gave me hints on making my costume for Halloween better and more realisitic. I used their advice and it worked.
Suzanne Shepard: Unique gifts and cards plus good selection + pricing on artist supplies

gather here: what do users think?
Dan T: I received a gift card for two classes at Gather Here for Christmas but have been unable to actually sign up for any of the basic classes. They only allow 4 slots (which sounds nice, more personalized attention) but they fill up almost immediately. I have no idea if I'll ever get a slot in a class, which means the gift card is useless.
Jessie Micallef: Staff was super helpful and friendly. Surprisingly large selection for a "local" store, especially with fun patterned fabrics, cross stitch kits, and embroidery kits. I'm looking forward to returning soon for more supplies and checking out the classes schedule
Rowan Johnson: Store is catered to people too inexperienced to realize they’re overpaying for basically everything in the store, especially patterned quilt fabric and yarn. Paltry selection of patterns of any kind. Classes are not worth the money if you aren’t a beginner. Owner still requiring everyone to wear masks in 2023. Decent if you need one or two small things and you’re in the area or want to window shop for inspiration but not a place to buy a quilt top’s or sweater’s worth of supplies.
Jonathan Che: Cute store, great selection, excellent community vibes inside. Staff was super helpful and patient with my beginner questions. Note that masks are currently required (disposable masks available at the door)
Vivian Cheng: I loved visiting here with No idea what I’m talking about and walking away with a bunch of tools to learn a new skill for life! What a cool shop with caring, talented team Ave amazing fun tools and all-natural fibers that appeal to all crafty characters. I am amazed I didn’t walk out with more fun projects to try, there’s just too many cool things to choose from.
Molly Ruggles: A wonderful store, great staff, excellent selection, a very nice addition to Inman Square. As noted by others, the pricing is quite steep. But perhaps that is what's necessary to support small businesses.
Kayla Caulfield: I stopped by gather here today for the second time (first time was this past August). I came by today to pick up specific items for an introductory knitting class that I will be taking next January at Cambridge Center for Adult Education. I was not at all familiar with the items that were on the class materials list and a gather here employee was incredibly helpful in helping me find the items as well as described them to a beginner like myself. The other employees I interacted with were kind as well.There's so much to look at in there- they not only have individual materials but also have starter kits for various types of fiber projects.They have completed projects on display such as tote bags, and as I was looking at them, I thought to myself- I want to make that! I hope to score a spot in a sewing class soon (which I've heard go quickly). They're a fantastic small business to support.
Andrew Smith: Nice shop. Good selection of fabrics. Enjoyed seeing the the long arm in action. Got several good ideas for using with our long arm.
melinda athey: Great selection of embroidery kits!
Inness: What a sweet little craft store! Bunch of sewing machines at the back.
Sarah Tweedie: Beautiful selection of fabric, helpful staff
Brian Twitchell: Lots of small kits for beginners. Yarn and fabric and some craft supply tools. There was even a class or gathering for embroidery or something when I went recently. They have a rewards program, helpful staff, and require masks to help support their community's safety.
StarSixSeven: Wonderful little haberdashery. They don’t have all of the ancillary tools you may need but what they do have is leaps and bounds better than your typical chain store
Ava French: The staff here are wonderful and I loved taking a class as a refresher for sewing!
Alyssa Smith: Everyone is very helpful and considerate here, and my dog loves to say hi to the staff (we both love that Gather Here is dog-friendly). Wanted to also say thank you for requiring masks! There’s so much we don’t know about the long term effects of covid, but we already know that masking can help vulnerable members of our community stay safe. I’m so glad to see one of my favorite places taking a stand and saying that vulnerable people are worth protecting and the pandemic isn’t over!!
Catherine Berry: Absolutely enjoyed my recent visit. Pleasantly surprised at the beautiful fabrics, variety and the exceptional quality. Ah . . . and the notions!! Definitely will add this shop to my list of favorite haunts for my quilting supplies.
Kate O'Leary: Great selection, wonderful staff.
t c: Son liked the place. Great/friendly service, selection and good prices. He bought some yarn for knitting.
Sarah Welch: This is a great craft store with tons of neat little notions. I'm a knitter, and I appreciated the selection of yarns they had for a store that's not just dedicated to yarn.
Ruthmary Weinger: Such a wealth of great kits, gadgets and beautiful fabrics! I love visiting this store.
Annabel Smith: Learned to knit here and haven’t stopped since. I’m in this store like at least once a week. Really nice staff and beautiful products. Kind of expensive but more than worth it for the amazing quality. Definitely come here if you want to learn knitting (or other fiber crafts)!!

Blick Art Materials: what do users think?

Andrea Michalik: Love it, love it, love it!The workers was very helpful and pleasant and made the experience even better!
Tyana Williams: Was followed around by a employee I think he was a manager mad me feel uncomfortable I don’t think I’ll be back at this location anymore
Anand Murthy: Good products. Pricey
Kaeli Dovid: Great service, got help right away, helpful....
Bill the Handyman: So cool
Tyler Motes: This is one of my favorite places to get simple supplies. I wish they carried more for fountain pens, but one store can’t have everything. The staff have always been extremely nice and the prices are fair.
Sahar Tariq: Best quality curated materials, they take the guesswork out of which stuff is good quality and which stuff is just children's crafty by keeping everything that is good quality, you can't go wrong. Highly recommend the store brand stuff, they're not so pricey but yet amazing professional quality. Also the staff are super nice and friendly, and go out of their way to be helpful, both in the store and at rhe printing section. It may seem a bit small but that's because they don't fill the store with junk. Also, the other art store across the street has a habit of racially profiling and being so creepy, but Blick has always been my favourite place with super nice people.
Simon Belkin: Knowledgeable staff looking to help you find art and craft supplies
Demba Ba: I really appreciate the courtesy of the people that work here who I've run into while shopping at many different occasions. I like their attention to detail.Congrats to the manager for building an atmosphere that fosters great service.
Json A: Has everything and more.
Kyle W: An art supply store of the highest caliber. Here you will find a wide array of nearly all your art needs, as well as a friendly and helpful staff. When it comes to art supplies, quality really makes a difference and at Blick they have some really quality stuff. I highly recommend this place if your just starting out (like me) or if you're a professional artist. Love it.
Richard Graham Richgraham617@Gmail. Com: It's a very creative experience shopping here! Walking through the isles, which are marked thoroughly one way, gets your creative juices flowing. The staff is very helpful and kind. They are willing to go above and beyond to help. The reason for 4 stars is because the store is cramped, not much room to move around. But, will definitely be shopping here again.
Elizabeth: Fantastic little crafts store. Especially great for painting supplies and, at the front of the shop, cute and interesting gifts for kids or arty friends/family.
Dawn Miller: Love this place!

Go support a local small business instead.
Josh: Amazing cards for the price. Good deals online
Grace Fu: Super beautiful and colorful store!
Eric Fonnesbeck: Great store with an excellent selection of very unique cards. Perfectly clean as well. The staff were kind and helpful. Highly recommend!
