Stawberry- Again, East 34th Street, in Empire State Building

This store looked nice enough to me..

Reviewers have mixed feelings about the lower priced goods but on the whole pretty positive..left in some of the older ones because they all say the same thing

Well, it aint Saks Fifth Avenue

    This is a really cute store. They have a bunch of them all oven mid-town. Ok so this is not your high fashion join but they have cute trendy pieces for good prices. Its also a great place to get basics for cheap too! I got a really unique and cute peplum top and some leggings. (Top $20/ leggings $3 ea./ after thanksgiving sale.)

    Overall, I liked the store I wish they had them where I live in other words... IM A FAN!

    Cute Store with Cute Pieces. As stated in the previous reviews, it is cheap and it is not the most sturdiest fabrics. But Hey, I love bargains and I love little stuff here and there!! I purchased a belt, 2 shirts, a pair of earrings and some flats today. It came under $40 and I was not mad at all. I understand it may not last long, but I know I can make it cute for 3 seperate occasions at least. The shoes even longer. I went downstairs to the plus size which I don't understand why it would be labeled Plus-Size. All the clothes down there run small. I did see a jacket in an XL but the rest of the pieces were under Large. I bought a silk-like shirt for $9 and I'm proud of it, I will be a statement when I wear it. I like this store and HIGHLY suggest you checking them out.

    If you have read my other Yelp reviews, you know that I have a pissy attitude toward cheap polyester-tastic stores, such as Strawberry. But after today's events, I feel that I may have to revise said attitude.

    It goes without saying that the stuff is CHEAP, the fabrics for the most part are FLAMMABLE, and the sales staff are INDIFFERENT, but I saw some cute trendy pleather jackets in the window display, pinched myself, and went in.

    And there it was.
    The CUTEST brown pleather bomber jacket. Cute details, good length, didn't feel like a trash bag. $29.99. I pinched myself again. Then took the escalator back up to buy it.

    So Strawberry, I have to say I may actually consider you for some of my clothing needs in the future. Sorry I judged you so harshly.

    The clothes here I don't bother with because you get what you pay for and it's all dirt cheap.

    The shoes on the other hand, *fans self*, they're impressive.  The back of the store is like a gold mine of sexy designer heels.  They sell Steve Madden and Jessica Simpson's brand shoes here (among other brands).  Who would have thought right?  And they've always got my size.  This is like my go to spot when I need a new pair of shoes.

    Very low-priced store with informal garb for women, including accessories. like hats, gloves, jewelry.

    Hit or miss, but you can often find something you like.

    I've browsed in Strawberry before but this is the first time I actually bought something there.  I view clothes shopping as an art; you have to have an eye for it or you're going to look horrid.

    Annoyed about size limits and the cluttered feel of the place (no small bottom sizes).  I didn't find precisely what I was looking for but found something interesting that I thought could be useful for my purposes.

    Cheap prices, they have fitting rooms and the checkout line moved at a decent cuff.  I'd come back.

    Incredible store for the latest trends for cheap $$$. Alot of the clothes are nicely made- you can find something that looks expensive- I love their shoes and boots as well.

    This store has been here since 1990 I believe.

    I only came here to buy a pair of Anne Klein tights, but spotted some nice seamless undies and  a few t-shirts, and camis to stock up for the rest of the hot Summer.

    The accessories are okay...nothing to get excited about.

    The prices are cheaper than I would like but who doesn't like saving money these days.

    Not my first choice, but went there out of convenience.

    It's not Banana Republic or Anne Taylor, but if your looking for nice casual clothes that dont break the bank, you might want to consider going in.

    I've bought a few things from there, but what will draw me back is their excellent customer service. I purchased a bag that the lining tore only a few weeks after I bought it. I couldnt get a refund, but they did allow me to exchange it for something else. And if you cant find what your looking for at Strawberry, there are a half a dozen clothing stores down the block.

    The clothes are cheap- not always made super well. BUT I never have a problem finding something to buy, like a cute dress or boots or a purse. They tend to have some pushy bargin shoppers in there sometimes, you just gotta ignore that.
    Avoid this place tho about 30mins before they close.. the employees tend to be grouchy clockwatchers around that time

    This place has some sale items upstairs, and plus stuff downstairs. It's too crowded, but some good stuff is to be had at every location of Strawberry.

    Strawberry's is one of those stores where you are never quite sure what you are gonna get.  They are best for accessories like gloves, scarves and necklaces.  Every once in awhile I'll find a nice sweater or blouse.  You have to have patience to pick through the racks.

    My niece and I stopped by to try to find something to wear for our night out in NYC.  Man this store is a hot mess.  Thought Forever 21 was bad.  The store was crowded...unorganized...and clothes everywhere.  I mean like on the floor everywhere.  Couldn't find any workers to help us with anything.  We walked around the store once and left.  Couldnt' find anything underneath the mess.

    This place has cheap clothes that are very trendy, not too bad in quality but some of the stuff I would NEVER wear.  I found a couple of really cute tops that was $19.99 each.  And NO TAX!  Some of the brands are found at Loehmann's back home so the quality was not too bad.  It's located inside the Manhattan Mall (which is really ghetto, I just was bored and watched to check it out since the subway stop led up to this mall).

    Saw these stores everywhere when we visited NYC. It's reminds me of an even cheaper Forever 21. Looked around and most things just looked cheap as in tacky. Not my kind of store, but it was interesting and apparently prolific in the city since we saw signs and stores every were it seemed.

    I had never been in a Strawberry store and I was pleasantly surprised by how cute their clothes were and the prices.  I only saw one person working there but it was early when they had first opened and she was very friendly and helpful.  I would definitely go back again.  I do wish they had an online store though
