Bed Bath & Beyond

I’m a fan of their international food section — esp. when I needed to get ladyfinger cookies to make tiramisu. The staff are also incredibly friendly, I’ve come on many occasions to buy anything from curtains to bedsheets. Love the variety of items as well!

Believe it or not, Bed Bath and Beyond = specialty drink outlet!
Looked all over the town’s specialty stores for domestic and international ginger beers (mass-​produced specialty, not the small-​batch stuff) and landed at BB&B.
To my surprise, was thrilled to see the top-​notch Bundaberg Australian ginger beer displayed front and center. A look deeper in the racks revealed a solid variety including Cock & Bull (mostly distributed on the west coast), among others. There’s also a freezer section!
The rest of the two-​level store was as comprehensive as the next BB&B.

This place is coo-​coo bananas, but the staff here is fantastic!!! I lost my notebook and everyone there was so helpful. From all the staff who asked me what was wrong, to the woman who took down my name to the other who called me to let me know she had found it. It was a dumb little that that mattered to no one but me, but everyone went out of their way to help me find it. Thank you… give those folks a raise!!!

While well-​stocked, it is absolutely impossible to find anything in this cluttered, disorganized store. I asked an attendant if they had a store map and he looked at me like I asked him for a banana.
Any store that has many thousands of sq ft of shelf space, and «departments» sliced up that small needs to have a map (people who live outside cities will probably not know what I’m all chafed up about).

Can’t help but think of the Broad City episode and Click whenever I pass by this place, we finally stopped in with the ubiquitous coupons for a household necessity that seemed cheaper than Amazon. Pretty painless.

I rang in the new year with the usual participants: myself, Genevieve, Genevieve’s cat, Smitten, Raquel (who always smells like pâté), Raquel’s husband Jacque, an uninspiring flute player, and a couple of the newer members of our book club. A few of the newer members decided to have one too many glasses of mulled wine and contributed very little to our discussion of «Rousseau in 2016.» Overall, though, it was a pleasant time, and thankfully Jacque forgot his flute at home. Every New Year his attempt at Symphony #9 causes Genevieve and I to run to the kitchen and make loud and obscene vomiting gestures.
The morning after new years I traditionally crack open the seal for the year’s Farmer’s Almanac. This is where I get all my forecasts for the year and I was alarmed to hear how brisk the oncoming winter is predicted to be. I called up Genevieve to accompany me in purchasing a new comforter and, unfortunately, she was too busy making chia pudding with Smitten. She insisted that I travel to the Bed Bath and Beyond in Flatiron. «It’s the best place in New York City to nap,» she proclaimed. Although, I simply took that as a sign that they have a wide-​selection of comforters.
I arrived at the store at around noon. On my way to the bedding section I had to pass through aisles and aisles of mindless products. It took me two escalators to finally get to the bedding department and after looking around for ten minutes I was unenthused by the comforters on display.
I started to make my way out of the premises when an employee, with a nametag that read Ralph «KING SIZE» Hernandez, tracked me down. «Whatchu looking for bro? I got whatchu need to make ya feel good.» I gasped; I could not believe an employee was soliciting me with illegal drugs. «No, no, no bro, you got it all twisted. I can show you some great comforters. I got 100% down, imports from Egypt, duvet covers hand-​sewn by women from an endangered Native American tribe,» Ralph explained to me.
Ralph took me to a back closet that opened into a display for some exquisite bedding items. My mind could not believe what my eyes were seeing. Ralph informed me that, «The purpose of the secret room is to catch the customers who are smart enough to realize that Bed Bath and Beyond’s selection has nothing actually worth purchasing.» An interesting business model and one I could ultimately not support.
²⁄₅ The black market for bedding runs deeper then I ever would have imagined
Your frigid critic,

My only complaint about this BBB is the checkout line. There is no system and it gets really crowded. There are definitely not enough checkout lanes for such a huge store. I also think there are too many express lanes. Most people have more than 5 items! I wouldn’t go to BBB just to get 5 or less items. Other than that, the store has a lot of useful items and prices are alright.

This is a good location but very crowded. Since I live uptown, I wouldn’t normally choose to visit the Flatiron store, but if down there it’s convenient. And it’s part of a complex with a few other stores, which is nice.
The service is good but you do get bumped and shoved some. It’s no one’s fault, just a matter of too many people in too small a space.
Never go to BBB on a weekend, though, particularly if you need to return or exchange something. Some brain trust decided that ALL returns (not just refunds but exchanges too) must be handled separately at customer service. So you have to stand in two lines. It is a moronic system and I am convinced that they staff the customer service desk with trainees. The cashiers are all terrific. So basically, BBB makes it easy to buy stuff, but very painful to return it. This cannot be an accident.

This is my favorite BBB in the city and it recently got better! I feel like if you live in the city you end up furnishing most of your apt with many visits to BBB. This location is always well stocked, the staff is super helpful in navigating the maze of products, and now you can pick up your favorite World Market foods. I’m not sure if BBB owns WM but after the WM moved in next door they BBB started carrying their snacks and drinks. If you’re unfamiliar with World Market food, then I recommend swinging by and checking it out.

I really really try to avoid coming into this store because god forbid you need assistance you will be here for a while. If i do go it is because I have already checked online for exactly what i need and go straight in there for that particular item. So many employees here and still for some reason it seems like no one knows where anything is or are not sure if they even have it. I went this past Saturday because i had to and asked three different employees for an item and all three gave me different answers until I reached the fourth one and they basically told me I’m sorry we do not carry this in store.

This place is huge! The lack of signs is annoying. I can’t find anything in here but where to exit and check out. It’s nice that you want to close the deal on purchases but I can’t really purchase something if I can’t find what I’m looking for. Thankfully, there is staff throughout the whole store and you can ask them for assistance.

I am not a housewares person. Usually, when I need to get something for my place, I know what I want, get it, and get out of the store. In this store, however, I actually like to wander around. I am easily distracted and wind up checking all the neat stuff they have.
And the stuff here is neat: cookware, coffee makers, coffee, linens, decorations, food, snacks, electronics, and I can go on and on. The products are usually high quality, and well-​priced. And Bed, Bath & Beyond is always giving out coupons. If you get a coupon circular in the mail or a newspaper, save it!
This store is HUGE. It is very easy to get overwhelmed. But don’t worry. The people who work here are friendly and helpful. Checking out has also been pretty quick, even on busy days.

This is the place to find everything and anything needed for your home from
Kitchen to bathroom! I could spend all day and a lot of money in this shop, I come here for toiletries as I find they have a great selection and you can get some great deals here, I also buy glassware and bathroom accessories as they have a vAriety of colours to glam up your décor! You can find any kitchen gadget here too like the spiraliser, the only problem is I always have to queue for a long time so only come if you need to buy a good amount worth wait

Since I’ve moved into my apartment, I have probably been to this Bed, Bath and Beyond 10 times each time I come up with a list of things I need. And believe me, they have everything (except mouse traps-​gotta be prepared in NYC). The store is clean and the staff is helpful. I was expecting there to be a long line at the check out but there surprisingly wasn’t.
Tip: You can use expired Bed Bath and Beyond coupons at any time, so don’t throw them away!

I like popping in here during my lunch break and perusing the kitchen supplies. They have so many varieties of everything. However, I went this week looking for ramekins and they were out, much to my chagrin. Customer service is sufficient. They ordered them for me and they said it’d take 2 days to arrive. I went back and bought them, along with some other kitchen basics (measuring spoons, bowls, plates), using my handy-​dandy 20% off coupon that came in the mail that never expires.
There’s also a suspicious food section that seems to only have Asian items. Odd, I say.

In NYC this is my fav BBB. I like the way its set up. Spacious and a good selection of items. The store employees are efficient. The huge clearance section is also a big plus for me. Who doesn’t love a deal?!
FYI…The 20% off coupons never expire despite the date on it. :)

Really hard to navigate the windy aisles and figure out the layout… but I won’t blame them, they are located in the middle of NYC so I get it.
There are a bagillion salespeople walking around to help you, I got lost somewhere between the drapes and the pillow section looking for the exit, and my look of panic caught the attention of a sales person who helped me find the register.
(FYI Bedding and drapery etc is downstairs, upstairs is kitchen, closet and like rows and rows of… candles??)
Very well stoked, everything I needed they had, the only issue was when checking out it took a long time, like there were a buncha people at the register but they were all «closed». Eh?

My bf bought the Philips sonic care diamond clean tooth brush for me from here as gift. It’s the best one in the market. It’s a lovely pink, cost around 200 dollars. It totally changed the experience of brushing my teeth. I love it !!! Love it !!! Store is great too among all other home department store. Great selection of choices from this store. Love it

Like Ikea, this too is a playground for adults. You can buy almost everything for your home here. And to my surprise, they even sell food here. I came here a couple of days ago to pick up a new mop and I walked out with more than just that. I walked around the whole store to explore and later walked out with a new towel and a new Brita. I’ll definitely be back here when I need anything for my home. Or whenever I’m bored in the area.

This two story store is fun to just walk around and browse for your home enhancement needs. It’s also is our wedding registry store.
While it’s tight quarters especially when crowded, they have everything you could want and it’s pretty well organized and easy to find.
Customer service is good too!
We were unable to attend a «complete your registry» event (which would have been 20% off for us) but they said they would give us the discount anyways! Yay!!!
Also for boxed or heavy items, on the way out they have a machine that puts handles on them making it easier to transport them home. Of course if you don’t want to walk heavy boxes home, they will deliver in Manhattan for a $ 15 flat charge (worth it if you are buying a lot. Eg building your dorm)
