Joe Fresh

I was parting ways with my friend in the neighborhood, and he pointed out Joe Fresh to me as a place I might like, and he intriguingly added, «They’re Canadian.» Well, that settles that.
The store was neatly organized, roomy, and not too crowded with fellow shoppers. The men’s section was dwarfed by the women’s section. All the clothes were like a less expensive Banana Republic (think opposite of Topshop) but without the folksy feel of Old Navy. There were some killer sales going on, and I ended up picking out a sweater for a mere $ 15. Due to the prices, don’t go expecting amazing quality. I wore the sweater once, and it ended up with tons of wrinkles. Huh. But whatev, the sweater was only 15 bucks! Sweet!
The woman ringing me up was on her smartphone for the majority of my transaction. Way to make the customer feel important. Then she gave me my non-​bulky sweater in an enormous blindingly orange bag that I had to drag around Manhattan the rest of the day, being careful not to bump everyone I passed. Don’t they have any smaller bags???
In sum, I would come again for the cheap duds, I’d use my own bag, and I would not expect much attention from the checkout staff.

The baby’s clothes are cute and reasonable but shrink a whole size after one wash, even in cold water. You’re better off spending more and buying baby clothes elsewhere. Gap is good.

Stopped by and see why no one was shop here.
The sale that they advertised as 50% are scattered through out the store. I picked up lot of items that turn out to be full price.
Also you can’t return sale items… Wrong move, joe

I rarely stop by this location, but I do remember that when I was here for the first time, I gasped at the prices for the sequined skirts in awe of how affordable they were! It is much smaller than the other Joe Fresh locations and unfortunately I have not been able to find anything to buy at this location. When the 34^th Street location has additional discounts, this one doesn’t. Sadly, I usually walk out of this location empty-​handed.

I love this location — so convenient off the Path station. They have deep markdowns and the staff is always ready to help unlike the Midtown store which is a messy tourist trap.

This location never ceases to amaze me. Their sales aren’t the best but it’s reasonable for the area.
I was able to purchase a pair of faux leather skinny pants, casual slacks, and a few tops resulting in only a $ 40 charge! Not bad at all.

This is probably my favorite store for casual clothing in NYC. This past weekend I visited and walked away with a couple of nice sweaters that I managed to get for $ 15.00 apiece. The quality and price can not be beat.

When we asked about a particular item, the sales person (who we later learned was the manager) pointed us to something on a rack that had a prominent sign «30% Off». When we took the item to the register a while later, the person there PROACTIVELY asked us if we realized that item was not on sale. I say proactively, because that clearly indicates he knew that people were assuming or had assumed it was included as a sale item. The 30% Off sign apparently said, in small writing of course, «Outwear Excluded». This was a small free standing rack, maybe about 4′ long.
When we commented on this, the manager, who was standing right there, said he understood our complaint, but that he would have to talk to the Visual department before making any changes.
False advertising, plain and simple.

I really like this store for the friendly customer service and the great deals. On the clearance rack I purchased a peek-​a-​boo white t-​shirt that was on sale for $ 5 and at the register I received another discount so the whole purchase was $ 3.50. Really! In New York City!

The spacious store is good for getting modern basic clothes at very affordable prices. They also have sales quite often, so make sure to sign up for their newsletter. I was able to get an 100% cashmere sweater for around $ 50 and the quality is pretty good. I usually shop here for their tees which are good quality for around $ 10 and they last for around a year before I have to chuck them. Although the white shirts are like single use because I always manage to drop something on them.

Relatively new to the area, Joe Fresh provides hipster-​style clothing at insanely affordable prices. Their flagship store on Fifth Avenue is spacious and inviting, carrying a large variety of brightly colored vestments for both men and women. My only (minor) complaint is the relatively small selection of menswear compared to the women’s, though I did find everything I needed on my end. The staff is wonderful, courteous, and more than happy to help you with your fashion needs — special shout to Kristen, Elisa, Cita, and Anthony! With their assistance (and patience), I was able to procure two polo shirts, a pair of chinos and jeans for just over $ 80. Despite my love affair with food, everything fit perfectly.
With the summer season on the horizon, the need for bright colors and casual style might lead you to the doorstep of Joe Fresh.

I like this store a lot and hope it expands to the west coast. Or maybe I don’t want it to spread so I can wear cool things that my folks in the west haven’t seen/can’t get. Just kidding – I don’t care. But this Canadian based company definitely sells some fashionable/​quality product and worth your while to check out.
I was really interested in this jacket with a $ 180 price tag. I asked an employee if he thought it was worth buying. He pointed out to me that there was a 30% off sign and it was likely on sale. If he didn’t point that out, I would’ve not bought this amazing jacket I now own. Thanks to whoever that was.
I highly recommend coming here! I can’t wait to check out the bigger store in Times Square.

This is probably the friendliest store I’ve ever been to. To every section I went, I was greeted by someone and asked if I need any help. I mean, it’s both good and bad because sometimes I just want to look around, but it’s nice to know that I don’t need to go search for someone to help me out with a size or to reach something for me at the top shelf.
For being a store in SoHo, this place is not cramped. I found that most stores in SoHo are very claustrophobic even it’s not busy. Their fitting rooms are also huge and very well lit. It’s easy to see what you’re trying on.
Another great store in the East coast with good price points. The quality of their clothes are pretty well made. I regret not shopping for more here. They also have a wall of nail polishes that’s always fun to go through.

The SO introduced me to this spot, since I clearly don’t follow fashion (fashion follows me – HEYO!). The colors and patterns are bolder options than what most similar stores offer dudes, but the selection is minuscule. I’d give it a 3.5 but I did walk out with a cool red-​orange set of shorts, so 4 it is.

I appreciate Joe Fresh coming down from Canada to grace us with its presence.
Basic t-​shirts in multiple colors. Same for pants and the $ 39 silk blouse. Same for the sandals too (come in Summer). And then there are prints and other items that break free of the basic.
Of special note for women — they sell bathing suits (one piece and two piece) that actually fit. And you can buy bottoms in one size and top in another. The last bottoms I bought were $ 12.
And…the wristlets are awesome. $ 6 in a variety of colors. I own 3 and have given them to each of my friends who all rave that the fabric is stretchy and can fit SO much. It’s like an optical illusion what goes into that small thing.
All in all, when shopping in that area, I always make it a point to stop in. I don’t always buy, but it’s worth a look!
Just one note — if you are a returner, I think their policy is 14 days.

Maybe I went in here with the wrong mentality, but I was looking for passion and ended up knee-​deep in vanilla basics. Now there is a place in my wardrobe for staples, but I found the fit of various dresses, skirts and blouses to be a bit shapeless. I’m sure a few nips from the tailor would solve the potato sack issue, but then that defeats the purpose of low price shopping, right?
What I did like: The store is sparely designed, without the overstuffed racks that make a certain similar outpost (HandEM, cough) overwhelmingly hectic. And the associates were quite nice, helping me find a cobalt blue eyeshadow and violet eyeliner that layered, made my eyes look super green ($ 4 and $ 6, respectively). But, being that I’m somewhat well-​stocked in the summer basics department, I’ll likely continue battling the fashion forward set at H+M for clothing that more closely suits my style. However, winter staples are an entirely different story. When the time comes to stockpile tights, leggings, sweaters and the like, I’ll be first in line.
Stay fresh, J-​yo.

Being that most of my belongings are still being driven across the United States of America (at last check in, my movers were passing through Topeka, Kansas) and I merely packed a small duffel bag of garments to wear once landing in New York, my closet have consisted of daily trips to American Apparel, H&M, and this here lovely shopping destination just steps from my office. At the rate I’m going with making purchases every-​other-​day, I just might consider changing my name from Ruggy to Joseph Fresh Jr. I’m certain I’m single-​handily padding his children’s college fund one credit card swipe at a time.
Ol’ Joe caters mostly to women, but like certain Forever 21 outposts, there’s a small, yet impressive selection of men’s wears as well. Sports coats, lightweight jackets, boat shoes, v-​neck tees, pullovers, etc… And at prices that make H&M look like John Varvados, it’s right up my all for fashion on a budget.
If they bolstered their men’s line of attire, I’m sure this would be a fiver without question. Looking forward to seeing what the impending sticky summer months brings!

Do you like cheap clothes that don’t come from H&M or Forever 21? Enter in Joe Fresh. Sh*t is cheeeappp and cute and isn’t horrible quality. Score one for the home team. The model is they bring in many different varieties of clothing usually in the same few colors and then in a month or so they bring in something new. It is always keeping you coming back for more but, it does suck when you are looking for another pair of those AWESOME $ 14 leggings you bought a few months ago and they are no where to be found.
The clothing is hit or miss — some items are great — imagine basics (collared shirts, leggings, sweaters, workout gear, bathing suits, jeggings) and some items I would never be caught dead wearing (some funky Euro stuff) but, I do love me my purple and red tights that were $ 4 each, my $ 14 navy leggings, and my $ 29 collared shirt. I hate to be a price dropper but c’mon now, these prices are pretty awesome for some good quality items.
Did I mention this place is like 100 feet of my office? ‘Cause it is. Trouble.

Dear Joe,
I’m glad you’ve moved in to the neighborhood. You are a great boyfriend. Convenient, accessible, comfortable, affordable, and you know exactly what I need.
What do I need?
*$ 9 leggings
*$ 6 tights
*workout gear galore

*$ 5 tees
*$ 49 gray puffy parka

Yes.thank you, boyfriend Joe Fresh. I know we’ve only been dating for a few months, but truly… I just can’t quit you.
Love,
Colleen C

Don’t be fooled by the displays, this place is VERY affordable and you can easily walk away with a bag of loot for bargain prices. Some is a bit more pricey. Much higher quality than H&M/F21 and 100x less chaotic. I never feel like I’m sifting through a garage sale or a raver’s rummage sale.
I consider this my «grown ass woman» Forever 21, one that doesn’t give me a panic attack or a body complex.
All orange sticker sale are final sales, so def try them on.

Colleen C: «By the way, I need to take you to this new store while you’re in town called Joe Fresh.»
Me: «WHAT? Joe Fresh opened in NY? We need to go RIGHT NOW.»
Colleen C: «We’re running late for our work event.»
Me: «Can we go first thing in the morning when it opens up?»
Colleen C: «Yes, I promise.
Colleen stayed true to her promise and we were the first shoppers inside Joe Fresh this morning. I was super psyched because I’ve been itching to get to Canada just to do some shopping in this store, which happens to be located in super markets. And now I’ve got one in my very own country. Hooray!
You won’t find the NY Joe Fresh in supermarkets, but they’ve got the same cute, affordable clothes. H&M prices, but J Crew quality. Basically it doesn’t fall apart after a few washes. It’s the perfect place to shop for all the basics in your closet– leggings, hoodies, sweaters and I even scored a $ 19 pair of perfect fitting jeans today. That deserves another hooray.
The sales associates were super helpful here and didn’t seem to mind that I asked them a million times to bring me different sizes to my dressing room. They’ve got a solid collection of womens and mens clothing, but I was a bit disappointed that they don’t have baby clothing in this location yet. One of the sales associates told me I could find baby clothing in their New Jersey store, but I’m more likely to make my way to Canada in the near future.
