Measure Twice — Local services in New York

(Spoiler: A true gem- just go in!) Recently moved to the neighborhood, and was drawn spontaneously from the street side by the beautiful displays and joyful pop of yellow on the storefront. I got even more excited realizing I have a local stationery store! I've visited 4-5 times since.

I've always felt at home and loved the experience of walking through stationery stores. You feel no rush, and the owners are available if you need them to answer any questions. A super friendly bunch, that offer a laugh and a kind smile.

This summer I started using their fountain pens and they've helped me learn how to properly care for them including refills etc etc. My fiancé even has his own now.

Even at a time of personal loss- this store provides a splash of joy, color, and spark that is contagious. Just go in, take your time, and explore the curated array. Send a card to someone you love, or get something...

Review of Measure Twice, Brooklyn

Measure Twice is an absolute dream. The curation and selection are top of the line—thoughtful, unique, and beautifully chosen. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or looking for the perfect gift, there’s something for everyone. From artful home goods to carefully sourced accessories and cool little finds, it’s the kind of shop that makes you want to take your time exploring every corner.

What makes it even more special are the owners, Kimberley and Zach. They’re not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely warm and welcoming, making every visit feel personal. You can tell they put so much heart into the shop, and it shows in the selection and the atmosphere. Plus, shopping here means supporting a fantastic local business—one that truly adds something special to the Brooklyn retail scene....

Zero Stars! Ive been shopping here for a long time. Any occasion I need a card I go here. No longer. The Manager (Kimberly?) called me an @ssh0le for no reason.

As I walked in she said "dude you need to put a mask on". I didn't have one so I turned around to leave with no objection at all. I never opened my mouth. As I was walking away she said "Fine, be an @ssh0le then".

I walked a few blocks to another establishment that sells cards and bought everything I needed there and will continue doing so in the future.

Her actions run counter to the company's stated mission of being a "good neighbor," "taking care in what you do," and being "thoughtful." I won't spend my money in this...
