Esmeralda is extremely friendly and helpful! She has a large selection of bead work that is completed and for crafting on ones own. The place is filled with colors and a good vibe. Very welcoming and affordable! And on Saturdays, there is free beading class with a signature themed project each week (you pay for the supplies you select). I love this place and absolutely adore the owner. I stop in whenever I can. Check this place out; its pure magic how welcoming and calming this place is.

I’m so glad to have learned about A Better Place to Bead. My husband and I have beaded necklaces, and both of them had clasp issues. They have been repaired beautifully, just like new! We are so very grateful because the necklaces have tremendous sentimental value, and we had been afraid of losing them. The store also has a large selection of beaded jewelry that would make great gifts, so I'll definitely be back.

Nice assortment and varieties of beads and accessories for making your own jewelry. If you are shopping for one-of-a-kind pierced earrings or necklaces, you can find some nice limited selections. Prices are reasonable and the proprietor is friendly, helpful and will make informed suggestions when you want advise on what to select.

I read snooty and I agree! The owner definitely forms an opinion of whether she likes you or not the moment you walk in. I also don't think she likes repair work. She likes beading and selling beads. She is uninterested and unhelpful when it comes to repairs. I was so excited when this business relocated to its current location but I have no interest in returning. I also took some pendants I brought to her to help make cords for wearing them. When I picked them up, the first one broke at her shop. Shoddy work. Not a person who should be in public facing retail. Or at least update your business format and remove jewelry repair.

I've been taking my kids and visiting this feed store for many years in Davis. It's so convenient to visit their new location on Covell next to Nugget market whenever I do the grocery shopping.The owner is extremely helpful and very friendly. My daughter and I have taken the free classes they offer on Saturdays and learned how to wire wrap jewelry.They offer birthday parties too which sounds like a lot of fun.

This is a wonderful store. My kids and I have been going to it for years. The new location is great, right by Nugget grocery store on Covell. We love that they currently have beautiful succulents there. They offer free jewelry making classes, handmade jewelry and of course many beads and jewelry making supplies at good prices. I saw a sign saying they host birthday parties as well, how fun. The owner is very friendly and helpful. You can bring your broken jewelry in and get help in figuring out how to fix it or remake it. They have a lot of great pictures on their Instagram profile.

PAY WITH CASH!!! Pay with cash because this woman literally tipped herself when she thought i was looking away & when i asked her where I could tip she started stuttering But the jewelry itself is literally so cute! it very obviously is all made in china/ cheap looking but I think my little sister would love it!! I recommend this store for beginners like me, just watch out for the self tipper

Snooty, unpleasant staff. Store has assorted of cords on the wall at the cash register but staff failed to point them out to me when I asked. She appears to be helpful selectively. I felt unwelcome. I like to support small businesses but this kind of encounter forces me to return to Michaels and Hobby Lobby.

Our granddaughter had her seventh birthday party at "A enter Place To Bead". With 9 girls seven year old girls there was every chance for confusion but the owner did a wonderful job setting up an area for the girls to make beaded bracelets and necklaces. Great shop with lots of variety. Go check it out.

It is such a delight to walk into a store and say, “could you help me with….[fill in the blank]…” and the kind, attentive storekeeper helps you with every possible thing!!Size 12 needles? Check.Size 11 beads? Check + a great selection!Silver necklace chain? Check + a tape measure for you to gauge the length.Connector-thingie for a pendant? Check + she’ll affix it to the pendant for you.My only wish is that they carried more silver threader earring whatchamacallits. *Sigh*
