Bless the people who run this adorable store! I love the store and always come by when I’m visiting friends in the neighborhood. Today I got a bit overheated and suddenly got sick in the store and they were SO sweet and helpful and they handled it so well. If I didn’t already love the place, I would even more now!

This shop is SO cute, and worth stopping in if you're out and about. The space is very clean and well organized, the music playing isn't overwhelming and although the space is small, it does not feel crowded.
My husband and I stopped in one evening and there were quite a few others in the shop too, but we never felt rushed or like people were on top of us.
The staff was wonderful to interact with, very chill vibes, kind, great to answer questions.
We were lucky enough to stop in during a time where everything in store was 20% off. I got quite a few little items to bring home.
There is a loyalty program, and that's always a bonus.
Store is super LGBTQ+ friendly, which we always love to support.
When it comes to pricing, keep in mind that this is a local boutique store. You're going to find things you can't find anywhere else. That being said, some of the items were really overpriced for the products/quality they were, and some weren't. Look at it as a fun little treasure hunt.
I will definitely be returning in the future!

I absolutely love this place! I came here for the first time last week and i left with a couple cute goodies. Such a great little shop! I got the cutest “Queens” hat and aromatherapy spray. They were very welcoming and helpful, i cannot wait to go back :)

I LOVE THIS PLACE ! The store has lots of cute and unique items. For me personally, I’d rather buy someone 1-2 quality items from The Brass Owl that are personal and unique, than a bunch of junk from a big-box store. Always my go-to store for gifts and things for myself haha. Sarah is so nice and helpful when I stop by! Whenever I go and she’s there, I know I’m going to have an even better time shopping!

This is such a gem in the neighborhood, and I hope they stay open forever! They’re the perfect place to shop for gifts when you don’t really know what you’re looking for.

Very cute spot with lots of random things to choose from. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I ended up leaving with way more items than I thought I would and was very happy about it. I highly recommend trying out some of the candles, as they smell great and are long lasting. My favorite was from Almonte Studio & Paige’s Candle Co(:

Unique, vital shop in the Ditmars area in Astoria. Outstanding variety of products including clothing, accessories, books, jewelry. Their crucial role includesspearheading community projects such as Shop Small Business Astoria for Winter Holidays and most recently Spring. They have terrific sales. Their products are extremely well made. Staff is extremely helpful and they welcome conversation. Brass Owl is an oasis in what can be trying troublesome times.
