Yelp.com Review - by Zack F.

4.0 of 5 stars. Most everything has been said already. This is a friendly shop with a lot to offer. As their saying goes: "Not just beads!" But if you are looking for beads, they have a HUGE selection. This is one of...

Mean people suck

I totally agree with some of the comments about the staff. They never come down out of their space behind the counter to help, rarely smile, and the store never has sales. I go out of my way to avoid...

4.0 of 5 stars. It's no secret that I love places like this. Byzantium is one of the places I honestly avoid going to because I always end up coming home with an absurd amount of stuff that is all too pretty to use....

Yelp.com Review - by Matthew B.

3.0 of 5 stars. Caveat: I've only ever bought little ziploc baggies here, to organize board game tokens. I'm not a beader or even a crafter, but if I was, this would be the only shop I'd need. The selection here is...

Shopkeep was Rude

It is too bad that this store has piss-poor customer service. I want to support local business, but I will probably purchase beads from nice people next time.

Nice beads and mean people.

We had just purchased $30 worth of beads when we discovered that one of the beads was not the one we wanted. We asked to switch it with a different one (about 40 seconds after completing our purchase)...
