I love shopping here. Great denim and helpful sales associates. However, I would like see more size inclusivity.

I've been shopping at this small local owned boutique for several years now. All items are curated from a variety of different designers, some well known and others more obscure. Everything is high quality, lasts for years and is super cute. Definitely worth a trip in, even just to browse their latest offerings. They pack in some great event dresses, more casual wear, tops, sweaters, eclectic jewelry and more.

Placed an order for pickup and they had it available right away. Good quality and prices. Store itself is very cute.

Mint Julep and owners are so attentive and thoughtful. This boutique has long been a favorite of mine. Now that I live far away, I shop the website to enjoy the store's beautiful items. My most recent purchase was packed with tremendous care, wrapped beautifully, and extra little gifts were included as a surprise! I also got personal sizing advice and photos of the clothing I inquired about via Instagram. The final package included a personal note.

Mint Julep is an independent boutique that sells women's clothing and accessories. It stands out because of its unique curated picks. I highly recommend Mint Julep for its in season pieces and most of all, their pick of accessories from everything to jewelry to hair pins to keychains! Mint Julep also has sidewalk sales where independent designer pieces go on major sale, and if you purchase online, they ship to you with a free goodie such as a pair of earrings or a pair of hair clips.

A super cute boutique in Coolidge corner. They carry the same designers that you'd find at high end department stores like Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom. I found a dress I loved that was priced the same at Nordstrom, so i decided to support a small business instead for once. Really nice salespeople and a very clean store despite its small size. They have sidewalk sales once a year for all those that mentioned the steep prices. Love coming back here and finding cute dresses and tops on sale!

I found myself in Mint Julep today after months of seeing it and wondering what they carried. I'm so thrilled! I finally decided to go inside because I heard they'd be carrying a line that I like, and I come to find out that they carry several! I bought two simply GORGEOUS scarves that were actually priced lower than what I initially expected. A lot of the reviews of this place just do not do it justice! Let's clear it up. Is this boutique "too expensive"? NO! It's only too expensive if you're not familiar with the brands that it carries. These pieces are not overpriced or marked high beyond other retailers. Additionally, I saw at least one brand that's very hard to find in the US. The simple fact that I would be able to try on pieces from that brand without having to buy them up front and pay for shipping from Europe is a huge positive. Is the store "too cramped"? Hardly. It's a small store, but they have a very clean, beautiful layout. I was in there with two staff, a delivery guy, and probably four other shoppers, and I still had plenty room to be off in my own little world. I really enjoyed the ambiance of the store. Are the employees "rude and unfriendly"? Not at all!! My goodness. Quite the opposite. One woman behind the desk greeted me immediately and asked if I needed anything, another smiled at me, and I made conversation later (twice) and was met with receptive faces and eager replies both times. One of the women was less talkative, but she was busy and I wasn't talking with her directly. She did smile and look up and even laugh, though. She was far from rude. Basically, this is a lovely store, and you've probably got to be pretty rude yourself to think that the employees are rude. Additionally, if you're out of touch with the brands or the prices of pieces like what's carried at Mint Julep, you might think it's overpriced, but it's really not.

We're so lucky to have Mint Julep in Coolidge Corner. It's a great place to pick up glamorous, unique gifts for friends without having to traipse to a mall. They don't carry my size clothing (14) so I bypass their great selection of dresses, but that's okay. They have an ever-changing selection of nifty scarves, bags, jewelry, and other accessories. Some items are super-expensive, and some are just the right price-point for thoughtful birthday or hostess gifts. The styling of the store is lovely and always fresh. They also carry a line of sophisticated and fun rhinestone/glitter greeting cards that I have gotten lots of mileage out of.

Cute stuff but prices are way too high. There's no reason a simple fit & flare dress should be $168.

The store has nice, expensive clothes and offers a unforgettable shopping experience. If you would like to be utterly humiliated by being accused of stealing by an associate sitting behind the counter looking at her phone by all means go and shop there. By far the most humiliating experience of my life.

I've been shopping at Mint Julep since 2008 and have been the store's ultimate biggest fan! I can say unequivocally as a dress connoisseur, that they are the best dress shop around. Brooke and Steph, as well as their staff, are like having your own personal stylists. Every piece of clothing is hand picked with stylish precision and they offer a diverse selection of styles and price points. The environment is friendly and highly customer oriented. I can't express enough the top quality selection of clothing. They are "the" dress shop.

Things at this shop are bananas in pricing, but eeeevery so often I'll find myself totally drooling over an item I see in the shop window (I walk by daily). They had a blue dress there that was glorious, and I was in need of a solid blue dress to be a bridesmaid in a wedding. I figured I'd just poke in, but there's no way that the dress would be under $100. I was beyond excited to see that the dress was under $100. Which, I still think is a ghastly amount of money to pay for a dress, but I'd already gone to every TJMax Marshalls Macys etc in Boston, and was losing hope, and most items at Mint Julep are usually 2x as pricey. The dress was perfect, and I rationalized that since I would be getting a two-fer - a dress that functioned for the wedding and one that I could still wear to work/events - it was worthwhile. So I had a great success, but mostly I have disappointment, when I shop through Mint Julep, since they have beautiful clothes but I definitely don't make that kinda cash. They did have a top there recently that I investigated buying outside of the shop, but it was only available in France and was pretty much being sold at market rate at Mint Julep - sooooo it's not necessarily that they're the ones making the price hikes, just that they're buying rare clothes and that's the price you pay (literally) for rare clothes. Worth an occasional stop, but mostly a wistful glance. Unless you have boatloads of cash, in which case, go nuts.

I went in to Mint Julep today during their sale and waited for the dressing room for over 20 minutes. In a time crunch to catch a movie, I put a dress on hold and was told it would be there when I returned. An hour and a half later, they sold the dress I came back to buy to someone else. Not sure why they would put it on hold in the first place. I was disappointed and the sales associate actually gave me attitude and told me "you were gone longer than an hour" which I was never told of that policy, seemed like they were just trying to justify themselves or back peddle. Annoyed by not only not being able to buy the dress I waited for 20 minutes to try on and the actual attitude I received from the sales associate, I will not be returning to what was once a favorite neighborhood shop.
