Front General Store in DUMBO is a charming shop and a favorite shopping destination, described as a treasure trove and the best vintage shop. It offers a carefully curated selection of unique vintage garments, accessories, and menswear, alongside imported artisanal soaps, limited kitchenware, jewelry, home goods, and lifestyle knickknacks. The store has a warm, inviting atmosphere and a well-thought-out layout, making browsing a delight. The inventory is seen as a medium-sized collection of handpicked items that blend classic styles with contemporary flair.
Many reviewers find the products amazing, unique, and one-of-a-kind, perfect for finding a standout piece. However, multiple notes mention high or extremely overpriced prices, though one states they are expensive but fair for the value provided. The store is recommended for vintage enthusiasts or those looking for specific, high-caliber vintage clothing, saving time compared to messier thrift stores. It is considered a great place for smaller gifts, but a warning is given about an abysmal return policy, advising against buying gifts for others here. The vibrant DUMBO location adds to the charm, making a visit feel special. Some advise that while fun to browse, the selection may feel limited to some, and a specific note suggests not going upstairs.
Decent selection of clothing but incredibly disappointing customer service. Rude and arrogant staff. It feels like they left all their politeness back in Japan.

Used to be great. But the staff has gotten ruder of that's even possible! Look at the other reviews. It's it that hard to be kind to people? I'm not going back after my last experience and the drama with the staff.

Cool yet overpriced vintage outshined by their extremely poor services.
