“I love the fact that Burlington is a blend of both metropolitan and suburban neighborhoods within vibrant communities. I’ve traveled via public transportation and I was able to have an option either by Go bus, train or taxi/Uber. I had a chance to see the water front, trails and parks. I’d love to stay in Burlington, within a quiet neighborhood, while I could still enjoy the basic services of banks, schools, community centres and churches.”
“?

I recommend it, super clean and organized, there are also things for the house, the kitchen, the bathroom, at convenient prices. I'll be back soon ? Happy client.”
“Wednesday turns out to be senior discount day so that was quite fortuitous. There's lots of parking, the store is large with very friendly people ready to help. There's dressing rooms, rest rooms - all clean and easily found.”
“This branch in Queens is far less crowded compared to other areas. It’s already Friday evening, and the store is empty. Most of the items are well-maintained, and the staff is always in a good mood. I always love to come here whenever we’re buying something for our home.”
“Love this store I go crazy in here they definitely showcase new products and display it well. I always come out with a full shopping cart, staff is friendly at the register.”
“I just want to take the time to say thank you to Natalie in the dress department. She found me not 1, not 2, but 10 beautiful dresses to choose from. She went above and beyond to help me find the perfect dress that matches my taste and she made amazing recommendations, two of which I purchased. I haven’t experienced customer service like this in awhile. Thank you so much for all your help, I truly appreciate it.”
“I absolutely love this HomeGoods! The employees are incredibly helpful, kind, and welcoming. I shop here at least once a week, and I can't say enough about how pleased I am with the customer service. Claudia is truly top-notch! She is professional, thoughtful, and always keeps her word. She remembered that I was looking for specific storage boxes and let me know when new ones arrived. When I came back the next day, she had pulled out the most gorgeous storage boxes I've ever seen at the Bayside HomeGoods. She went above and beyond by showing me all the new arrivals, and I ended up buying every one she recommended! When I got home, I was so excited to organize everything. The storage boxes fit all of my pants and shirts perfectly and made everything look so neat and beautiful. This is hands down the BEST HomeGoods in Bayside! The team truly cares about their customers and knows their inventory better than any other HomeGoods I've visited. Thank you to Claudia and the entire HomeGoods team for always taking such great care of your customers. I'll definitely keep coming back for all the unique and amazing finds! 😊”
“I love shopping here. The prices here are very reasonable. If you are looking for toiletries, candy, electronics, perfume, this is a great place to shop. Friendly staff.”
“This store has a huge variety of items, including household essentials like curtains, mats, rugs, pillows, and kitchen supplies. They also carry clothing for both men and women, toys for younger kids, snacks, and a great amount of seasonal decorations. Their holiday section is always well-stocked, especially during Christmas — trees, lights, ornaments, and a lot of festive displays. Prices are very affordable, but the quality can be hit or miss. Some items are decent for the price, while others feel cheap or misleading. One issue is that the store sometimes displays high-quality decorations, but the boxed version next to it is not the same product — it’s a cheaper variation. It’s easy to assume you’re buying what you see, so always double-check. There are plenty of outlets around the store, and the staff usually allows you to test lights or open certain items. When in doubt, ask an associate before buying. The store can get extremely crowded, and the aisles are small, which makes shopping a bit stressful during busy times. Another downside is the loss prevention process at the exit. The worker by the front door often checks bags and receipts even if you’re simply carrying multiple shopping bags. Most of the time, all they do is highlight the date on your receipt, but you still end up waiting in a line just to leave — especially frustrating when the store is already packed. It can feel unnecessary and a little annoying. Overall, the store has good variety, friendly staff inside, and great seasonal deals, but be prepared for crowds, inconsistent product quality, and slow, inconvenient checkout at the exit”
“Ample parking and great selection. Seasonal goods are well organized. This location has a huge variety of home decor . The store is kept clean and displays are very pretty”
“I have been shopping there since the store opened on Jamaica Ave, great bargain and you’re able to find everything for your everyday needs. My favorite part is the household section. I love to browse that entire floor, guaranteed l am coming home with something. The staff are great as well.”
“I had such a wonderful experience buying a Cartier Watch at the Cosmos Department store. This is the 3rd time I have bought a Cartier watch from this place, and I’m thinking of buying another one. There are many benefits to buying a Cartier watch from Cosmos. Even though I live in NJ, I love coming to the Flushing store because of the great service and staff.”
“Made a return. The associate was great. The customer ahead of me was evil, but she never allowed it to trigger her. Store was well kept. The perfume associates are overbearing... find me making a long walk around to avoid them.”
“I love Target! But I must say this is my favorite location. I can be here for hours! It is huge and as someone that loves home decorating this location has it all!! Excellent selection of everything you're looking for, great value for your money and I haven't encountered an employee whom wasn't approachable nor friendly. If you're also a Queens resident, the drive is worth it as parking is plentiful and it is the best stocked store!”
“Great store, most of the staff were nice, Extremely well maintained bathroom. But there was this one member of the macys team her name was Nancy and she was extremely rude and forceful and there was this old guy working with her trying his best and she started yelling at him. I felt bad. Macys please take some action. Thanks !”
“Always a nice and neat store to visit which is usually fully stocked. They just need to go back to 5.00 or below because the price increases are outrageous. I can see maybe paying more than 5.00 for large items but pajamas were our favorite shopping experience when they were 5.00 and now many are 7.00 or 10.00, so we limit what we shop for sadly.”
“Great deals but very difficult to get help. One day I waited 40 minutes in the store for a van dutch bag. And this was 1030am . Asked the woman at the jewellery section for the bag. She completely ignored me . Talking on the cell phone . Had to get a manager to help me get the bag out the show case .”
“Christian did an amazing job helping my friend and I to get a new fragrance for our Pastor. He was very conversational, funny, patient, and knowledgeable about everything having to do with fragrances. He deserves a raise!!!”
“Raylene was very helpful and assisted me with everything I needed. She was friendly, attentive, and made the whole process easy. Overall, I had a great experience speaking with her and really appreciated her help.”
“This is hands down the best Five Below location! The store is always clean, organized, and fully stocked, making every shopping trip enjoyable. The customer service here is truly exceptional. The store manager is absolutely amazing—so friendly, welcoming, and always makes sure my daughters and I leave happy. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and their team. I also have to give a special shoutout to Lizzie! She is such a sweetheart and is always so kind to my girls. We’re in Five Below pretty often, and every single time she sees us, she greets us with a smile and checks in to see if we need help finding anything. It’s employees like her who make us want to keep coming back. The entire staff deserves recognition for providing outstanding customer service. They’re always patient, helpful, and professional, even when dealing with difficult situations. I’ve unfortunately witnessed customers being aggressive toward employees over something as simple as Squishys, and I truly don’t understand it. The Five Below team handles these situations with grace and kindness. It’s free to be kind, and these employees absolutely deserve the same respect they show every customer. Thank you to the entire team for always making my family’s shopping experience such a positive one. Keep up the amazing work!”
“The employees at TJ Maxx are very helpful and polite, which I really appreciate. However, the store was extremely packed due to the Christmas season. There were only three cashiers working, and the checkout line was very long. Many customers had to wait around 20 minutes to pay. During the holiday season, the store really needs to schedule more staff at the registers to manage the crowd better. The perfume section was disappointing. Many bottles were already opened but still priced the same. There were only 4–5 brands in the aisle, so not many options. If a perfume is opened or used, the price should be reduced, and they should add more variety.”
“This place is awesome there are tons of stuff that you’d find pretty useful, for example sports equipment I’m a pretty sporty guy myself and if I didn’t have a football I’d just come here to buy it I like how it’s not so far so I can get the essentials quick. I also like this place cause they sell pokemon here I just like collecting the cards I am not one of those scalping losers that always take them all. This place is reliable, quick and big. I like what I see good job target, good job. ?”
“I happen to like this Kohl's department store in Fresh Meadows it is clean but not fully staffed and it should be I use it to purchase gifts and apparel for my family or myself 💝”
“Make sure your VA ID is up to date. They denied me as a service connected combat veteran with 100% disability rating and life membership in the vfw and Marine Corps league. I ate lead in fallujah Iraq to be denied uniform items at the navy exchange whiskey tango foxtrot”
“I bought a couch here which had the wrong size feet attached to it. The store manager was so helpful and apologetic and generously offered to refund us some money back for the inconvenience. Incredibly kind.”
“I some how always find items Iam looking for, and unexpected ones ??for family and friends.Fitness, leisure and office attire to casual wear.

“When walking into the store I was lost and was even directed to the wrong isle when looking for a new drainer, by two employees!!! Very Frustrating! But when I was about to leave Isabella had been very kind and walked me over to the right isle she was really respectful and nice definitely a great employee. She helped me find exactly what I was looking for. I even wanted a suitcase from a top shelf and she helped me get exactly what I needed for my trip to Japan. My experience there was quick with her help and I got everything I needed. Definitely coming again if service like that is maintained of course. She even was my cashier and helped me check out my products. Fantastic service!!!”
“Happened to be nearby so I stop by first time in this location. I found store well maintained, found number of good quality household items so I was happy. Other than that, it is typical Marshall store - sometimes they have a good selection, sometimes they don't.”
“Love shopping here!! I have found sonetimes here clothes that are in style with good 👍 prices! Normally the lines aren't too much long or crowded neither as tonight. You can find it all here. Highly recommended 👌!!”
