Will SchollFebruary 16, 2016Staff is super friendly and knowledgable. Ask them all the questions. Be sure to visit the talking parrot, too.Upvoted Aug 24- Has everything you need to fix up your apartment and a great selection of plants if you're lucky enough to have outdoor space. Don't forget to say hi to the parrot and franklin the pig
Dan WissingerMay 2, 2017Great selection and helpful staff who are happy to refer you somewhere else if they don't have what you're looking for. Prices won't blow you away but they're fair
Bond StreetOctober 12, 2016"Get to know Harrison, the Macaw who chills in the garden center, or Franklin, the owner Joe Franquinha's pot-bellied pig who's posted in the backyard." - Foster Kamer, executive editor - Mental Floss Read more
Fuck Home Depot, this place is the way to go. The staff is amazing, they're always willing to help, and they're very understanding with stupid questions.
TomOctober 3, 2013The best hardware/garden store I've found in North Brooklyn. Much better & more friendly than the small spots in Greenpoint.
Madeline McDavidJanuary 31, 2016Nice collection of succulents in the greenhouse out back. Make sure to say hi to the African Grey Parrot, he even meows!- Obsessed ArtistMarch 14, 2011Best Hardware Store in America!! Stick around for the Crest Fest in June where tools take on new life, bicycles make you mixed drinks, and belvedere bcomes canvas. http://cresthardwareartshow.com/
Find myself wandering in here even when I don’t actually need something. Best staff, and so many lil plants.
I'm pretty sure that parrot had something disparaging to say about my mother one morning. However, I have no hard evidence.
Go say hi to Franklin the pig, usually found in his pen in the backyard garden!
Feel free to ask Crest employees about what you need- the funniest and most knowledgeble hardware stote employees I've ever met!
stuff is kinda over priced but it's the best hardware store in the Burg
