Blue Tree

Charming boutique gift shop if you are in the market for high end clothing, jewellery and general novelty items. Expect everything from scented candles and fine crockery to color-changing umbrellas and playful socks. Note there’s no step-free access as it is below street level, so those with a wheelchair or stroller will need to navigate two steps down into the store. If you found my review or photos helpful please leave a quick thumbs up 👍 Thank you

It's a great store, with lots of original finds, I bought myself some things that you can't find in big box stores and even small stores, because the BLUE TREE is one of a kind. Thanks to Mrs. Phoebe Cates Kline, for her store. You have superb employees, friendly, and very attentive to all customers. I was at the BLUE TREE store on Saturday June 1, 2024.

Great experience at this wonderful boutique! Ivana and Amanda were incredibly helpful and kind. They were patient, understanding, and very pleasant to talk to, and the prices were very reasonable. I can't rave enough about this place and plan on returning whenever in NYC.

Read the reviews. Are you someone who doesn't check prices? Who really, really, really, really knows who Phoebe Cates is and wants to see her? If so, i would still skip this retail opportunity. I am from NYC, worked at a similar boutique in NYC and never followed anyone around quite like I was. Yes, Phoebe was there, on the phone, but her sole worker stalked me. My mother was blocks away at the hospital and even if I had the 650.00 to buy the articulated sterling silver clown pendant, I wouldn't have, because I wasn't spoken to with a mere hello or small talk, like people actually SHOULD do to to engage. Is this a small shop or a business? I know what I experienced and I won't be back. And yes, these great boutique items are not so unique and can be found 45% off on Amazon with free shipping.

In town from Boston to see a play and the MET. Had heard of this store, that Phoebe Cates owned it. Popped in and there she was! She was at the counter when I came in. Said hi. Was absolutely lovely. Had enough nerve to talk to her as I was leaving. She was very sweet and personable. The store is cute and I suspect if I lived on the Upper East Side, I would love it. Cute trinkets. Unique gifts. Definitely check it out!

People are chirping about the expensive prices in the store, comparing them to national online retailers like Amazon and eBay. This store is located Manhattan's prestigious Upper East Side, and likewise the prices would naturally reflect the associated costs with operating a store within such a location, and also considering the proprietor also resides in the area. Use some common sense before entering the store. You're not going to find prices comparable to wherever you're from back home like Iowa, Kentucky, or Florida. Sheesh.

I came to New York on vacation from California to see as much as I could. One must goal was to visit BlueTree. I didn’t get to see Phoebe, but I was lucky enough to see Ivana and Amanda. I bought 2 Chocolate Smiley Face candy things. Do you guys Remember? The front door wouldn’t open to let my daughter and me in and again when we were ready to leave. We had to push the button. It was funny. Amanda had to come to the door to help open it. She said, “we’re still working out the bugs.” I don’t regret not seeing Phoebe, but I do regret not talking to Ivana and Amanda more. You guys are so nice and friendly and I just Froze! I had a lot to talk about, too! I hope I get another chance to get to visit New York. Thank You Guys! Mike9994

I was brought here not knowing who owned the store. My client and I were talking and "he" wanted to get me a thank you gift. I love unique - artistic - I noticed some earrings that I was tricked into saying I loved (I did) and they were purchased for me. I did not know the price until later ( I dont look at price tags or I'm shopping for the wrong "stuff"). Each time I wear the earrings people compliment me and they better not dare touch them because they are sacred entities. Nonetheless, the store was fun and my earrings are art pieces!
