Verde

Purchased a 36 dollar necklace from this shop during pride weekend and also bought two more- it immediately tarnished (not sure about the other ones yet, I’m a bit scared to wear them). I didn’t get it wet or anything like that I take great care of my jewelry- I googled lens searched an image of the necklace and found so many similar ones right from aliexpress… I don’t know where they’re sourcing their jewelry from but for a necklace of that price I would expect it to be a little bit nicer and not immediately tarnish- it sucks because it’s a really cute necklace- the shop is really nice and has a great selection of items I’m just really upset about this necklace because I love it and bought it during an important weekend for me :(

This shop is a little slice of heaven for anyone who loves handmade treats and unique gifts. The chocolates are melt-in-your-mouth good, and the artisan jewelry always catches my eye. I never leave empty-handed!

Great collections for valentine day. It is time to stop by and get Seth for your love one.

This was the cutest find during a weekend trip to Philly; the store went out of their way to work with me so I could purchase a pair of adorable shorts that were out of stock while I was in town and shipped them to me. High quality clothes and great prices; will definitely be back!

A nice little gift shop. I find the selection to be rather limited but there’s a good assortment of accessories.

Fun staff very knowledgeable about fashion delicious chocolate and desserts. Beautiful staff and clothing amazing security

Unique quaint store while strolling on the streets of Philadelphia…bought a nice bag as a remembrance for being in this city! Love it!

Great little shop for gifts, chocolates, jewelry, readers, and candles.

A cute venerable boutique in midtown. I've been here shopping in the past, especially around the holidays. Jewelry, clothing and all kinds of gifts. Gets crowded and tight but that's because so many people want to be there!

There's a store in Santa Fe, NM that's called "Cashmere and Chocolates." All they sell is fancy cashmere and fancy chocolates. Truth in advertising. To me, this store should be called "Pretty everyday jewelry and chocolates." Because they have a lot of very pretty jewelry (at a very very reasonable price point) and a lot of delicious chocolate.

One of my favorite shops in philly. I don't believe in buying stuff just to buy it so I typically never go in shops like this or any kind. But I was drawn in one day and have to say I am impressed by what they carry. Huge assortment of jewelry of all kinds. Cute unique gift items and occasion themed things too like weddings etc. and I actually got my kisch hair towel here and it's hands down the best thing I randomly bought in 2021. Functional, cute, and sustainable! I came back in the fall and got a gorgeous gold necklace. Amazing piece for only like $45 or something cheap like that. I was very close to buying a tie dye sweatsuit set but did not. But it was sooo cute. My boyfriends mother saw some cute clothes here too when she visited. And I also got my GF her Bachelorette party card and some cute corgie socks. I always stop in here. Not your typical boutique. Def worth a visit.

This is a perfect little gift boutique!! Looking for something unique and thoughtful? This is your place! I got some really great Christmas gifts here!

A cute, small shop with an eclectic mix of a little of everything. They had jewelry, winter accessories, a sock wall, perfumes and candles, paintings, and even desserts! (the salted budino from barbuzzo for $8 omg) I loved the vibe inside, with colorful sloths and frida khalo giraffe artwork hanging on the walls, it's a great place to do your holiday shopping. The prices are on the higher side (~$30 for jewelry and other smaller items) but seem like they are fairly good quality. I'll definitely be back to pick up a few pieces, especially their art!

I got all my jewelry here. I'm allergic to fake jewelry and can only wear gold-filled, gold-plated, or solid gold stuff. They have a very nice Gold-filled selection here and it's fairly priced. I get compliments all the times on my rings, which are all from here. Been here probably closer to 10 times and the only complaints I have is the staff is very unfriendly. I work in retail and their low key snobby attitude is really annoying. And it definitely doesn't improve as the years go, since it's the same exact people working here for the past 2-3 years. Clearly they don't care enough to fix that because I'm not the only one mentioning this on yelp. The only reason I even frequent is because of the stuff they sell. Store: 5-star Service: 2-star Max

Super unfriendly staff There are amazing trinkets and goodies in here! Motivational and beautiful and spiritual! And they're unique too- it's one of those shops where if you go in without an idea of what to gift to someone, it'll inspire ideas! They even have chocolates made in house! Other downside though? Everything is about 20% marked up. Like most of the things you see you will think to yourself if it was just 5-10 dollars less you'd get it in a hearts beat! I will not go back. The staff were enough to turn me the other way. But if you're in a pinch and need a piece of jewelry or home decor? Or an overpriced piece of chocolate? This is your place!

Fantastic and amusing little store. If you need a gift for a friend, or a little "pick-me-up" for yourself, you will find it here ! I got myself a pair of labradorite earrings shaped like a sun and moon. I have worn them pretty much every day since purchase. Brenna is a delightful helper, the other woman not friendly or welcoming at all. You will be hard pressed not to find something you've gotta have !!

Urban Outfitters meets Godiva. That is exactly what this store reminds me of. Extremely chic & stylish clothes along with adorable greeting cards & other trinkets. In addition to the clothes, they also sell chocolates!! Chocolates are delicious and I always have a hard time picking which flavor I want. While the clothes are cute & chocolates are delicious, this store is definitely on the pricier side - but for some reason I always find myself coming back for more :)

Verde peeps hand pick many items, that is added to their little adorable shop to make sure it's truly special. Gifts, unique cloth, cute accessories and delicious chocolate at the Marcie Blaine Chocolate counter. New great addition was the to-die-for "budino." No matter where you stand on the "Verde" debate- limited edition budino doughnut or frozen budino pops- we all can agree that we LOVE budino. Four and half Yelps.

This is definitely an adorable store with lots of great products. Really is one of my go-to spots for gifts and even gifts for myself! What really disappoints me is how unfriendly the staff is. It is such a great store it really needs a better and welcoming staff. I always find myself coming here first, spotting adorable things but usually become turned off by the staff so I march across the street to open house..

In my dream world Jose Garces never met his wife. He makes me deviled eggs for midnight snacks and when he buys me flowers and presents and chocolates they come from Verde. This store is so close to the super cool shops of Omotesando and Shimokitazawa that it makes me homesick. Seriously boyfriends, lovers, husbands of Philadelphia you wanna win your ladies over...this is the place.

This is a hodge podge of fun! Such neat gifts and trinkets-another lovely boutique in Philly. A great place to buy gifts for the "hard-to-buy-for" people in your life. I could seriously spend more time here.

Horrible customer service! Their employees obviously have no vested interest in the business of this local shop. They were perfectly fine with me putting all the items I was going to purchase back. They have dresses, you can't try them on, not can you return them if they don't fit.

What could be sweeter than a store serving up hand made speciality chocolates, surrounded by the coolest collection of jewelry, clothing, accessories and gifts? Not much, on this side of the Schuylkill! I have been coming to Verde since I moved to Philly almost 8 years ago, and have never been able to walk out empty handed. I've found some of my favorite statement pieces of jewelry here, gifts for my dearest, most stylish family members and friends, and of course, plenty of chocolates! The staff is genuinely helpful and sweet, and the atmosphere is cozy and cute (meaning, it's a tight squeeze, but every nook and cranny houses amazing finds!) On my most recent trip here, I found the most beautiful sparkly behind-the-ear studs, a gorgeous necklace for my mom-in-law to be, a bright and soft scarf for my fiancé's sister and my shopping companion purchased the most darling hat to perfect her winter ensemble. I hope this store lives on in Philly as long as I do, because it's one of my favorites!

Go to this store!! It is so cute, eclectic, and fun! It is on the more expensive side but it can be worth it for something one of a kind. Even if you are just window shopping, it is a great place to spend some tIme looking at all the cute stuff! I am sure before you leave the store that you will pick up a few items saying that "omg this is perfect for (fill in the blank)." If you are looking for a unique gift, you will absolutely find it here. Great to take your girlfriends while shopping around. There are a couple other cute boutique on 13th across the street. It definitely isn't off the path or the only store around so come on by and explore the area!

Verde is the latest brainchild of Marcie Turney and Valerie Safran - owners of Bindi, Lolita, Openhouse, and grocery. One part flower/garden shop, one part chocolate truffle shop, one part home decor and gift store, all parts beautiful, quirky, and fun - Verde is just what I've come to expect from these Philadelphia entrepreneurs. Walk in and you're immediately surrounded by plants, flowers, succulents, and all the necessary accessories to keep your home and cement yard (face it, we're in Philly) a year-round botanical garden. Keep moving towards the back and you're likely to stumble upon the perfect wedding/birthday/house-warming/hostess gift. Even further back you'll see a chocolate display with everything from brittle to truffles - made on site I believe. Here's to Verde - may it help make Philadelphia prettier, waistlines expand, and wallets shrink!

The place is cute, but the staff are unfriendly, and unfortunately, that's where it starts and ends for me with any review. A simple hello goes a long way, but I didn't get that here. I am working a show in Philly for the weekend, and one of my customers clued me in to a great little shop that features locally-made goods; specifically, a stamped 'Philly' tote bag I'd been eyeing. Welllp, I eyed a lot of them in Verde, and was rewarded with the old side-eye from the two women who were too busy shouting "NO!" back and forth to each other (to the beat of MJ's 'The Way You Make Me Feel', no less) as they restocked the shelves. I felt unwelcome, and so my money and I vacated the premises. It's a damn shame, because I wanted all of the things: funky on-trend jewelry, cute-as-hell accessories, a fragrance that made me swoon, and of course, a wall of those awesome totes. Moral of the story, Verde: a little less cha'mone, a little more "what's goin' on" when a customer visits.

If I had to imagine what a garden party would look like as a store, Verde is it. They have very cute flower arrangements, cute little accessories, a cute chocolate shop in the back, cute crafts and items....the common theme? "CUTE" It would be perfect if they sold petite fours and served tea =D It's a shame I don't live in Philly...I'd get flowers from here all the time. Maybe it's a good thing (safer for the wallet). Though I have already decided that if I ever throw a swanky party, I'll be getting my arrangements here...

Bought some summer flip flops. The dolce vita sandals were calling my name. Great for a last min gift. Cc and cash!!! this is a great place for a last min gift for a friend

What a great little shop! Verde carries clothing, jewelry, artwork, chocolates, purses, scarves, socks and all sorts of chotchkies. When thinking about Verde a few words come to mind: cute, trendy, fun, social, local. There are several stores in the city that carry the neighborhood name wine bags and Verde is one of them. I ended up buying a print with a bicycle that says Philadelphia. I just love that type of stuff. Immediately upon walking in, is a big case of Alex and Ani bracelets. It's not the largest selection I've seen, but it's great that they carry them too. Stuff for me, gifts for others. You really can't go wrong with Verde.

I'm from out of town and ended up staying at a hotel around the corner. I went to Verde 3 times!! That's how pleased I was with the shopping selection. I purchased a beautiful leather purse that I have gotten a dozen compliments on (and people literally hunting me down to find the purse online so they can purchase it), some alex+ani bracelets, and a modern quilted scarf that got rave reviews as a gift. I wish I lived closer!

SUPER cute store. Tons of unique accessories from jewelry to hats to socks. I've gotten a few things here, for myself and as gifts. The only reason I am giving the store 4 stars and not 5 is because like the other reviewers I agree that the staff is not very friendly/helpful. I have not needed to ask them any questions, but I also have not felt like it would have been welcome if I had. I will definitely continue shopping there due to the merchandise but it would be nice if the staff were much more welcoming.

I came in for the chocolate and was definitely not disappointed. Yeah, it's pricey chocolate but you're paying for beautifully crafted happiness. You can even watch them make it. As for the store, it's nice but not my cup of tea. Make sure to walk out with some chocolate.

Have you ever been to a store a million times because you love the aesthetic and you just KNOW that you will find just the thing you're looking for inside because from the looks of the place, it's right up your alley? Then, each time you visit, you become more and more digruntled because the truth is that it is full of a whole bunch of nothing and/or the prices are a little outrageous? This is how I feel about Verde. I'm sorry. I feel really bad saying it, but the truth is that I've been inside this shop abouuuuut 203 times and the only thing I have ever purchased is a card - which I gave to my boss at xmas. The truth is that I really do want to love this place, but for a store soooo similar to the one across the street, it pales in comparison - in quantity and variety of goods, and in price-point. And each time I visit, I am sooo disappointed! Also, I would agree with the earlier review - the staff do NOT seem to want to help anyone. This is certainly unfortunate.

Those of you who struggle with gifts to get for mom or wife or girlfriend or other leading lady, take note, Verde has a wealth of options. Even if she loves to cook, an iron skillet might not be better than that tennis bracelet. Or that food dehydrator, despite its obvious cool points, might not cut it either. You should probably get her something she wouldn't get for herself. A nice piece of casual jewelry to dress up those jeans. A cute pair of flats for those vacations to Martha's Vineyard. A clever Philly-inspired tee (that costs way too much, Verde). A selection of chocolates made in the experimental looking lab just in the back of the store. A nice handbag. A Goorin Bros fedora. Or, gasp, a flowery apron (anyone who said women don't belong in the kitchen needs a lesson from the 50s). One moment I was picking items up with excited fervor and a second later I was putting them back with ticket shock. An adorable Philly tee should not be more than $40. Likewise, an "indie" tee with screenprinted feathers shouldn't be over $30. But don't be dismayed, there were other things there that seemed fairly priced. All in all, a finely curated selection of gifts and goods.

Downgrade, on account of bleh salespeople. It's one thing to avoid eyes or whatever--I prefer to not be followed around the store, so that's cool. But to make a customer feel like they are intruding in your personal space by entering the store? What kind of shopping establishment has sales people who don't greet or bid farewell to customers? I seriously felt uncomfortable. Thanks, but no thanks.

At the eleventh hour leading up to my mom's birthday get-together, there was only one place that I felt confident would provide a suitable gift. Funny thing is, I had never even set foot in Verde. But I had been on the receiving end of a beautiful pair of earrings for Christmas last year (thanks, Art!), plus I had read enough positive reviews from trusted friends. I immediately took in all the gorgeous handbags, scarves and jewelry... and their corresponding price tags. Some were way out of my price range but there were enough items that fell safely in the comfort zone. After touching just about every scarf in the store and scrutinizing every piece of jewelry, I eventually settled on a pink scarf and a lighter pink bracelet, with heavy stones. I was even able to nab a birthday card by the register, and the bag with tissue paper was nice enough to forgo a more formal wrap job. My mom loved the bracelet. Loved. The scarf, on the other hand, wasn't really her style. Back to the store I went just two days later, receipt at the ready. I was able to exchange the scarf, no questions asked, for another item (which was slightly more expensive, natch). And if Mom doesn't like the replacement, I'm keeping it for myself.

Visit for the shop - skip the chocolates. The beautiful floral arrangements and unique decor lure you in off the sidewalk. What you don't know until you step inside is that Verde smells amazing! I love, love, love the pre-made bouquets. They are fresh, unique and well worth the price. Looking for trendy accessories? Head past the flowers. Venture even further back to find the most amazing smelling candles in gorgeous little tins & glasses. I've ordered my fair share of chocolates and I'm done. They're beautiful, but that's about it. At $2 a piece they are inconsistent in taste and texture, their flavors rarely live up to their descriptions, and the sales staff rush me every single time.

Kool products, terrible service. Couldnt even get a hello. If Im going to spend that kind of money in a place thats simply full of wants, not needs, then Id expect to welcomed. The girl behind the counter was chowing down on her food and the lady who was on the floor was more interested in playing with jewelry. I walked the entire floor picking up various items and perusing jewelry pieces that I was interested in. In 20 minutes I never once received a hello, asked if I were finding everything alright or acknowledged. Two stars b/c I liked quite a few products but not worth it if they dont appreciate their customers.

On Girls' night out, we stumbled into this cute Boutique!! It is quite eclectic & delightful with Artisanal chocolates in back that they sell & unique gifts for her & home!! Love the place.For people in your life that would REALLY appreciate unique gifts, this is your place.From jewelry to knits, hats , gloves, gorgeous pieces. Return Factor: Definitely

Verde is absolutely gorgeous! With whimsical, reasonably priced decorations, gifts, locally crafted jewelry and perfumes it's hard to ever leave empty-handed. The atmosphere is very pleasant, its small size is perfectly manageable and I've had good experiences with the staff whenever I've visited. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up!

this shop really impressed me... with their price tags. as in, i'm impressed people pay that much. for those things. in my area. when i want to spoil my female family members i'll probably go here first. the jewelry, as mindy k said, is gorgeous and has spectacular variety.

I was in the market for a unique gift for a friend when I was pointed in the direction of Verde by a close friend. After checking out a bunch of boutiques previous to hearing of Verde, I'm relieved that I didn't buy anything until I went here. The staff members were friendly upon entry, and the selection inside the store was amazing. They have a little bit of everything. Their jewelry selection is great, and the other things in the store are pretty cool as well. I got the perfect gift, and will visit the store again.

I'm redoing my very recent review of Verde. I just don't get some folks but I'm not gonna address that issue. Anyway, my review of Verde is that I really like this place. The shop is clean and shoppable with great merchandising and really competitive pricing. I know others think that it's overpriced, but believe me, I know exactly what they are paying for the merchandise and this product is very competitively priced. That's if you can find the same product in any other retail location. Verde has a very helpful and friendly staff that answered all of our questions and helped us with our purchases. I can't speak at all on the chocolates since we didn't try any (we had just eaten), but I can tell you it looked very very good and to see the chocolatier in the back making the product was an interesting scene. I really enjoy this place and if you're a plant lover than this is paradise on a small scale (city size).

How did I not know this place existed?! The store is filled with presents for just about everyone (including myself.. oops): totes, jewelry, flowers, specialty chocolates from Marcie Blaine and other accessories. I had a seriously difficult time leaving this store without picking up one of each. I've been trying to make a Philadelphia themed basket for my boyfriend's parents and was really stuck on ideas until I came in here and found their Philly chocolates. Yes, they are pricey, but what a fantastic touch to my basket! I have a bad feeling a good portion of my paycheck will end up in the owners hands..

Hostess Gift Central! Monther's Day, too. Wonderful home decor items, chocolates, jewelry items and accessories. LOVE IT!

Friendly service, beautiful arrangements, inviting atmosphere, and more are found here at Verde. I love getting arrangements here as they are always prompt and beautiful. You get what you pay for, however, so be prepared to pay a bit more than you might at other smaller flower shops, but the price is worth the beauty!

With its eclectic selection of bags, flowers, funky jewelry and chocolates, Verde is a charming destination if you're looking to buy a gift or indulge yourself. Some of their wares are a little pricey, but there's plenty of beautiful goodies to chose from if you're on a budget.

OMG, I love this store! I came one night about 10 minutes before closing (9 pm on a Friday night), and browsed a bit. I decided I needed more time and didn't want to keep the employees waiting so I came back the next day. This store has cute clothes for men and women (although more for women), accessories, crafts, purses, chocolates, gifts, etc. Their stuff is so cute and trendy although I couldn't find tops that fit me right. Prices were reasonable, too. I seriously loved this shop and wish I lived closer and in the same state!

I really like Verde. I've been shopping here for a couple of years and every time I'm happy with their merchandise and the overall look of the place. I also think the chocolate concept is really cool (as well the open kitchen in the back where you can see it being home made.) I'm not really a chocolate person, but I always grab a little treat while I'm in there. Today I bought a hat for an upcoming vacation. They have some cute accessories and it's a nice spot for gifts. A shop worth checking out!

So cute! I stopped in to grab a little box of chocolates for a gift-sharing party, and I was not disappointed. They are beautifully crafted with some really awesome combinations, including of the spiked variety. Friendly peeps and some other really wonderful items that were a little outside of my price range, but would certainly make a nice gift. It helps that it's right next to Apo, which is another establishment that specializes in green stuff. The coolest part of the store has to be the large glass window in the back through which you can watch people making the chocolates.

Verde is a pleasant surprise. I happened upon it after browsing at Open House which gets more and more disappointing each time I go there. From an urban horticulture point of view I think it's pretty great. Like others already mentioned the plants are more rare and exotic than what you'd find at your local florists, I thought their houseplants were lovely and very cheap! I also got a really friendly low-key vibe from the sales staff, unlike OH which seems either snarky or really unhelpful. Chocolates, handmade jewelry, bath and lotion products, funky well decorated space...all in all I think this is the type of affordable eclectic boutique style shopping that Philadelphia should be known for.

The people that work here are pure idiots, they could care less about the customers and customer service if my wife didn't like what she was going to buy here as much as she did I would have told her to leave everything.

Verde is the cutest boutique around. Clothes, jewelry, chocolate, purses, scarves, shoes, soaps etc. It's ladies heaven. This is a great spot to pick up a birthday present or something for a special occasion. Their products are all quality, which sometimes comes with a hefty price tag, but, I'd say it's worth it. You can watch them produce their specialty chocolates through a window in the back. It's pretty interesting. Their selection is pretty large and although the chocolate is pricey, they're really delicious and some unusual flavor pairings. The employees are all very friendly here. The store is adorable but teeny tiny. You'll be rubbing elbows with everyone.

I adore this shop. I haven't tried the chocolate mostly because I can't manage to get through the store without falling in love a bunch of times. Every time I have gone into this store I have spent less than 15 minutes and well over $75 and always walk out happy and with something unique and beautiful that I get compliments on. Seriously, I purchased a bag that converts to a clutch men, women, and babies have commented it. I have a ring that strangers go to touch because it's so pretty and unique. I rave about this place, I recommend it to friends looking for something unique, and I can't stop myself from going in when I am nearby. So check it out, and apparently they have chocolate too!! (I've seen the counter so it isn't actaully a surpirse). Its'a great place to purchase a gift for someone else and especially for yourself!

Do yourself a favor and do not shop here. The bitch cashier with glasses has a horrible attitude and should not work in retail if it pains her so much to answer a simple question about their merchandise. I was so thrown by her condescending response that I actually asked her if it was an odd question to have asked her. Oh, and as a bonus she rolls her eyes at you! This is the second time I've experienced her "pleasant" demeanor. The first time I practically had to beg her for assistance getting some chocolates from behind the counter, perhaps I should've helped myself??? I realize you're on trendy 13th street and think you're super hip ringing up past season Alex and Ani bracelets, but you probably weren't even born when 'Pretty Woman' was around - so maybe try being nice to your customers, that spend money (did spend money - not going back)!

I have a nagging fear that my picture is up behind the counter at Verde with a label reading "Comes, hangs out for a very long time, does not buy." Sometimes I sneak probing glances at the store employees for signs of wary recognition. Do they remember me? Are they bracing themselves for my usual half-hour of slow, dazed laps around the store, followed by an embarrassed "okthankyougoodbye" as I scuttle away? Guilty as (hypothetically) charged. I do buy things-- several times a year at least-- but, more often, I just go in and wander around. For a very long time. I can't help it. I can't walk by Verde without going in, and I can't go in without staying for a while, and I don't have enough gift-giving occasions to support my habit. It's like a museum in there! I don't know how they fit so much good stuff into such a small space, but they do. Verde sells an eclectic collection of unique jewelry, scarves, hats, bags, and other accessories in all sorts of styles. Whether you want something funky, artsy, or elegant, you will find it here. The chocolates are too beautiful to eat. Well, and also I have a dairy allergy. But if you are willing and able to eat chocolate, or you need an edible gift, this is the place to go. I've never seen anything like these little jewels of chocolate.

Truth be told I want to give it a poor rating to incite them to adjust a few things- bottle necking at the door because girls are in awe and their boyfriends just lost another piece of their soul, there isn't a whole lot of "look-to-assess-the-awesomeness" space, the candy takes up half the store... I really just wish the store was deeper so that the inventory could be more spread out. So, I'll give this 4 stars in the hopes that YOU and your boyfriend will also be a patron and they will be forced to expand their space. Note: there are no dressing rooms for the lovely tops they've got :(
