Peppermint Boutique

I went to college in Rochester and survived 5 glorious winters before I had the sense to go where the weather didn't want to kill me. In the decades since, I often tell friends, family, and new acquaintances about how grim and depressing Rochester was. Apparently, the NY Post did an article that accused the city of being grim, and I was offended! That said, a college buddy of mine found that this wonderful shop had a hilarious commemoration of the grim and depressing and shipped me a mug stating such. It was a fantastic, unique, individual type of gift that you can't find at any big box store! The world needs more shops like Peppermint with cool and different gifts like this!! The best part is, they shipped the mug to me in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, my mail carrier moonlit on that old Chevy Chase movie (you know the one with the psychotic letter carrier) and the mug unfortunately arrived broken. I wrote a short email explaining what happened, and Lauren replied back within an hour! She didn't need much from me to get a replacement in the mail, again packed well but this time my mail carrier apparently was having a better day and it arrived in perfect condition in a couple days! Lauren made this already good transaction WONDERFUL!! Thank you so much, and be healthy!!

I fell in love with this boutique when I was in upstate NY years ago for school! They offer unique and one-of-a-kind apparel and jewelry. Every time I wear something from Peppermint, I get compliments on it. The customer support is top notch. I found a gift card from 8 years ago that initially wasn’t compatible with their new POS system. The staff took time to go back through and verify the amount on the gift card and transferred the balance to an online gift card that I could use immediately. Of course, I used it right away to purchase a cardigan that I had been eyeing on their Instagram. Love this store so much!

Fantastic customer service and the store is curated lovely! Definitely one of the most diverse and inclusive boutiques in Rochester they support local artists by selling their prints in store or candles which are AMAZING!! and I love how some items such as the headbands are made by local refugees plus the fact that is run by a woc is badass!!! Definitely check it out if you live or visit Rochester. The girls there have excellent customer service and are so welcoming I will be for sure making a return :)

Great gifts here, especially if you're looking for something local themed. Amazing jewelry selection. Beautiful clothing, although none of it seemed suitable for larger bodies, however I also didn't inquire about size availability and assumed fitting rooms are closed.

I love Peppermint. I have shopped here since they were at the Park Ave location, and I’ve yet to be disappointed. Yes, some of the items are fairly pricey, but it’s so worth the price because you know you’re getting a quality piece of clothing all while supporting a small locally owned business. The jewelry is so wonderful, too. They have these delicate chains with cute hand crafted charms, all the way up to big chunky statement pieces. There’s something for everyone here, and they’re always getting in new items so if you don’t see something you love, come back in a week or two and there will be something new. I’m also obsessed with the unicorn necklaces, the dinosaurs necklaces, and, of course, the pizza necklaces. The chains with these are so delicate and dainty, and yet they hold up so well while wearing them. The owner also helps people personally by picking clothing items she thinks will compliment a person’s body type and style. She’s very hands on and will often try to pair jewelry with dresses or outfits. Not because she’s trying it up sell you, but because she truly wants others to walk out of the store with great, matching outfits for any occasion. She also offers FREE alteration services, and she’ll bend over backwards to make sure you’re completely happy with your purchase. I can’t say enough good things about this place. You won’t be disappointed.
