This place is so interesting! Theres cute dishware (I personally like the adorable ones with cats and other animals from Japan) and other kitchen supplies, jewelry, clothes, incense, and other trinkets.The staff is super kind and patient.This place is totally worth checking out!
One of my favorites Ive shopped here for 32 years and Im always amazed at the variety and quality of the items I purchase here!!
Great selection of tie dye/boho style top,s, dresses. They have an amazing assortment of throws/rugs. Its always busy, so others must like this place too!
Novelty shop with very few novels, but lots of love.
A hidden gem in Rochester and my favorite local place to shop hands down. Prices are very reasonable and the associates are always pleasant and helpful. If you want unique, local goods at a stellar price, come here!!
I want to say I was absolutely thrilled to be taken care of by Vanessa last week who really was great at finding what I needed for all my Christmas gifts. Cannot ask for a better employee and hopefully she will be working there next year when I visit NY again. Great store, excellent prices, Stay in Business!
Top 3 gift shop in town, something for everyone and if you cant find something I dont know what to tell you.
Always the best stuff at archimage. never disappointed when we visit.
The shop is perfect in SO many ways! I would say that my favorite thing there is the jewelry made by local artists. I found an orgonite necklace for only $16 and online they are close to $40. The prices are perfect. The staff have always been very relaxed and helpful. The incense is great, and general selection is so amazing 😍
This Store i mean what do you say about one of the best Crystal/Tarot/Spiritual stores there is in Rochester ... Love it!!!!
Great place to find fun little holiday gifts. Helpful staff, local good and well sourced goods from afar
Fantastic store with many locally made items!
This store is filled with hard to find vintage toys, Crystals, eccentric clothing and beautiful decor for your home. There is much more to discover there o highly recommend looking them up and checking out the store.
I adore this place. Has a good mix of high quality and beautiful gifts along with stocking stuffer cutesy type gifts. They have some musical instruments, servingware, drawing supplies, origami paper, magnets/pens/pins, clothes and socks, lights, perfumes... really they have a ton of stuff and such a wide variety and selection no matter what things you like, theyll have a thing for you. And their stock changes quite a bit, so its always a good option for a revisit monthly.
Well stocked with oddities and artsy gifts . It was a bit crowded. Its pretty popular. Oddities would be things like weird toys and novelties. You want a crazy cat lady action figure, they have her. You want dinosar toys or send effect key chains they have that. They also have some art supplies in small amounts, Dover publications color books and sticker and temporary tattoo books, and things of that nature, artist made greeting cards and hippy style clothing and hand bags, new age Crystals and gifts from foreign cultures. Prices arent bad . Basically its alternative culture hippy dippy artsy gifts central. Monroe ave used to have a dozen places with this d n a and Arcimage is one of only 2 or 3 left.
They have the most beautiful things! Gifts for the whole family or to treat your self! Awesome toys for kids and their prices are very reasonable!
First time in based on a recommendation (from a FB plant group) for pots and small plants. Wayyyyy more than just plant stuff! Great source for spiritual and Wiccan items, local artisans, and fair trade products. Will definitely be returning to shop again.
Ive been going to this store since the 90s and, overall, its much the same. There is a great selection of items. You can spend a long time looking around and finding amazing gifts and treasures.I do have a complaint, though. Twice in the past few months I have made the hour drive there to purchase some crystals. And both times, the employee at the back crystal display made it feel like a complete inconvenience to help us. No initial greeting. No smile or helpful demeanor. And giving off very inconvenienced vibes anytime we asked to see something. (And we only asked to see two things each time, Its not like we were asking them to pull out a dozen things.) We had planned to make a few big purchases here and decided against it due to this energy. Anyone who knows gemstones and crystals knows that youre guided to the right pieces by feeling. Its why we made the drive. We will try at Mythic Treasures next time.
Went here for the first time today and immediately fell in love. Theres so many amazing gems and always something cool, wherever you look. I ended up buying an Emily Dickenson lavender scented car freshener, a cute coffee mug, and an Upstate New York postcard. But this was only after I forced myself to put back about ten things so that I didnt overspend. Definitely recommend.
I LOVE this shop. Variety of giftable items for anyone 1 - 100. Seriously, plan on spending at least 1 hour in this store to take the time to look at everything. Staff is wonderful and has been there for years. The jewelry is especially good quality, they carry many fine pieces that can be worn daily and have an array of styles and design choices. It is hard to describe how much this store means to me, perfect place to stop on the way to a birthday party to find a last minute gift!
Lots of unique and fun stuff to explore! I love shopping here. My only complaint is that the young people on this strip of Monroe Ave must think theyre immune to Covid-19; NO social distancing at all and very few people in masks. This store was packed with people and little kids the Sunday afternoon I went. Glad I wore 2 masks before going in and had hand sanitizer!
An absolutely fun spot in Rochester. You can find unique meaningful gifts for anyone in there at virtually any price point. Supports local artisans. I always find something fun in there!
They just keep on having the things we want to get. Great job.
Archimage has been a staple of Monroe Ave for ages and one that I absolutely love. You can spend a lot of time looking at all of their treasures. I honestly just love them so much and I frequently do my Christmas shopping in this store. A very charming shop that Rochester is lucky to have. ♥️
Can find some interesting gifts there
My little guy (age 7) was blown away with the kindness of your employees, and enjoyed discovering all the everything so much the he insisted on making this review.
First bad experience here. Went in after a COVID hiatus and white woman followed me around the store as if I was going to steal something. Sending only positive vibes and well wishes to other brown people who shop here.
I love love love this store! Bought so many nifty, unique things to jazz up my apartment! Home sweet home!
I love Archimage. Its a great small business! They have some really neat items, some of them for very reasonable prices. Its just nice to go in to a store like this and find something thats not $100. I get so many treasures here. I miss the HUB store across the street(bring it back guys!!!) but they have incorporated some of the items into Archimage.
Best place for unique gifts! 💜
My actual favorite shop in Rochester. I get nearly all my crystals here and they have a great sterling silver jewelry selection as well. Theres also art, pins, clothing, dishes, instruments, and lots and lots of miscellaneous unique items. I see mostly the same employees every time I go (and they are super kind and easy to strike up a conversation with!) so it must be a great place to work as well :) Definitely a must go if youre in the area!
Fun novelty shop Ive been frequenting for years now. My son has become interested in rocks and minerals so we took him as a birthday gift to spend $10 on what he wanted. Bright atmosphere and extremely friendly/ helpful staff. He even got wished happy birthday!
Archimage is a great little shop. They carry an incredibly broad array of items, including original art, some by local artists, toys (anyone need a Librarian action figure with shooshing action?), instruments, incense, candles, art supplies, clothing, original jewelry, pottery and numerous other odds and ends. One of my favorite stops in the city.
This store’s atmosphere takes you back to a great time, so eclectic! I got lost in this store for a while. It will not disappoint you.
One of my all-time favorite stores. Clothing prices are a little expensive but if you can find sale items they are more affordable. Jewelry is amazing and wellpriced as well as their gift items in the front of the store.I come here when I need to find a birthday gift for my friends and want something different and zen.
I love this place, Ive been going there for years and I absolutely adore it. Its the perfect place to pick up a gift for the kids, jokers, hippies, or eclectics in your life. With wonderful customer service and a real home grown charm.
Great and varied selection. The aisles are a little cramped for me, and Im a pretty average build, and very not coordinated. Anyway, lots of weird stuff from modern and kooky toys, to novelty kitchen ware, to decorative, anatomically correct, carved resin skulls. The staff, I dont think they know how NOT to be nice. Incredibly helpful, insightful, too. Asked them if theyd have anything for my dad, a hearty drinking military guy; basically exactly the opposite of their vibe, but they helped me find something perfect for him and advised me of some traditions that went along with the gift. Always fun.
Love this store. Has a wide variety of fair trade, handmade, local, and fun trinket type gifts.
Sadly, I will never be returning to this store. It gives shopping local a bad reputation. Today I spoke with the owner of the store about a refund that went terribly sideways. She told me and my fiancé that we purchased the wrong item for our age, to only shop at large stores, and that the refund policy was posted at every counter, which it is not (as I pointed out to her at the counter we were speaking with her at). My fiancé and I spent an hour and a half in the store on Valentine’s Day looking for a gift for one another. She found a dinosaur lamp, which the owner claims was not a display item, even though it was unboxed on display with the other lamps. My fiancé had no idea that the woman at the counter grabbed it from the display, a lamp that had a few paint chips. She bought it in secrecy to surprise me, so when I opened it, to my dismay, it looked used. Upon trying to make the return today, the owner explained the return policy and made the comments above I mentioned. She also told me to take it down when speaking to her, yet I was not being loud or aggressive in any way. I am quite offended by the owner and will not return. Beware of their return policy and be prepared to be degraded if you do in fact try to return something; you should probably just buy from a large department store as she would say, ruining it for other local shops.
Great gifts for the family and yourself. Little gifts that heal your soul!
Great place! They have all sorts of unique and interesting products for gifts, DIY projects, etc...
I loved this place so much! Ive never been to Rochester so stumbling into this shop made my time here even better. I enjoyed all the joke stuff as well as the giant crystals and art pieces being sold there.
I love it there I went there for my second time but I think itd a great store and I like it a lot.
This store is my go to for any gifts for a y one ever. From my grandma to my best friend they have something for everyone and everything. Is a must see in the Rochester area! Highly recommended
This is a wonderful world imports gift shop.I stress the phrase World Imports. There is lots of jewelry, clothing, toys, musical instruments, incense, soap, pottery, clothing made from different parts of the world. Shop here and support small businesses!
This place is so great , nextdoor from around alley and full of interesting and wondrous things that are pretty hard to find , they even have a didgeridoo and rain sticks, I love it its awesome if youre looking for decorative Chopsticks or little funny gifts you will definitely find them here
I love going to this store because they have such intricate stuff. You can find tapestries, stones, clothing, jewelry, wall decorations, and nick nacks. Park can be a little tricky at times. There is parking behind the building, but if thats all taken up, youll have to park on the street.
A really awesome boutique with an interesting and diverse assortment of items, many of which support local artists and artisans.
Great stuff! Lots of new age stuff and lots of novelty gifts. Great asian culture chopsticks and china. Awesome jewlery and large collection of jems and precious earth stones. Never the same twice. You can go weekly and they always have new awesome stuff!
Great shop! Good variety, good prices, great for gifts, definitely something for everyone. Staff are always friendly and helpful. I love to visit just to browse, but I always find something I have to have.
If youre visiting Rochester this place is a must visit location! Lots of great gifts for friends and family or for your own pleasure. The employees are sweethearts, very helpful, kind and open. Theres home decor, stickers, art supplies, knicknacks and jokester toys. Perfume, incense, magnets, belly dancing outfits, tie dyed clothes and stonwe. Go!!
I love this store. There is always something new to see even as the inventory hasnt changed much (in a good way). Ive bought two rings from there and get compliments on them.
Very neat store! A wide variety of gifts. We spent a long time browsing, and well definitely be back.
I love archimage. My parents have known the owners for years and its an awesome shop. They have so much that cant be found anywhere else and are very reasonably priced
They have such cool stuff you cant find other places, and the staff are always so friendly and cool. I love love love this place
This is my go to shop for gifts for any occasion, housewares, cards, jewelry, clothes, you name it. Ive been shopping at archimage for almost 20 years and it cannot be beat out by any other boutique in Rochester. You can find anything you want, plus a few things you didnt know you needed. This is a Rochester MUST visit.
One of my favorite stores in Rochester! Great place to pick up a gift for yourself or someone else! The staff is always friendly and very helpful.

Went there Saturday and found what I needed and found something I wasnt even looking for. The staff were friendly and helped to find the items that I wanted. Will definitely go back in the future.
Used to be the coolest place in town. Still has the best jewelry but the rest of the merch hasnt changed in years.
So many great things for all ages from babies to adults at the store. Lots of unique finds and unexpected gifts!
So many things 2 see & purchase. You could do all ur cmas shopping in one place. Unusual & unique items loving displayed. From chocolate bar 2 socks.
The best store in the world. Now with its companion store, the Hub, across the street, I doubt theres anything you need, beyond a few utilitarian items like food, that you cant find at one of these two stores.
Fun place to go to. The staff is very friendly and down to earth. Nice unique selection in there if you are looking for a gift
Great place to find eclectic gifts, wares, and fashions, with very helpful workers. One of my favorite places in the city for it.

2021-04-26Lovely place. Positive people and unique products. My cousin brought me here for my Brithday because she knows I love cute things. I love my panda earrings. The place is expensive but Im sure there is a reason 😊
Review №2
2021-12-20I swear this place just keeps getting cooler. It was already fun here as a kid, but with the addition of unusual, fairly-priced rocks and an increased selection of tarot cards, and with all the handcrafted jewelry- its just great. Love this place. Something for everyone, maybe even your stick-in-the-mud uncle.

2021-04-17Rochester staple, the people who work here are ALWAYS helpful and polite. Great incense, jewelry, gems and stones, instruments, home decor, clothes, fashion accessories, locally made goods, journals, adult coloring books, toys etc. So much stuff crammed into a small store but all so cool! Worth the trip anytime, great place to find unique gifts.
