LOVE it!  Great combination of indie designers, vintage pieces & affordable gifts.  The chic that owns this place is pretty fierce too (did I seriously just say fierce?).  If MMM were a person, I would be friends with her.

I absolutely adore Mini Mini Market. The people that work there are so amazingly helpful (they sat with me for about half an hour while I tried on dresses and told me which to get). The store has a great inventory of cool stuff that I would die to have (if only I had the moolah c:). I would recommend this to anybody in the Williamsburg area who is looking for a really cool place to shop.

what I love about MMM is the continual movement and look of retail genius. The pioneer store to the neighborhood is a go to for gifts and quick grabs for everyone on my list. I rarely think there stuff is overpriced but rather value the selection is hard-to-finds. I guess Mini is like ebay for me...I go in looking for a watch for my niece, then keep searching and searching finding new loads of great pieces and interesting takes on orignials. Now I never have to be out-bidded again. Yes.

This is the type of store that on the outside you think, "WOW I will find lots in here" then you go in, walk around and find yourself leaving empty handed time and time again. Maybe it's me and my issues, but I find that they have too many choices of types of items and not enough variety of categories. They've got some clothes, some underwear/lingerie, some shoes, some candles and just some of everything, it'd be nice if the store was big enough to expand their sections, because I do think there is a need for what they sell.

The upside? They've got some cute cards, pricey but worth it for the wow factor of a non-Hallmark pick. Cheap earrings that make great quick to pick gifts and they care one of my favorite underwear lines, Eberjy. That being said, they care only a select few items so if what you want isn't among the few, you're totally out of luck.... Not a store to miss, just didn't thrill me.

Great spot to find gifts for people who are hard to shop for.  Very helpful and attentive moccasin-sock-wearing staff and some very cool stuff.  I agree with the esty.com comment, but they've got to pay rent somehow I suppose....

It's delish. It's candy. It's great for ideas or if you wanna get a lot of good stuff in a short time (it's all there). But every time I go, I can't help but think: "I can just get that on etsy.com for 1/3 of the price."

There's always something to buy here. You won't like everything, but there's no doubt you'll find that one thing that makes you say "ooooh," then you look at the price tag, then have a moment of internal conflict. Then you pull out your pocketbook with a guilty conscience, justifying the purchase by upping your foxy factor. Think of it as hipster central, NOT urban outfitters. Just be prepared to spend some cash.

If I were a waifer model or a tiny little Japanese girl I would be looking so so hot in the clothes sold at Mini Mini Market. I love everything here. While many of the clothes are too cutting edge for me, I do enjoy the variety and style they have to offer.

Mini Mini Market also has a great selection of jewelry from silver lightning bolt necklaces to those hot feather earrings I've been eyeing for the past year. I wish I could blow all my allowance at the Mini Mini Market. I'd be dripping in lariats and twinkling in gold. Maybe I'll throw in the cool skulls ring and be a little bad ass.

Mini Mini Market doesn't discriminate. They've got the coolest t-shirts with sayings like I Heart NJ (yay for Jersey!) and the place has a whole section with stationary, cards, neon watches, and bacon wrapping paper. If you need something with Jesus on it, I'm sure you'll find it here too. And not in a Saved "I am filled with Christ's love" way but in a Jesus is my Homeboy vibe. The Mini Mini Market has everything cool, everything retro, and everything Japanese. They have tons of knick knacks perfect for presents and even the walls are filled with beautiful canvases painted by local artists for sale.

If the store wasn't cool and hip enough, they sometimes even have bakesales outside. Picture a cheerleader jumping up in the air spelling F-U-N and shaking her pom poms. That's the vibe of the Mini Mini Market.

I'm not all that big on customer service... but I am big on purses and shoes!  This place has both, in spades.  I also really dig their selection of locally-made jewelry.  Sweet earrings, original necklaces, even those made-to-order name rings.

A cute store for cool stuff. They have shoes, jewelry, clothing, bags, useless cool gadgets etc. It's all got a cool retro feel with a modern twist. They have great things in a small space and are very friendly. They give out cheap gifts with every purchase and will even mail things to you if you don't live close by and really did want the thing you passed up during your last visit there (like myself).

UPDATE:
ok, so I haven't been here in a while and they have totally changed.
Yes they still have  few cute things (though they reconfigured their shop and have WAY LESS STUFF) but it's not a cool, more expensive, and just all around pretty BLAH.
original 4 star review down to 2. sorry guys. you've gone WAY down hill.

Mini Mini Market is hip. Like, bleeding edge, blindingly on the cusp, super-cool girl hip. In this tiny store you'll find everything you need to be downtown sweet from leggings, to knee high boots, dangling earrings and architecturally designed dresses. Want some Built By Wnedy? It's here.

What I love about Mini Mini are that their shoes are so reasonably priced and that they sell emerging designers wares on consignment.  What I loathe is that these aren't classic pieces you're buying, but of the moment garb. But, hey! That's just me. If you're ready to be "cool" then make a pitstop.

The Hot Topic of Williamsburg, this place blows for several reasons.  Most notably however is the fact that there is a serious lack of attention paid to customer service.  I have been in the store several times recently, each time dealing with employees of varied degrees of overall unfriendliness and downright surliness, and each time having a very negative experience.  It's the whole, Williamsburg-Hipster I'm-too-cool-for-anyone, including you the customer, -attitude.  But here is the thing, that attitude is so totally unwarranted given how generic the majority of their offerings really are.  Even the things that are mildly hip, are still sort of two years ago.  Oh, but it is Williamsburg, so maybe that's what they're going for, maybe it's all just some huge exercise in irony.
