      Highly Recommend

      I loved taking my niece to build our own bracelets - it was the perfect birthday present! Fun and easy experience, we were given space and time to pick our beads, given great instructions and advice on how to begin, and even finishing the bracelets was pleasant thanks to the barista's help.10/10 would recommend to do at any age.

      Bead bar birthday bliss

      Each and every person at the Short Hills bead bar were so welcoming, and happy to assist us. It was a birthday gift for a dear friend and we had so much fun. The staff was patient and answered all our questions and gave us creative suggestions throughout the process. We are looking forward to coming back. We had a wonderful experience.
