Cherry Bomb

I have been a fan ever since my friend (A Clark Atlanta alum) mentioned it to me during her CAU days a few years ago. I love their unique dresses and tops (that range from moderate to pricey) and I love how they keep a low stock on each item so if you get something out of Cherry Bomb, you will pretty much be the only one wearing it and you won’t see the same outfit on someone else especially for me since I don’t live in Atlanta. I love how fast their shipping is since they have a website now. I also liked how professional they were when they were taking orders by phone after posting product inventory on Instagram. Sometime their shoes are hit and miss (some look cheap while others look like a quality shoe for Bakers/​Bebe pricing). My love for Luichiny shoes developed because of this store.

Sadly, Cherry Bomb closed recently. I loved it and have many a shoe box with lovely surprises inside that I experience over and over.

I went to Cherry Bomb today for the first time with my daughter after reading the Unilocal reviews. I liked it. I really did. It had a nice mix of expensive pieces and affordable pieces. I thought the dresses could have had a larger mix of cuts rather than the hourglass skin tight look. The sizes were mostly in super small sizes. I don’t know if that’s what they cater to or just what they had in stock. The other customers I saw were not teeny tiny girls so I was a little miffed.
We did buy a great pair of skinny jeans. Very cute. My daughter was excited. She was a little disappointed that the bag didn’t say Cherry Bomb.
I liked the staff. I didn’t feel like they were looking at me like I was the out of place suburban housewife that I am. I appreciate that.

I like Cherry Bomb, I really really like Cherry Bomb. The prices are great, the pieces are unique, and the fact that it’s in this area makes it worth the trip for us.
The biggest drawback to this establishment is the young lady/​manager/​owner/​sales help. She without doubt has the personality of a ironing board. Our first visit we simply wrote it off; 2^nd visit, we’re inclined to think that customer service is simply not her cup if tea.
I’ll be back because I like the store, but I pray with every fiber in me she’s not there OR in a better disposition. Third strike and Cherry Bomb is OUT. We can take our dollars elsewhere.

Hey ya’ll…guess who’s back!!! Miss me? Just came back from Spring Break in Hotlanta and I visited Cherry Bomb… and it was the bomb! I love a place where I can find original items that no one else will have and thats what you get at Cherry Bomb. Personally, it was my favorite store in Little Five Points, and if I’m ever in town I will def go back. Best jewelry ever too… I love awesome jewelry and this is the place for it.

They have something for every budget, however they don’t have every size. It’s hard to shop here when I see something I love and can’t have it. I do love their jewelry and the staff are very friendly. I hope to buy heels from here one day when I learn how to walk in heels. I must say they have a very stylish selection that is a cross between hipster, funkish, and classic elegance…

I really love all the party dresses here. I could spent many hours looking at everything at Cherry Bomb.
The prices are wonderful. Its all about the shoes here.

Incredibly overpriced and nothing unique. I also find the sales people pretentious, rude and prejudice. I’m laughing at these other reviews all screaming positivity… me thinks employees?

This is one of my favorite places in the Little Five Points area. Not only do I love their shoes like everyone else, but their clothes are super cute, as well! They carry everything from BB Dakota to French Connection.
The prices can vary significantly from $ 50 for a dress or shoes to $ 2 – 300, but you are in Little Five; however, they have TONS of sales on really great things all the time. I’ve gotten two pairs of adorable black heels for only $ 10 each before! Not to mention, I got myself a great find from a coupon they had on ScoutMob, and man, do I hope they do that again soon.
Overall, the atmosphere is always extra friendly, and the people there are willing to help you all the time. The only complaint that I really have is that things are limited, as it is a boutique. Sometimes I’ll go in and swoon over something only to find they don’t have it in my size. And it’s happened more than just a couple times. Especially their shoes. They have limited back stock of what I think is only for a few clothing items, and as beautiful as it may seem to walk into a room full of shoes and shoe boxes, what you see is what you get.

I could spend hours looking at their unique shoes! I love the variety, colors and styles! The pricing is fair.
I came here looking to get some heels or boots for the winter, but walked out with two pairs of shoes (sandals and wedges) for only $ 16.00! What a steal!!!

cute cute CUTE shoes.
not so cute prices.
maybe with the scout mob coupon i can find a pair. but even with that, the prices are high.
nope, i’ll stick to my random places i find funky shoes!

Thank you ScoutMob, I never would’ve discovered this little gym if not for you! I didn’t have a chance to peruse the racks of clothing because Hubs was with me — he has the patience to watch me try on stilettos but not so much clothes.
The shoe room is pure bliss. I was pleasantly surprised at the mix of designers and price ranges. I quickly fell in love with a hot pair of cheetah-​print wedge sandals!
There were several (more than 5) men hanging around the front of the store waiting for their ladies… I suggest a small waiting area with a TV for the guys! Hubs recounted his conversation with Dude sitting next to him:
Dude: «you would think that since they’re taking all my money, they could provide a comfortable place to sit.» [hot chick walks in…] «although, there are some other intangible benefits to this place.’

Shoe porn for your LIFE. Foreal.
Whenever I stop in Cherry Bomb, its always going to be for the shoes (mostly because that’s the only thing I can actually wear there, but that’s besides the point.)
Hot little boutique set in famed Little Five Points, its a great place to get your next pair of sexy shoes, or, club gear, not to mention their selection of two-​finger rings, sunglasses, and other accessories.

I love you cause your clothes are amazing and you are in a perfect location to shop around on a good weather day.
I hate you cause you took all my money away… and your employees are too damn convincing, yes, i do look good in this.
Damn you cherry bomb, must you have such nice looking jackets not on sale?

I can’t help but sing, «I’m your ch-​ch-​ch-​ch-​ch-​ch-​ch-​ch-​CHERRY BOMB! (The Runaways) every time I think of this place! The clothes, the shoes, the accessories all scream of that famed song. I love the belt buckles, designer-​hip jeans, chic shoes, and awesome tops.
‘Tis a bit pricey though, but hey, you get what you freakin’ pay for.

Cherry Bomb, as everyone else said, is all about the dressy designer items and the trampy obscure brands. Doesn’t matter, because this store is about the trend.
They have a very ecletic collection of dresses from designers who have no names and designers with the big names– such as Betsey Johnson and French Connection. Overall worth looking into!
I think this store is not so renown for their clothing as much as they are for their shoes (half the store is clothes, the other half is shoes, and there are many employees there to help you find what you need) — I found a really cute pair that I was willing to dish out 30 for, but it turned out that there were some scuffs on them (nothing nail polish couldn’t counter) and the owners were nice enough to give me a great discount!

Admittedly, this place used to kind of bug me. You see, despite my thin wallet ways, I have VERY expensive taste. Put me in a thrift shop and I’ll want the something randomly priced at $ 100. It’s a skill, I suppose, but not one I like. And Cherry Bomb was never good for me, as I’d always gravitate towards their much more spendy items than the cheaper stuff they had displayed right alongside.
However (and I don’t know if this is a more permanent change or just a coincidence) on my most recent trip it seemed like everything I picked up was VERY well priced. Like, affordable. For me. That means cheap: $ 30ish tops, $ 10 sunglasses, etc.
A lot of the shoes were still out of my league, especially for fun trampy ones that I’d wear a few times and get sick of. But I’m in love with this place for it’s proximity to me and the fact that I actually found some great wearable pieces this go round. I’ll be back, you better believe, and I’m pretty excited about it.

: One-​stop Shopping For Ladies & Tramps :
Cherry Bomb is a great mix of low brow and hi brow: skanky gear to seduce your man and designer duds to meet his parents. The range of clothing and prices is extensive; you’re bound to find something to brighten and refresh your standing wardrobe. There’s jeans, dresses, tops, and jewelry for any budget.
The shoe selection is plentiful and colorful. I’m always thrilled to pick up tangerine heels and purple stilettos without having to endure double anal penetration dvds on the way to the display rack. I prefer scoring my hooker shoes in a non-​STD setting.
There’s been a couple of times I’ve walked out of Cherry Bomb empty handed, but this last time, I renewed my credit card company’s interest in my current whereabouts.

Unless I marry Ryan reynolds, there is no way I would blow more than $ 40 on jeans, or more than $ 60 bucks on a slinky t-​shirt material dress that does not even have hemming. PHLU-​ASE! I am not a label whore, although Banana Republic rules my closet (they were all sale items). Their clothes are priced high, but then you go to the shoe side and… is reasonable? Is like Heaven and Hell… Blue skies and grey…
HOWEVER, I go in here weekly for the shoes on sale. I have scored AWESOME sandals and heels and boots at prices that I find incredibly appropriate. Funky styles and colorful, helps me spice up my cheap Rag-​O-​Rama inspired newfound fashion.
I have a monthly budget of $ 60 which is alloted for shoe shopping and/​or drinking, and this fits my budget like a size 7.5 stiletto!

Contradiction is the theme here.
Cherry Bomb carries some higher end brands like Plenty by Tracy Reese and Betsy Johnson — a cute dress or top from them could run around $ 250. But they also have a selection of randombrand items that are trendy and run light on the pocketbook, too.
There’s also a huge selection of shoes. While there are some higher end pairs, most of the shoes are around $ 24! Of course, as we all know, when it comes to shoes, you truly do get what you pay for. But it could be perfect for picking up a pair for a specific outfit or something really trendy. They get new stock in fairly often and have a sale wall in the back (last time I went, the sale wall had $ 10 shoes!).
A good place to bring a friend who’s ready to throw down some bucks on clothes. While she’s busy trying on the dress that costs as much as your rent, you can happily browse the other sections of the store and score a cute tunic for 48 bucks.
There’s also a pretty strong selection of denim and accessories, like handy leather goods from Latico, here too. Every time I’ve been in there’s been a few people on staff (or fashionably dressed friends of staff just hanging out there, I’m not sure), and they’ve been friendly and willing to help.
