Fuego 718

Absolutely amazing store, possibly my new favourite in the whole world. It is run by the nicest man on the planet. We made a special trip to Brooklyn just to visit this shop after seeing it in my guidebook and we’re so glad we did. I wanted to buy everything (especially as it was 40% off). Love it.

WOW ** If you love color, design, creation, stimulation, adore whimsical, and love to be curious, you will love this Brooklyn shop Fuego. Fine you are broke, and can’t spend a dime… walk in, it will make you smile to see so many ways people can create art into functional enjoyable tangible art. You have money $$?? maybe set a budget lol I wanted 1 pillow and ended up with about 6 items. Good thing for Mother’s day sale lol. Store owner is friendly and talks to his patrons. He allows you to enjoy the store without harassing you or trying to sell you anything. The store holds beautiful items that sell themselves. Stop by to feed your curiosity and enjoy a smile or two.

LOVE this store. I could spend hours looking at every little detail, on all of their items. You can’t help but feel mesmerized by all the colors and beautiful art that covers the entire store, from head to toe. The inventory the store carries alone is great, but the customer service is amazing! The people in here are so great. I’ve been coming here for a while now and each time I find myself just talking for long periods of time with the staff. They’re so friendly and care about what they are selling you. They are not trying to rush you into buying anything and nor do they linger over you. I highly recommend checking this place out. You wont be disappointed.

Stopped in while visiting NY. I loved this shop so much amazing stuff! I wanted to buy the whole store. The two ladies at the counter were super friendly too! Will definitely be back!

Love this shop!
Everyone was very friendly and great selections of goods. Will be back when I’m in town next.
Thank you so much!

This little shop has some cool stuff, I really like the art work with the animal heads. The books they sell are also pretty cool for kids and adults.

I was walking with no goal and suddenly I saw this little shop.
At the beginning you can think it’s just a mess for tourists but honestly the owner has some really nice stuff inside (frame, pillow, book, statuette) !
For a gift or yourself, it’s a great place to shop!

I love this place! If ever I need a gift for my friends’ kiddies and/​or for anyone, fuego is the place to go. They wrap gifts willingly and enthusiastically, it’s awesome. They usually have sales too so, really, there’s nothing you’ll hate about this place. Highly recommend!

If I had to name one of my favorite stores ever, this place would be on top of the list. As others have mentioned, the store owner alone makes this place even more amazing. He makes everyone who enters feel special.
The store sales everything from whimsical knick knacks to great gift books.
If you are anywhere near this place, stop by and see what the talk is about.

Friend’s birthday? Farewell gift to a coworker? Need some new jewelry? This place is such a bright, colorful and fun mishmash of unique gifts.
Step inside to find quirky handmade cards, jewelry and home décor sourced from Mexico, Central and South America.
They also had a lot of unique books which is love. Some were fashion focused. Some journals. My favorite was a book called six hundred something things to draw, you open the book to find each page sectioned off with a word inspiring each drawing — a broom, your favorite pair of old sneakers, a treasure chest — it’s up to you to fill it up.
The man working there (who I’m assuming is the owner) is so jolly! And the lovely lady who helped me gift wrapped everything perfectly.
Please please support this lovely gem!

I love this store. My go to for gifts for my people and myself. Very friendly and they wrap everything so nicely. Visit this store.

This store is so bright and colorful and almost a sensory overload! They always have great trinkets and home décor — really fun stuff — and great sales all the time. The owner is such a nice guy, and the bags are made of really cool tissue paper with a paper rose taped to it. Cool presentation. Love this place!

Alex is the kindest sweetest business owner ever, My house is adorned with many things I have bought here!
This place is stacked with products from all over: Mexico, India, Peru etc. and also includes products and jewelry made by local artists!
I come in to stock up on the amazing incense they carry and always end up buying something for a gift or for my home!
Support this amazing local business and buy alittle something from their carefully curated selection!

Awesome spot to browse and buy some unique gifts and décor.

LOVE THIS PLACE. So many great things and got a few of them. Cant wait to go back. The owner and the gal working there are such nice people too. Just a great establishment

A MUST visit if you’re in Williamsburg. It’s like stepping inside of a Mexican fairytale and there are so many things to look at. There’s beautiful wall art, dangly decorations coming down from the ceiling, sculptures from South America, books, and so many other interesting things. You can easily spend half an hour or more just browsing everything. The staff is also very friendly and helpful as well.

I could tell you about all the awesome Dia de los Muertos stuff they have (sculptures, jewelry, clothing, flasks, etc.), or the incredible collection of local and South American art that adorns every single inch of this place, or the weird and wonderful selection of gifts (beautiful mirrors, costumes, decorative pieces, bags, sculptures, etc.)…
But what I really love about Fuego 718 is:
1. The weird and wonderful selection of books.
Who doesn’t need a Cannabis Cookbook, or how to have Fun Without Dick & Jane? I know I would like to read up on the Three-​Martini Playdate, if only to relive childhood memories. Best of all, they sell notebooks that say «Fucking Brilliant» on the cover, which I can only assume ensure that everything I write in them will be fucking brilliant.
2. The Staff.
The owner (Alex, I believe) is just a sweetheart who sells a lot of awesome stuff. And one time I came in and the girl behind the counter actually rushed over and apologized for not having any music playing. And then she put on some delightful music.
I like this shop.

I work part time at Fuego and would like to say here that we are NOT AN ART SUPPLY STORE!!! we do have a great selection of journals but no pens/​paints/​candlemaking supplies, etc.
I am so sorry to disappoint the customers who call and especially those who show up looking for materials, the closest is Artist & Craftsman on Metropolitan Ave.

The one store I always want to go back to whenever I’m in Williamsburg! I could seriously spend hours in this store, and it seems like I spot something new every time I’m there. I can’t say enough great things about the staff: they are so friendly and knowledgeable about all of the beautiful, worldly items they have here.
I was lucky enough to be there this past weekend, while they were having a great sale; I scored an amazing mirror for 40% off!
Will definitely be back soon for one of the cute hanging sloths they just got in Costa Rica.

This shop reminds me of South Street in Philly. A one-​stop shop for all things cool gifts for everyone on your list (including yourself). It was hard not to walk out of here with bags full of stuff.
I immediately began taking photos as everything was so cool and the owner approached me so I would stop taking photos. I told him it was for Unilocal and he said… in that case, snap away! I still felt weird though so I just shopped after that. The owner was SO SWEET and full of tons of information. He loves to talk though so once you strike up a convo, you will be there for a while. It’s awesome to hear all about the local artists though.
Everything really had a sense of love, being made from the heart. I grabbed some small gifts and a pair of gorgeous earrings and handmade paper for an art project. There was a huge sale going on at the time which I am pretty sure happens a lot so you must stop in.
