We were looking for shirts and boots, and a very amiable lady (employee) came to us and helped us make a decision on our purchases. All employees were so helpful in directing us to what we wanted. A very polite and helpful young man helped us with our hiking boots purchase, even helping us by answering our question of what color of shirt do you think goes with our cotton flannels. At check out we were helped by a very personable young man named Brian, giving us more information about discounts, and membership to receive emails of upcoming deals at L.L.Bean. Thanks to you all.
They closed the one in Columbia and I was sad but this location surely made up for it. I was impressed by the selection and they had two floors. I didnt see an elevator, I am sure they had one...hopefully. On the second floor there were more items for ladies and there were shoes. I only bought. Keychain of the duck boot. I was looking for boots but they didnt have what I was looking for today. The staff was very friendly
Its an LL Bean, which to say is predictable in their offering, variety and price. Beautiful store in a great location but its still just LL Bean.
Service was awesome and they had what we wanted. What more can you ask for? Person at the front of the store sent us to the right department and person at the department knew her products. As good as Nordstrom.
We were here last week and I was disappointed to see NONE of the employees wearing masks. I understand that they are likely vaccinated, and this is consistent with CDC guidance, but things are changing quickly with the Delta variant and in general, customers have different levels of risk tolerance. And I was there with my 11-year-old unvaccinated child. I would expect more from LL Bean on the health/safety front.
Staff is helpful and friendly like always. Scored a couple of great deals from sale racks. Highly recommend.
Very helpful, friendly staff. Paula is awesome!
Right across the street from REI, is LL Bean in the heart of the Pike and Rose real estate wet dream. Good outdoor clothing and gear, great service and pretty high prices. You get what you pay for.
Good product selection. Their prices are on the upper end, but the quality is excellent. I recommend being patient for specials and deals if you can wait for it. Staff at this store is exceptionally friendly, patient and very helpful. They are also very easy to find!
I enjoyed the vibe of this location...Just go and experience for yourself. Lots and lots of stores/restaurants to pick from.
Jackson was amazing in locating a cashmere sweater for me and shipping quickly for my birthday! He was so upbeat & professional, and I so appreciated the amazing customer service he gave me! Wonderful store!! I highly recommend shopping at this LLBean location.
Very attractive store and well laid out for shoppers. Staff is friendly and helpful. Convenient parking. We were there shortly after Christmas so they didnt have all merchandise in every size, but the sale prices were good.
Looking for political shirts. Nothing inspiring. Store and people were very nice.
L.L. Bean is 100% better than REI. Reasonable prices, great products, and staff that are helpful and pleasant! This has turned into our go to store!
Is awesome friendly and very helpful salespeople
Great customer service.
Great location, great service, clean.
Great service. Wonderful well made clothes and other assorted items. Worth every penny. Every LL Bean clothing, whether jackets, shirts, boots have lasted for years.
Nice stuff, and they were very helpful. but a bit over priced - but my teacher discount helped!
Two efficient, kind, and honest sales people helped 3 of us try on clothing with much patience. Thank you for keeping your dressing rooms open.
Disappointed they did not have the shoes I wanted on display. tired of buying things on line that dont fit properly or look good and then you have to return them.
My only complaint is that this store is too small. LLBean had great outdoor clothes, tools, shoes and boots, everything. Their return policy is amazing and they totally know their stuff.
Welcoming and Very Helpful
Good clothing. I go here for outdoor-typs fashion. A bit pricey.
Ive been buying online and going to LLBean stores, for about the last 40 years. I was only too glad to see this particular store go up only 20 minutes from where I live! A their stores are just as good to shop in in person as to buy online from, and this one in Rockville, MD., is no exception!! Great service from whoever offers help, or who you ask help of, and theyll hold stuff for you or order things for you depending on whatever youd like them to do! Great place!!
Very helpful staff, as usual. Easy exchange policy. Love shopping here.
Clean, open, fantastic service.
Enjoy shopping at this L.L. Bean. The staff are friendly and attentive, and it even has a womens petite section.
Horrible company and customer service! They use cheap materials on their backpacks now and will not guarantee them after one year! $100 backpack ripped in a year!!
Beautiful store and location. Staff was extremely helpful.
It’s a great store
Well stocked. Nice clean place.
An institution. The quality of their products remain excellent
Found water shoes for kid with wide feet!
Excellent help and customer service on the phone and in store. Also, great selection
Nice store! I got good customer service here.
Service was great, what I was looking for wasnt on the shelf. The team member went to the back and brought one out but wasnt the right color they brought out 4 more in different colors. Outstanding effort from everyone.
You can get your soles replaced for bean boots at the cashier. $39. They send your boots to Maine for the repair.I bought new hiking boots from upstairs for while I wait for my bean boot repair. The assiocate was very friendly and offered to help without asking and helped me decide in a pair. I got LL Bean hiking boots.
Nice store
We like ll bean products because they last forever. Big needed a bag for camp, and we decided to invest in something better than a cheap bag that might fall apart. We were met by John, who showed him the whole array of colors online, just in case he liked one better than what they had in store. He also helped pick just the right size. Thank you!
Great service and products
They had my shoes easy pick up loved it
On the first Sat. of operations the store was crowded. I thought how can I shop in this mass? I first looked for cords. My husbands size was not on the rack. In a second an employee approached and asked if he could help. In a minute he had my husbands size from the back. Two more different types or styles were offered. A second employee stood by the changing room door to assist in my husbands selections. We ended up buying three pair.Then I suggested we look at shoes. My husband wanted boots. Three employees helped us. We ended up buying a pair. This happened with other items and at checkout. The employees were beyond great. Who ever trained this crew sold a ton of stuff for Bean. Better than the E-site. My congrats.
This is an edit to my original four star review of this place. On 11/26/18, I had an interaction with an employee which has left me feeling so awful that I will not be back to this store.This store has never had employees who go out of their way to be helpful, but they were not rude either.Today, I was shopping and found a pair of gloves that I thought may be good for my brother in law. I found my husband and asked him if he liked the gloves. He did not.The gloves belonged upstairs, and I had already come downstairs. I had no intention of going back upstairs to return the gloves to their location, but I also did not want to leave them laying where they werent supposed to be.I found a clerk, told him I no longer wanted them, and asked that he put them away. The look that he gave me and the tone of his voice when he replied felt like an actual slap across the face. The women standing near had shocked looks on their faces, but none of us said anything. I felt so shocked that he had been so rude especially when I was trying to make his job easier.I will not be back to this store, and I am appalled that L.L. Bean has fostered an environment where they think this behavior is acceptable.
One of the few stores in the DC area. Staff was friendly and helpful. They dont have all items in store but are about to easily order
Great store to shop in now that we are in PHASE II of the pandemic. Great sales going on!
Nice store, not as big as tysons
I love l.l.Bean. I said across the street at the Hilton canopy and decided just to take a walk in and see what they had. The store was really organized. unfortunately I will have very limited time and wasnt able to browse as much as I wanted to.
I’ve been a fan of LL Bean products and a loyal customer for many years. My experience at this store yesterday contradicted my impression of a company that stands by its products and values its customer. Hopefully it was an anomaly.I attempted to return — or have repaired — a jacket I recently purchased for my six year old son. (The jacket had torn as he attempted to dislodge a stuck zipper.)The LL Bean associate at the counter informed me that they only repair footwear and offered no other recourse. I was surprised having been under the impression that LL Bean offered a lifetime guarantee or an otherwise very generous policy regarding the durability of their products. Perhaps I misremembered or the policy had changed. Fine. But I found it hard to believe that a company like LL Bean wouldn’t repair/replace or offer a refund for a product that I had purchased within the last few months and had broken during the course of normal use. And surely if there was some recourse available, the associate would make it known to me. So, as she rung up other items I was purchasing, I googled the policy and learned that the jacket was eligible for return as it had been purchased within the last year.When I asked about the return policy the associate dismissively informed me that yes, I could return it if i could furnish proof of purchase. I responded that I no longer had the receipt and she turned her attention back to finishing the transaction with the other items — again, no proactive effort to find a solution that would accommodate me.After a few seconds it occurred to me that there must be a record of the purchase in my customer profile in their system. So I asked. Sure enough, there was a record and the associate (reluctantly) processed the return. (I also inquired whether I could exchange the jacket for the same one. Ambivalent, she said she’d refund the money to my card and I could purchase it again if I wanted to. No offer to check the price or have someone bring a jacket down from the second floor where it was on display.)I have no complaints about the current repair/return policy which is still more generous than most clothing and outerwear companies. But I was very discouraged and frustrated by this associate’s attitude. Surely she knew from the outset of our interaction that the product was likely eligible for return yet she made no proactive effort to suggest that solution and was very content to have me leave the store with the unwearable LL Bean jacket I had purchased only months earlier.I would hope LL Bean would encourage associates to be proactive and solutions-oriented in their dealings with customers. That certainly wasn’t my experience at this store yesterday.
First time in this store was pleasantly surprised at how great it was - friendly, helpful staff, plentiful dressing room, fun classic rugbys, snacks and chocolates, all kinds of hardware and bags, mud room mats, dog toys, boots, yetis, etc. Large and spacious... parking little challenging.
Nice store. Great goods. Customer rep was cranky despite my charming personality.
Came in here to exchange a jacket but a a guy who claimed to be the manager Tim was passive aggressively not cordial and lacked basic customer service etiquette. Instead of letting us talk, he came up with his own story on what happened and did nothing to remedy the problem. We spent a lot of money on a jacket that was worn once and had a rip in it. He refused to do anything about it. If this were a jacket that had been seriously used and worn I get it. When we asked for his business card he said he didnt have one and when asked for his name he said you can look at my name tag. Im not sure why this dude represents a company such as ll bean. There are a million other brands out there that we can happily go to. Good job Tim! Making ll bean look really good
Very limited outdoor supplies
My absolute favorite clothing brand. Wish they still had a store in Columbia, MD, but dont mind taking a trip down to this store. Pretty good selection on two floors. As with all L.L. Bean stores, the staff is very helpful and polite.
Great addition to the Pike & Rose area. Great selection, easy floor plan, and an even greater staff that is ready and willing to help. Michael was very nice and helped me with picking out a coat while chatting about how much he loved working for LLB. Can’t wait to go again!
Large store with great selections. You can find some good deals if you look around. Parking is tight so get there early.
First time at a LL Bean store. Good overall experience. Two floors and lots of great clothing options for outdoor clothing. Unfortunately they didnt hve my size in the bean boot I went to look for so that was a little disappointing. Other than that, definitely a good addition to the Pike and Rose selection.
Nice clothes, expensive, nice staff, parking is difficult
The customer service at the Bethesda location is great. They were very helpful and just all around nice.
The person who seemed to be the manager was training a new employee and was overwhelmed and stern towards him with her speech along with myself. As I was looking at items around the cash register area she stopped talking to her employee and told me to wait by the rope which was used to direct customers to wait in a line. Only 2 or 3 other customers in the store and no where near the cash register and I wasnt ready to check out yet.
There is a great selection here and the staff is very helpful. I couldnt decide between two pairs of gloves, and the sales associate was kind enough to look up the insulation rating of both pairs to help me make my decision. This place makes me want to take up hiking or snowshoeing as a hobby just to justify wearing all of the cool clothes in the store.
Very nice store!
Nicely laid out. Smaller than Tysons store, but well stocked. Very helpful clerks. Located near REI and lots of other shopping and eating places. And a park.
Able to get a wanted Christmas gift for my spouse.
Im not a fan of this brand, however, this store was clean. One of the cleanest stores Ive ever been in.
Neat and very organized store. Customer Service nia great.
Nice store, clean and organized with good product and friendly helpful.
Nice selection, good quality and fair prices. Cozy atmosphere.
Had all the styles I liked and sizes that fit me
An outdoor themed casual clothes store that plays Gin Blossoms radio on loop always walks a fine line between being a conventional retail establishment and coming off as a surreal walk through a movie set for a low budget high school singing contest.
Cant get a good pair of boots here.more of a city outdoorsy store than a real outfitter. Sad.
Always friendly and helpful. The store is beautiful and knowing ll bean stands behind every product I buy is incredibly comforting.
Kinda bland, more an L.L. Bean clothing outlet than an outdoor store. Having been to HQ up in Maine (which is well worth the visit) this store was honestly kind of a let down.
Great store set up! Very friendly and helpful staff. Located in a fantastic area
Imagine ... finding a 2-story LL Bean right here in Central Maryland! Love it! Great store, great selection!
Great selection for adults, the kids section is a little small.
A beautiful store full of high quality products and very friendly employees.You get what you pay for.
Great place, I dont have to travel all the way to Virginia
Well designed store, friendly staff, great products.
Nice store, good merchandise. A bit over priced
Sales dude was totally helpful in getting the last pair of ladies small sunglasses that were in the wrong box. Made me so happy that I bought a hat. parking is squirrelly if you go at the wrong time of day. Thus all the valet signs ......really ?
I recently visited to purchase some boots and the guy that helped me out was incredibly friendly and helpful. I ended up needing to get a wide, which wasn’t available in store, but the employees were great to help me.
This is not the largest LL Bean in the area, but it has a good selection of clothing and supplies for outdoor activities.
The staff are amazing here and go out of their way to help you!
The new return policy is very restrictive and inflexible. I was unable to return what I thought were high quality shoes that wore out within 6 months.
Had great help with getting new shorts,pants, and shirts. Highly recommend.
I love LLBean but was just window shopping after I saw the prices.
Really like the products offered. Havent been disappointed with the quality yet!
Nice to find brick and mortar store that is in such good shape and has great in store inventory
Time will tell my sons shoes survive! The cutomer service was great
What can I say its L.L.Bean if you are looking to purchase items you know the quality the value and the availability I suggest to do most of it online parking is limited prices are medium to high but you get what you pay for enjoy
LL BEAN is once more operating in MD. Beautiful store and helpful staff (as is customary for LL Bean stores and customer service :)
Terrible shopping experience! High prices and poor quality products. No wonder the place was empty.
Good selection and high quality products.
