Tiny Doll House

I have been going to the Tiny Doll House since I was a very small child. Leslie, the owner, is incredibly knowledgeable about design and decor and amazingly imaginative when it comes to sourcing the proper elements for a new project. It’s such a joy to have pieces still in my collection from 22 years ago that look good as new.

This place is so random but so cute! I’ll be honest I’m not super I but I doll houses but even if you are not I would just wander in here to look around because it’s such a sight to see! Everything’s as so well made and so cute! If I was building a doll house or crafts I would come here. It’s pricier but good quality.

Brought my daughters here to shop when we were in town from colorado in 2022 and found some cute things, but very overpriced. Stopped in today to shop for them for Christmas, 15 min before closing and the owner wouldn’t let us in despite the store being open. Her store was packed and we asked to take a quick loop before she closed since we were just visiting town and she said “no.” We won’t be back or give her our business again.

This store is quite a museum! Wonderful dollhouses and miniature objects to see! 🥰

The displays are beautiful but I didn't have a good shopping experience. I asked for a bathroom set which was bagged for me. Only when I got home did I notice the faucets were very bent, the toilet scratched, and the package was stapled (probably returned by someone else). I live too far to return it and later realized the same exact set was $15 cheaper at hobby lobby. Also a lot of things do not have a price but vary from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars which makes it difficult to shop there. I would say if you are visiting do your research and inspect the items very carefully before you buy.

Really cool shop in NYC. The halloween collection was awesome.

I love this shop and the folks who work here; they have a nice supply of houses, furnishings, food and keep adding all the time. It's a joy to walk in and see if my "houses" need anything--a new miniature book, new cake, new plants for the outdoors, new rake, holiday decorations like pumpkins, tacos or lobsters to eat, musical instrument, dog or dog bed, bird or birdhouse, you name it; they have it. My two houses--one a fancy townhouse and one a rustic log cabin--have given me and my family such pleasure, far better than sitting in front of a computer, especially during the pandemic.'The staff is delightful and helpful.

As many countless shops that you can find in Manhattan, yet this is the only one I've found that is a truly dedicated miniature shop. Nice selection of furniture, with wide range of prices from very reasonable to high end. Beautifully intricate 1:12 dolls, but prepare to pay for the high quality of those. Gorgeous window displays, too! I got the cabinet on the left side of the attached photo for $20, and the little guy sitting in the chair for only $12 (made of resin, this is not one of the more expensive intricate ones).

Tiny Doll House was amazing and unlike its adjective, "Tiny," its inventory is incredibly huge, as well as unbelievably magnificent, detailed, and highly selective. Most of all, the inventory is specially curated, with many items being one-of-a-kind from world famous artisans in the field. My brother-in-law first introduced me to the place by bringing me some lovely pieces from his trip to New York City which brought a smile to my face during a very difficult time in my life. Then he took me to New York months later to personally introduce me to Tiny Doll House. Well, Mr. VISA was nearly smoking when I got done with my purchases. I am quite the aficionado when it comes to miniatures and dollhouse accessories...Tiny Doll House DID NOT DISAPPOINT!

The only real dollhouse miniatures store in NYC! Incredible stuff, all handmade, with some hard-to-find mini construction materials in the back like 1:12 scale wooden crown moulding, windows, stairs, tonnnns of 1:12 scale LED lights.

Recently found this store for a small project that needed a miniature park bench. This store is filled with beautifully sourced miniature items that range from colonial kitchen to mid-century inspired furniture. The store manager told me that the owner has been in this business for 40 years and typically travels all around the world to source the best miniature pieces for his store. If you need anything for a doll house they got it! Period light fixtures yes, plants yes, furniture yes! (And much more!) Definitely give them a call if you are looking for something specific.

Really great shop, so many pieces including vintage. It is expensive so you have to be committed to miniatures.

Tiny Doll House is owned by Leslie Edelman and offers literally a beautiful world of everything miniature! From dollhouses to furniture, tea sets to board games, charcuterie to seasonal decor, and tiny cakes to musical instruments, you really can find any and everything a dollhouse or a miniature collector would need! I was recently gifted precious items from here (a pink pig tea pot, a Chinese take-out box filled with lo mein noodles and a pair of chopsticks, and a pug with a dog bed) - I absolutely LOVE THEM!!! The details and the cuteness of these items are unreal, and I can't wait to add to the collection! Definitely a gem of a place to visit, to gift or to add to your own private collection! +miniatures galore!

I recently discovered the world of dollhouses and miniatures which led me to Tiny Doll House on the Upper East Side. If you've never been, it's a visual treat for the eyes. They sell dollhouses and just about every accessory and furnishing under the sun. Miniature cakes, cereal, beds, doors, even tiny bars of soap - they have it all. I've purchased tiny pasta, sauce, cereal, wine bottles, mirrors and farmhouse crates. Their focus is primarily on classic dollhouses, so if you're looking for new and modern decor, it's a little tough. Prices are actually on par with the miniature market, which is to say, pricey. If you think about it though, the labor and detail involved with making things in such small scale is high, so the prices reflect that. The hours are really structured for people who work from home or have time during the day to visit, which is a bit of a bummer. Even if they were open past 5 one day a week it would be great for those of us who work full time but still love our miniatures. The only other thing I'd mention is the staff. While they are very nice, the multiple times I've stopped by I've had one of two experiences: 1) I've asked if something is available (say, a mailbox) and was told no, only to find it myself while rummaging through one of their boxes. It's too bad they don't have a better way to track supplies. 2) I make my own dollhouses and since their business model is most successful if you buy one of their's, they are not as enthusiastic to help DIYers such as myself. If you're coming to buy supplies to build your own dollhouse, do your research ahead of time since they are hesitant to share their knowledge. One tip - there is a wall in the back right corner filled with wooden dowels, baseboards, etc. so you can definitely buy your own pieces and create things on your own.

Don't go here if you are a minority. They make sure you don't feel welcomed in the store. I went in looking for items for my son's diorama and no one helped me but instead eyed me like my money didn't spend there. It's unfortunate since I contacted someone via social media days before. Sad that we live in a international city like New York and racism still is alive and well in some.

This is a stellar, stellar dollhouse store -- one of the few lasting! The selection is great, and the set up is very conducive to finding lots of treasures. The store includes the smallest little items to many options for dollhouses and room boxes. The woman who was working here on this past Friday was also really sweet and nice to speak with. Definitely worth checking out!

I follow this place on Instagram so I was excited to visit. It's small but packed with everything you could need. Expensive though but that wasn't a surprise.

This is an amazing little shop full of treasures, but the owner was on a private phone call the entire time (20 minutes) we were there. We were the only customers. Between my love of dollhouses and my daughter's obsession with role play, I was prepared to buy her a beautiful house for her upcoming birthday. I'll take my money elsewhere.

Seriously? I walked here from the museum to find they are closed Saturday and Sunday in the summer? Guess you're not really in it for the business based on your hours.

Even though it's an itty bitty store it only holds teeny weeny things so I felt like I was in a humongous miniature wholesale mart. As I entered and browsed around the lady at the register was talking really loudly on the phone with someone in Spanish the whole time and didn't seem to pay too much attention to me, which was awesome, because I was able to poke and prod around stress free for as long as I wanted. A few miniatures are behind glass, but for most of the pieces, I was able to just pick them up and take a closer look at them. Was close to just buying some just for the heck of coolness, but just cuz these things are smaller doesn't mean they're less expensive hah.

So glad I found this place. Actual dollhouse stores are so hard to find. The hours are definitely limited but the selection of one of a kind items is great. So many beautiful artisan quality pieces. I will be back

These are the store hours for Tiny Dollhouse as of July 2011 Mon-Thurs: 11:00 to 4:30 Fri: 11:00 to 3:00 Sat-Sun: closed I'm posting them here because there aren't any store hours on the website and the ones listed on Google are flat out wrong. I made a special trip to come last Saturday, thinking they closed at 5:00 pm, when really they were closed all weekend.

This store will take any woman back to childhood, and fulfill the dreams of little girls everywhere. You can spend hours in here just looking at the dollhouses, the models, the miniature furniture, and even dollhouse-sized bags of M&Ms (which, oddly, cost more than the real thing). These are the dollhouses you always wanted, not Barbie's Dream Home. Prepared to be amazed.

If your into doll houses or even if your not this place is a great browse. The store is quite small but all the dollhouse accessories are interesting to look at.

This place was even creepier than this grown man walking around it admiring the handiwork that went into the goods here.

Wow what a great shop for dollhouses and accessories. I shop here frequently, the staff is knowledgeable as well as creative and super helpful with tips and tricks. When I bought my daughters dollhouse I was clueless as to what I was getting myself into but they help guide me and in spite of any desire they may have had to make a big sale, they advised me to take my time, it's not a race, it's a project you should enjoy and build upon over time with my daughter and that's exactly what I've done. It's now just over two years later and the dollhouse is complete with every imaginable detail and I could've never accomplished it without the help of this shop and it's staff. I would highly recommend this store to both novice and experienced hobbyists.

I don't do dollhouses, but the adorable and amazing miniatures here make the best browsing in 5 miles.

this place is really a trip. you walk in and find yourself in a smaller world, full of miniature versions of everything from potato chips to pay phones to baroque settees. i have a job that involves miniatures, so i am lucky enough to be able to shop here pretty often and expense my purchases of little tiny mr. peanut swizzle sticks (only half an inch long, and about $5) and moody boudoir lighting (black leather lamp- really works- 35$). the people who own this place say that their selection varies from week to week. so the only thing that's sort of frustrating about it is that say one week you see a great set of liquor bottles and you remember it for future reference- and then a project comes up where you need a set of miniature liquor bottles. well, you might go back to get it only to find that they aren't carrying it that week. but here is one thing that's for sure. if you go in here, you WILL find something you didn't know you needed- even if you don't find what you came there for. what is it about miniatures that is so seductive to us? it is a fascinating phenomenon. and this is the only place in manhattan to explore it. (fao schwartz has a crappy selection, but re-ment at toy tokyo will also fill the void that exists in our normal-scale world)
