The folks who…read moreappeared to actually work there are sweet and helpful, however; having to listen to five of your friends having shallow conversation about what's trending in LA, making fun of each other for mispronouncing brand names, and asking whether they should shot gun a beer in the store was killing the vibe... They were also blocking access to two entire racks and even made a joke about it but didn't move. I was so drained from the experience that I didn't feel it was worth asking them to move. Such a shame because I was really excited to support this shop and saw items that interested me on those inaccessible racks. I hope this review will change things moving forward. Don't let your friends block your blessings. You have potential for greatness!

When I got up to the counter it wasn't there. Another person took it and paid for it. When I asked him where it was, he said he thought that was my family (because we are both Asian?) and sold it to someone else, in literally less than 2 minutes. Not good customer service and slightly racist.

It has been nine years since I first wrote a review for Espacio 1839 so it's time for an update…read more Still five stars. In fact, it is a STRONG five stars. This gallery/community space/boutique/gift shop had endured the pandemic and a shaky economy, STILL holding space for events that fortified, uplift and support the neighborhood and community. This is the place where you can catch a live music show, listen to poetry, meet authors and learn about their latest book release, look at art and find a new art piece for your home and buy the most unique gifts around. Their space is filled with local artists, but traditional and modern, unique clothing line, progressive books and items that are hard to get. This place is too good to gatekeep and the prices are very fair and reasonable. For their art shows, they take care of their artists by waiving a commission fee and collaborating with local business to treat them with a dinner and drink. In a city where galleries feel cold and transactional, Espacio 1839 sets the bar for the art scene. Come by, grab your next book, buy presents for your loved ones and start your art collection.
