*** Pop-up shop review... Vendorama CA, baby! ***…read more This event occurs every second Saturday of each month from 11AM-4PM. ENVIRONMENT Several local and surrounding area vendors set up their own canopies and tables on the concreted area next to St. Marks Episcopal School. It's completely outdoors in a nice area of the 90241 zip code. When they aren't making announcements, they have fun music on the stereo. SERVICE Most of the vendors are very friendly. THE GOODS Each time I see such a wide variety of products and items for sale including clothes, jewelry, baked goods, fruit juices, jerky, candy, plants, candles, aguachile, street tacos, coffee & tea, mask chains, hair accessories, skin treatments, and much more. MY FAVORITE PART... Supporting the locals especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. These people are doing this as their hobbies, but also for the extra income... please support them if at all possible! NOT SO FAVORITE PART... I like to know how much items are clearly and quickly. PARKING Free street parking or the Our Lady of Perpetual Help School lot has free spaces across the street. TIPS + While admission is free, patrons are not allowed in without a mask during COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. + They often have raffles later in the afternoon. OVERALL I try to make it each month even though it was fairly difficult last year with the pandemic. Hopefully 2021 will exceed all of our expectations. | Goods: 5 | Service: 4.5 | Environment: 4.5 | Prices: 4.5 |

Walking into POP MART feels like stepping into a world where everything is next-level adorable…read more.. and next-level expensive.Honestly, I'd hate to be a parent in here because every single item is tempting. It's one of those stores where you look around and think, "Okay, I don't need this... but I definitely want it."Now, I'll be real--the whole blind box/surprise box concept isn't really my thing. The idea of having to keep buying boxes just to hopefully get the one you actually want? Yeah... that would drive me a little crazy. BUT... then I saw the Snow White piece. And wow. I'm obsessed. They had this huge Snow White art/toy display that completely pulled me in. Do I need to spend over $1,000 on a collectible art toy? Absolutely not. Do I want to? Also yes.Luckily, they had a smaller version for around $300, which still feels like a splurge... but way more within reach (kind of ). Guess I just need to start playing the lottery--fingers crossed. Super fun store to browse, even if you're just window shopping and dreaming a little.

What a lovely store. I normally go to the Pop Mart in South Coast Plaza which always feels crowded…read moreand overwhelming. This location is much more spacious which allows you to browse much longer. I got a Hirono blind box and a Nyota plush.

We hired Vanessa for my sister in law's baby shower, and she was truly amazing! The weather was…read moreterrible that day. It was storming, muddy, and chaotic, but she stayed positive the entire time during setup and throughout the event. Due to the rain she had limited space to setup and was able to do it so gracefully. Her attitude was so sweet, polite, and easy-going, which took a lot of stress off of us. She served about 50-75 guests, and everyone loved the coffee being brewed fresh to order. Multiple people complimented how good everything tasted! Another thing I appreciated is that she even offered a tasting before we hired her, which showed how professional and confident she is in her work. Overall, such a great experience. Highly recommend!

Don't get me wrong! It's a great place for merch and has had a lot of great pop ups recently! The…read morestaff is usually amazing and super efficient. The reason why I'm giving it a 3 out of 5 is because of a bad experience today with the door person. We came in today, July 19th around the afternoon, about 3-4 PM. I understand their bag policy, it sucks but what can you do. We were very compliant with the doorman, but he seemed to have an attitude. Listen man, I get that it's hot and you may be having a day, but that doesn't mean you get to be rude. We went in, and immediately he needed to take our bags. We complied cause it's policy, and I politely told him "oh I have a small bag!" As in to tell him we have another bag to give him. He took it the wrong way and said "trust me I don't want to take it more than you do" under his breath. Buddy, I can hear you. I didn't even say it in a rude way, I'm just informing you that there was another bag. Whatever, we handed all our bags over, one of which was a bag carrying some merchandise (mainly some posters we purchased from another event we came from) mind you, there was 4 posters from a limited time event in there, worth $65. He asked "what's in the bag" all judgmental, like buddy, I get you need to know so you know where to place it on the shelf, but there is such a thing as asking in a nicer way like "is there anything delicate in here" or such. I told him it was some posters I had got. So. TELL ME WHY THIS GUY PUT THE BAG WITH THE POSTERS LAYING FLAT DOWN FIRST AND THEN PROCEEDED TO PUT OUR HEAVY BACKPACK AND OUR SMALLER BAG ON TOP OF IT. BUDDY. YOU ARE USING A METAL RACK SHELF, AND PUTTING HEAVY ITEMS ON TOP OF PAPER. SOME OF IT WAS EVEN ON THE EDGE SO YOU'RE ACTIVELY CREASING AND BENDING MY BELONGINGS. Anyone should know if you have anything fragile like posters, you would put it on top of the other bags so they do not get folded or creased or get and indents. I quickly told him if he can put the bag with the posters on top because I don't want them to get creased or bent. He doesn't say anything and just quickly does it, but he made a face. Buddy, if you don't like your job or can't do it well enough to know common sense like not putting delicates under heavy items, quit and go find something else, and leave your attitude at the OUTSIDE the door. I went home after this, and saw that all of four of my posters were creased in the same spot, coincidentally the same spot that was bent over the edge of the shelf. I don't care if they're posters and they can be replaced, not everyone has the luxury to replace broke items, especially not limited ones, I spent my hard earned money on it for it to be permanently ruined by some boy who doesn't care about other people's belongings despite being entrusted to handle them. Anyways, come for the merch! But maybe leave your valuables someplace where you know they'll be safe from damage.

It looks like their specialty is definitely cheesecakes, as they had a large variety of premade options displayed and ready for purchase. For the flavor, we went with a simple strawberry cheesecake, and I would say it was good. Personally, it didn't blow me away, but it was still a solid cheesecake overall. This was one of the few spots open before 12 PM at Nixon Plaza, so it definitely had a steady line of people coming in to grab drinks and bread.

I wasn't a big fan of the matcha drink; the matcha flavor wasn't there, though the foam topping was nice. I tried the banana pudding because it was recommended, but it was pretty bland and not tasty at all, smh. One bright spot: their cookies are excellent and worth stopping in for.
