For it to be so small they still have lots of stationery goodies to select from. Service is friendly and they do their best to get you taken care of once you are at the register. It has the standard items that you would find in a stationery shop as well as quaint gift items. There is a parking lot across the street and street parking too. Respectfully Reviewed.

They carry well-known journal brands like Hobonichi's and Traveler's notebooks. I was even surprised to see a small selection of Pilot fountain pen cartridges. This location is smaller, as their main store is in downtown Santa Ana. I'm super excited to visit their main location next time!

I like the variety and quality of tea. The beautiful tea pots and porcelain tea service trays of sandwiches are so elegant, as well. The outdoor dining on the patio is inviting and the service provided by the staff was exceptional. I've never had any difficulties in getting the attention of a waitress. Highly recommend morning lavender café.

M.Lovewell is an independent stationery store located in Downtown Santa Ana near 4th Street Market…read moreand the shop hosts various creative workshops. This flagship brick-and-mortar location first opened in 2016 and M.Lovewell used to have a mini location inside Contra Coffee + Tea in Old Towne Orange (now closed). At the end of each July, the store offers Anniversary Weekend sales with an additional 20% off most items. [Parking]: There is a parking structure across the street for 4th Street Market. I had no issue finding free street parking in this part of town on Sunday afternoon. [Selection]: There was a tote-making station for a $25 DIY tote (choose a tote color and one patch, tell the staff where you want it, and the staff will iron it on for you) and Build a Washi Tin for $44 (limited-edition 10-year washi tin and choose eight washi tapes to fit inside the tin). I was quite impressed with the cute stationery selection including planners, pens (Tombow ABT PRO Alcohol Markers + Zebra's MILDLINER) from brands like Sarasa, Penco, Zebra, Mono, and Uni-ball, writing paper (MD Paper), cases and pouches from The Superior Labor, greeting cards, stickers, stamps, watercolor boards, Toyo toolboxes, etc. They even offer really fancy pens from brands like OHTO as well as $200+ fountain pens and inks for fountain pens. They have tester pens for customers to try out. On their website, customers can preorder The Hobonichi Techo for new releases for the upcoming year. [Conclusion]: Overall this shop focuses more on Japanese stationery brands (they do not sell MUJI here) and personally this is one of the best pure stationery shops in Orange County. I like this store much better than places like Shorthand, Baum-kuchen, or The Social Type in Los Angeles.

CUTE INDEPENDENT SHOP (4 stats)…read more There isn't much happening in downtown Santa Ana but there are a few hidden gems. Did I overhear that this place has been open for ~10 years?! I stumbled upon this shop while walking around the small downtown and as I walked more east I questioned should I turn around? Right when I was able to this store popped in view and I had to go in! What a cute shop if you are into stationary and pens and etc. I love supporting small independent businesses so I was determined to leave with something. There were a collective of independent products from different companies/artists that sell their items here. I didn't expect to leave spending $70.05 on 5 tiny items. WAX SEAL ($20) - by Made of Honour. There weee a handful of styles available. Very nice packaging. SEALING WAX BEADS 100pc ($9) - by Fiona Ariva. Variety of stunning colors. WAX SEAL HANDLE ($9) - by Fiona Ariva. I believe this is the standard size that fits other brands. BOAT PEN CASE ($13) - by Luddite. I been looking for a small compact pen case for my very few ones that i own and this was what I was looking for. ANTERIQUE BALLPOINT PEN ($13) - I love this mini pen and how it writes. The store DOES sell anterique refills BUT not the mini anterique refills that is needed for this pen. You can order the refills online on Amazon. So here's what gets me about shopping here. - California State Tax (0.5%) - Orange County Tax (0.25%) - Santa Ana City Tax (15%) - Orange County District Tax SP (0:5%) - Orange County Tax SL (1%) ^^ Added an additional $5.95 to the initial subtotal. That's alot in my opinion! Cool store, with a checkout. Until the next review....

Service I'm guessing is highly dependent on the workers because when my husband and I entered, both immediately just glared at us... that was the greeting, it was bad vibes especially for an empty shop. So yes, awkward. It's an eclectic mix of items here, some neat trinkets, and skewing toward Latinx arts and crafts, which is nice and different to see, but overall the vision unfocused and lacking. That, combined with the notably cold service, makes me totally uninterested in stepping foot inside again.

Met Irma -owner of the place (second generation downtown biz owner) what a hoot! Turns out i ended up buying a hot Polka Dotted number for night out on the Town and a few accessories (hats,jewelry,scarves). I make it a point to go in every week to check the selection of the latest baubles and such. Now shes added a $1 table - I load up! Like the fact that shes open past 6 when all the other shops close- that way you can stop in before or after cocktails downtown.

The Ao Dais here are the most modern and the most trendy ones coming straight from Vietnam!…read more Value : The fabric is so silky & breathable, I wore mine to so many different events and will definitely go back for more in the upcoming years. I have purchased from this store before and have reworn their ao dais on numerous occassions! Definitely great value for a great price! This specific Ao Dai was $60 but for the fabric, it's well worth the cost. No scratchy fabric, no weird creases, only some light steaming needed to straighten out the fabric. Flexibility : The store style is super accomodating and offers in house measurements to get the perfect Ao Dai for your size. Social media presence is strong : I also love that you can find things that you like on their Facebook page, send in your measurements and request to have it saved on the side for pick up. Overall : Great quality supplies, super fast, convenient & friendly service.

I get all hyped up with my Kpop love for my bias (group). The place is clean, bright, and the staff is really nice. They are smiling! It's a better value to buy stuff here than the Ktown place, where individual photo cards are like $5+.

You can choose from blind boxes to tees to plushies to kitchen and home goods, believe it or not. This store reminds me of my bedroom as a single person, packed with toys in every nook and cranny. Give yourself a good amount of time to check out all that you can. Go through the store twice, because chances are, you will miss something the first time around. I love all the fun Miffy and Monchhichi items available. And there are other popular characters like the Peanuts gang, Moomin, and the newest edition Zilly Tales created by Zillymonkey. The store is pretty well-stocked...until it sells out - worst feeling ever! Pricing is subjective. Black Friday prices were pretty cool. Anyway, you can order online too and pick up in-store. Service is super friendly. Parking is plenty. Happy shopping!

While you won't find high quality pieces here, you can find a necklace or something you need for a particular outfit or informal occasion without breaking the bank. Some of the items border on hideous, but there were some necklaces decent enough that I found a couple to buy and got compliments on them. This would be a fun place to take a preteen to, since each item is only a dollar. In the case of you get what you pay for, if you are selective with your choices, you can get more than what you pay for here! I'm a fan because for the price, this is a cool place. Just remember you are only paying a dollar!

I noticed the employee following me through several aisles, and then security came into the store. After I made my purchase and left, I noticed security followed me outside as well. I completely understand that theft is a concern, but the way this was handled made me feel singled out and targeted. I couldn't comfortably browse or shop without feeling watched. This experience makes feel me hesitant to return.
