My little brother was playing with one of the Labubu hair products when an employee came up to him and said, "You've had enough fun. Let's not ruin the product." We understood and immediately stopped. After that, though, the employee kept following us around the store, which made us feel very uncomfortable. My brother eventually said, "You don't need to follow us around." The employee then mumbled, "Why don't you shut the f**k up." When my brother asked him what he said, the employee denied it and claimed he was just doing his job. He then asked where our parents were. I called my parents over, and as soon as they arrived, the employee ran into the employee room. When my parents asked about him, another employee claimed she didn't know who we were talking about. This was strange because we had just seen the two employees talking before he went into the back. Another customer who overheard the conversation said they only heard the employee tell my brother not to mess with the products, but that wasn't the issue. The problem was that he followed us around the store and, from what we heard, cursed at my younger brother. I don't know whether he was profiling us, being discriminatory, or simply being rude, but his behavior was completely unprofessional. There was no reason to follow us around the store or speak to a child that way. Customer service like this is unacceptable. For reference, the employee was an older man with a brown beard. Unfortunately, I didn't catch his name.

I was really surprised by all the variety, like clothes for adults, kids and dogs! They also have a mix of handmade items too. I got so inspired by the section with all the party decorations. It's a great place to browse and get ideas too. A couple of the reasons why I'm not giving 5 stars include the fact that I went for their self-care Sunday "event" - which even had free tickets on the Eventbrite. I am still very confused regarding the marketing of this "event". They had 1 booth to make your own floral bouquets and then a small Halloween backdrop for kids/animals. I didn't see anything self care related and it felt more like a ploy to get you to shop. I was hoping for a station with face masks, nail painting, charm bracelets, etc. I thought it would be more of a pop up type event. Either vendors dropped out or it wasn't actually an event. I still am unsure. The second thing to note is that it really felt like no one was working in the store. I saw one employee at the cash register, and that was it. Especially since it was an "event", I anticipated a warmer greeting or an explanation about the event. They had a box of donuts that said "help yourself" and some waters. Outside they had coffee and we paid $8 for a small, that was very small. The shop itself is a mix of various vendors - some homemade and some store bought. It did feel a bit overpriced at times and hard to determine which were actually handmade. But, it is an opportunity to help small businesses owners versus ordering from Amazon! The last positive to mention is that they offer a variety of crafts and classes on certain days and I'm really looking forward to checking that out.

Recently Pen Pals Stationery and Gift Shop opened another location in Fountain Valley. [Parking]: The LAB Anti-Mall has a designated parking lot, but finding a spot can be hit-or-miss depending on what time you visit.

What a nice way to end the evening. If you're around Tustin Skatepark, you should check them out as that's where they frequent. Luckily today they were over at the Costa Mesa airplane park!

His energy truly put me in a better mood! He also helped me take my bags to the car since I got quite a bit which was unexpected and much appreciated! Now the food--I'm not gluten free myself but I used to be to manage PCOS hormonal imbalances, and this by far has been the best gluten free spot I've had. I took several items to a picnic with gluten eaters and everyone asked where it was from and were shocked to hear it was gluten free. Every item was a hit! They have some vegan items as well! Definitely worth checking out at their storefront or farmer's markets! My favorites so far: - chocolate chip banana bread: so moist and flavor packed. this alone is something I'd keep coming back for. The regular banana bread is fantastic too! - seasonal apple walnut bread/boule: favorite of the breads I've tried! I sliced it to freeze it and kept eating more and more as I was packing it. The breads have a lot of bounce to them. - brownies and chocolate chip cookies: just wow, both are thick and chewy, cookies are the perfect level of sweet and chocolaty - fruit tart: the tart shell is not too thick, just enough to hold the custard and fruit and have the flavor of the shell pull it all together. The fruit was super fresh and custard was perfect - coffee cake: perfect sweetness! - chocolate boule: I toasted it and ate it with some natural peanut butter, yum! The bread itself isn't sweet whereas the apple one seemed to be sweeter from the natural sugars in the apple - veggie crepe (frozen to go): I followed his instructions on how to cook and easily took it on the go to eat while driving. Overall--Will definitely be coming back. Great people, great and fresh high quality food!
