The owners are involved in the community and care about making the South Bay a welcoming space. As a gay family in Hermosa it can feel sometimes like we are the only ones, but when my kids see the rainbows and pride on our usual walk from the beach up Pier Ave, I know we have settled in the right place to raise our family and are so grateful for neighbors like Curious making our little beach community feel like home.

Neither of us have visited in over 25 years and were looking forward to a trip this month. We've had to cancel our trip three times due to covid. Sadly, we just cancelled again. Blessedly, Treasure Chest came to the rescue! I checked out their website and ordered two Hermosa Beach-related items to give to my sister. The owner Darren was incredibly responsive to questions I had and made sure I received my items prior to my sister's birthday. She is going to love this beautiful mug! And I wound up ordering a second coaster to keep for myself; and it comes with that cute little black stand! Customer service is sadly lacking sometimes, so it is particularly appreciated when the customer is made to feel valued. Check them out!

Answer - it's a Canadian chain but on my recent trip discovered a part of the village that I never knew existed as looking at the directory one of the shops was a Black Clover sportswear store known for their symbol of a clover on their clothing. Besides this shop was a series of small shops which included a Macys. The plaza has two free parking garages on opposite sides of the village. Different restaurant chains are plentiful in this village and that is what I like after a long day of work.

There is…read moresuch a great mix of items to browse, from serving pieces and local beach themed goods to plush animals, ornaments, coffee table books, blankets, and frames. You get the idea, it is the kind of place where you always find something interesting. Sure, you can probably find similar items online for a few dollars less, but that is not the point. It feels good to shop in person, take your time, and pick out something meaningful for a loved one instead of just opening another Amazon box. I picked up a Manhattan Beach puzzle for my in-laws and a California dish towel for a friend who moved to the East Coast to be closer to her children, both made for really thoughtful, personal gifts. The store has a warm, well-curated feel, and the employees have always been friendly and helpful. I love this shop and am happy to support a great local small business. Places like this are what make the neighborhood feel like a community. 5 stars for me.

Please take your business somewhere else…read more Our group was casually shopping while our kids held onto two plushies they planned on buying. They weren't running around, making a mess, or being disruptive in any way. We were all simply browsing the store like normal paying customers. So when an employee came up and told our kids to put the plushies back, it honestly made no sense. If customers can't hold onto items while they shop, maybe that should be posted somewhere. We didn't make a scene -- we just left. But the interaction felt unnecessary, unwelcoming, and honestly pretty off-putting. A decent-sized store should probably know how basic shopping works.

Unfortunately, the checkout experience left me feeling disappointed. A couple prices being adjusted on the spot is understandable, but having tags removed and being quoted significantly higher prices felt uncomfortable and unexpected. One used purse was priced close to (or above) what I could purchase it for new at a regular retail store, and it wasn't a vintage item. It genuinely hurt to leave the items behind because I loved what I found. I just couldn't move forward with pricing that felt inconsistent. I hope the shop can work toward more transparent pricing, as it really is a lovely space with so much potential.
