Dollar Tree is a go to spot when you are keeping things low budget. It is great for holiday wrapping paper, party decorations, and all the small extras you need when planning something without overspending. If you are hosting a party or putting together something simple, you really cannot beat the value here. It is not about luxury, it is about practicality and price, and for that, this place absolutely delivers. read more

I always come here and end up getting things I didn't know I needed or wanted. I love coming for holiday decor cuz it's so cheap and simple. I love getting the window clings and I ended up finding cute gifts for my sister here. I really hope they keep dollar tree around cuz I miss going to 99 cent stores. read more

Ever since the $.99 store on Harbor Boulevard closed, I've been hunting for a new place to find hidden gems that are affordable, so I was very excited to find this Dollar Tree next to the Post Office in Costa Mesa. My favorite thing to look for is holiday/decorative knick knack type stuff or seasonal stuff, which this store seemed to lack. My husband and I bought some kitchen products however, because of the cheap adhesive that was used to put on the price tag, the glue never came off the products. We even tried GOO gone, which I'm not even sure you're supposed to use on cooking items but ended up having to just return three out of the 10 items we bought due to the price tag sticker issue. They had a lot of good essentials, just not a lot of extra, decorative, and fun items to choose from. The store was clean and seemed well stocked and organized for what they had. read more

I know better than to come to Dollar tree but this is got to be the worst one. The employees are completely inept. You have to ask them to open another lane when there are 15 people in line and one checker and then a new checker comes and can't count money. Never go there again what a waste of time. read more

Cool things you don't see in other dollar tree places atleast where I'm from! Great staff! Most staff is bilangual! Spanish and English! God bless Patty and Daniel! For their great service! God bless you guys! read more

Store seemed a little run down and not very clean inside looked very dingy. The Costa Mesa store was not what I am used to seeing when I shop at the Dollar Tree. read more

Walking into this Dollar Tree felt less like shopping and more like accidentally entering a social experiment on how uncomfortable retail can get. From the moment I stepped inside, the vibe was off. Employees openly chatting, zero awareness, zero urgency, and an unmistakable sense that customers were an inconvenience rather than the reason the store exists. The real chaos happened at closing time. Instead of normal procedures--announcements, courtesy, basic human communication--customers were treated like trespassers who had overstayed their welcome by seconds. No grace. No warning. Just abrupt, rude enforcement that felt personal rather than procedural. I watched someone get embarrassed for simply trying to check out. Not stealing. Not causing problems. Just... shopping. The interaction was unnecessarily hostile and wildly unprofessional, as if the goal was to make an example out of them rather than close the store smoothly. Retail 101: closing time is not an excuse to forget manners. This place doesn't need better prices. It needs leadership, training, and a reminder that customers are people--not obstacles between employees and the exit. Save yourself the discomfort. Go literally anywhere else. read more

Shoutout to Lindsey ! Great customer service and still made time to help me get some balloons for my son's bday while the store being busy. It's nice getting great service after a long day. Thank you read more

Great little place. Super nice homeless man who held the door for every customer named Brad. Offered him something from inside and we started chatting! read more

Now, I don't come into this Dollar Tree often, but I frequent the post office next door. I probably visit this location maybe once a month. I came in today to buy a cheap card for my small nephews birthday. Of course there was only one cashier with a store full of people. Not surprising. That's not the part I'm upset about. It's the part where I watched a cashier ( short, hispanic older lady) greet 2 of the customers in front of me with a smile, asked them if they needed a bag, and said thank you for their purchase and have a great day. Once it was my turn, I wanted to see what she would do. She didn't greet me, didn't acknowledge me at all, didn't give me my total or even ask me if I wanted a bag for my items. The cherry on top was she didn't even say thank you for my purchase like she did with the two guests in front of me. A simple thank you. Just handed me my receipt and proceeded to help the lady behind me and smiled at her and greeted her nicely. Now I used to be in customer service for YEARS and have always greeted the customers I was helping whether I was having a great day or not. This lady was just outright rude and cold. I would hate to feel like I was treated a certain way because of race, but that's what it felt like. It's orange county so it's not surprising. Just a note for the employee who treated me very cold... my dollars are just as green as the person before and after me and spends just the same, so I should be treated just the same! Never going into this location again. read more

I love the dollar tree but this location isn't great. Parking is terrible most of the time but the really bad part is the lines. There is always one cashier with one long line. Today, at almost 5 pm on a Friday, one cashier is open with a line down an aisle. There are at least 3 ladies on the floor stocking merchandise. Same exact situation a few days ago. This makes no sense. read more

Wow! Stopped by and was pleasantly surprised by how organized, calm, and clean the store was. Better staffed than other stores too.

I live close to the store and I have been going there for years . Most of the time it's a nightmare and Lulu the manager is absolutely horrible arrogant and narcissistic . She acts like the world revolves around her and I have probably had a hundred conversations with her and I'm not exaggerating regarding long lines which I have taken pictures of and in the last two or three days I have had major confrontations with her one time I was waiting in line another time somebody charged tried to charge three times a card in front of me and was declined and needed a manager the cashier called for a manager she never showed up I went back to the office she was sitting there with her back door against me she didn't even acknowledge me and I said I've been waiting in line and she did not even respond. I urge anybody that has a problem to the store to email the regional manager as the district manager hasn't helped the email address is D Direct at Dollar tree.com . If you have problems please just send your feedback directly to the regional manager as it seems the people on the lower levels are more worried about getting a paycheck and covering their butts then really doing a good job. I have never had such a poor consistent experience in any store I have ever shopped that in my life and I'm sure if you go there with any frequent basis you will agree with me . Please take pictures and document and provide complaints so that the management can see how many people are experiencing the problems just like me I'm not asking for special treatment I'm just asking to be respected and obviously the store and some of it's employees do not . I would give this business zero Stars if it was allowable . Any manager other than Lulu would make me very happy as no one could be worse than she is . read more

Love this store. Tonight I called ahead to check hours and talked to Maria. She was so sweet and helpful, I really enjoyed meeting this lovely young woman as she greeted me when I entered the store. She and Guadalupe were at their registers and both were very kind and helpful. Love this store read more

See all

I love this dollar tree. They almost always have what I'm looking for, it's clean, staff is friendly, and I've never had an issue with parking. read more

I came here for the first time to buy Mother's Day and party supplies because i didnt want to spend a ton of $. They had everything I was looking for and so much more. They had a ton of mothers day balloons already inflated just floating around so I grabbed a couple... also got a toys for my son and ended up spending $30. The lines were sort of long but the cashiers did their thing and got us all thru the best they could. Probably will come here for all balloons from now on since they're the best price around, even if it's a hit or miss as far as customer service. It's probably still worth it. read more

Tonight I was out and about and stopped here ... WOW!!! What a organized store I was blown away by how everything was stocked and clean and in stock ... I have been to MANY!! Dollar Trees before but never one so stocked and organized on every isle and the cashier Guadalupe was pleasant and friendly... Will be back read more

The store is wonderful but.... Parking is terrible Literally 15-20 homeless people camping outside the store or directly in front begging for money. Homeless inside store begging for money and yelling at cashier . Driving to another one next time. read more

A hidden gem! You can find decor for every occasion, items to full fill your crafting needs...fuzzy sucks, travel sized toiletries...gel nail polish...candy...some canned items...school supplies! Great activity workbooks to keep your toddlers busy. Art supplies...stickers...fun toothbrush kits for adults and children...it's like holding a key to a treasure chest...Anytime I shop at this Dollar Tree feels like Christmas morning! This DT is right next to a US Post Office so you can do both in one trip. read more

Wish they had some employees who knew English. Came here for birthday balloons and a lady helping out with balloons inflates a bouquet of balloons for a lady in front of me, sees me, and walks away. I gave her the benefit of the doubt thinking it's her break. I go looking for another employee because the two cashiers are busy, and I finally find one, but then she speaks to me quickly in Spanish and then in broken English that I need to go to the cashier. I wait in line for the cashier, only to have her tell me I need to get the balloons first, so I just left, frustrated that I waited in 2 lines and have to wait for 2 more lines. SO there I was, upset in my car in the parking lot, angrily updating my review, when a stranger knocks on my window asking for extra cash. Now, listen--I don't just give out cash because I don't want them to be used for something else than what they claim they need it for. If someone claims they need money for food, I'll buy a meal for them. He's asking for cash for a birthday bag and he told me he forgot his wallet at home. Although I may seem cold hearted, I'm not that mean to let this poor man drive back home to get his wallet but I'm also not going to just give him cash, so I go into the store with him to get his birthday bag and guess who's the cashier? The balloon girl who ignored me. Now I'm upset that I'm going to be giving money to this establishment who obviously needs to work on their employees' customer service because this girl totally ignored me earlier, but I can't just let this guy walk away without his birthday bag, so I pay for his bag and leave. This dollar tree just sucks. Dollar tree is still one of the best places to get non-latex balloons, but save yourself some time and happiness and go to one of the other dollar trees around. Or maybe I'm just a grump and you can tolerate this store better than I can... read more

Dollar tree is great. I like Dollar Tree more than the 99 cents store. They have a wide selection of balloons. From bridal shower to birthday balloons. They have more useful items here than the 99 cents store. The 99 cents store seems to be out of colors or items often. If you are having a party, you can find lots of items here. From plastic tablecloths, streamer, plates, forks, etc. Various colors and themes. They sell household items and even baby items. Lots of useful stuff here! HAPPY DOLLARING!! read more

Smarties candy canes (12 pcs) for only $1 each box. I don't think you can get cheaper than $1 per box, unless you visit Walmart or Target, etc. They have pretty wide selection of flavors including lemon head flavor, red hot flavor, regular peppermint, etc. read more

I've been to this location several times and they always seem to be understaffed, and things always seem to be out of place. The workers don't make it a secret that they don't want to be there, and are borderline rude. Still better than other locations though! read more

Dollar Tree - Discount Store Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I experienced the most uninviting experience with Cashier Carla at this location. No greeting or acknowledgment, or thank you. The whole transaction was silent and cold! I had to put my own items in my bag. I worked for Dollar Tree for a holiday season and I was always upbeat and thoughtful to every customer even the homeless ones. It was sad to encounter such COLD Customer Service during these times were all going through today. Kindness is free and should be given to all customers who help support your business and allow you to work. I experienced a totally different experience at the Salvation Army store- Cashier was inviting, nice and the cashier showed appreciation in her actions of Kindness! Shame on you Store#5335; I will never spend my hard earned $$ at this location :( read more

Rubber bands that's it that's all I needed. In and out in 3 mins I was so happy. There were two checkers and it was busy but a third opened up and that was that. read more

Typical products, but employees are very slow stocking and changing planograms here. So there is often clutter and boxes everywhere. Plus the floors are dirty. Checkers act like they do not want to be here. I guess I can't blame them. Neither do I. read more

Dollar Tree - dirty floors throughout - Discount Store Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This is a newer Dollar Tree and it's located right next to the post office in an inconvenient location that forces me to pull an illegal u-turn to get to. But that's OK since whenever I do come here I know what I'm looking for, pick it up and get out. The aisles are clean and it's never crowded when I go probably because not too many people are aware of this location. I've never had a problem with the staff, and getting balloons here is quick and painless. Great place to pick up birthday party supplies, poster board for your kids' projects, and other knick knacks for around the house. read more

Dollar Tree - Balloons available for purchase--all a buck each - Discount Store Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Yay! They just opened a Dollar Tree right next to the PO where my PO Box is. Odd location to put a Dollar Tree next to, but I guess a good use of the space, since its previous occupant was a consignment place (that always had unsightly junk hanging outside its store). I love Dollar Trees. Not cuz I'm a cheap bastard (or maybe so lol), but because you'd be surprised how many EVERYDAY household items you can find for just a dollar (vs. paying several more at Target or whatever). There is NOTHING wrong with saving a couple of bucks off of something if you can find it lower here. You can't get rich blowing off your money paying MORE for practically the same item when you can find it less elsewhere (like for a dollar here). The store is very well-lit, with ample parking (depending on when you go I guess). I'd have to guess the grand opening was maybe a week or so ago - for the longest time, I saw the Coming Soon sign up, and then the store slowly filled up with goods before I noticed they were open. I am also guessing that due to the location, not a lot of people know that the store is here, since when I did visit, I was practically the only shopper there (Sunday night). Well lit, wide aisles, well-stocked, friendly employees. Will update review in a few months or so. read more

Typically friendly efficient customer service, parking available, often has helium (and staff willing to help you with balloons unlike other surrounding locations). Great place to get fun & affordable holiday / party decor (tablecloths, plastic cutlery, treat bags, aluminum trays, decorations, candles, gift bags, greeting cards). read more

This place is horrible. Extremely rude employees, no service, all shopping carts got stolen. One employee lady started yelling at a customer as if she were a correction officer. The employee lady with glasses was extremely oblivious as to what planet she lives on. Just extremely horrible experience. They should close to location or fire and re-hire. read more

This store is terrible.. the employees are not helpful and the manager is not friendly. Their restroom is not accessible.. even it is working that's the store policy read more

You better believe it. Of course I realized there was such as thing as a store where everything was one-dolarino-of-love. I just never realized I would find so much to love here. My grad student was wrapping prizes for our department holiday party and I inquired where she got such great wrapping paper. Turns out it was at the Dollar Tree. This interaction occurred right on the heels of my inability to morally purchase 10 dollar holiday wrapping paper from DVS. Hells to the no. I stopped by on my way home from work that very day and the skies parted as I encountered the gift wrap section. Glitter bags! Bows I thought would forever be out of my price range! Multi-colored wrapping paper of all varieties! Gift cards! Scissors! tape! Colorful tissue! My gifts now look like a freaking holiday Pintrist board threw up under my boyfriend's Christmas tree. So that was my first day. But I embarrassingly went there AT LEAST twice more last week. Probably 4 times in the past 10 days. Do you need sponges? $1.00 Santa hat for spin party? $1.00 Cute stuffed animal for a child's present? $1.00 Adorable Christmas mugs? $1.00 Cleaning supplies? $1.00 Tupperware? $1.00 Toothpaste? $1.00 Toilet paper? $1.00 Cookware? $1.00 The list goes on and on and on. I brought my girlfriend here who, like me, might have turned her nose up a bit until she walked in and saw the GLORY THAT IS THE DOLLAR TREE! ALL HAIL THE DOLLAR TREE FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE BALLIN' ON A BUDGET! read more

Came here on 5/8/2021 at 3pm to buy some more Mother's Day balloons for my mom and an old Hispanic lady with glasses named Analee was my cashier. She was extremely rude, inconsiderate, and unprofessional. I had been at the same location the day before for some balloons that had deflated a bit and I asked her nicely if she would be able to reinflate them for me. They were in my car. She was standing there contemplating on whether or not she should reinflate 2 stinkin balloons for me while chit-chatting in Spanish with another younger coworker while I stood around for a few minutes waiting for her to help me. She at first asked if I had a receipt. I said no because why would I keep a receipt for some balloons from the dollar store. After several minutes have passed, I asked again if she would be able to help me or not and she as a matter-of-factly said, "you know what right now I can't anyways because I'm busy and she's on her break" as she pointed to her coworker. It takes 2 seconds to reinflate some balloons that were the exact same ones that were being sold at the store. One of the most unprofessional and inconsiderate employees I have ever came across. I will not be returning to this location. There is better customer service elsewhere. Update: Every other Dollar Tree I have called, the employees were more than happy to reinflate my balloons for me! With no receipt required as long as they are the ones being sold at the store, which they are. The employee at this location was something else. read more

Do not shop at this location. I came in and ordered Valentine's balloons last week (prepaid with an appt time). Came in today and they told me "someone" stole their balloons. So I could pick from what was left!!! R u kidding!!! That's the worst lie and then the lady helping me was sooooo rude... not even apologetic! So instead of helping me immediately they made me wait in a 45 minute line. Ridiculous! read more

I'm so excited that this store moved to my hood. Woohoo! They have great prices on party supplies and cards. What a find!

Slow lines, no cashiers, the line goes to the back of the store. They say they're not open and then take a person that was behind me in line 30 sec. after I was told they weren't open. The employees are very clueless and don't know what they're doing. read more

Horrible the cashier had such a bad attitude and kepT cussing the whole time that I was in line to pay. Maybe she was having a bad day who knows but If you're on the clock maybe you should watch your mouth. read more

To start off, I will admit, I love a good bargain whenever I find one, so this might bias me a little in favor of a dollar tree. That being said, this store is very nice. They have a very wide selection of goods and even carry a good deal of seasonal items. They have a smaller frozen/refrigerated section than some other dollar stores I have been to. The prices as with most dollar stores are quite a deal for what you get as they a vast amount of things one might need. Usually they only have one checker, maybe two, working so if you hit it at a rush then you might wait a little while, but overall I have had to wait more that 5 minutes only once in my dozen or so visits. read more

Good stuff. Long lines. Needs more staff. It takes 30 minutes to get someone to help you with balloons and half of them on display are not in stock. read more

This location is simply bad. Management needs to retrain their staff. And also corporate needs to retrain their managers. I went to this location yesterday and started shopping around and i picked up a few items. I was in line for about 15-20minutes. Only one register open and the cashier was lost. There was another employee restocking but he had his headphones on and couldn't hear the other cashier calling him for help. Its not here fault she was left alone while training. Another customer asked her to call the manager but she was in lunch. The manager came to help but she was super grouchy since her lunch was i interrupted . When it was my turn she told me some items i had were not suppose to be on the floor for sale. In my head i was like why have them on the floor then. I had to return my items since she said they made a mistake. When i asked for her name she wrote it down on my receipt but with an attitude. I know we are going thrue tough times but if you don't want to be working simply do go in and if you do go leave your nasty attitude at home. ALEXIA C is the managers name which had the bad attitude cause her lunch was interrupted. read more
