Great shop with a nice variety of environmentally friendly and local goods! Not to mention, they have a super cute dog who's usually in the shop. They have everything from kitchenware and goods, to bath and body, kids clothing, and more. It's always fun to shop around and see what they've got in store, and do a little good for the planet while you're at it! Customer service is always great! The people working are super knowledgeable about the products, brands, and makers. read more

Eco Carmel - Baby Gear & Furniture Near Me - Carmel, California

Cute little gift shop on one of the corners of Carmel. I was just window shopping and they had the cutest window display I had to go in. But they had a sign that said "will be back" so I was about to step away but a nice lady said oh don't worry and let me in. Their selection is adorable. I spotted a comfortable pair of pajamas for my toddler but they did not have his size. The lady even checked the back stock and made pleasant conversation w me, never pushing the sale. That was so nice of her. I asked her to call me when her next shipment came in and she was true to her word and DID! Do u know how many stores I ask please call when so and so comes in and they never follow up. This owner was so nice and followed up and was able to ship the pjs to me. It was beautifully wrapped w a nice note. Great customer service and thoughtfully chosen products. Will be back again read more

Always fun to discover a new store ... especially when shopping was not even on my agenda. We luckily snagged a parking spot on San Carlos close to our two planned stops: Scheid Tasting Room and Terry's Lounge, our traditional lunch spot. Scheid wasn't open yet so to bide time I popped into Eco. So glad I did. What a delightful shop. So welcoming. A wonderful mix of "green living and natural health" items. Merchandise is displayed beautifully. I always appreciate it when things are not too crowded. Kristi, the owner, was very helpful without being pushy on what to purchase. I was short on time ... we were eager for lunch. I returned after lunch and this time was greeted by another clerk. I believe her name was Melissa? Said she was originally a customer and was now so happy to working at Eco. I made no major purchases. Just some stocking stuffers (shop year round for those), greeting cards, and scarves. Good prices. Will definitely be back. read more

Wonderful store - outstanding selection of quality, hard to find products that are curated with one goal on mind - to help you live a healthy life. Kristi is friendly and very knowledgeable about every single product they sell. Highly recommend this store. read more

This is a great store with a variety of items. The store's merchandise is eco-friendly and handmade. Their natural handmade hand sanitizer, is amazing and smells great! I always try to make time to stop by, whenever I'm in Carmel. The owner and staff are quite friendly! Support local businesses! read more

You simply need to visit Eco Carmel to truly understand what a gem it is! After window shopping for far too long, I stepped inside to explore and discovered so much more. Kristi and her staff will guide you and educate you wonderfully. I found myself enthralled with so many unique products that I never knew I needed, but certainly did. Not only did I find convenient household and everyday items that are both user and earth friendly for myself, but also gifts for the family members who "have everything". This is on my short list for gifting sources. You know a true gem when it is adored by locals and visitors alike! read more

I didn't shop at too many places in Carmel, but I spent a few hours inside here! There's truly so many cool things in here that contribute to a more sustainable world that I couldn't decide what NOT to buy. They have fundraisers going all the time too for people who don't get a bag - they give you a chip that you can contribute to a fundraiser bin, which right now is to add water bottle filling stations to some areas in Carmel. The owner is really sweet and seems to really her shop's mission. They have a gorgeous layout and organized displays that really help the customers have a fun interaction with their offerings. I purchased a bamboo cutlery set, a cool lamp as a gift, and some cute baby booties for a friend who's pregnant. They also have a ton of awesome greeting cards, dop kits/bags of all sizes, soaps, essential oils, games and lots more! I love this place and think it's a great example of impressively high-quality business ownership. Thanks for setting a great example for the world. read more

What's with the Carmel downtown places not having street addresses?!? San Carlos St between 7th & 8th? I'd hate to be the new mail-person trainee. Anyway, come here to indulge your inner Hippie. Eco friendly housewares, cleaning supplies, pet stuff (naturally shed antler chews!), and even locally harvested sea salt with organic herbs. Friendly and knowledgeable owner & staff. read more

Lovely store, lovely owner, and lovely dog! The owner was extremely knowledgeable about all the products and provided great insight into what to buy. Her dog, Hudson, was the sweet pupper ever! Would love to visit again :). read more

Eco is an amazing place! They have everything from wooden spoons to towels to essential oils to portable bento boxes. And I don't feel guilty for buying any of it! The owner is incredibly helpful and the customer service from all employees has been excellent. During the pandemic, Eco stayed open for curbside service of healthy cleaning supplies, and as the store is such a part of the Carmel community, it was a service much appreciated. As an added bonus, you get to make friends with Hudson, the tall and furry employee. read more

Eco is a great store! I like their selection of natural products and calming atmosphere. I look forward to shopping there again soon.

I placed an online order for some glass pet bowls through Eco Carmel's website. I had been hunting for these for some time, and was thrilled they had them. When they arrived they were so well wrapped that I could tell the shop owners care about their customers and the orders. (I was definitely worried about them making it to my home intact!) There was even a personal note thanking me for my order, and a follow up email to make sure I received the order OK. I always love supporting small businesses and if you are lucky enough to live in the area definitely support this awesome store. I'll be in the area this winter and can't wait to make an in person visit to buy some other goodies! read more

Beautiful shop with all eco friendly recycled materials. We were greeted by the handsome Hudson and made sure to give him love and scratches behind the ears. I was looking specifically for something to speak to me to memorialize our anniversary. A beautiful hammered gold crescent moon necklace caught my eye and came home with me. The shop owner was very warm and kind. Highly recommend. read more

I love Eco Carmel. It's the best place I've found anywhere for clean and green housewares, clothing and decorations. Knowledgeable staff, fair prices. Good news all around. read more

Awesome store with an amazing selection of s'well bottles. The staff is very friendly and if you donate your bag credit you can choose 1 of 3 local charities to donate to. read more

Cute store: lots of home goods -- both on the practical level and to help give your home a nice aesthetic touch.

My roommate and I recently bought a house, and although recently painted, we wanted to give the walls some life. I had some colors already picked out when my co-worker told me about Mythic paint, a non-toxic, VOC free paint that this store sells. So I stopped by Eco Carmel one afternoon to check it out. The owner, Kristi, was so incredibly helpful. She spent a significant amount time with me, explaining all about this paint and how it stacks up to other commercial brands. She also taught me about the importance of using primers, which no other sales person had ever done. She can match Mythic paint to any color of any brand, and it also has the highest durability compared to any other paint. I ended up purchasing a gallon of a deep red (which she matched to the Sherwin-Williams color I had already picked out) and a grey primer. I was pleasantly surprised that it was cheaper than what I was about to pay per gallon at Sherwin-Williams. The verdict: There has been some minor construction going on, but we finally got to painting last night. I had been downstairs caulking some new cabinetry and my roommate was upstairs priming. I had a splitting headache from the caulking material fumes, so I had to stop. I went up to help with the painting project, and realized that after about 10 minutes, my headache had completely subsided. After priming, we put up the first coat of red. Both primer and paint had virtually no odor. The color is stunning, and paint quality is superb. Because of Kristi's advice about using grey primer under dark colors, we barely had to use two coats. I will never use any other brand of paint, from any other store, ever again. I briefly looked around at other items in this store while waiting; some things may seem pricey, but I believe that cheap things are made cheaply, and this store is quality all the way. I wish I could support this store more by shopping here regularly, but after buying and renovating a house, we will be sitting on bean bags chairs eating beans out of a can... but at least we will be looking at beautiful walls!! Love this store!! read more

Love this store! Finally a store I feel safe in buying items here. They are super friendly and helpful:) they have a unique selection of beauty products. Even a deodorant that is natural and works. read more

I recently submitted a review with Google, but feel compelled to share on yelp too. Eco Carmel is a great find, and I'm sorry I hadn't visited earlier. From home essentials, to paint, baby clothing, novel items and even a unique furniture selection--this store should be on every Carmel visitor's list. Kristi Reimers is the original owner and she puts her heart and soul into selling products she believes in. The retail philosophy seems to be, "inform, educate and entice," rather than "push and close." So refreshing for this town--Eco belongs to a select group of iconic stores. And the products are Green and Earth-friendly too! It doesn't get better than that. read more

Outstanding service from Kristi Reimers. She walked us through various items, explained the utility of them & offering helpful suggestions for our home care. The selection of eco friendly products is great. The service & Kristi's patience was even greater! read more

Super cute store! Was recommended from an associate down the way at another local Carmel shop. Lots of cool zero waste items- from bags to containers, composting systems and even a line of baby products. We're in love with bees wrap so we picked up a few- they had some cute designs I hadn't seen yet! It was an inviting, relaxing experience and was a nicely laid out little store! read more

I needed cleaning products that didn't dry my hands and give me a headache. Eco Carmel had exactly what I was looking for - but did they work well? ABSOLUTELY!! Better than I expected! Kristi really knows her products - she's done EXCELLENT research on it all! No fumes and safe for my whole family! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! read more

Though I have been meaning to stop by Eco Carmel since they opened, I never made it over there until I started with a CSA farm that delivers there. I stopped in last week and have already been back twice since then! I have purchased everything from recycled crayons to vegetable-based paints for kids and from reusable plastic sandwich wraps to body butter for myself. The staff is helpful but doesn't hover. And the products are chosen with care. I love everything in this store. read more

I used to love this shop when it first opened. Not so much now. Wonderful products. Not too much interest in the client. No big deal. Can buy most of their products online now. read more

Great selection of items from housewares, door mats, stationary, pet items, bedding, CA grown organic cotton items (so rare), paint, art, etc (etc!). The proprietor is really knowledgeable about her products and after speaking with her it turns out she researched everything for a whole year before evening opening the doors, since she didn't want to contribute to the ever-present green-washing out there today (really respect that). Service was helpful but not intrusive. Our well-behaved dog was welcomed inside. We'll definitely come back. If you don't use a bag or bring your own, you can get a token and donate 25 cents to one of three local charities (not a new concept but rarely seen in a store this size). read more
