    Well it's Valentine's Day and no store in San Diego had valentines cards. It was early in the day and as I walk out of Target with a disappointed child I see a big sign saying Hallmark store is open early! Walked in and was greeted by someone and she was very nice and directed us to Valentine's Day cards! My daughter was so happy we found some to give out to her school friends. I'll be coming back next time to check out their other items. They had lots of things for many occasions. Plenty of parking as well right outside the business.

    Just wanted some gift wrap paper and ended up walking out with a bunch of cool gifts and gift cards. Lady was friendly up front.

    Least friendly hallmark! Karen the manager is beyond rude and Annette yells at kids. Don't go here! Grossmont hallmark is way better!

    The prices are too high and the customer service is horrible. Will shop elsewhere from now on.

    Cutest store ever!…read more There's such a great selection of items! The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how good it smelled. Everything I smelled, smelled sooo good. Lots of candle, soap, and lotion options! Theres so many random things to name but all cute. To note, there is specifically a cute little pet section and baby section in the back! They have a wall of the cutest greeting cards. There's also cute dainty jewelry. There's also some La Mesa merch that I promised myself I would buy if my dream of owning a house in La Mesa ever comes true! Great times with great value, the pricing was very reasonable for everything! I was also immediately greeted by the cashier Darav. She was so sweet and I enjoyed our conversation. She was playing Taylor Swift (my favorite). She wrapped up all my items carefully and put it in a bag with ribbon. It was so cute and I can't wait to gift the items I bought! She also let me know if you join their loyalty program you get discounts when you spend a certain amount. It's easy to spend lots of money here because everything is so nice! I will definitely come back any time I need a gift or just want to buy myself something nice!

    The perfect little gem in downtown La Mesa! We stopped in…read moreafter brunch and loved browsing this beautifully curated shop. It's full of charming finds, plants, home goods, skincare, stationery, small gifts, and more. The jewelry selection really caught my eye, and I thought the prices were fair for the quality. The service was outstanding--so warm and personal, and they even wrapped my gift for me, which was such a thoughtful touch. Can't wait to come back soon!

I had some issues with customer service though and left unhappy. There was a small line of three people. I was last. No one using self checkout. No one at the balloon bar. I asked a male worker if someone different is running the bar as I needed my balloons blown up and he said the lady at the register would do it. OK, no problem. I waited in line for my turn. When it was my turn, a woman came to the front and told the lady at the register to take her break. She greeted me and was ready to help me. We planned to start with getting the balloons blown up but the lady going on break said no, she needs to pay first. OK, no problem. The woman helping me told other customers who had formed a line behind me that self checkout was available. We finished checking out and when it was time to blow up my balloons, other customers needed help with self checkout, kept asking questions and she completely stopped assisting me to assist other customers. It was still my turn. She then told me she was going to quickly checkout a woman with a giftcard and someone else would be there to help me because she needed help to blow up the balloons and checkout customers. I let her know I had another place to be and was running behind schedule, that I waited my turn in line and would like her to finish assisting me. She said again that she needed help and wanted me to wait for someone else to come up front. This truly bothered me because why did I need to wait for the additional support opposed to other customers? Not only did I not have extra minutes because I was already in the store longer than expected but it was unfair to expect me to continue waiting to finish. I was made to pay in advance but service was delayed. I left. I returned Saturday morning to return the $20 balloons purchased and used balloons I'd previously purchased instead. Saturday morning customer service was great!
