I absolutely love French At Heart! This is one of my favorite places to shop for unique gifts. Kay is wonderful and always makes every visit feel special. Her store is beautifully decorated, thoughtfully curated, and full of treasures you won't find everywhere else. The selection is amazing, whether you're shopping for yourself or looking for the perfect gift. I especially love that she carries the Jellycat brand, along with so many other high quality and unique items. Every corner of the shop is charming and inspiring. If you're looking for a special gift or just want to treat yourself, French At Heart is a must-visit in downtown Lodi. The customer service, beautiful displays, and carefully chosen merchandise keep me coming back again and again. read more

French at Heart is such a beautiful hidden gem tucked inside Second Hand Rose (and right next door, too!). The shop is filled with the most thoughtfully curated gifts--you can tell everything is chosen with care and intention. Kay is truly the sweetest, most amazing person and makes every visit feel so special. My young daughters look forward to seeing her every time we stop in, which says everything. Such a special place! read more

Very cute local shop! They have quite a selection of Jelly Cats which can be hard to come across. Hidden gem in downtown !

cashier said items from her store needed to be purchased from her and from the carpet beyond is her daughters store. I held onto an item I was going to purchase and said I'll be back to pay for my item I was going to look around her daughters side of the store. not even 5mins later she comes up to me and sayss "I just wanna make sure you are not going to put that item in a spot where I wouldn't be able to find it" so I speak loudly saying I'm ready to purchase the item" and she says "No you do not need to but the item right now I am not accusing you of stealing I just want to make sure the item is not misplaced" so I say again "I am ready to buy the item now" if I needed to purchase the item before going to her daughters side of the store she should of just said that before I kept shopping! just RUDE! I still bought the item but that will be the last time I come here! read more

Smaller than Second Hand Rose next door but well laid out and the newer items up front were really cool. Picked up a few things for our daughter's new place and a few pieces for ourselves. The owner was very out going and friendly which made us feel very comfortable walking thru and asking questions. read more

Cute lil' smell good shop to check out even if just browsing. Love the decor. The owner is a doll and will even gift wrap for free. She also gave me and my friends return coupons- for a discount next time we visited. Pricing varies and lots of aromatherapy products, jewelery, novelty items, unique treasures etc... It's connected to a big antique store right next door. read more

I love their unusual gift items so went there to get a last minute extra gift for my daughter... As I went to pay, I noticed that the owner did not have on a mask as the pandemic is raging in San Joaquin County. I asked her if she had something against masks and she replied that she did not but that she didn't wear one in her shop.. I asked her if she had one that she could put on as I told her that I was an older person and would possibly die if I caught the virus. She said that she did not and said nothing else...The shop also did not have a plastic shield to protect me from whatever could possibly come from her mouth... I was appalled by her lack of concern for her customers and sadly to say that I shall never shop there again....A mask is not a political statement but protects others from getting the virus and also helps Lodi Health Care workers who are overworked from trying to save the lives of those who have the virus...Please show concern for your fellow humans!

Love LoveLove this place! my hubby were on our way for a bite to eat when he pulled right in front of this cute little shop! Immediately my eyes were drawn to this cute sweater hanging from a rack that said..All sweaters $10! Are you serious? Uno momento baby.. its shopping time. As I rummaged through this rack of eclectic array of clothing, I find another jewel! Score!!! Twenty bucks, I'm good! Then I walked in and it blew my mind! There were so many cute things in there and immediately I felt like I was back in France .. or at least what I imagine. From jewelry, to cards, to soaps, lotions, baby items, scents, I mean I am not doing it any justice! See my picks! You have to go! It's my new gift shop! Everything is unique and lots of one of a kind items! Very reasonable and the owner (crap I forgot her name..darn wine) is the cutest person ever! Oh yeah.. I left out spending $30.. found something else on my way to the counter! read more

We stopped by here twice, in one day. The first time we didn't buy anything and as we walaaked by again I told my husband "I want to buy something from here" and we went back in. Cute little one woman run shop. I am a supporter of locally owned businesses and I love little shops that are jam-packed with goodies that allow my eys to wonder. Kay's shop does not disappoint. And it smelled GLORIOUS when I walked in!!! I didn't know what I exactly my nose zoomed in in because she has soaps, candled, lotions and hand creams that gave my sensenof smell a PARTY!!!! I knew I couldn't buy them all so and just when I thought I'd leave without nuying anything, I spied 2 butterfly scarves. I couldn't choose between the colors she had displayed. Just as I was rolling the decision in my mind, Kay ran in the back room and cane back with a robin's egg blue scarf with butterflies and a purchase was made. Kay was polite and attentive. We clicked instantly and when I go back to Lodi, I'll stop back in to see her. read more

I don't live in Lodi, I 'm here several times a year to visit. French at Heart is the store that I must visit at least once. I love the lotions,soaps and beauty products. There are also antiques and collectibles galore. Kay,the owner, is usually there to great you and explain products and their use. I love this store!! read more

Cute little shop with just the perfect gift for every occasion. Clean friendly atmosphere!

Cutest shop in Downtown Lodi. My daughter and I were on the hunt for certain items and we went into this cute store to look around. The store to begin with is small and we were the only customers at the time. There were 2 women working at the time and neither of them acknowledged us. I mean it's a small shop, how hard is it to acknowledge customers. We walked right pass both them and NOTHING! I was so upset that I didn't bother buying anything. I work in retail and all I have to say is that if you want your small business to prosper, your customer service better wow people. read more

While this store has really cute items, I will never be back to this store. The owner made the rudest comment to me while I was paying and instead of apologizing, she tried to back track to act like she never said it. I was in shock or I probably would have left without purchasing anything. read more

Love this place!!! It's one of my favorite shops in Lodi. They have the best soaps and I love all the unique gems you can find here. The owners are extremely friendly and have always gone above and beyond to help :) read more

I love this little shop. I have never had a bad experience. They have the best little gift ideas and the prices are fair. I will be returning soon for Christians gifts. read more

I absolutely love this store! Was in there yesterday and the owner couldn't have been more courteous and friendly. She's an absolute sweetheart, very attentive and the ambiance is incredible. I love the French soaps and candles. I bought some Angel wings. a beautiful Birthday tiara, a hair pin (darling) and a gorgeous blue GAP sweater. I loved the spent shell lights, they are so cool and unique. If you're in downtown Lodi, you have to step in just to smell this place, it's almost hypnotizing and definitely mesmerizing! My favorite store in downtown Lodi by far! The owner wraps and packages gifts beautifully as well, so you can walk in, find your special unique gift and walk out ready to go! Love, love, love it! A must stop shop. I have to go back and get the Peace sign necklaces, darn I knew I should have grabbed those yesterday! I always try to support local small businesses, it benefits everyone! read more

My son and I love this store! The owner is so nice and welcoming! The variety of items is amazing and we never leave there empty handed. This store is one of the reasons we love Lodi! Thank you! read more
