I would give this place 5 stars - but the music is so loud. Everytime we visit, we end up asking…read morethem to turn it down. When you are with a group of friend and someone wants to try things, the music is blasting! So if you are bothered by loud noises I wouldn't go in this place. I also, have mixed feeling about the items. I do think that some things can be overpriced but somethings are really cute and feel unique. I know that these shops are going to be more money because it is a tourist spot, but sometimes things are little crazy IMO. If you are looking for cute gifts you can find something for 20 bucks but if you want a dress get great to spend around 100 on one thing.

I really love the selection here. Their jewelry is so nice and there's a good variety.read more

We had a great experience at this boutique in historic St. Augustine recently. The store owner,…read moreTamilla, was very engaging, friendly, helpful and assisted us wonderfully.

All I can say is, Go Dawgs!!!

DO NOT SHOP HERE…read more We came in because the windows had some cute items. We came out of our way to stop here. We had just left a soap shop, where my friend purchased some soap and put the soap in her pocket as it was one bar. As we were standing in the front of this store, an older woman, who turned out to be the manager, came to her employee at the front and whispered something in her ear. I didn't really pay much attention at the time but something felt off about it. At the same time they were trying to pull items in from the rain that had just started. We were then followed the rest of the time we were in the store and as we were leaving questioned if we wanted to purchase anything. After I left my friend said they had mentioned something about her pickpocketing and were staring at her pockets. It all made sense what we had experienced. I called and spoke to that manager explaining what had happened and my disappointment. She first blamed it on new staff till it was revealed SHE was the older woman who whispered in the woman's ear. She was rude and defensive and ultimately hung up on me saying "Sorry YOU were uncomfortable." This was blatant racism and profiling and I highly suggest you don't shop at such a disgusting place. Shameful.

From cocktail napkins to beautiful dresses, everything in the store is either beautiful to look at, wear, or give a gift. I found two fun necklaces for myself, some cards to send as thank you, one art card for myself, and some very beautiful and quirky bookends for my house. The ambience is exactly what I needed, because I was trying to have a relaxing vacation, and this place was easy on the eyes, and the staff was very engaging in conversation. I even complimented the buyer on the many wonderful and unique items in the store. When I go to Saint Augustine again, I will be stopping in! They now have a beautiful small selection of clothing for women, and I highly recommend you take a look!

Located just a few blocks from historic St. George Street, this shop is a tourist's dream. You'll…read morefind just about every type of souvenir you can think of here from shot glasses to t-shirts. You can even pick up some "Affordable Florida Oceanfront Real Estate" for $1.99 which is a little baggie filled with beach sand and some seashells. LOL Grab a postcard to send to a friend or family member, buy your kid a toy, or even get yourself a backscratcher for that itch you just can't reach. I noticed everything was marked with affordable prices, so you won't break the bank while picking up items for those back at home. As for the t-shirts and tank tops here, they do screen printing. Tons of designs to choose from. You pick the shirt and the design and it only takes them 30 seconds to print it on the shirt for you. They also do the screen printing if you bring in your own shirt for just $5.00. Not a bad deal. Perfect shop if you are visiting St. Augustine and would like to pick up some souvenirs for yourself or others. Also not a bad place for locals if you happen to be in the market for an interesting shirt.

I disagree 100% with the person who wrote the first review for The Shell Shop and gave them 1 star…read more The employees here are very friendly and extremely helpful. I was looking at a lot of pieces of jewelry and they were more than happy to pull all the pieces out for me. I also had a lot of questions about the different materials used and the stones, etc. They were very knowledgeable and were glad to answer all my questions thoroughly. The name of the store is The Shell Shop, so naturally you are going to find many things made from shells such as wind chimes, etc. But they have so much more here. They have wall art, fountains, mosaic pieces, jewelry (tons of sterling silver pieces), and so much more. One of the most interesting things I saw here were coconut postcards. Yes, coconuts you can purchase and actually mail to someone. Too cool. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-shell-shop-sunburst-trading-co-saint-augustine?select=Smd71M6JU433S79YjnFuUw#iZFav12LHbYmluHe2hNdLw One thing I was surprised to find here were sticks to put hair up with. I'm not sure what the proper name is, I just call them sticks. LOL http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-shell-shop-sunburst-trading-co-saint-augustine?select=Smd71M6JU433S79YjnFuUw#AwASeKbxNtIMsl44CiYeSg I have very long hair and I live in Florida, so during the summer (and we have a LONG summer here), I keep put my hair up every day and I usually put it up in a bun and use a stick to secure it. I normally buy these from the China and Japan Pavilions at Epcot, so imagine my surprise at finding them here. They were also very, very reasonably priced... MUCH cheaper than I purchase them for at Epcot. One of them was hand painted and there was a small chip in the paint (not even noticeable when I have it in my hair), but I pointed it out and they gave it to me for 50% off. Even cooler because I was going to purchase it anyway. Very great shop on St, George Street in Historic St. Augustine. It's different than a lot of the "touristy" shops because they carry so many various items. Although, they do cater to the tourists as well who want something that has "St. Augustine" written on it. Don't miss checking this shop out if you're on St. George Street.

As a bonus, right after visiting we ate at the Gourmet Garden Indian Restaurant nearby, which was also excellent. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!
