Great service, fantastic selection, decent prices…read more I drove from Victorville to shop here and was greatly impressed with the selection and presentation of the plants they had. The area was a bit sketchy but they had a private parking lot right next door with security there to watch your vehicle. The service was excellent, very friendly and helpful, the overall vibe of the store was fantastic, couldn't recommend it enough. I ended up leaving with 5 or 6 plants and 2 or 3 pots.

I cannot recall the name of the person who helped but I remember her telling me her dad is the owner and she was so so kind and helpful. The plant selection is very nice, you can find indoor and outdoor plants and some Rare finds! I found a super cool and unique cactus that swirls around and I cannot wait for it to grow! The prices are very affordable and reasonable, I get plants from grocery stores whenever I see something I like, but this place really does give you a plant for your buck! Lastly, I was given their cellphone number where I can text or call if I have any questions regarding caring for the plants, I mean who offers that? Excellent service and great store/plany

A small coffee shop in DTLA. Street parking is available but depends on your luck and time of the…read moreday. The elongated café has indoor seating only. Order was placed with the barista. Coffee and espresso was made fresh within timely manner. Their speciality coffee is really creamy and sweet. So if sweetness isnt your thing, then watch out. The sun may beam thru the front window, which you could feel the heat. The background noise and music is fairly low, so you can enjoy your reading or conversation. Overall, it was good. It gets a 4.2 out of 5.

We had some time to kill and so decided to peruse around Little Tokyo and stumbled upon this shop…read more They had a TON of fun Japanese gift items and decor like stationary, postcards, kitchenware, maneki nekos, origami paper, and so much more. They also had a lot of traditional items/supplies for tea ceremonies, calligraphy, and kimonos. I had fun looking through all the items as it brought me back to our summer in Japan. Apparently they have a long standing history in LA, having opened in 1946 after World War II. The shop occupies the site of the first Japanese-owned business in Los Angeles, circa 1890's. Pretty cool! I have a soft spot for everything animal shaped and soo.... I picked up a fun/odd felt tiger Christmas ornament, a cat pen, and a super cute bronze cat shaped spoon that hangs on the side of your cup. Did I need it? No.... but it's fun and makes me happy. Haha! Overall, great shop to browse around and find some unique gift items. They even wrap up your purchases in paper bags like they do in Japan. I LOVE IT!

Motley lives up (or down) to its name…read more I've got a few pieces of hard-to-find furnishings on my list, and was prowling around the Arts District hoping to spot something I liked. Motley was in the neighborhood so I overlooked the disheveled appearance of the store and walked in. The first thing I noticed was loud music -- not bad music, but so amplified that it felt almost hostile -- and a woman sitting at the back. We made our way through the maze and when we got near her, I asked about a piece near the front, as nothing in the store was identified or priced. She told me the price, which was astronomical, but nothing else about the piece that might explain the price. I looked at everything on the floor, including the small room spilling over with random (also unpriced and unsized) used clothing. Later, I found out the provenance of the piece that interested me -- still doesn't explain the price -- and also noticed that the Motley website is a 1stdibs storefront, which makes sense, I guess. They must get most of their sales via 1stdibs. Which doesn't explain why they even bother to keep open a storefront or hire a store minder who seems to like loud music but isn't that interested in what the store sells.

I came into Motley today just perusing and found a neat Bang & Olufsen boombox in good condition…read more Imagine my surprise when I was told that the "sale" price was $800 down from $1200. This was determined by the longer hair man Im assuming is a Manager. This priced seemed outrageous and sure enough a quick search showed the average price on same item in good condition is $200. I'm not sure if the Man @ Motley thought I was a visiting Hipster that would pay any outrageous price or if he really did not want me to buy - Either way, I will never visit Motley again. And I suggest you think twice about it as well.

DO NOT COME HERE. I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO THE BAD REVIEWS. (Two locations)…read more The only reason why they have somewhat good reviews is because they offer 10% off of your order if you write how great they are. They failed to deliver $400 worth of vases to my home TWICE. I had to call and text the owner and he responded with "oh Im sorry I forgot." These are for my wedding so you can imagine the added stress he created. I decided to come and pick them up myself and when I did, they asked what was included in my order. I had to show them my receipt and they started scrambling around to find the proper vases. Mind you, this was 3 weeks after I ordered them and told me they'd deliver It all within the week. Im addition to being negligent and unorganized, they're way overpriced and so incredibly rude. I grew up in LA and Im used to mean people but this lady (aka the owner) was on a new one. As I walked down to michaels, I found the same vases for half the price. I wanted to cry. Moral of the story, AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. They have a shop inside the flower district as well as their own stand alone shop on the corner.

I was delighted to find a wide variety of candles, as well as many other items that many people would appreciate.

I felt as if we were the only folks in the store prices were a good value in a tourist area.

What endears me to this shop is that it is housed in what used to be part of an old machine shop. It still has the original plaster and wood beams as well as old doorways for the upper levels of the old building. It just smells old and historic. You can't fake it. What I notice the most about this place is that it call itself a candle shop, but there's not many candles that are sold there. They sell LOTS of Dia de Los Muertos decorations, books, magnets, coffee mugs, post cards and other assorted items that are not candles. There is also an ofrenda that is up year-round. It is very beautiful. Don't get me wrong, I love this store and have bought many items from here. They also sell incense here. Here is where I leave with a slight headache because I cannot help myself and I HAVE to smell it all! If you are one of those people who are into the spiritual crystal guru thing, then this store is also for you as they sell a myriad of gems and necklaces. They take cash and card. I'm not sure if there are other payment forms like Apple Pay or Zelle accepted. I wanted to take pictures, but I didn't want to come off as someone who looked sketchy in their store! Give this cute little spot a try!
