    They sell very cute jars you can fill up as a great souvenir. Lovely store with great service.

    A cute shop to pick up novelties and things to remember your visit to Monterey. This was my second time visiting this shop and the lovely owner was just as pleasant as I remember her. I last visited a few months ago to pick up a hoodie for my daughter to take back home. I saw a beautiful teal one and she loves it! The quality is good and I do believe it was on sale. If not, this shop does offer sales for those looking to buy something as a keepsake. If you are in the area, this is definitely a shop to check out for you and your loves one that want a souvenir. Check out the hours first, because she does not stay open too late, so get your shopping done early. Have fun and enjoy life :)

    Typical touristy gift shop, but these sorts of places are always an essential part of our vacations. Wifey always loves to pick up magnets from wherever we go. She has quite a collection of them now, from all over the world. So now, she has two new magnets from Monterey. This store also had a great selection of t-shirts, hoodies, shot glasses, coffee cups, and other typical trinkets. One note... The place did smell a little funny, perhaps of incense. If this bothers you, then you should likely avoid and head for the place with the Pirate in front.

    I've been to a lot of the shops on Cannery Row and the Wharf and this is still one of my most favorites.

    I've come into contact with some really rude people that have shopped here and it's no wonder the…read morepeople that work here are considered rude by customers, they have to deal with the rudeness all day long. Today there was a guy who's card was declined and he was giving the lady at the register a hard time about it. Turns out they found another form of payment and thought it was okay to cut in line in front of us. In any case, we don't know what the owners have been through that day or what stupid people have been in there before us that may have caused a scene. We were in search of some souvenirs since we were vacationing in Monterey for the week. I had been in search for a backpack for some time that wasn't a cheap looking drawstring backpack. This place had exactly what I was looking for. I just love my back pack! This place also has your typical Monterey sweatshirts and teeshirts and other little Knick knacks. Also walking distance to hotels on Cannery Row. They have the best prices in cannery row by far in my opinion. I also thought the lady at the cash register was very pleasant and we chatted for a bit. She was very pleasant.

    I've had a few minutes to calm down bc I got so upset. This was the last place we went to get a…read moresouvenir and service was TERRIBLE!! The old hag at the front was extremely rude. She was saying things to other customers, whispering under her breath, and literally a bitch. DO NOT GO HERE. SAVE YOUR MONEY. You are better off spending a few extra dollars & not souring your trip.​

    It's pretty much a must when visiting Monterey…read more Yes, it's geared mainly for visitors not locals but, with the greatest aquarium in the world and the history of this part of California, there is something for everyone here. Besides the numerous gifts shops, hotels, restaurants, and bakeries, I enjoyed walking the street and reading the signs (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=264&select=_GeO7eI7DvfdHmFW4m0_fw), (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=264&select=2_is_N1U14FAI_e3OvKzRQ), (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=264&select=EZRWT_hc1f8giWPM7Aajdg), and admiring the statues along the walkway. There are iconic people (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=264&select=-5PpBw_v1zzCEwAyUUxgVA) as well as historical memorials (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=264&select=eSUIHGmndBCAg82Ch67zTQ) to the people who built this community. A mix of various shops, tourist gift sellers, restaurants, hotels, and eateries (ice cream shops, delis, and bakeries). On one end, you'll find the aquarium. The other way, you'll reach the Monterey Plaza Hotel and San Carlos Beach. I mainly walked this my 1st evening here on a Thursday and it was on the quiet side (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=264&select=zeTCcVncpby2ciMVUrkz6Q). When I returned Saturday afternoon, the streets were filled but not overwhelming so since there were no major events on this weekend (auto show previous weekend and the Monterey Jazz Festival two weekends later). The weather was comfortable with a cool ocean breeze. It's probably best to prepare your activities somewhere along here after you visit the aquarium if that's on your schedule. Enjoy this part of Monterey and learn more about the history here.

    Gorgeous seaside views, fantastic restaurants, quaint shops; Cannery Row is an iconic oceanfront…read moreboardwalk attraction that is definitely worth a visit when you're in Monterey. Upon approach, it may seem that there isn't all that much to it, but once you're on the boardwalk, you realize that a lot of the good stuff is tucked away, a little out of sight, so exploration rewards the traveler. Apparently the aquarium here is also quite the draw, although we didn't pop in during our brief stay here. Lastly, the old Fisherman's Wharf, a little ways to the south-southeast, is almost an extension of all the things that make Cannery Row worth checking out: more shops, more restaurants, and more history. All together, one of the best attractions, and most exciting tourist destinations, in all of Monterey!
