The ambiance is so adorable and eclectic, you can definitely tell the owner + staff put a lot of love into this place. Highly curated and thoughtful items. This is the perfect spot to find a meaningful gift for your loved ones. I was helped out by an employee named Carrie and she was so lovely/knowledgable about everything I was looking for! Sometimes you don't know how people will treat you in retail businesses, but sometimes you are so pleasantly surprised! And that was the case here so I had to leave a review. Thank you again!

I always find great things at this place. Love the feel love everything they have in the shop.read more

I found Eva's store while my husband and I were walking along Mission Avenue in South Pasadena. We had moved away from this area almost 10 years ago and wasn't familiar with what business were there now. We knew about the Dinosaur Store, one of the best places to connect with your inner child, across the way, but did not expect to find this Eva's gem of a store across the way. My husband was the one who spotted and encouraged me to walk in and see what was there. It was unpretentious and unassuming from the outside, until you walk in and discover Eva's treasures. I have now been to the store twice and Eva was there both times, to my delight. She is just as lovely as her designs. She took such care helping me find the right dress for a wedding. I could tell that she loves making her customers feel welcome in her special place. And when I finally decided on "the one" (and just like chocolates, it was REALLY hard to take just one), she surprised me again by letting me know that she can have her seamstress make the alterations right there; and that I could come back the same day! I'm so glad that my husband and I took that stroll in South Pasadena. Glad too that he had the patience to let me browse until I found THE DRESS and to meet the lovely Eva! And just like a box of my favorite chocolates, I know that I will keep coming back for more.

This store has a lot of antique/vintage jewelry for sale, particularly silver and semi-precious stones, as well as a good amount of costume jewelry. It also has quite a bit of home-ware, porcelain and kitchen-gadgets. Some sections can really pull you in, like old back issues of Times Magazines or other periodicals. Hodgson's is a great place to explore for an hour or so to find something unique or special for a friend or for your own home. Price-wise it's middle-of-the-road, not dirt cheap, but not super-expensive either. Worth a visit. Keep in mind that this place is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

His shop assistant was sweeping and kind enough to say hello. There was one other person in the shop and seemed to be a personal acquaintance or friend as the owner and she spoke often to one another. Meanwhile, I buzzed around and thoroughly enjoyed both the many trinkets and decorative displays. Even the outside entry was cute and inviting. I'd pop in again if ever you n the area. I think if Carmine would have engaged a bit, I would have been more apt to browse a bit more and make a purchase. There's some adorable retro-style magnetic timers and gorgeous gold goldfish I was eyeballing. Maybe next time. Five stars for Vibe and unique finds. 2 stars for friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Do you know why Aussies called, " Opportunity shop | Op-shops" where you're looking for thrift shop or " Open air market " in French back in the 1870s. ( Yes, French is on my next bucket list in 2026.) Thrifting is sensational. National thrifting day - August 17th is around the corner. Yes, thrifting is " A THING" in Japan. But I won't be talking about Japan or any boutique in Asia or in Murica. I'm talking about the flea market in Pasadena. Nope, this is NOT about the Rose Bowl flea market. I'm talking about specifically this is over 45 years of family owned - local business in South Pasadena, just happened Jap-American " Op Shop" sitting there and a lot of peeps passing by and no one really notices it including me. One Sunday Afternoon ( Nope, it's not a noir film title),  I walked in this store and have met a generous kind person called Lisa. She didn't even know  YELP exists and barely uses any social media. All the juicy Japanese stuffs there and fortunately, I've got a German made reading glass for under 10 bucks. There's a reason why God sends martial goods and certain people to cross the path if you're in good-deeds. A generational family business store in South-Pass and in need of survival and keep going for the next decade, we need to shop LOCALs. Community is vital in our culture, and can provide a sense of belonging, support, and opportunities for learning and growth for every single American in Murica. That's how we made America great again. Yoko which her mom name and the shop, the contact number is (626) 840 1284. When I was talking to Lisa where her mom is looking down and blessing upon us. I wish Lisa nothing but the best for the next coming decade and still be true to this " Opportunity Shop" in South Pasadena, a charming, hip and modern city of East side of Los Angeles. I've been swamped with work, reading and running around events that finally catch a breath to write a review. I'm so glad to be stopped by this charming store which is the Asian American Pacific Islander family owned shop and also a kind radiant of Lisa who didn't even know her shop existed on YELP has been contiguous to me. Viva la Boutique YOKO !
