We were walking around Laguna for the first time in a good 5 years and wandered into this store after seeing a nice selection of shirts in the window. When we went in we were greeted by Brittany, a knowledgeable salesperson without being overly pushy. We schmoozed with her and an older gentleman who was also working at the store and had a very good feeling about the store, contrary to some of the comments on Yelp from other shoppers. The quality of the merchandise is strong, and if you interact with Brittany you'll walk away with a positive experience as well as nice shirts. read more

Had lunch today at Sun Dried tomato with my boyfriend, and finally went into Melrose Place. All my friends kept ranting and raving about this crazy salesman in there named Eddy. Yup, he is pretty fun, crazy and really knows alot about fashion. My boyfriend walked out with 2 pairs of jeans, 3 shirts and new shoes--he knew exacty what to show him and I can't believe he managed to sell my boyfriend so many things! Thanks Eddy for the great fashion makeover--we definitelly have a reason to come back and visit--bought tickets for Pageant of the Masters in August--see you then read more

Pretty Cool clothes, but they advertise 50% off and get you in the store and nothing is 50% off. Just became a resident here. I won't shop here again. Tried to support a local spot, but don't like to be swindled. read more

The windows of Melrose Place were filled w/ an awesome selection of button down shirts in all sorts of fun colors & patterns..... Mr was looking for a last minute replacement for Pageant as his current shirt got dirty - lucky for us they had a nice selection of short-sleeved shirts Found a nice silk blend that looked & moved nicely & kept its cool - perfect! They had a men's shop & a separate woman's shop too Prices were what we'd expect for the Laguna Beach area - would definitely come back!! read more

Honestly, not sure how this place is still even in business. I am pretty sure that half the reviews about this place are fake and entered by the owner. My friends and I were walking by this this so called men's store when the owner "Eddie" starts yelling for us to come into his store. Not interested, he proceeded to throw insults instead. Mind you were were on the side walk of the street in Laguna Beach minding our own business. Guy is real piece of work and needs to go to business school to see how to market and attract customers. Be warned and stay away from this place! read more

Wow, walking into Melrose Place my wife and I were immediately greeted by Eddy. A gregarious, bubbly character. Probably the best description of him would be "the Bodacious one" Not only did he sell me a fabulous shirt but also an awesome wrist watch, which I ordered from "shopnbc.com" what a guy. You meet him and you won't forget him. What a fireball!! After recovering from a five week triple by pass surgery he had us dancing in the store. Thanks again Eddie from another guy named Eddie. You are awesome! "If you're lucky enough to live at the beach, you're lucky enough" read more

What a gorgeous store!!! I had been having problems trying to find the appropriate gift for a number of my friends and family - especially the men - it always is harder to chose for them, it seems !! Well, Melrose Place was/is a delight - I had such a rewarding experience yesterday, I just HAD to share!! It is a beautifully laid out store and with such a great selection - I was spoiled for choice!! I had not had that problem before !!! I was assisted by Jennifer who was very friendly and helpful - taking away all the near Christmas shopping stresses and making it very pleasurable visit. I will no longer be worried in the future about any of my upcoming birthdays, celebrations as I will head straight to Melrose Place and know I will get great service and a gift to cherish. read more

Incredible shopping experience. Could not have been more personable and inviting. Bought a pair of jeans he said would change my life. He was right!! Should have bought more. Knew my size and knew my style by just speaking with me for a few minutes. Minnesota guy buying GLK in new port beach read more

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie! If you shop in the small but well stocked men's hip clothing store, you will most certainly leave remembering Eddie. Eddie will not be for everyone as his high energy, jokes and enthusiasm might be considered by some as over the top, but in our case we enjoyed the experience. He is quick, efficient and he is great with men who need some help putting sharp outfits together. My husband jokingly said it is like Garanimals for adult men. In about 20 minutes my husband bought 4 pairs of jeans, 4 soft layering tees, one beautiful leather jacket, a sweater, a few sharp button downs and two belts. My husband was happy but exhausted. Now he understands shop til' you drop! Thank Eddie! read more

Clothing and selection get 4.5 stars. Woman working in the shop gets 0. She talked non-stop and followed my husband and me around the store, even hovering outside the dressing room while he tried a few things on. She felt it necessary to give her opinion on everything, although we did not solicit it. We are seasoned shoppers and did not want, or need, her input. We did buy a few items (they do offer a nice selection), but might have bought more if we hadn't been harassed the entire time. She couldn't get the receipt to print, and then said she would email it. Never got it! We couldn't wait to leave...and likely would not go back. If she's not the owner, the owner would do well to hire a more pleasant salesperson who is better at "reading the room." read more

The Owner/Proprietor flagged us off of the street as we were passing by, it was to our benefit. The: 1) Items in the store were top rate 2) Service was incredible. Yes, it was because they wanted to sell something, but isn't that what a store is about? 3) Owner/proprietor was not only attentive, but very skilled. My husband purchased: * two pairs of jeans that fit perfectly * shirts * shoes (He never would have purchased if I had twisted his arm!) Melrose Place carries many of the labels/brands sold in other stores. However, we prefer to patronize local stores that can provide the kind of service we experienced at Melrose Place. read more

Eddie! Eddie! Pulled us off the street like a Vegas act. Quickly realized this guy knew his shit. My hubby has some amazing shirts that fit. This place is legit. read more

This store is very easy to find. Cashmere, bags, jewelry and outfits. All your basic needs. They will style you personally and help you plan your wardrobe. It's decent neighborhood store. read more

A MUST in Laguna The store has really nice clothing; and fair price. The staff is very friendly; since you enter the store everybody is attentive and make sure you get what makes you feel good! I would recommend it to anyone that wants to find good things and have a great experience while shopping. read more

Embarrassed to say we did not know about this place for the last 14 years. Saw it today just walking by and Eddie immediately pulled items for my husband. Very good quality and Eddie listened to what we like and didn't like. Walked out with two pairs of great jeans and three shirts. We will definitely be back soon now that we know about the place. Eddie was fantastic. read more

The bald guy working there on 8/17/13 was so obnoxious and rude, I wouldn't buy anything from him.

It's difficult to write something about an apparel store... so I'll just throw a shout out to our salesman, Eddie. I took my girlfriend for a weekend in Laguna Beach and somewhere during our stroll along 700 art galleries we paused at a small men's clothing store called 'Melrose Place.' Before we could get within a few feet of the entrance we were greeted by the clone of Eddie Palermo of the Best Little Chapel in Vegas. With arms open wide and in his best Mediterranean accent he shouts "Welcome to Melrose Place! Home of the finest clothing in Laguna Beach!" Honestly, I can't remember exactly what he said at the entrance, I was mostly just surprised to meet a retailer with this much enthusiasm for apparel. That, and I almost believed his accent. Even more surprised (because I had already made mental comparisons to the Eddie character from Hangover) that his name was, in fact, Eddie.... It seemed that he was a local favorite since, on several occasions, people walkin by the store would shout "How's it going Eddie?! How've you been?!" He knew many of those passing patrons by name as well, AND their previous purchasing. Long story short; He was extremely helpful with our shopping, he was very gregarious, funny as hell and personable. And he put Billy Mays and Vince the ShamWow guy to shame in salesmanship. I was impressed. I wouldn't have cared to write anything about this place if it wasn't for Eddie making an impression "A+" for effort on making a big sale Eddie, but I just needed one shirt and experiencing Laguna had more priority in our budget then a new wardrobe. As much as you made me want to spend Six or Seven hundred dollars on some great stuff. I'll be back on my next trip to get a new pair of MEKs and that striped shirt. Oh, and the selection and prices were good as well read more

Eddie, the owner, is terrific with customers and he has a large selection of classic and fashionable casual shirts and large selection of belts. I bought a James Campbell shirt that looked like classic Hamilton 1883 - at 1/4 the price and no waiting six months! Eddie is a salesman. I did not need a shirt that day. read more

You either love him or you hate him, but one thing for sure....Eddie knows men's fashion and how to select the perfect fitting/style shirt or outfit for a guy. If your desire is to get clothing that looks hot on you AND you have a fun sense of humor, then this is the place! Otherwise, shop at Macy's for ordinary clothing and nobody will bother you. read more

Eddy and Melrose Place have completely transformed the style in my dress that had been lurking beneath the surface for years. I visit this store on every trip to Laguna Beach and have for the last five years. Yes, Eddie can be an acquired taste as some other reviews attest, but trust me, he knows his men's fashion and will make some amazing recommendations if you're open to suggestions and willing to let him do his thing. Don't go in expecting to "browse around". You will leave spending more than you planned and will look fantastic as a result. Isn't that what we all want from a men's boutique in Laguna Beach? read more

Not only does this company have great looking fashions, but they have the greatest salesman in the history of men's clothes...Eddie. You have not shopped until you have shopped with Eddie as your fashion whisperer (actually, he's a lot louder than that!) Eddie has sold me the best shirts, jackets and jeans I have ever owned and picked them for me instantly. I am a 51 year old guy who likes dressing in younger fashions than most men my age, but being very cautious not going too far and looking ridiculous. Eddie knows how to have that balance and never pulls out stuff that I dislike. Eddie is high energy, high speed, high theatre and not everyone's cup of tea, but he is THE reason I shop in this store. He is also reasonable and will give you a good deal if you need it. If you like what you see in the video link below, then go visit the store and get the best looking clothes you've ever owned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWj3I310vI4 read more

Melrose Place Men's Clothing saved my Laguna Beach weekend. Friends and I planned a Laguna Beach weekend; I packed everything for the beach but nothing for social events. To the rescue Melrose Place Men's Clothing, the prefect selection of shirts, pants, shorts for social events. Friendly customer service, helpful parking tips and Laguna Beach suggestions. Yelp please do not delete this review. read more

Eddie is hilarious and knows how to sell, great fashion sense, great personality! A go getter and tons of energy without being to pushy or over the top, very observant and friendly. Funny and REAL!!! read more

What a fun men's store! I went in there with my brother to help him choose some shirts for a wedding that we are attending at the Montage tonight. Tania was super nice, and suggested shirts that were within our price point. She even found him nice black slacks to wear with the shirts. My brother is super picky, and the salesgirl was very patient with us. Definitely wish there was a store like this in the city! read more

Walking by we saw that they carried kids clothing, & also infant sizes- not typical for this kind of store. So happy that we went inside. Brand name clothing like True Religion, 7 jeans, Micheal Kohrs shoes and boots! Owner was so helpful. Darling clothing for my infant grand daughter at super great prices. I can hardly wait to get home to give my son & daughter in law the adorable clothing I bought for my little Addy. I highly recommend if you are ever in Laguna Beach, and you looking for kids clothing, or even adults both men & women clothing, Definitely stop by Melrose Place. Great shopping experience! I'm going to have one fashionista grand daughter. read more

Just came back from a fun weekend in Laguna, celebrating 15 years wedding anniversary! After a great dinner at the Peruvian restaurant, we did some shopping for my husband, and he found jeans! The funny salesman convinced my husband (who is very picky) that it was time to retire his old Levis. We found 2 great pair of jeans, one Joes, and one Mavi, and even found a $40 hoodie on sale! My husband loves his new clothes...thank you Laguna Beach! read more

Stopped here to get a shirt for younger son before dinner. Eddie immediately sized up what would work best and had him in the right shirt within a minute. Were we done? No and thank goodness for that. Eddie realized that my husband needed a healthy dose of "what to wear" advice and it had to be done quickly since my BFF does not like to shop. He walked out of there with two pairs of jeans that fit him like a glove, three shirts, and two pairs of shoes. It's a week later and there's no buyer's remorse here. In fact, I'm sure I'll see one of the outfit combos at dinner tonight. Will we return on our next visit? You betcha. read more

While walking through the downtown shopping area of Laguna Beach on vacation, we were drawn into Melrose Place Men's store by a very charming sales clerk who actually walked outside to steer us in named Jennifer Keil. I don't know where she got her polished, but not pushy sales skills from, but if I ever open another store I am going to steal her from them. (Lol) The store itself is a small boutique that carries stylish men's clothing, and Jennifer managed to not only get my husband into the dressing room to try clothes on (which is like dragging a kid to the dentist), but kept him there by personally hand picking items for him and kindly getting him to put them on and come out and give us a fashion show with each selection. She was not overly pushy just trying to make a sale, (as several items were not right for him and she did not push us to buy them) which we appreciated, but instead asked him what he did and did not like about them so she could understand his needs, and then would go and find another item to try that was more his style. We left with a pair of Diesel jeans that looked amazing on him and several shirts that he loved! I wish I could hire her to go shopping with us every time as she made it a very pleasant experience! She literally made that sale for the store- I hope they appreciate what a little gem of a sales clerk they have there!!! read more

Great produce for any occasion. Love the assortment of Clothing they have to offer as its so versatile.

I am surprised this place doesn't have more reviews! Every time I am in Laguna I am sure to stop by this place to grab stuff for my brother. I live in Beverly Hills so the commute is only about an hour - and Melrose place is one of my first stops. While I am enticed to go in because of the great costumer service (the bald guy Eddie is just fantastic), I love the clothing and always find such great birthday presents for friends! I would definitely recommend checking this out if you're in the area! read more

This store rocks !!! The fashion shirts and jeans... wow!!!! My boyfriend and I ere walking by and saw the great shirts and decided to go in. We were greeted by Tania- great person, very knowledgeable about fashion. It was hard to choose which one to get, there were many great pieces to choose from. My boyfriend bought 4, and I got 1 for a Father's Day present. Will definitely recommend it to our friends and will come back often to buy more !!!! Great place to visit!!! and Tania rocks !!! read more

Interesting reviews. I actually felt accosted by the salesman. I was out for a walk on Sunday evening and stopped in for the first time. Nice clothes, but the salesman is definitely not my style. He criticized what I was wearing and nearly held me hostage in the dressing room over a pair of jeans. I felt very uncomfortable and high pressured. One star for the clothes, anyway. read more
