I said, that I was glad I called before visiting, and would definitely not patronize his shop, nor recommend his hatred and anger to any unsuspecting visitor. Very sad and disappointing...

The owner John cares about his customers and likes to take good care of them. He strives for repeat business

It's history, memories and a learning experience all together. Things are put together nicely with some order. They have a nice outdoor space with things that will work for your garden area. Inside, no way I could name most of the categories they deal in. The couple on the floor were both attentive and willing to help. Grove Emporium is a fantastic resource for that old timer who has everything. Prices are in range for sure. Last words... find it here.

Beautiful products as gifts, such as necklaces, books, hats, cultural crafts, handmade gifts, unique jewelry, locks, bags, pouches, art, souvenirs, etc. Great value. Good service next door.

I really liked all the colorful items and designs I see. There's definitely variety here, especially if you want to buy a specific gift for someone. Next door is also an art gallery boutique. Beautiful place with beautiful vibes. Must love. I like browsing around the store whenever I'm waiting for my coffee and pastries or breakfast sandwich next door. Friendly and welcoming environment with lots of great things to see. I will definitely revisit in future.

Upon visiting today there weren't more…read morethen a handful of vendors, most selling junk at extremely high prices, and from what I heard going on, the vendors were not willing to barter. I also didn't see a bathroom anywhere on the grounds. Bad move. Plus, there were dogs everywhere going to the bathroom and most owners just left the dogs mess and walked on, one dog in particular, was obviously sick as he was trailing behind his owner coughing, sneezing and having diarrhea as they walked around the stalls. The owner was completely oblivious and left all the dog's feces lay and walked away. With dog flu running rampant in our area right now this poor animal was probably contagious and all other dogs who came in contact with him or the little gifts he left behind are now ill as well. Just horrible. This is truly not an event I would ever visit again. Such an extreme disappointment.

Probably a…read morefew too many sellers from local antiques stores (hi prices) and not enough indie sellers and 'junkers' ready to make some good deals. A few booths had new cr@p pretending to be antiquities--those definitely need to go. Hope the mix will evolve in the months ahead. And also hope the organizers will get the food and toilet situations up to par. Those make a difference for shoppers. Monterey needs a market like this so I hope improvements are made and buyers show up with ca$h!

It actually has some very nice collectibles in there, but the prices are outrageous. There is ample parking in front of the store, especially on a weekday. When I walked in, I definitely got the sticker shock. They had two hand woven wicker, Mexican children's chairs. That they were asking $85 each. These may have been vintage, but they were sure beat up. And $85 seems a little bit high. They use a tiered descending pricing which decreases the price once every month until it gets down to 50%. Oddly though I didn't see any prices that were lowered on my trip today. It's a very nice store as far as the things they have in there some lovely old pieces some very nice clocks and other collectibles. The clothing is again right in the middle of the store and it makes it a little difficult to navigate for someone who uses a cane like I do. I have used the Alliance on aging myself and I know they're a good group so I do wish them every success with their store but I think the prices are still pretty high. Also, the staff could be a little more friendly when you come in, the two ladies that were working completely ignored the entire time.
