I walked in and realized this is some sort of Mexican shop where I'll be able to find lots of crafty stuff. Boy was I immediately mesmerized by all the fun crafts, especially the "pan dulce" stuffies which I think were like coin bags, some were conchas and the rest just regular pan dulce bags. There is lots to see and buy, and not to mention they have 2 other ships on the same street, per the sales associate who helped ring me up (couldn't leave without buying anything). This is a fun and colorful shop to find quirky stuff. From candy to clothing to crafts.

I felt very welcomed and was able to browse all I wanted even though my main intention was to go to the nearby dessert place (I had not been in Bankers Hill for years so this was a pleasant surprise). I will make sure I stop by next time and see if there is something I can get for myself or friends. Cute table and chairs outside to enjoy coffee and people passing by as well.

Old town market is so much fun to shop around! The Mexican potteries and silvers are so beautiful…read moreand very well made. I really liked the potteries in Cancun but it was hard to bring them back. It's so convenient to shop for those here in old town San Diego! The tequila set pottery I chose was so gorgeous! We can't wait to use them to drink tequilas at home! There are restaurants, bars, wine tasting, chocolate tasting and much more besides gift shops. It's easier to spend a couple hours here without even realizing it. We'v always had such fun time here every time we visited! Ps. Public parking across the street, we paid 3 hours for $10.

I'm not sure why With Love's reviews transferred over to Lewis Fay Home, which is the shop that…read moretook over that space when With Love closed down. Lewis Fay Home is...strange. They sell way too many things without specializing in any one thing. For example, they have cards, perfume, lotions, I think I saw sunglasses there once, tchotkokes, and then the other side of the shop seems to be more about cooking stuff. I bought a cool set of glasses there when they first opened up, but every time I go in there, nobody helps me, and I feel like I'm intruding. So I've stopped going in. Anyway, my larger original review is NOT for Lewis Fay Home, it was for With Love, which was a completely different and very wonderful shop.

So many cute items ranging from hair accessories, sunglasses, jewelry, clothes, plants, home decor, dog accessories, etc! I wanted to buy so much stuff including a disco ball planter and some plants but sadly they would not make it on the flight back home so I had to pass. Ended up buying some sunglasses, a hat for my dog, claw clips, and jewelry! I love that the store is organized in sections split by color and style. Staff was so friendly too, I actually bookmarked their website to order more stuff online when I get home LOL!

Service was nice! I think the only downside was the parking. I kind of drove around in circles until I could find a spot. I do think these prices are a bit high but it has to be expected with a shop like this! I purchased a few items that I'll be gifting Two mini pouches $7 each. Planner $14. Socks $14 and desk organizer was around $7. The interior is just so cute. If you get it, you get it! lol Such a nice place to visit if you want to grab some things for yourself and gifts. I wish I had enough room to bring more stuff back. I'd definitely bring people to come and check out the shop!

Souvenir Shop [Old Town San Diego]…read more Before leaving Old Town San Diego we stopped by this souvenir shop. The sign said "Store Closing" like some liquidation sale... that was enough to lure me in the store. They have a variety of merchandise from flip-flops to tote bags and lots of apparel from sweatshirts to novelty tees. The employees were nice and very helpful. They informed me of the pricing of merch in the front and directed me to more savings on items towards the back of the store. I was able to find something for my co-worker. She loved it!

Absolutely unacceptable and blatantly racist treatment from one employee…read more An older Caucasian blonde woman working there was rude and dismissive toward us from the beginning. She gave us hostile looks, acted irritated when we asked questions, and made us feel unwelcome before we even reached the register. When we went to check out with about $160 worth of merchandise, the tap-to-pay reader would not light up, beep, or respond. Instead of considering that the machine might be the issue, she immediately blamed my card and even claimed the payment had processed multiple times, despite nothing appearing on our end. Then the next customers had the exact same problem with the exact same machine. Her entire demeanor changed. She suddenly became apologetic, helpful, and immediately took them to another register. With us, she was dismissive, accusatory, and unwilling to help. With them, she immediately found a solution. We confronted her about the obvious difference in treatment and told the manager directly that her behavior toward us was racist. To the manager's credit, he was professional and handled the situation appropriately. The employee was the problem. We are minorities, and the contrast in how she treated us compared with the very next customers was impossible to ignore. This was not simply poor customer service. This was clear, blatant racist treatment. No one should spend money at an establishment where the quality of service appears to depend on someone's race, ethnicity, or appearance. Every customer deserves the same basic dignity and respect. She should be immediately fired. We will not be returning.
