She and the owner, Judy, were both lovely. They let me try everything on and see how it looked outside in the natural light and waited patiently while I FaceTimed my friend. I appreciated that the owner was open to a little bargaining. I ended up getting 2 pairs of 14K gold gemstone studs, one Tanzanite and the other Peridot. Based on my quick online search, I think the price I paid was extremely fair.

Paloma was a pleasure to meet, had great suggestions and helped us try on anything we wanted. I ended up getting a beautiful pair of brass cat earrings that she designed herself. I came back the next day to buy some more beautiful pieces as gifts before I left town and was met with the same great suggestions and warm welcome from Rheta! She beautifully gift boxed the pieces I got for my parents & shared her favorite things to do in Mendocino with us. Everyone who works here has been so friendly and a delight to meet. Thank you! I can't recommend this store enough!

The gentleman who helped us was so knowledgeable and nice. I fell in love with the first ring I saw when I walked in, but he showed me so many more that I loved. In the end I know I got my truly favorite and it was a perfect gift, from a perfect shop in a perfect city that I love. This ring has already so much meaning to me! I hope it will become a family heirloom as I intend to give it to my daughter someday!!

The owner Drea greeted me and we chatted. I ended up purchasing so many great items, including my favorite pair of lounge pants that she had saved for herself but pulled them from behind the counter and sold them to me. I almost didn't accept them but I was in love with them. So much so I came back 6 months later(I primary residence TX) and purchased 4 more pairs in different colors. During this purchase I met *Brittini. She is fabulous. Helpful bright and cheerful. Even though I am only there every 3/6 months she remembers me. I recently bought a dress that I am in with. I can't wait to go back and shop some more. The prices and variety of clothing are amazing. This is a MUST visit while in #Mendocino

I went into this store because a window display caught my eye. Upon going in i found every girly girl's heaven...great prices on all different styles of clothing and accessories. There is something for everyone's style! I even bought cute little ballerina bears as gifts for the nieces. The owner was super friendly and helpful, but not to the point of being obnoxious. She left me to shop and made conversation with my man while he so patiently waited. She even welcomed my small dog to come in, yet was able to ensure helping me with sizes and suggestions. This was 1 of my most favorable shopping experiences I've had in a LONG time. I bought a few things and probably would have bought more had i not had to hurry for the man

Wonderful shop and exceptional customer service!…read more I stopped in after realizing I had forgotten my binoculars at home and noticed they carried them in the shop. Marilyn immediately got right to business. She didn't try to oversell me or push me toward something I didn't need--she simply listened to what I was looking for and helped me find a pair that worked for me. There was quite a selection to choose from and she really made this process seem easy and pleasant. It's obvious Marilyn knows her optics. I don't know if she's the owner or a partner, but she certainly knows how to take care of her customers. She was warm, welcoming, and, most importantly, patient. She took the time to help me even though it was a busy day. And yes, I should probably mention that I did end up buying a pair of binoculars--and I'm very happy with them! I also expected to pay a premium for what I purchased simply because of the location. To my surprise, when I got home to check reviews, I also found out there wasn't any crazy markup. There was none. I already felt like I had won by finding a quality product while traveling, only to discover I didn't have to pay the "tourist tax" for it. NICE! This tells me they're not exploiting their customers when they obviously could. Even if there had been a premium, Marilyn was such a genuinely friendly person that I wouldn't have thought twice about it. Great customer service goes a long way. And, not being completely selfish, we were also able to pick up a few things for our kiddo, who wasn't with us on the trip. There were so many interesting things to choose from that could keep a kid--or a young engineer--busy for quite a while. I would absolutely stop by this shop again and would recommend giving it a visit if you're in the area. Thank you, Marilyn! We really appreciate you!

The stuff here probably won't bowl you over the way some of the more high-end, artsy pieces at the other stores will, but if you're not down with surrendering a lot of money on jewelry there is a wide array of gorgeous casual jewelry here and phalanxes of artsy silver rings. They also have a fairly good selection of men's bling as well, which I appreciate. If I hadn't blown all my money at the Gallery Bookshop (and at Papa Bear's Chocolate House *cough*) I'd've walked out with a ring or two.

We spent one of our days casually strolling the downtown part of Mendocino, and searched for businesses we just had to check out. Of course, this means finding a good bookshop. And, this one did not disappoint! Such a fantastic selection of diverse books. Such fun gift ideas and home decor knick knacks and merch stuff, too. We are so loaded up on books (think stacks on stacks on stacks), but we wanted to support this business, so we bought a big candle and some fun stickers. I highly recommend Gallery Bookshop, and I'll definitely plan to return next time we're in the area.

It's just across from the coast.

This store has so many amazing things to choose from! Whether you're looking for a beautiful diamond engagement ring, a hard to find piece of jewelry or interesting antique, they have an eclectic selection to choose from. If you're interested in a musical instrument, Tom can help you out with his knowledge. And Andy has a vast experience of antiques and old coins. I recommend shopping here instead of going to an expensive retail shop. They do their best to make sure that you're taken care of! They will also package everything up in a nice box with pretty bag, if it's a gift. Go check this place out at least once! Whenever I'm in town, I stop by, because they always have new inventory to choose from. Also, if you need extra cash, they're there for your pawn needs as well. So if you're looking for a place to go shopping, or just get rid of some old gold, or silver jewelry or coins that you don't want anymore, go check this shop out! I always leave with smile! Thanks Heidi!

It isn't thin or the cheap stuff that will get ruined in a matter of time. It's soft and really comfortable to the touch. So many choices of hooded sweaters, T-shirts, cool socks, scarves, wrist warmers, beanies and other Knick knacks. You name it they got it in here and at decent prices. New stock apparently comes in on the frequent and when that happens you'll find the old going on sale and that's asking for my pocketbook to go empty. I definitely had to hold myself back. Friendly staff nearby ready to help if there was any to be had and simply just to hold some conversation. Definitely recommend to stop by and pick something up in case you forget a warm covering along with a souvenir.

They have a huge selection of finger puppets, small to large stuffed animals. They have puppets with those clingy arms. The awwwwww factor is high. A nice selection of clothes that I like--cotton drawstring pants, SOCKS, hand knit hats (my head is too big :{ sadly) Life is Good tee-shirts and other girly/shabby stuff. There is a limited selection of stuff for men. Cool pirate maps, small bottle of pirate "gold" too. EARRINGS--nice selection--I can't believe I actually didn't buy a pair. They also have decorative stuff that I liked but I would never buy since they are so fragile---"Stained" glass pictures on stands--I loved the one with the b/w cat. They also have soaps and lotions, jams, etc. They have a lot of stuff in a small space. It is neat and tidy. A must-see for shopaholics, Husbands and sons will not appreciate it!
