Very helpful associates with no judgment. I found exactly what I wanted, wide selection no matter what your sexual desires.

I went over to the dildo section, and it must have been a return because it smelt like crap. Many health code violations! I always appreciate a little toy to pass around with the homies while I crack them goodnight, so I bought it. The worker that looked like Palm Beach Pete had told me that I would be better off in his bed because he could "loosen me up." It's a great toy, overall, and it was fairly priced. read more

I'm so sorry this review has taken me so long to write, just wanted to say that I had the best customer service from the very professional and patient staff member Ox! 10/10 thanks!! read more

Ox was super amazing and helpful, literally could ask him any question and he knew the exact answer to everything, it's like if he knew every product in the store, super helpful amazing experience, would come again just for Ox ! read more

Dude i love this shop, i'm there maybe once a week a checking out the merch and stocking up on supplies. I'm never really sure what to buy but i swear ox knows everything. You can describe whatcha want and like a genie he summons it. The employees make the place feel fun to be in rather than nerve wracking. 10/10 would absolutely recommend i'll be back very soon. read more

Romantix - Adult Shops Near Me - Pasadena, California

This place is amazing thank you ladies for helping get the product I needed so I'll be back to buy more

Been here several times when looking for that special! Gift! Customer service is great and they'll even recommend things for you! Great selection too! read more

Rose is the best and so helpful! She made the experience so pleasant! i highly recommend this shop.

Wide selection of all sorts of cool things, knowledgeable and welcoming staff, great location.

The selections of items were pretty good and displayed well. The service was OK not to friendly though.

Been shopping here forever, everybody's very cool and seem happy to help? And it's the first time someone recommended a 'replacement warranty' after I mentioned that a favorite pump never seemed to last! I listened and bought it, and glad I did. read more

What a great place for those bedroom fantasies. It's not one of those seedy alley looking shops. There's no need to explore the internet when you can see sex products in person. The staff was very nice and helpful. read more

Romantix - Blonde ambition - Adult Shops Near Me - Pasadena, California

Romantix in Pasadena sells a substance called amyl nitrate, and it goes by the street name "poppers." It's used as a muscle relaxer with euphoric properties when having sex, making out, or dancing with your pals at a party. In fact, it sits in a case next to the cash register and there are many varieties of it including Rush, Blue Boy, Jungle Juice, etc. I requested a bottle by its street name and was given the store policy speech that it's an illegal substance in the state of California, and that they don't carry the item. I glanced at the cash register and saw that they were fully stocked. Realizing my mistake by not speaking in code, I requested it by brand name only to further be told that since I already called them "poppers" -- that despite carrying said illegal substance, they cannot sell it to me bc I would make illegal use of it. I felt really dumb, especially since I was looking forward to getting stuffed this Thanksgiving evening. Everybody knows what poppers are used for, and that's why sex stores carry them. I didn't like being turned away in a sassy fashion, especially after the store clerk acknowledged that they indeed carry said illegal item, but its fine. I get it; the employee was just likely just protecting his job. Here's my question though: Why are you selling a product that you tell your customers is illegal? Also if you choose to buy poppers here, don't call it by that name. Chances are they'll sell it to you if you just call it by its brand name. read more

The location is one of the smallest I've seen for this company. You barely even notice it between the eateries around it. The lingerie options are extremely minimal and very bland. The toys were no better. But the place was clean and the one guy working there was nice but clearly desperate for a sale on the limited options. Not worth returning to unless you know cor sure they have what you want. Oh also the parking is only available in the structure a few blocks away now due to the restaurants taking over the street for dining. read more

Each time I've gone into this store the service, cleanliness and product availability have been consistently good. Victor is one of the guys that seems to be there when I go in. He's knowledgeable of products and will assist without making you feel embarrassed. He's always been pleasant and doesn't follow you around like some of the other Adult stores in LA, or constantly ask if you need help while you browse or shop around. Tonight my experience was the same as I explained in the beginning of this review. Keep up the great service Victor. read more

Horrible!!!! I got here ten minutes before closing and sales person wouldn't open the door. I knew exactly what I needed, and it would've only taken two minutes for my purchase. I've worked and managed retail for years. I get that you might have something to do on a Fri night. But the hours are until 12, not 11:50! I hope home girl enjoys her night, because she messed up mine. I walked into hustler across the street. At least they had good customer service to open the door and tell me they were closing, and asked if I knew what I needed. read more

Great place. There is a variety of options to choose from your liking. Was very welcomed and was explained well if I had any questions. Very nice and patient staff read more

Romantix, is the best adult store around Pasadena area as well as the Greater Los Angeles area in my opinion. I'm born and raised here in Pasadena and this store has been here since I was underage and was only able to look through the window and I am now 45 years old. The longevity of the business being centralized in Old Town Pasadena where it's hard to hold a business with all the other successful businesses around. When you have product that accommodate the masses, then you have lifetime customer like myself. It's quite funny now that I can talk about being a frequent customer there because I'm sure there are people that want to keep it quiet about themselves but I'm a pretty open book and I use their products and they have served me and my Partners well. If you're an adult and still a kid at heart like children used to love going to Toys R Us or some adult man like going to the auto store or the hardware store then add this to your list because you're going to fall in love once you enter. I only ask that you be mature minded and respectful to the business as well as the other patrons that are frequenting the store. We are all adults nothing to be embarrassed about so embrace and go shop. read more

I have no doubt that this place is awesome. I have not yet been inside but I feel like I should notify everyone that the hours that is posted on maps for this business 10am to 2am is incorrect The correct hours is 1 PM to 11 PM. Probably due to Covid. read more

Romantix - This is the incorrect hours. - Adult Shops Near Me - Pasadena, California

See all

The staff is knowledgeable about their products and very friendly, and if you feel embarrassed or shy on going, they do not make you feel that way. Sorry, I do not have pictures. I don't think it is allowed, but I never asked read more

COMPLETELY RUDE & UNPROFESSIONAL. I was browsing through the shop and became interested in their Rush Brand cleaners. I asked the women (brown hair olive skin glasses ) behind the desk what the prices were. Instead of assisting me, she shamed me for even asking what the prices were. Telling me things that the product makes you brain dead etc. The LAST thing I expect from a sex shop is to be SHAMED; I also cannot believe that an employee would advertise their products as such. read more

Wry family staff member helped out with a lot of questions we had. Will return for more items in near future

This place is fun!! Wandered in here with some friends and was met with kind staff. The store has just about anything you'd want. Highly recommend! read more

Best place in town to find some toys for the bedroom best prices in town on lube. Must go place

Had a great time shopping with David who was really nice and helpful. Will definitely be back to buy more lube and stuff soon.

This review may not be suitable for some readers. You have been warned.......................... *************************************************** I did not come here for myself..I swear. My friend needed a BOB (battery-operated-boyfriend), so here we are now....Writing a review about an adult store. They changed owners and the name. Two women work there now and it's a lot less creepier. The staff was professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. The business was clean and it seemed geared more towards women than men. Now comes the interesting portion of the review...The videos. I was laughing so hard at the selection of porn DVD's. There were spoofs of "Friends", "Gilligans Island", and etc. Staff lady: "If you think those videos are funny, check the ones downstairs" me: "What? You have a downstairs??" So, off I went. Let me give you a run down of some of the names: "Fire in the hole", "Space Nuts", "Truth or Hair". If you want a casual atmosphere, where you don't feel violated...This would be a place I recommend. It's not as nice as Hustler, but it's cheaper and not in Hollywood. It's all about pleasing the women here. read more

Gabriel is knowledgeable and friendly. He takes the time to explain different products and is super helpful. Will definitely come again and again. Thanks for a satisfying experience. read more

Came in during hours they were supposed to be open. The front door said will be back in 30 min, with the clock facing 6:30pm. was there 6:50pm and waited till 7:15pm, and still no one arrived. Multiple customers wanted to go in that time frame and could not enter. Lost business. read more

Haha this place! I always feel a little naughty walking in here. Are people staring at me? Just seems so off and out of place for Pasadena. good customer service...movies and she's downstairs. Good selection of um...toys..and um...clothing. Actually I really like the lingere here! They have a dressing room too. Theres another store in Glendale but this ome is closer. read more

Britt was super helpful and sweet! Very clean, organized store. Great sales too!! Found everything I needed to host a bachelorette party! read more

I've been shopping here for years and always have a pretty good experience. But tonight I was charting new territory and Aubrey was so helpful! She had great insights and was just super sweet! Definitely recommend it read more

S'aiight. The staff was friendly enough, and it's stock is very female-oriented. Lots of dildos, vibrators, oils and lubes, as well as a few dress-ups. Some handcuffs. Plenty of hilarious DVDs downstairs - a must-see even if you're not going to buy any videos! Or better yet, buy one for your friend. I did. Store was clean, no shady people in the shop. You take your purchase out in a black bag, yaaaay ~ This is a pretty basic selection, so if you're looking for a replacement toy, this is a great place. Otherwise if you're looking for a wider selection [BDSM products, books, more underwear options, games...], I'd recommend The Pleasure Chest in WeHo. Haha, funny story, last time I went to Romantix, the employee was putting away an empty blow-up doll box, complaining that someone stole the doll! Why would anyone steal a blow-up doll?!? Too bored to use your hand, but too poor to buy a doll, eh? Really now. read more

This is one of the worst sex shops I've ever visited. I can't believe there isn't anything better in Pasadena! This place must only stay in business due to the lack of local competition. The toy selection is dismal; everything is low quality. I can't comment on the porn selection; I didn't stay to check it out. read more

After Barney's Beanery my friends and I were walking around Old Towne. We stumbled on Le Sex Shoppe since it was open 24 hours and we figured well why not. The main floor (front portion) has all of the toys, whips, and gag gifts. There is also a room at the end of the store with the fetish type outfits. We were all wondering where the movies were and TADA!!! Let's go downstairs. We get downstairs and it is DVD central. The entire bottom floor is filled with DVDs! They had every kind you can imagine: "regular," homo, orgies, gang bangs, tranny, hermas, everything! My gf and I were walking around and pointing out specific titles or dvd covers that were interesting. This store is basic and simple. Wish they had a Pleasure Chest near by. Poor selection of toys and stuff if you ask me. Lots of DVDs though. Drinks and then an adult shop. What a good night at Old Towne. :D read more

I'm a freak. I like having 2 liter bottles shoved up my butthole. J.K. Or am I? I am. Went here with a couple girls one night and one of them ended up dropping like 2 bills on vibrators n such. Granted, this is the only sex shop I've been to, but shouldn't they have more stuff for the guys? I'm trying to dress up like a dalmation and violate something that's powered by steam and coal. I mean come on, is that too much to ask? read more

I knew a few homies from high school that worked here. Too bad they were never able to hook a brother up with some discounts. I hear that the owner was a real jerk. That's here say, so don't quote me. I never bought condoms, or any of their contraptions, etc... I was only interested in the porn collection. You could get a membership and just rent stuff. They had a nice selection. I haven't been here in a few years, but I remember renting stuff like "The Ozzporns," and some of the gangbang compilations. Good stuff. The prices were okay, and if I had an off night at Q's or Moose MCGuilleyCuddies, I could come buy and rent shit. There's nothing like renting porn while drunk. At least you have something to look forward to besides dry balls. Yeah, this was quite a while ago before I had game. read more

Hopeless Romantix. Whose idea was this? Snug right between an Umami Burger and interior design firm, both of which manage to be more stimulating. Though the hearty selection of vibrators kept the boyfriend busy for a moment, it's absolutely not a one-stop-shop for couples or gay men. Yes, the limited selection for this adult store chain is simply offensive. But alas, it is Old Town Pasadena after all..... read more

This place ain't great, but the staff is friendly and all I come here ever for is lube and to laugh. (Not necessarily in that order.) This store used to be better when the video/DVD part of it was the main focus. Ownership changed and we have this new place. Granted there has been a porn shoppe here in this location since the late 80s. This shop is definitely geared more toward women, not that I care, but a woman complaining about this place is like the pope complaining about not having enough religion or a dictator saying he doesn't have enough power. I mean for real, I know women are SUPER DEMANDING when it comes to all things related to sex, but how many dildos you need? Need more anal bead selection? This is one of the larger (haha, no pun intended) selection of vibrators and dildos you see around at these places. You'll see couples in here a lot. It adds a certain element of humor to the place since I'm usually half intoxicated when I come here. To any woman complaining about this place I would say, "STFU". Deal with it. All shops have their sketchy people roaming in and out. What? You don't think vagrants don't want to be loved? The place where they lack though is in the variety of lube they have and the condom selection -which I shouldn't really care about since I don't ever buy condoms. Still though, you want your local porn shop to be varied and well rounded. If you just need to stroke it and want less friction, they got your needs covered here. For a quick laugh in Olde Town, this might be the place. If you have real purchasing needs, go somewhere else. read more

I had the craziest fun time here with my friend's boyfriend for a "for kicks adventure." There was a funny awkward moment where the lady asked for ID before I was about to buy my, uh stuff, and I was surprised she had to see my ID. Me: "Wait, you have to be 18 to buy anything?" Her: *exasperated-sounding* "You're not 18??" Me: "Oh, wait I am...I'm 19, actually." *gets out ID* Her: "You have to be 18 to even enter the store. I just knew you were over 18 by how you were walking around here." *goes into long conversation about how high schoolers act in a sex shop and something about me still being young and having a lot to learn or something.* Anyway, interesting employees here. Don't be afraid to ask them questions, just don't push it and they probably won't embarrass you haha. If nothing else, it's worth a fun peek with some friends in Old Town at night. read more
