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. Views are spectacular inside and outside. Small narrow space, but perfect for a unique gift shop. Decent value. Shop ends at the stairwell in back. Highly decorated at every shelf and angle. 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.

All the pastries are from local favorites, can't go wrong with a chocolate croissant from Otto's Bakery in my opinion. The quiches from Paris Bakery are a more savory option, but you really can't go wrong. The little ones love the "pop tarts from Lupitas Bakery. As for the coffee, hubby loves the lattes. I hear everyone order the lavender vanilla but we haven't jumped on the floral coffee bandwagon just yet. I love they offer unsweetened matcha and use good grade matcha. Only small irk was the cold foam was half my cup, delicious? Yes. However, I will skip the foam route and keep my full 20 ounces for matcha. The "vibe" as the kids say is fun, inside seating is very limited but plenty of outdoor dog friendly space on the patio. Parking is complicated being right off the highway and next to a popular breakfast spot, so be cautious, but definitely give it a try.

She took the time to give me honest, gentle feedback on the headbands I tried -- what really suited me and what didn't -- and it felt like she genuinely wanted me to feel good, not just make a sale.

I always return to places where I feel seen and cared for, and Celeste made the experience feel personal and special. I'm already eyeing the beautiful bags they carry to help elevate my everyday style.

Today there was a guy who's card was declined and he was giving the lady at the register a hard time about it. Turns out they found another form of payment and thought it was okay to cut in line in front of us. In any case, we don't know what the owners have been through that day or what stupid people have been in there before us that may have caused a scene. We were in search of some souvenirs since we were vacationing in Monterey for the week. I had been in search for a backpack for some time that wasn't a cheap looking drawstring backpack. This place had exactly what I was looking for. I just love my back pack! This place also has your typical Monterey sweatshirts and teeshirts and other little Knick knacks. Also walking distance to hotels on Cannery Row. They have the best prices in cannery row by far in my opinion. I also thought the lady at the cash register was very pleasant and we chatted for a bit. She was very pleasant.

It was a little pricy at $110, but we like to support local art. The attendant gave us a new one in the box, instead of one already hanging that we were looking at. When we got home to Arizona, I unpacked the item, and found a MADE IN CHINA TAG!!! They appear to buy cheap art from China, and mark it up. If you want to support local art, find another store.

I hated this place. It has nice things, but they are so expensive that it made me mad. Now, I…read moreexpected that things would be expensive, I mean it's a gift shop for tourists (i.e., things will be overpriced) and at Big Sur (i.e., an area where everything is overpriced). But if you look at something in this gift shop, and think about what would be an overpriced price for it, and then double that, then you'll almost be at the price for it. Like there was this tiny little jar of local salt that was about the size of a thimble, and I thought oh that's cute, maybe that would be a nice souvenier, and then it was either $17 or $19 when I looked at the price. I mean it was tiny!! I mean, it was the kind of thing that should be like $3, but I thought gift shop so probably $7 or $8, but no, more than double that. Things were crazy expensive, and the more I looked at things, the more it just pissed me off, and took away from the experience of even just looking at nice things without intention to buy. It made me want to leave the store. I've never had a feeling like that in any touristy gift shop I've ever been to in my life, not anywhere in the US including other coastal areas of CA, not overseas. It was also not friendly while you are browsing, nor welcoming when you walk in. I would not go here again, and I would not recommend it to friends.
