There are actually also great views of the bay from the shop-reason alone to stop by! Friendly staff who are helpful and always willing to help you get stuff down on higher shelves make this a pleasant shopping experience. They have some great Bodega Bay shirts that are reasonably priced with some fun designs. There's a few I was tempted to take home with me! Super cool shop and a great place to look for your a memento from your trip up the coast.

Mermaid sign - super cute!

I collect magnets on my trips. This one is so nice!

My husband surprised me with a candle making workshop / class. The website says that you are welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks to enhance the candle fun. Hot wax and small vittles are a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon! Jenn our fearless soy candle leader was informative and fun. I appreciate her authenticity and real connection that she made with us. It was nice to meet someone who was able to be themself. Refreshing. The entire class was an intimate group of five total. Jenn took her time with us and made sure that we were happy with the scents we chose for our candles. The class spends a bit of time talking about scents and how to layer them. Did I learn how to make candles on my own? No. It was more of an introduction to the world of candle making. Give it a try and dip your wick into it. FYI: You get a 15% store wide discount on the day of the workshop. Scents open up more fully in your candle after a few days. One Disappointment: We checked Google and Yelp for their hours and thought we could make it before they closed. We raced over for our candles after work. Google & Yelp HAVE MISINFORMATION about HOURS. We tried to call...no answer. Hours are not posted on their door. So check their website for their hours.

Andy and Drew came by and made great suggestions as to what to plant to replace them, to compliment the 1 remaining date palm. We followed their guidance and selected 2 Mediterranean fan palms.

The palms are now in the ground and look beautiful, we couldn't be happier! If you are thinking of planting palms or bamboo, look no further!

So not only did the owner reply to me she lied with justifying their behavior with, that was the time Hispanics were disappearing from ICE. When you make politics part of your business, especially spreading lies and interfering with police... you fail! Every job I've had we were never allowed to interfere. The owner is a liar She claims people disappeared...so she doubled down instead of apologizing for her employees, disgusting behavior. If you want to go protest... close-up shop take your signs and go protest. You shouldn't let it be interfering with your business. That was a dumb idea. read more

We were in a real bind --…read moreI had completely underestimated how long it takes to get a gift basket delivered (apparently about a week!), and I realized far too late that we needed something ready before visiting a client. To make matters more complicated, the basket was meant for a group in an office setting, and while the shop offered gourmet baskets with locally sourced items, they didn't have quite the right mix of items on hand for that kind of crowd. But instead of turning us away, they stepped in with creativity, flexibility, and genuine kindness. We brought in items we thought would work, including some company promotional items, and they beautifully arranged everything into three polished, professional gift bins that looked like they had been planned weeks in advance. They truly saved the day. Their willingness to help, attention to detail, and can-do attitude made all the difference. It's rare to find a business so committed to making things work for their customers. We're incredibly grateful and we'll absolutely be back. Thank you for going above and beyond!

The place seemed a bit run down and very different from photos other Yelpers posted 3+ yrs ago. We walked around for a good 20 minutes, no one was there or came out to help us. The prices on everything had faded. Finally I heard a radio sound coming from the office and I went in and asked the guy if he could help us. He came out, plugged the fountains into the electric socket and went back into his office, lol. So this time we looked at the fountains that were working. A few under the roof still had legible price tags but I couldn't understand why 2 fountains of the same size varied in price so much. Unfortunately the gentleman working there didn't speak much English. I ended up buying a small fountain and I got my sister a pretty turquoise bird bath which I got a good price for since the glaze was peeling. My fountain makes more of a clopping sound when water goes through that's why I put stones. Maybe that's why some of the same fountains were more expensive, the cut outs are a little different as these seem hand made and they make different waterfall sounds. It was hard to tell when they were all on at the place. But I'm happy with my little fountain.
