This lady named lane was working and she was the most unprofessional and rude customer service…read moreworker I've ever met and dealt with in my life. My friend bought an item she first incorrectly put how much you have to pay in which it was $11 and then she corrected herself and put $16 for him to pay and he made a joke saying oh can we just do the $11 and she proceeded to yell at him and threatened to kick us out of the store after he paid so that she made sure the sale went through. Then she started going pharaoh on us and he tried to return it because this is not customer service that we look for and she told him she could only do store credit and laugh in his face. We ended up leaving and we will never be returning here. I'm extremely disappointed because we are regular shoppers there and we couldn't imagine why someone would treat someone else that way.

Love their stuff, especially their clothes. The only problem is that 90% or more of the beautiful…read moreclothes you see are all "one size". 'One size' usually does not fit anyone nicely... too large for small people, and too small for large people. It seems like just a very cheap way to go when there are whole stores of clothing offering everything in just 'one size' (and Coco Rose is certainly not the only store to do this). It is just frustrating and annoying and disappointing to see clothes you love and can afford but know the one size option is not gonna work. I can not understand why there can not be at least 3 sizes made, such as XS/S, M/L, and XL/XXL to give people more options. Other than that, its a cool store with friendly employees and decent prices for being in a tourist area.

From the moment you walked in, I was surrounded by a beautiful selection of raw stones, polished gems, and unique pieces for any type of energy work or personal collection. What really stood out to me were the stunning amethyst pieces - both the cathedral formations and the winged amethyst clusters. The wings amethysts were absolutely mesmerizing, with their intricate shapes and deep purple hues, while the winged ones felt like a work of art. I couldn't help but admire them for a while! The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, offering insights into the healing properties of the crystals without being pushy. I ended up picking up a few pieces that I'm absolutely in love with and will definitely be back for more. If you're into crystals or just curious about them, I highly recommend checking out this shop. It's a peaceful, welcoming place with so much to explore, and I can't wait for my next visit! They got Amethyst mirror geode as well :)

Food was good, service annoying. Went for late lunch 1pm,…read morehad chicken kabobs. Really good. Not a unique choice, but that was because we tried to order three "specials" of the "daily specials" card were not available, huh? Why have a special if not available. Strange note: a group of 3 people came in, were told to pick a table, they sat at a 6 chair table (12 or so total tables in the place) then the waitress asked them to move to a smaller table in case a big party needed the table. First, it was 1pm on Monday. Second, we were the only two groups in the place. Third, if a large group had come, they could easily move a couple of the other 10 tables around. I would have moved to another table at a different restaurant. Nothing seemed customer focused. Maybe that's why it was empty, usually empty when we walk by. UPDATE: Aug 2013- Went back on a Friday night with some friends and accidentally arrived just before the "show." The staff was super nice and squeezed us into a side table which was very nice. We ordered some sides and different foods, all were VERY good. The price was very fair based on how well we were treated. We will be back often to enjoy. Thank you!

Juli uses her vast network of suppliers and passes along her discount pricing to her clients. We interviewed several interior designers before meeting and selecting Juli, and we highly recommend her for your interior design needs!!!

I had some pots from Anthropologie and other various places I was itching to fill with plants. Landmark will do that for you for a very small (reasonable) potting fee, which kind of made the process even more fun. The few times I've been in the store, the staff have been very knowledgeable about plant varieties and care. And in addition to my birthday plant, I've gotten 4 more of my own plants and another for part of a baby shower present. In addition to a wide variety of plants, they also have cards and other gifts. Love this store!

Here, they were able to give me exactly what I was looking for just under our budget of $100. The ladies here are so sweet and you can tell that they care about what they do. Their work is creative, natural, and full of heart. I highly recommend them for both everyday and special occasions!

I stopped by with two of my friends on Sunday and someone said that she had never been in the bazaar yet had noticed it for years. My other friend chimed in with, "I do not need a dreamcatcher or crochet plant holder". It is a great place to people watch, and I find it ironic that someone has built a giant art project featuring a surfing Buddha made entirely of trash, given that many of the products sold there are going to end up there. The symbolism of Encinitas culture is hard to ignore with Paramahansa Yogananda's Ashram Center and Meditation Gardens perched above one of the greatest surfing spots in the world.
