The trading post is a good option to drop by if you want to get some Liqour or snacks, they have a ton of options to choose from. They have a bunch of candy options and chips that were imported from Mexico. They are all organized and always have their shelves stocked and it is always clean inside. They have a lottery ticket machine and a ATM inside. The service there is good and if you ever have any questions they won't hesitate to answer. read more

Went there this morning and when I first got there, there was a sign saying they would be back in 5 minutes. They did come back in 5 minutes and then I walked in. First off, the young man working there didn't even greet me. When he did come to the register, I gave him a scratcher and lotto ticket to redeem. He did the lotto ticket and then scanned the scratcher and told me he didn't have enough cash to give me since they just opened, which I understood. I asked if he had at least $40 and he said yes. I went to get a drink so I could get cash back and he told me I didn't need to buy anything to get cash back. So then he told me to tap my card and didn't tell me he charged me $3.69 in addition to my cash back. I realized this after I checked my bank account. I don't know what that fee was for, but for all I know I bought him a drink. Wish I would have at least gotten a drink for that fee or been told there would be a fee. ‍ No receipt given to me either. read more

A great store that's a huge (HUGE!) upgrade from the liquor store that preceded it at the location. Trading Post has all the goodies you're looking for. Besides a huge selection of liquors and non-alcoholic libations, they have a large variety of hard-to-find snacks, including potato chips from other countries and candies you may have thought were extinct. Friendliest of employees and an atmosphere comfortable for browsing. Highly recommended for those in the area! read more

Hi neighbors! Just a quick heads-up to always double-check your receipts. I had an issue yesterday (2/15/26) where an item was scanned twice by mistake. I almost didn't catch it because I wasn't offered a receipt at first, but I'm glad I asked! Whether it was an honest error or something else, it's a good reminder to stay alert so you don't get overcharged. Let's look out for each other. Nonetheless, we love this store. read more

Literally felt like a little kid walking in because of all the candy and then I felt like happy adult kid when I saw all the beer and liquor lol Everything is so organized that you can send someone and give directions on where the candy is at and they will find it there.

Yayyy!! I definitely have to return and best part this place is literally by my sister place :) read more

This is my favorite place to get retro candy and drinks. You can buy everything from water, to alcohol, ice cream bars and even snacks like chips. I love to buy New York seltzers from here because they usually have black cherry flavor. I also love that they have sour belts they are my favorite. I can't complain about this place or service because I have not had a bad experience. The ambiance is great, good music playing while you shop and even a lotto machine. read more

A lot of stock , if you're into candy this is your place ., Caveat ? , if Erewhon started a chain of liquor stores this would be the model , horrifically expensive . Would you pay $4.00 for a snickers bar when You can buy one at Dollar tree for $1.26 ? . Save your money and go to Bev Mo . read more

I got a Japanese beer for like $6. The cashier said it tasted like coffee, but did not sell well. I wasn't a fan of the bitterness of the stout. The store has a cozy vibe to it. A lot of beer and liquor selections. Plus candy, I always try to look for Mars bar from my last review, but they haven't restock them since. Overall, friendly staff, and cozy vibes. read more

Found this place just by chance driving home from work one night and decided to check it out. I've now been going there for any of my drinks. I have always been greeted as I walked in and the staff is very helpful. The lady who works there (believe her name is Alva/Elva) is so sweet and friendly. I bought a Belgium beer once and she remembered me the next time I showed up and she suggested a sweetish strawberry Belgium beer which was delicious & a Raspberry beer (woman made). I am so glad she suggested them to me. I would honestly recommend people check it out & if you don't drink they have snacks, candies, sodas, etc that some places don't have all together. A bonus about here too is that the aesthetic of the store is western like so it stands out and sticks with you. read more

I like it, the options are decent, it's a small store so considering it's a nice liquor store packed with variety, very clean, nice staff. My only problem is that they charge you extra for using cards, by like a certain percentage and if you're buying multiple items, it can make you rethink coming here. If your gonna go just take cash read more

I'm sure this is an amazing place to get specialty alcohol an amazing spritzers. To be honest I'm more concerned with all the extras that they have. Their accessories are on point. I don't know about you but when it comes to giving gifts to kids i always throw in extra candy ! It's my job as a person who doesn't have a kid to try to get kids as hyped up on candy as possible ! We all have that cool family friend or aunt that buys you all the candy that you want. That's me! Now when I do this I'm really smart ! I buy the candy give it to the kids make them happy and then drop them off. Mama didn't raise no dummy! This is definitely one of those good stores to go to for that reason. Gift accessories and drinks! So much love when into this place love the prohibition theme. Good stuff ! Five star experience. Definitely going back for more read more

Brought my parents here to purchase and cash in a couple of winning lottery tickets, which it's not the first time. And they had the worst experience again. This place sells lottery tickets and they never have money to pay the patrons their winnings. I mean small amounts too. Their explanation was that they did not have enough money in the register. Really ALL the time!! Don't waste your money here! Over priced candy that you can find at your local Hispanic grocery store way cheaper and fresher! read more

You feel like a kid in a candy store but with beer too! This place is a gem. If you're a fan of beer, snacks and curiosities, come down here. It's a really fun place to visit.

Customer service was on point and their cashiers were real friendly. read more

The Trading Post is a Downey treasure. Free parking. Brew. Wine. Liquor. And even though they didn't have the whiskey I wanted, I'll be a repeat offender, er, customer. Throwback candy. Mexican candy. A few small gift items spread out and a card section. Some snacks. Lucky lotto retailer. Those silly scratch-offs make for fun stocking stuffers & ice breakers at boring work parties. The owners are nice & welcoming. Such a cute little store. Check it out & buy a bottle for me! read more

Purchase, Service, Food, Location Purchase: A small basket full of an assortment of candy pieces and Mexican Hot Cheetos. Service: The cashier was cool. Check out was quick and easy. Overall, the place had a really nice vibe. The store was very well organized and everything had price labels on it. They sell both individual candy pieces and bulk packages. They have a huge assortment of American candy, Mexican candy, chips, snacks, pastries, and beverages. It's great because you can mix and match individual pieces for a low price! They also have dirty worms and several large and mini liquor bottle/can options!! Location: This small shop is located in the corner of a small plaza. It's located next to Señor Birria. There is plenty of parking. Instagram: @socalflavor Check out my foodie page on IG for photos/reviews of great SoCal eats! read more

This was some time ago but every time I see this store on my Instagram feed it still burns me up. I went I. And spent a good amount on some Irish whiskey, (not my first time buying some either). I ask the guy for a bag and he sells me a basic brown paper bag for $3. I never went back again. The selection is great but gouging me for a brown paper bag, nah thanks. read more

Such an awesome gem in the corner of a ghastly plaza! I'm so glad I walked in to check it out -- they've got amazing beer selections and the owner (I presume) was super down to earth, gave me some recommendations but didn't push too hard nor give me a beer snob vibe. He was super chill and the atmosphere of the place was mellow, almost feels like walking into a candy store but for adults. nice liquor store for beers if you're near the area! read more

I been coming here for over two years now. It's my favorite spot for drinks and old school candy and soda. The vibes here are everything. Israel is the reason I continue to shop here. His energy is positive and just perfect over all. Also I recommend buying the trading post t-shirt and wear its so comfortable and why not represent youur favorite spot. My family also comes here and we just love him. I highly recommend this spot to anyone. They treat you like family. It's a beautiful feeling. Thank you Israel for being the best ever!! read more

Went there 7/23/23 at almost 6pm. The guy that worked there was on my husband and I the whole time! Definitely profiled us and made us feel uncomfortable. Granted, we were the only ones in the store at one point, but the employee made it a point to always be doing something around where we were just to see what we were doing. It was our first, and most likely last time there thanks to this guy. We were newbies who were walking around and looking at their merchandise. Too bad because they had some neat stuff. If it wasn't for this unpleasant first experience, I would definitely be going back. read more

Found this gem by accident. Besides liquor have a variety of snacks. Thanks to Dave for the help around store.

Decided to stop by and try their Free Friday tasting, what a cool spot. Feels very inviting as you walk in, very bright and organized.
