Ye Olde Soap Shoppe - Soap - Skin Care Near Me - San Diego, California

Here I was, minding my own business-walking down the street of Old Town San Diego when I smelled the most Heavenly of scents. Boom! I was hit with the fragrances from Ye Olde Soap Shoppe-and I immediately switched direction and walked toward the store-like a zombie in a trance. This place has the yummiest of all yummy things-soap, lotion, candles, you name it. Many of the soaps are made semi-locally, just up the coast. If you're looking for a gift or want to pamper yourself, this is the place to go. I plan on returning with a new carry on bag so I can load up and take a bunch of goodies home! read more

I enjoyed visiting this shop for the first time tonight. The scents were amazing. Not overpowering but nice and light. I would have bought more than one lotion probably but it is a small shop and the owner has a lg table in the center that is not mobility device friendly. I only saw about a 1/3 of the store‍you might want to reconsider that space. read more

"Is that Cinnamoroll!?" - staff "Why yes it is, just bought it for my 23 y/o daughter!" - wife In a pinch for a great gift is exactly where we found ourselves. Birthday of our daughter and we're completely out of time. After grabbing a stuffy we dashed into the "Ye Olde Soap Shoppe", we were greeted by the staff that included Celeste and Jan! They quickly made us feel right at home and Celeste went right to work showing us the great ideas she had in mind for our daughter. After all she knew Cinnamoroll, what luck?! She could not been more spot on with her recommends, and for connect with what we were looking for. The shop is so cute and worth the stop by for all your gift, soap, and aroma needs. Thanks Ladies, Great Job! The Highly Critical Duo! read more

Ye Olde Soap Shoppe - Store front - Skin Care Near Me - San Diego, California

Soaper cute for all your self care needs! I wandered in to past time before my bus and it is an adorable place with many scents wafting into your nose right when you walk in. The price point is high but it's a very convenient one stop shop for yours or someone you want to gift bath and body products because there is a large variety to choose from that would suit everyone's needs. I didn't think I was actually going to get anything but the berry cutest strawberry soap caught my eye. A small cut is $5.95 which seemed worth it to support a soap store and the art of soap making. It smells and looks absolutely scrumptious! You can't go wrong just stopping by if you happen to be in the area or looking for a gift. read more

5-stars for the lady who was helping me this evening...she was sticky-sweet and helpful! But.... Everything here is waaay expensive (tourist prices) The Avaha radiance-energizing-day-cream-spf-fifteen was selling at the shop for $ sixty-something dollars, whereas on the Avaha website, it's $55... AND... the product at the store was EXPIRED!!! I brought it to the attention of the shop attendant. So, if you're going to spend tourist money here, make sure you check the expiration dates!!! Update: soooo, check this out... I came back several days later 9/27/22, at 8:55pm and guess what I observed??? The expired Avaha products were put back on the shelf for sale!!!!!! So shady!!!!! I pointed it out, yet again, to the associate working tonight (different than the one previous), so let's see if the product is still on the shelf next week... read more

Ye Olde Soap Shoppe - 1 oz of hand lotion, $8! - Skin Care Near Me - San Diego, California

If you need soap, Ye Olde Soap Shoppe is the place to check out. They have a great selection of soaps (including bombs) to select between. They also have an area in the back corner of the store carved out for men's supplies (including soaps) that cater a little more towards what men typically like for soap smells. In addition to the soaps they had a nice selection of lotions, my wife actually really liked one for her mom, so we grabbed one for her to take back to her. Prices were a little on the high side, in my opinion, but when you go to a specialty shop like this it's not the same thing as buying a brick of Ivory Soap bars for $3.95 at Walmart. These are very nicely packaged, with a huge variety of scents to choose from. Staff were friendly and helpful to all of the customers that were in the shop ... and there was a steady flow of people coming in and out. We'd check them out again if we were in the area. read more

Is this weird? We were staying in a hotel and didn't like their soap so when we saw Ye Olde Soap Shoppe we knew we had to go in and peruse the goods! Glad we did! They have so many wonderful middle and high end soaps. I purchased bar soap that smells like heaven, well, it smells like flowers - which is what I imagine heaven to smell like, and I purchased some honey hand lotion. The soap was just the thing I needed, very emollient (creamy and sudsy) and the lotion smells wonderful. Very girly shop. I love shops like this. read more

This store has always been amazing, and I've always left happy, but today takes the cake! I came in looking for party favors for my bridal shower, and the customer service was impeccable. We had a large purchase, so we were in the store for a while. Denise was very attentive to our needs, and made sure to offer the same service to all other customers without making anyone feel left out. She greeted us as we came in, offering help, which we needed, so she finished with her current customers and made sure to get back to us in a friendly, timely, and professional manner. We ended up cutting the soaps up & wrapping them with Saran Wrap - they were an absolute hit! We left with everything we needed, thanks to her help! Ye olde soap shop, you guys have a keeper! Denise really went above and beyond, and I can't thank her enough. read more

I went in looking for something orange flavored but left with a watermelon and a lemongrass and cranberry seed. I absolutely wish I had bought more since I live in Alabama. I bought the whole bar and they cut them in half so it would be easier to use in the shower. I am obsessed with the lemongrass & cranberry seed. I will find a way to get more of these. And the young lady helping me was so helpful. Glad I stopped in there. read more

My favorite shop in Old Town San Diego. This is the quaintest little mom & pop shop. As soon as you walk in the shop you're enveloped in the warm woodsy atmosphere and delicious smells. They have a wide assortment of soaps, lotions, sanitizers, and gifts arranged by scent. Thyme fir is a personal favorite but each scent is rich in profile. Their are no cheap smelling scents here. It's also the perfect place to find gifts for the people in your life when you're just not sure what to get. A really nice candle or lotion is always a safe bet Check this place out - you will not be disappointed read more

Cute soap shop located in Old Town. They have yummy scented soaps and locations and other bath supplies. I came here last night with my friend and wanted to buy this chocolate souffle body butter that I had previously smelled here before and I loved that it smelled like chocolate pudding! It was $21.95 but all the containers had a broken seal. The employee called the owner and they gave me a 50% discount! Awesome! This is a cute place to put together a gift for someone! They have a wide range of homemade and French soaps! Worth a visit when you're in Old Town. read more

When did soap become chic? When you walk in the door of Ye Olde Soap Shop. Our ancestors used lye...or just didn't bathe. Poor bastards. If only they could get their hands on one of these lilac infused free range sequoia vanilla herb pomegranate soap bars with rose petals and hibiscus. Put one of these babies in your underwear drawer and Spring Freshness will replace whatever other smell is in there. Ladies oogle over this stuff. If you need to shower or bathe, or if you have a special lady you want to impress with your lilac and rosemary thoughtfulness, this is your place. Pick a soap at random. You will come out smelling like body butter. When my Signora finds one of these in her stocking on Christmas Day, she will smell as good as she looks! read more

Really loved this soap shop on my last visit to old town. Very nicely decorated and had so many options. Got several different soaps, mud mask and hand lotion. All are great products. The customer service is also superb, was greeted by Anjelica who helped me find all the items I needed. I'll definitely be back soon for my soap needs. read more

We stumbled across this shoppe on our second date! The shop was so perfectly organized but not nearly as perfect and gorgeous as my date herself! Upon entering we were welcomed with incredible aromas and greeted by the beautiful Eli! They were a phenomenal help in finding the scents we were searching for. Answering all our questions and making us feel comfortable and in a queer friendly space. Eli even helped us find a place to continue our date afterward! Thanks Eli, we appreciate you, stay awesome! There's some great soaps with artistic designs so I guarantee there is some perfect for you! Not only is there soaps, there's lotions, books and so much more, even some soaps that look like crystals:)Another plus, there's a great mirror surrounded by colorful candles and soaps perfect for pictures with a beautiful date! Thank you ye olde soap shoppe and even a bigger thank you to you ELI, we love you!!! read more

Stopped in a few weeks ago to get cute soap for my niece (6 years old) and my nephew (3 years old). The girl working was so nice. I told her I'd be flying home with the soap in my carry on and was worried it may mess up. She took the soaps to the back and double wrapped them for me! The kids also LOVED their soap! read more

I am a big supporter of small business, heck, I have my own consulting business. But this place is something else. I was in the store the other day, to buy my mother some gifts for mother's day (since she makes soap.) I was the only 1 in the store and I had to wait for the lady to finish chatting with the owner. That's ok, i had time, I could wait. Then, I asked for the thing that I was looking for - Instead of telling me what it is or where I might be able to find it, the owner said 1 word and 1 word only - "NO!' while not looking up & continue to water her flower pots. WTF?! Nice Customers service, thx! read more

I would give this place 0 stars if possible. Went here over the weekend because of the farmers markets outside of this shop. The inside is nicely decorated and merchandised perfectly but the owner should highly consider firing the weekend staff. We were not greeted or asked once if we needed help. The 3 employees just sat on the counter tops with their phones, giggling. As a business owner myself, I would be furious at my employees who clearly lack respect & customer service. Sadly I wanted to purchased candles and a book but I was so frustrated I had to walk out. I do not recommend this store and will not be returning! read more

It's really hard to go wrong with an upscale soap and beauty products store and this place definitely didn't do any wrong, although their high prices came pretty close =/ at 8 dollars for a 1" slice (give or take a buck). They had a large selection of soaps that was home-made but they also had a wide variety of other beauty products that were from other companies. From a brief look at their website, it doesn't look like it's related to the same place I saw in SD but I suppose it could be the same. I bought a completely frivolous clear soap in a clear bag tied at the top with a fish in it. Completely not practical at all....and $6 to boot. read more

Went here to get some gifts for family visiting from the Bay Area. I figured I'd get them something from Old Town. It was either soap or a sombrero.... There's tons of cool handmade soap that smell great, for a 1 inch bar is $8 If you go to the back of the store...they got some sensual stuff...think KY Jelly type stuff WINK WINK Cute little shop, but kind of pricey tho read more

This is a fun place to come browse if you're waiting for a table at Old Town Mexican Cafe down the street. There is a good selection of bar soaps and high-quality lotions. The prices are reasonable; I especially found the Pre de Provence soaps to be competitively priced. The ladies working there have always been friendly. If you want something beyond Ivory soap and harsh, petroleum-based lotions, this place is has many good products to try. read more

What a cute little shop right in the middle of Old Town! They offer a huge variety of handmade scented soaps with very beautiful designs as well as multiple branded soaps, lotions, shaving kits, etc. You walk into the store and are greeted by the smell of cleanliness. It took us quite some time to pick out our favorite smells and designs, at which point we took the blocks of soap to the counter where the very helpful staff slices off a 1 inch piece for right around $8. It seems a bit expensive, but a 1 inch slice is quite large. I choose lavender and oatmeal, and it smells like heaven. So excited to try it out. read more

This is a quaint little soap shop with a variety of handmade soaps and other unique gifts. I wasn't sure what to buy for a birthday gift and some stocking stuffers however with the help of Veronica, the lone employee the morning I shopped, i was able to find something for everyone. Veronica went out of her way to help me while also being courteous to other customers in the store. Great customer service can go a long way, and you will certainly get it here! read more

Smells great in here! "Gourmet" soaps, lotions, and candles. There was a bunch of rose smelling stuff, which I am usually a sucker for, but most of it was outrageously expensive...one bottle of lotion that I liked was $32.50. Eep, that's crazy to me. Great to look, but not to buy. read more

If you're are really into scents, aromas, soaps and bath bombs. This is the place !

Our service person was Veronica, SHE WAS SO NICE!!!!! Have a nice day! read more

I went there today and saw some absolutely gorgeous soaps and tons of other products. I was a little worried about the prices when I first walked in, but the saleswoman there helped me find something right in my budget and she was incredibly sweet and very helpful. The biggest problem is the parking. It's in Old Town, which is a gorgeous area with tons of great little shops, but the parking situation isn't the best. There are some paid parking lots, but a lot of them, even on a Wednesday morning, were full! I had my husband drop me off in front of the store. I will be shopping there again! read more
