Chatter Baux is perfect solution to the lightly used clothes and toys that are in your kids closet. All items in the store are on consignment for 2 months. When the 2 months is up you have 2 options: 1. Come find and get your items or 2. Your remaining items will go on the $1 sale. My daughter and I are frequent consignees here. From time to time we will purchase clothing, but what my daughter and I really love getting are the puzzles. The price point is perfect, all pieces are accounted for and when you do a puzzle 1 or 2 times then we usually are done. The owner of the store is very personable and kind. If your a Monterey local or someone visiting the area and forgot something for your kids, I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

The women that work in the store were amazing a huge selection of children's clothing. My granddaughter had so much fun in there she didn't wanna leave. Great prices highly recommend. read more

This place is incredible! So much of everything a child could ever need or want! The prices are great, and the shopping experience is fun. We had to find a last minute full ballet outfit and of course Chatter Baux had me covered. Also love the all movies they have! We picked up Bill Nye the Science Guy. Dollar days are the best! I believe it's the first week in the month? Definitely go check them out. Warning to not drop off donations however. They do appointments only. read more

Great selection of children's toys and stuffed animals for a really good price! Got a bunch of cute beanie babies :)

Great quality used children's clothes, toys, shoes, etc. They rotate stock regularly so there's always something new. Great place for consignment of clothes your child has outgrown. Definitely recommend, and check back often. read more

Great selection. I was able to find a sun hat for my little one! I also got a wetsuit that was seriously discounted and is now my child's most favorite thing ever! While in the shop, I overheard the owner interacting with her customers; she was so sweet and personable. There are stairs coming in the front entrance and when I was leaving, she insisted on helping me up the stairs with my purchase and stroller. She also informed me that, should I want to come back, there are no stairs at the back entrance. Great customer service is HUGE! Thank you! read more

Super friendly, excellent options. Community gem. Why buy new when you can get pretty much anything you need second hand for babies and kids. Awesome assortment of stuff. read more

This place is a must-visit if you live in the area or are visiting with kids. They have a bunch of unique items for kids that people put on consignment for you to buy. You can also make an appointment by calling if you have nice kids items to sell. My son always asks me if we are going to Chatter Baux whenever we are downtown. Last time we were there we found action figures, a nice book, and some pants for my 7-year-old son. Do yourself a favor and check out this awesome children's shop! Kids grow out of their stuff so quickly, this is a nice exchange for those $$ kids' items you need to replace. Great!!! read more

Great items at a great price. The owner is very helpful in helping you find exactly what you need.

Amazing assortment of children's clothes, books, toys and equipment. The staff is knowledgeable and welcoming.

Love love love this spot! Honestly it's a little overwhelming the first couple times you go in because she has so much stuff but you learn to love it! Great deals! Quality clothes! She looks over everything really well so you won't find junk for sale here. A big selection of toys, books, dance clothes, babywearing carriers, shoes, and seasonal items. She stocks everything by season so you'll be sure to be able to find a snow suit or swim suit depending on the season. Closed Sunday/Monday. Lots of items for sale for only $1 at the start of every month. Plus unsold items are donated to a local charity so nothing goes to waste! You can consign 15 items per month. Items that don't sell can be picked up or given to charity. Then use your store credit to find other treasures! A PG staple! read more

Chatter Baux Children's Shoppe - Toy Stores Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

I've been a loyal customer since 2004. Although the ownership has changed hands in that time, I'm still a fan. Alessandra (the owner) is organized as one could possibly be in this scenario. My idea of hell would be constant bombardment with "stuff". She manages to keep from going totally postal 99.9% of the time. Everything is organized using a computer program especially for consignment shops. It flawlwssly (in my experience) tracks the items you successfully sell and automatically adds that amount to your account. She knows what I look for when I'm in (new higher end brands) and always points me in that direction, sometimes pulling from the stash yet to be hung. You do need to inspect the clothing. Even those new items with the tags intact sometimes have rips, stains, etc. That being said, the owner has an incredible eye so when you bring your gently used items in to resale make sure they are stain-free and in great condition. It's amazing how much waste is involved with kids- not just in the diapers either. This is a great way to reduce waste and pass along your kid's favorites to the next kids in line. It's also been a blessing when my son is begging for a new toy. He loves playing in the toy area and usually finds something to feed the toy monster without mama having to drop $40 at Target. read more

This store has everything you could want and need for your growing kids. The items are reasonably priced and in great condition. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I will be returning to their staff when I can get to PG. read more

Love it here! They are very discerning about what articles they receive which equals only the best on their shelves and racks! It is great for everyday clothes all the way to formal wear. Large selection of boys and girls clothing and toys. Plenty of parking. I just wish they were open on weekends too! read more

Chatter Baux Children's Shoppe - Our Mommies both LOVE Chatterbaux - Toy Stores Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

This is a consignment store for children's clothes; they also have books, toys, strollers, and the like. The store is usually a bit disorganized, but for the deals available here, on clean, gently-used clothes, toys, and more, I don't mind. We take things in to try to sell; whatever they can't/won't take gets donated. Prices are excellent, and it's nice to get a few extra bucks when we can sell things here. Recommended. read more

I stop by here every time I'm in town, and always find tons of extremely affordable clothes for my kid. Like other reviewer mentioned, it is a bit messy, and very crowded. But I have to admit, I kinda like looking for those diamonds in the rough and going through all the racks. The prices are very very good, and everyone there is super friendly, unlike some of the kids consignment places close to my hood. (ie $15 for a USED 2 yr old's t-shirt. no thank you. Give me the $1 rack anytime!!) We've also bought a high chair, books, instruments there...it's probably good I don't live closer, or I'd be there all the time! read more

Alexsandra has truly mastered the art of children's consignment-don't let the amount of stuff packed in this space fool you! She knows her stuff, has a freakishly amazing memory when it comes to her inventory (which has a wide range) and she KNOWS her customers like nobody's business. The prices are great, the clothes are in fabulous condition and I have never bought a toy that didn't work and we have been going every Tuesday for the last 3 years. My 5 year old gives it 5 stars too! Best children's shop on the peninsula. Hands down. Oh, and check out her website-she doesn't consign the first 7 days of the month but she does have a dollar sale then. read more

It's a consignment shop. I wish a few things were different: a. the store was bigger and therefore more organized (you can't bring your stroller in) b. they could buy more than just 15 things a month c. a free bin would be cool (maybe there is one, but I didn't see it) d. it wasn't consigment. It would be nice if they would just give you a flat fee - say 1.00 or 50 cents per clothing item or just store credit in that same amount. e. opening a little earlier would be nice. They don't open until 10:30. I've been by several times only to find it not open yet. Closed Sunday and Monday. How it works is they price your stuff and if it sells in the next 90 days, they give you a percentage of what your stuff sold for either 60% store credit or after the 15th of the month they can give you a check for 40%. Your choice - store credit or a check. If your stuff doesn't sell in 90 days, you get to come back and wade through tons of stuff to try to find it and reclaim it, or just let it be donated away. When I was in, the gal told me it would be a 30 minute wait for her to go through my 15 items to see if they were worth selling in her shop. Several pieces weren't. 30 minutes is a very long time to wait when you have a one year old biting at your heels. A drop off situation would really help. If there are a lot of customers in line it can take a very long time to be helped. Again, if it wasn't consignment all the tags and tracking etc. would be done away with, but I understand people might want more return on their money for their things. Just wish it wasn't consignment. A flat fee to people for items and then send them out the door, that's what I say. read more

Decent prices on everything kids! Clothes, toys, furniture you name it they probably have it for the little ones. The store is stuffed with so many used and even a few new items. All the toys, and clothes that I have gotten have been in near perfect condition and the price fair. The selection for older boys is a little thin but I am sure that is because boys over 4 are a little harder on everything! Near the end of the month she runs a really good discount rack to with items for $1!! The only downside is the store is always a mess but I can deal with a mess for a good deal! read more

I love this store - the selection is wonderful and the staff are very friendly. I can always find a heap of quality kids clothes, and with 3 aged 6 and under, it's terrific to have a lot of options in one place. The major downside (though I won't dock a point for this) is the layout. It's a small store and the place is just so full of clothes and toys and shoes it's pretty hard to move around and can be hard to find things. It's a minor criticism. Anyhow, it's worth planning a long visit if you can - since things can be hard to find, especially on a crowded day, it's best not to try to duck in for a 10 minute visit and expect good results. Give yourself time to look. In terms of pricing, I don't generally feel it's 'overpriced'. I occasionally look at their prices and think so, but overall I think they've got it right. Almost every item I've ever seen here is also high quality - new looking or close to it. I shop at thrift stores too, and you tend to have to wade through a lot more crappy clothes there to find something decent. read more

Chatterbaux is a gem! Lots of great kids clothes, toys, books and shoes. Staff is lovely and it's easy to consign stuff your kids have outgrown. read more

First of all a very big hug and thanks to Alessandra for assisting me to get stuff for my nephews they loved it. I shopped here in two occasions one on the haloween eve and other around 1st week of November. The prices were really fair and it was not over prices.. I was really happy that my nephews loved the items.. Thanks Alessandra, Definitely i will go over and over again to buy things :) Happy Thanks Giving!!!! read more

Very nice employees and they always ask if you need help finding anything. The entrance for strollers is in the back. Cloths price are decent and not to expensive. read more

I am in LOVE! Randomly found this store on Yelp after going to another store in PG and just happened to wander in on their $1 sale! Tons of cute stuff! I guess they have a $1 sale often to get rid of 90+ day old inventory. Wow! I got 13 really nice gently used items for my Hunter Bean for $14.12! PLUS there's TONS of things 50% off to coincide with the $1 clothes sale! I am SO taking my husband back this weekend to look at a high hair I want. And a crib mattress! *****Ok so I actually went back after lunch and got the high chair. And a play mat. And the crib mattress. And more clothes! How can you say no to $1 jeans??!?!??! read more

We've been using ChatterBaux for almost 9 years. Rather than throwing away clothing and toys that still have a useful life, ChatterBaux lets them go to another family at an affordable price. They have clothing and toys from infants all the way up to 9 and 10 year olds. Service is friendly and knowledgeable . We regularly drop off items and use store credit to dress our kids and let them have toys. Spoiling your kids on a budget, what could be better? read more

Finding Chatter Baux was such a blessing to me! Baby stuff can get SO expensive, and it seems like they outgrow everything (clothes as well as toys) so quickly! I love being able to clean out my house and drop off my 15 items per month at Chatterbaux for store credit so I can get new stuff for my daughter that actually fits! Not to mention their dollar sale! (First 7 days of every month) I always find something! The staff is very sweet and helpful, always willing and ready to help me find what I am looking for. The store has great selection, almost everything you could need/ want for you little one! read more

Excellent shop brings extras to consign but have to come after 7th each month 8ththrough end because dollar sale is always first week of month. Shop has good prices and lots of variety ages baby to 12t toys shoes books all kinds of stuff I've been going for years ... consider consigning but have clothes on hangers ankle sure it's clean and in good condition. Give this store a try it's great and saved me tons of money read more

Went here for the first time today! Got some amazing things and they were very reasonably priced. I got a Columbia snowsuit for a baby boy that looked brand new for a quarter of the price at REI. Also found some tiny Toms that were adorable. Store owner is very sweet and even discounted a pair of pants without me having to ask since they had a little bit of stains around the knees...not very noticeable. Lots of nursery furniture and toys. Clothing for all ages. Organized nicely and there are lots of items to go through. Very well stocked. I will be back for sure!!! read more

Chatter Baux Children's Shoppe - Tiny Toms! - Toy Stores Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

We went to Chatter Baux for the first time this weekend, and absolutely loved it! The dollar sale is amazing! 5 books, 3 great toys for $8! Also the women working were very kind and helpful. Such a great business in PG for gently used second-hand baby gear. read more

Amazing shop found no many cute brand new outfits and essentials for my first grand baby at half the price!

I'm obsessed! Each developmental phase I'm able to find exactly what I need and almost always exactly what I was wanting to purchase brand new. Saving SO much money and always happy with my finds here! read more

Every time my family and I go we get great customer service tons of different items great prices. Heard about this place almost 6 years ago and now with a new baby I will come more often. read more

I love this shop, I always find something for both of my kids. The only reason I'm taking one star down is because it is hard to look through their stuff, it is a bit disorganized and small in there. Other than that, I love that I can buy almost new clothes for both my kids without going to Target. read more

Visiting Pacific Grove with my family, my mom and I decided to go shopping for my little girl. This shop was in a tourist guide book from the hotel as well as the yelp reviews I had read so I was planning to shop here already. Alessandra is nice and no-non-sense in her business approach and helpful as she gave us advice on other consignment stores and cute boutiques to visit while we were here. We didn't find anything for my daughter, but I did find jacket that fit me (I'm petite so this was a girls XL coat) and since it was 50% off all jackets on that Thursday (every week on Thursday Alessandra puts 1 category of clothes on special discount), I got the jacket for $7.50 or so! =) It was in very good condition too. And every first Monday of the month there's special deals where lots of clothes are $1 each (since they haven't sold for 90s days), so definitely some bargains there for local moms with kids who are growing through clothes quickly. There's only street parking which can be hard to find on a busy day, but we found a spot right pretty closey by the store that Thursday afternoon. Credit cards only work for $10 or more purchases, which isn't hard to get to with some pretty good deals throughout the store. I plan to return and check out this store next time we're in PG. read more

I have found some super cute clothes here for my baby. Although for me sometimes it's hit or miss, when I do find clothes that suit my style, I totally score, the prices can't be beat! The store can be a little overwhelming as it is usually pretty stuffed to the brim but I am thankful we have this store here as it saves you a lot of money! And the owner Alessandra is super helpful and sweet! read more

It's is a great little shop. Go here before you have your baby shower. When you see the amazing prices on standards like high chairs and cribs you will meet all your baby essentials for a fraction of the price. Thus leaving room on your registry for darling things you prefer new. read more

This place is great, huge selection, friendly staff, but overpriced.

Chatterbeuax is a true and welcome example of good old small town customer service. This spot is an absolute gem to so many of us mommies, and Pacific Grove has every right to be proud of it. No need to weather corporate run mega-stores and blindingly overpriced mall stores, THIS is your spot. They carry LOTS of high end name brands, LOTS og new with tags items for any gift shopping, and you can't beat their dollar sale the first 7 days of each month! Not to mention, shopping here is sustainable! Also, if you consign here - (your items that sell count towards awesome store credit) much of the stuff that doesn't sell gets shipped off to Afghanistan. Alexandra has already sent over 100 boxes!! Nothing else anywhere like this spot. Thanks Chatterbeaux! You've been a blessing to us! read more

My husband and I love coming here to find great deals on baby clothes and necessities! Friendly helpful staff and a well laid-out store means we'll be coming back again! read more
