I highly recommend this place for any gifts and especially any Christmas shopping. Their selection of men's products is the perfect blend of classy and practical.

I just got the book out of the bag and the wrapping is such a beautiful and tasteful touch. Well done Jupiter & Main! My wife and I will be definitely be returning anytime we're in the area

Awesome little place, the size belies the actual offerings--my husband bought four records, which…read morehe says are hard to come by pristine pressings. It's a ton of fun to browse all the little knick knacks and treasures, e.g. I spied a 100% pure shearling coat for only $225 (which would be thousands of dollars retail in a department shop). I didn't buy it because it was waaay too large, but that's exactly the sort of treeasure you might stumble on.They also had a few Dinney and Burke satchels as well as cowboy boots. This is a gem of a place where they have a revolving bit of wares with prices that are hard to beat.

I've purchased bracelets as gifts and the recipients have loved them! There's something for everyone here.

It is one of the few businesses inside this pretty mall, and thankfully it merchandises a few racks of sales clothing outside its doors to lure you in! This is a large store chock full of souvenir gifts, clothing, Olukai sandals, hats, toys, insulated water bottles, backpacks, etc. Everything is neat and organized, which makes for easy shopping. I found a pretty Half Moon Bay tee shirt. I thought it was a little pricey for a thin tee shirt ($31.95), but I liked it enough to treat myself. Customer service was friendly and helpful.

My boyfriend and I were in Montara on vacation, and stopped in on our last day visiting. I'm so glad we did, because both found something we had to have. I hope to be back soon!

The clothing is really not my style. It 's a mashup of ratchet meets 50's vixen babe with a dash of Bourbon street night walker. Lots of lace, dark colors, sheer items, fishnet panty hose, awkward heels, etc. They offer men's clothing, too. The store owner was on the phone the entire time while I was there, so he didn't greet/smile/acknowledge anyone that walked through his door. That was a bummer. There are several of these little shops along Main St. in Half Moon Bay, so you're not missing out on much. If customer service is a priority for you, this is not your place.
