This shop is part of a bigger store, nice little spot with tons of items to look at. Saw this on…read moreYelp and had to visit. Prices are not bad. We'll worth it to stop by. I guarantee you'll find something you'll like. I grew up down the street from here in the 90s and it's amazing to see how this area has changed. Not around this area often but will make time to visit anytime I'm around. This place is great, I highly recommend coming in.

I worked with her twice, planning 2 events and she was very gracious allowing me to come early to set up and helped me any time I had a question or needed help. I love this shop, the merch is all so cute. Plus, she puts love into every corner. This is truly a really special place.

very bad customer service. I came today with a friend of mine and waited in line for 10 minutes…read morebehind her, once I reached the front the lady asked the people behind me to go first, they said no, the cashier asked me to wait in line ans I told her "sorry I was in line with her" my friend I was referring to, she said "okay then asked the people behind me if they wanted to go first, they said "no that's okay she's in line." I payed ans respectfully said thank you but was very embarrassed she thought I was cutting, later I returned with another item ans was told in a flat tone "we don't have change" she began to take the item from me before I said "oh that's okay ." I payed for my item with card and she didn't smile or anything but seemed rather mad. I left embarrassed because I felt wrongly judged for something I hadn't don.

Stopped by M.Lovewell yesterday for their first day opening since their store refresh! There are so…read moremany new items and artists that have been added to the store which was nice to see! I love coming by here to look at their selection of fountain pens, inks, journaling supplies, and especially stamps! I hope they continue to add more varieties of washi tapes and stamps to their store as it's my new current obsession! Their prices are always reasonable and their workers are always super friendly. I love chatting with them whenever I visit :) Also love that they host fun learning workshop classes and events! Definitely check out their website for upcoming scheduled events if you're interested. There's a parking garage behind the corner of the street where the wall art is, which is typically free for 90 minutes I believe.

CUTE INDEPENDENT SHOP (4 stats)…read more There isn't much happening in downtown Santa Ana but there are a few hidden gems. Did I overhear that this place has been open for ~10 years?! I stumbled upon this shop while walking around the small downtown and as I walked more east I questioned should I turn around? Right when I was able to this store popped in view and I had to go in! What a cute shop if you are into stationary and pens and etc. I love supporting small independent businesses so I was determined to leave with something. There were a collective of independent products from different companies/artists that sell their items here. I didn't expect to leave spending $70.05 on 5 tiny items. WAX SEAL ($20) - by Made of Honour. There weee a handful of styles available. Very nice packaging. SEALING WAX BEADS 100pc ($9) - by Fiona Ariva. Variety of stunning colors. WAX SEAL HANDLE ($9) - by Fiona Ariva. I believe this is the standard size that fits other brands. BOAT PEN CASE ($13) - by Luddite. I been looking for a small compact pen case for my very few ones that i own and this was what I was looking for. ANTERIQUE BALLPOINT PEN ($13) - I love this mini pen and how it writes. The store DOES sell anterique refills BUT not the mini anterique refills that is needed for this pen. You can order the refills online on Amazon. So here's what gets me about shopping here. - California State Tax (0.5%) - Orange County Tax (0.25%) - Santa Ana City Tax (15%) - Orange County District Tax SP (0:5%) - Orange County Tax SL (1%) ^^ Added an additional $5.95 to the initial subtotal. That's alot in my opinion! Cool store, with a checkout. Until the next review....

The owner Terry is always gracious in greeting me when I stumble through the front door,and James is as knowledgeable of everything stocked in the store as he is the stock market. Sometimes I stop in strictly just to peruse, and yet I NEVER leave without a purple bag of SOMETHING...The front window display is always changing and always fun to look at. thanks Ipso for being a true staple in our community.

May this place never die. I've been coming here via my friend since we were kids in the 1900's…read more Recently visited because my friend was looking for a Nine Inch Nails shirt. It's still a small store but it has all the goth goods you need in a pinch. There were Nine Inch Nails shirts but only a few designs that my friend wasn't interested in. The owner or shop keeper was talking it up with some kids at the register. Reminds me of the good old days when going to certain stores was a cool experience and Ipso is one of them. They are located on the west side of Harbor Blvd, north of Chapman and in the heart of downtown so there's plenty of restaurants and eateries to choose from and walking distance to the train station and if you want to catch the bus, it's on the same street as Disneyland, just a half hour south on Harbor.

Small, but a cute place. Great cause. Prices were reasonable. Sadly I didn't take a lot of pics…read more I did pick up a military jacket for $30, but when the woman rang me up it was only $15. I am not sure if it was some specific color label and it was 50% off, but I didn't complain. Great and friendly staff. Lot's of books and kids books were super cheap. Small selection of women's and men's clothes. My jacket was a great find, so I definitely would recommend popping in because you never know what type of treasure you might find.

Great selection (great books too!), kind and helpful staff, and great deals that change every week!read more

Love stopping by here to look around at their selection of jerseys and certain pieces of clothing!…read moreThey have a wide variety of items packed in a pretty small and cute underground space. They've expanded a bit since the first time I've gone and added some more jerseys. Honestly it's just a pretty cool place to LOOK at clothes since most of their stuff is anywhere from $100-500 for shirts, hoodies, or shoes. A Rafa Marquez jersey for $250 seems pretty crazy to me. The only "thrift store" part of this store would be the $25 and under racks near the entrance and the shirts racks in the middle of the store. Found a pretty nice Disney zip up and lakers shirt there. Obviously if you're into designer stuff and you wanna pay an arm and a leg this place is great but otherwise it's just another aesthetically pleasing store to window shop at. Employees are pretty friendly and knowledgeable!

I've lived in OC for a majority of my life and I barely recently discovered gcs!! This place is so…read moredope, they have all of your classic graff needs along with clothes, art, stickers, and a variety of niche accessories relative to the hobby. They even sell splicers!! The variety of mediums and shade ranges are insane, and the prices are insanely affordable for the brands they carry. I could literally spend forever in this store because there's so much fun stuff to look at. It was hard to not impulse buy everything that caught my eye. Highly recommend this beautiful small business for all your street art needs, or just somewhere interesting to check out if you're already in the SA arts district!!
