Charming store, has an "old school" vibe. Customer service is outstanding. And you never know what you might find. I've been going there for 45 years. read more

It's time for this place to go away. Their service is slow and inattentive, product mix is incredibly limited and prices are double than what you pay at a big box. Stopped by this morning for 3 items. They only had 1 of the 3 things I needed. Then it took me 10 minutes to checkout because there was only 1 person at the checkout counter, who left to walk out back to help another customer. Meanwhile there are at least 3 to 4 other workers standing around playing grab ass. In retail you need to win on: Price, product or customer service. If you have none of this to offer it's probably time to close your business! read more

Well an e employee did get up from his snack table and help me though it was basic here it is tour of language. They had two of the three things I went for. It's better than the ACE nearby but just a tad. read more

If you're working on something in the 92118 zip code, go here before you end your day over a forgotten part etc. The organized selection of extremely hard-to-find stuff around here is wonderful! The plumbing and electrical stock is really nice. Walk slow and view evey isle. You might be pleasantly surprised. Great hardware store!! This reminds me of a "marshalls industrial " but just on a miny scale. Very nice to have them in the hood. read more

Phil and staff are excellent always ready to assist! A great selection and honestly they have just about everything you need and even stuff you thought you don't need but want it anyway. I was a long term resident that sold my home in Coronado and moved to Point Loma but still prefer Coronado Hardware and it's worth the drive. read more

Went in today to find a missing piece for my wagon. Not only did the gentleman working there help to find what I needed but also went above and beyond to help me install it. Amazing customer service! Also, it helps to note that they have adorable gift ideas in the front of the store in addition to hardware and paint goods! read more

Employees here are not wearing masks apparently. Everything overpriced too so definitely worth the quick trip to Home Depot. Poor customer service, so nothing really convenient about this shop at all. Stellar job guys (sarcasm). I won't be shopping here again. read more

I have been coming here for years and they have always had what I needed, without having to leave the island. They have a small selection of almost anything you need, home improvement wise. The employees know their store inside and out. Not only do they have the basic home improvement items, but they also have anything you might need for beach convenience. They also have nice soaps and trinkets if you need to pick up a sweet something for your significant other. read more

See all

This is an old fashioned hardware store in Coronado. The prices are based on conveinence so if you're looking for the best prices, go elsewhere. But if you need a tool, light bulb or a box of screws and you need it now....this is the place for you. Friendly, knowledgable and helpful staff and this place is hardly ever crowded. read more

I purchased 5 sliding glass doors exactly 10 years ago from Coronado Hardware. One had a problem. They came immediately, contacted the manufacturer immediately and the door was replaced within a week. This is the way service providers should be and never are anymore. It was the easiest warentee that I have ever had. I learned a valuable lesson and I will always use Coronado Hardware in the future for all my window and door replacement needs. read more

Customer service leaves much to be desired. Employees act like you're a hassle, forcing them to get up and stop playing cards. God forbid you need help finding something read more

I had the best experience here! Everyone was super helpful and super nice. Jason was the best, and answered all my questions. Would recommend! read more

Nicest, kindest, and most helpful folks on the island. There are helpful in helping with whatever your project may be - and are not afraid to point you in the right direction if they don't have what you are looking for. read more

This is a great little store when you can't make it over to Home Depot however what's the deal with closing at 5 PM!!! Most people don't even get off work by then! read more

Such great service. Great communication through the whole process. Phil came out to my home in Chula Vista and did an awesome job replacing 5 windows. Very happy with how everything came out. Thank you Phil! read more

Where the funks do you find a sled to use in the snow for Big Bear Mountain in San Diego? Here!! We'll technically. They're affiliated with doitbest.com you order stuff on their website and it ships free to this store. And that website has a bunch of stuff. I bought two large 48" plastic sleds online for $7.98 each and picked them up the other day, painlessly. This is a cute store with cool stuff. It's the kind of store where you find things you didn't realize you needed or didn't know existed (lots of knick knacks!). It feels like you've stepped back in time shopping at a mom and pop store before there was such things as huge megastores like Home Depot, Wal*Mart, etc. etc. The man who helped me was friendly also. read more

Awesome gifty stuff, great place for chicks who aren't looking for tools. That's the idea, I'm sure. Their selection of hardware leaves a lot to be desired, but what do you want for Orange Ave? There's a Home Depot in IB. Coronado Hardware is a cutsie pie shop that probably meets emergency needs for too high a price. Just like...pretty much everything else on Coronado. What a shock. read more

If he told me his name, I forgot it, but the gentleman who helped my husband and me was VERY NICE, WELCOMING, and HELPFUL. He's an older gentleman who said that he was born & grew up in Coronado. I wanted to stay in the store for hours (SO MANY CUTE THINGS aside from the hardware, glass & paint!!), but my husband, 2 children & niece were ready to go after about 1-1/2 hours. During my husband's wait, this very nice gentleman made a complimentary cup of coffee for my husband. Thank you for the hospitality, and I can't wait to return!!! read more

This place is great! I'm all about lining the pockets of the local business owner versus the national companies like Wal-Mart and Home Depot. Coronado Hardware has everything you need! Go in there with plenty of time to shop around though. They do have everything, but sometimes it'll be in the last place you'd look! It's not that big of a place, but they pack it in with pretty much everything you'll need hardware wise. They've always treated me well; a few times going waaay above and beyond simply "helping out the customer." They'll continue to get my business based off of that alone. They're helpful, interested in making sure you have whatever you want/need before you leave their store. The staff, selection, and prices are all good in my book. Keep up the good work, Coronado Hardware. See ya tomorrow. ~Allen read more

Great selection. Prices are a bit high but it's understandable. Very good service. Bought a picnic table there and they replaced it twice.

This is a great hardware store. The people who work there really know their stuff.

I have never encountered such rudeness from a retail store due to my gender. Even though I was in line first, they waited on customers who were familiar to them ahead of me. Like I did not exist. And because they were not knowledgable about the item I needed plumbing fittings for, they told me I did not know what I was talking about. When I went to Village Hardware, they had no problem understanding me and providing me with everything i needed. (Because I am a female, I don't know how to repair things?) read more

One stop shop! Look no further. If you need something for the house you've found the right place. Great small town hardware store with lots of great things for the home or a good place to find a gift too! Owners are super friendly and involved. Great staple of Coronado! read more

A Coronado-fied hardware store...meaning high prices and a lot of home decor. I love having this place on the island, but it's really just for those times you don't want to take the time and effort to drive to Home Depot, Lowes, TJ Maxx or Marshalls. Don't get me wrong...I'm a HUGE fan of small business. In fact, I'm quite anti-chain. But, you have to be careful at this one...I got really lazy one day and bought a terra cotta pot here. Two days later - in an off-island store - there it was for $14 less! Ouch. Stick with the regular hardware items (or paint...they have a lot of paint), but get your pots and home decor elsewhere. Service is "interesting". read more

Great little hometown hardware shop. They don't always have everything I am searching for, but they have most of it, and are the nicest folks! We were recently in the store, and my toddler son (who is obsessed with garbage trucks) spotted a mini EDCO garbage bin on the counter. It was a little miniature thing that looked just like our own garbage bins but stood about 4 or 5 inches tall. My husband wanted to buy it, but the folks behind the counter said it wasn't for sale. Instead they just gave it to us and said "enjoy it"! How sweet is that? Gotta love the hometown feel and service! Good People! read more

Locally owned by a wonderful family - excellent and friendly customer service and surprisingly well stocked for a store on an island. They also have great gifts. Nice place to stop in to while waiting to get seated at the Coronado Brewing Co. read more

Very helpful, professional, and knowledgable staff. They have a surprisingly large amount of merchandise for the size of the store. They can also order practically anything you need. You don't usually get the same conscientious concern from a big box store. read more

So, I decided to stop by this hardware store before heading to the dog beach. They didn't have the beach tent I was hoping for, but they did have this awesome little thing that holds your umbrella in place. I told them I needed to check on my dog, then I'd buy it. The guy said that they were pet friendly, so I grabbed my dog and brought him inside. (Just in time, considering some crazy person was judging me for leaving my dog in the shade tied up for less than 2 minutes.) Anyways... The staff was super helpful. They hooked me up with the umbrella holder, and I nabbed some tennis balls for my dog. They even gave him a treat from behind the counter. It's nice to see that customer service is alive and well, especially during the busy summer. I know it can be overwhelming with tourists, and the heat, but this staff is dynamite. Keep up the good work! I'll be back for sure. read more

I have been coming here for years as an assistant handyman and am usually surprised that they usually have what we need. It is great to not have to go off the island! Phil is very personable and professional with window installation as well. He will even work off the island too. read more

This store is great, I wish they were open later! I've stopped by for several things, most recently to have some keys made. I was disappointed that they didn't have a specialty key for the key I was copying, and the sales clerk took the time to double check and make sure they really didn't have it. (Seriously, not even upset they didn't have it by that point, because the fact that the guy took the time to try and find a Jet's key was great.) I had my small dog with me one day, and was just running in to buy him some tennis balls for the beach. Not only did they let me take him in, they gave him a dog biscuit, too. This place gets customer service, Coronado, and just good business sense. read more

I walked in to purchase an item and started checking out. This is my first time stepping foot into the place btw. A heavy set guy named Chris blows me away. I asked when an employee works there (a friend of the family), and Chris begins telling me what a worthless employee he is. Huh? I don't even know you! Your going to talk like that? Will let the owner know when I have the chance. read more

I recently asked for help finding something in the store. A young employee looked up with a totally annoyed expression on his face and an attitude of, really, I need to get off my ass? This hasn't been my first experience here. There seems to be an arrogant, rude attitude in this store that is worse than almost anywhere else I've shopped. I suggest drive a little farther and shop in San Diego. read more

We had a very large window replaced in our living room. Phil was super helpful, professional, courteous and on time. His prices are reasonable and i would definfitly recommend them for any window replacement jobs. read more

This store has the feel of small town Coronado. I love to run in for a gift, as well as the practical hardware needs. I also pick up fresh potted flowers sometimes. read more

In the midst of another remodel, the screws that came with the knobs for the cabinets were not long enough. Of course they're metric. I'm all about convenience so I went to Coronado Hardware Glass and Paint. The had the right size, but only about 20. The salesman then called two other hardware stores to see if they had what I needed. It turned out the second one had the 150 I required. Better yet, the salesman even negotiated a discount for me! That's what I call service! read more

I am a regular customer of this Hardware Store. I find the employees very helpful. I decided to tackle the re-grouting of our kitchen sink on my own - and I didn't know where to start. He led me around to the Painters Tape, single edge razor blades and the best caulk for the job - then proceeded to tell me exactly what to do. I did exactly as he instructed and I think it looks like a professional did it. I've decided there are probably other repairs I can make (with their help and instructions). read more

Last Friday my central air decided to take a nose dive and stopped working late in the day. Repair man can not come until Monday. I needed a fan like yesterday in the 90 plus degree temperature. Everywhere I went they were sold out (knew that but was hoping for a miracle). Well, decided to call Coronado Hardware and that's where my miracle happened. I drove all the way from Rancho Del Rey. They didn't have just one fan they had more than one size and had plenty of stock on hand. I have gone to the store in the past when I needed something especially when I didn't know where to buy it. They have always had what I am looking for. Friendly and informative staff. If I could give a higher rating I would. They are my #! hardware store!!! read more

Great place... I got my times mixed up and showed up 45 minutes after closing to get some soil for the garden. The guy was on his way out after locking the doors and opened the store up for me, rung me up, and helped me carry two huge bags out. He could have said, "Sorry, we're closed..." But he didn't. Neighborhood hardware store with a neighborhood feel and helpfulness. read more
