In my 80th year, after discovering flat caps, and what in the midst of what must be a late-life…read morecrisis - I'm in love with the Village Hat Shop - there, I said it! On the positive side: Inventory - This neighborhood shop carries a huge inventory with a wide variety of brands, styles and price points. Prices - From what I can tell, each brand and style may offer a variety of price points and the shop does sometimes offer discounts and specials. Availability - The shop offers convenient and customer friendly hours, check web site for the details. Staff - In my experience the staff has invariably been welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. When I recently mentioned that a flat cap I'd purchased there seemed a little snug, they insisted on enlarging it a half-size at no charge, and the result was perfect. Location - It is absolutely perfect for me to have what I've heard is the country's best hat store only 15 minutes from home. I often arrive with questions only and they are always welcoming and helpful. Negatives The traffic is awful because of construction work going on along 4th Avenue. Parking anywhere nearby on the street is nearly impossible, but there is a small lot at the rear of the building in the alley between 4th and 5th, and Robinson and University that I've never seen more than half-filled and is free for customers.

Rating: Less Than 1 Star…read more I found a hat priced at $209 that had a visible hole in the outer brim. When I pointed it out to the sales associate, she told me that was "how the hat is made." I asked whether there were any other holes like it on the hat, and she acknowledged there were not. Because the item was a final sale, I asked whether they would consider a discount due to the defect. The assistant manager declined. I then asked to speak with the store manager and was told the manager was not there. When I asked who could make that decision, the assistant manager said she would need to contact the executive manager but did not offer to do so until I specifically asked her to make the call. Instead, she took the hat from me and said she would return it to the vendor. I explained that I wanted to buy the hat and was simply requesting a reasonable discount because it had a visible defect. At that point, she said, "It can't hurt to ask the manager," took my phone number, and said someone would get back to me. I'm waiting to see whether management follows up and will update this review accordingly.

We walked into Lisa's Boutique as we were walking around the Ferry Landing in Coronado. They looked…read morelike they had interesting shoes and clothing. The one thing that puts me on guard is when the sales person follows me around. She did this the entire time that we were in the store looking. First of all, it doesn't look anything like the pictures. The merchandise is pile high and the racks make it difficult to walk around. The shoes were cute and I liked the clothing, but I will never go in there to shop again. It makes me feel like a criminal to walk around the store and have someone following us everywhere we went. This is not the customer service that I want or expect. There are lots of stores in San Diego County that give me the respect and space that I deserve. Making me feel uncomfortable is not the way to get my business.

The lady working was right behind me the entire time, and every time I touched something she rushed over to check it. It felt like I was being followed and judged instead of treated like a valued customer. I couldn't even enjoy looking around because of how awkward and uncomfortable it was. Definitely not the shopping experience I was hoping for.

Amazing store. This is a dream place for all hat lovers and is very life changing. must goread more

I had a good visit with my family. Mind you we came on a Wednesday in the late morning so the mall…read morewas fairly empty and peaceful. The shop is small but does house a ton of fitted caps. We got a SD New Era one for my son! His first sports "name brand" hat. To my surprise we can get it customized! So for his first hat we did! The worker was super friendly and told us any color! We just did gold yellow to match but also added extra diamonds (they called it stars). We chose the Kindergarten font since it goes with him being an infant! It's super cute! I love it so much and we will keep this hat even when he outgrows it! Took about 30 mins to complete which was fine, we went to eat while he worked on that. The letters seem a little crooked to me like it's descending but with the font (which we did all caps), it's fine. The cap itself was $27.99 but with customization it came to almost $50. I did try to look online to see if it was sold anywhere but those are hard to find so it was worth it for us.

The store is so cool- just how I'd imagine it to be from what they sell. The clothes are all great quality- I often crop the men's tees to fit me and they're my favorite t-shirts. The designs are always super cool. It's also my go-to to find gifts for people who appreciate unique items- I've given things like their roach clips, knife comb, and keys to all my close friends. I think I have just about every key they've produced and I never see anyone else with anything like them, and I always get compliments because they're so cool. The shop owners are awesome, and obviously dedicated to making quality stuff and creating a relaxed and welcoming vibe in-store!
