i was with my aunt and cousin last week and we stumbled upon this little shop. i thought it seemed…read morecute, we walked in the ac was running and it seemed like a nice place. while the clothes weren't my personal interest, i thought it seemed great for others. my aunt was taking photos of the place, just like 1-4 ish as she loves that type of stuff. when we walked into the room where the cashier was, she saw my aunt take a photo of the hats or something. with an angry voice and demeanor, she asked "are you taking a video?!?", she replied "no" but the cashier continued and said "are- are you sure!?!" and my aunt about to lose her temper calmed down and said "no, i was just taking a couple pictures of the place" and the cashier still seemed a bit annoyed but continued to do her errand or whatever. this quite shocked me and while i understand that perhaps the cashier who i later found out (i believe!) was the owner or co-owner most likely didn't want a video of herself i feel like she could've handled the situation differently. either way i also read the reviews of this place the second we walked out and realized the main problem of the place is its customer service and support. and that's pretty much the foundation of a business. how you treat your customers. have a good day God bless

This is a charming and quaint store that is a great place to find gifts! For myself and my…read moredaughter, I've bought the 'San Diego' candle--there are other candle scents as well named after towns/suburbs of San Diego but I like 'San Diego' the best. The owners and staff are friendly and I learned that the candles are made locally and there are no chemicals. For other gifts, I've bought the olive oil, heart-shaped soaps. Good price at $10.00-They will gift wrap for you too--the horoscope magnets make humorous gifts too. I'm a local but I find this store one of my favorites in downtown Encinitas. The furniture and paintings are unique too--what are you waiting for? Go check it out!

I've been coming to Coast Highway Trading Co. for the past couple of years, and it's easily one of…read moremy favorite places to shop in the area. A couple of my friends work here, so I've gotten to see firsthand how much care goes into making the store such a great experience. One of the things I appreciate most is how well organized everything is. It makes browsing really enjoyable instead of overwhelming. They have an amazing selection of souvenirs, and I always end up finding something unique that I wouldn't see anywhere else. I especially love their sterling silver turquoise jewelry. It's beautiful, high quality, and feels really special. Their California and San Diego customized items are also a standout and make perfect gifts, whether you're shopping for someone visiting or sending something out of state. I also want to give a special shoutout to Annaliese, who consistently goes above and beyond. She's always friendly, helpful, and genuinely makes the shopping experience even better. Overall, Coast Highway Trading Co. is a must visit if you're looking for thoughtful gifts or something a little different. I'll definitely keep coming back!

As would be expected based on their name, this cute store in downtown Encinitas sells bedding at the heart of it's product line. They also carry furniture, art and lighting from around the globe. A modernist style reminiscent of German Bauhaus design spans their shelves. Clean lines, high contrast color and minimal details take away the clutter. Less is more is always fashionable!
