These dishes are of high quality and are well worth the higher price you pay for it. Then there is the owner who was so kind and full of energy that we even chatted for a few minutes. He will be getting new inventory in April so we'll be back to shop some more.

There is a playfulness about everything and I always walk out of there feeling the good vibes. And their gift wrapping is on point! The owners are involved in the community and care about making the South Bay a welcoming space. As a gay family in Hermosa it can feel sometimes like we are the only ones, but when my kids see the rainbows and pride on our usual walk from the beach up Pier Ave, I know we have settled in the right place to raise our family and are so grateful for neighbors like Curious making our little beach community feel like home.

If you're looking for a fun experience with family, or friends, or even date night, I highly…read morerecommend Chamu because of its excellent customer service and very fun variety of products and charms. There is a huge assortment of large and small charms to choose from, and many different colors of glue for your creative purposes. Above all, the customer service here stand out from the rest because the business is owned by a small family and is very customer oriented. The owner and the other shop staff were all very very kind, so special thank you to both him and the young man who went out of their way to make our experience very fun and seamless today. When we walked in after coming from next-door at Clawcade, I didn't realize Chamu was new but I'm very happy we had our first charm experience here rather than at other charms stores across Los Angeles. I love supporting small business and the Family running. This shop's family was so kind and attentive, going out of their way to help provide additional cute options of charms and teach us the best way to apply the glue. Because of this, no other charm store can compare and I highly recommend Chamu for any Yelpers looking for a fun charms experience! Also their assortment of charms were super cute. There were all sorts of Disney characters, hello Kitty, whimsical, dessert, glitter, and other types and styles for every type of person out there. There was even a box full of medical themed charms which I felt was pretty interesting. I personally loved their little vegetable themed charms. With Mother's Day coming up, I thought it'd be super cute to make a special phone case for my mom, and a huge thank you to the kind folks at Chamu for a wonderful fun experience! Expect to pay ~50$ for a flexible phone case but the experience is so fun and priceless! You get to pick 12 large charms, and unlimited small charms, which are all really cute, as well as up to 2 colors of glue. Thanks Chamu for an excellent time!

Richard and Carol know more about Gardena than most history books. Half the fun is hunting through the endless collection of vintage treasures, and the other half is chatting with them.

I spotted old Duncan yo-yos, Mickey Mouse collectibles, vintage signs, John Wayne toilet paper, and about a hundred other things I've already forgotten. They even put water out for our dog, which instantly made us feel welcome. If you're grabbing coffee nearby, stop in afterward. Just don't expect to leave quickly. Come for the vintage finds, stay for the stories, and leave wondering whether you should've bought that one thing you'll be thinking about all week.
