TRENDY LITTLE STORE w/ GREAT FINDS! Central Library's "The Library Store" is a current,…read morewell-stocked gift shop with buzzy reads and stylish merch. I loved seeing their pocket-sized collection from their genre-specific books to celebrity finds. I spotted a Chappel Roan book among other favorites. Additionally, they had a selection of Heated Rivalry novels and other fan-favorites. I definitely see myself coming here more often, too bad my booklist is currently full. My Mom and I got a few items (a small version of Macbeth, socks, mug, etc.). Staff were pretty polite but a little awkward, I think they're on high-alert for shoplifters. The store was neat and tidy. Lighting was dim and the store wasn't packed. As this is a gift shop in LA, library-specific merch is slightly pricy. However, the quality of the goods are great. If you're entering through the backside of the library go straight down the entrance hallway a bit and turn to your right. The Library Store is hard to miss!

When I heard the greeting, I said "im definitely walking out of here with a gift or two," I got four! And, why not? It feels good to support the Library and get something special too :)

I thought the clothes were really cute, but they didn't have my size in the ones I liked for myself. I think this is a nice place to get gifts for people that aren't touristy type gifts.

Miscellaneous cute plushies and trinkets as well, you'll definitely find what you need here!

Probably one of THE worst customer service experiences I have EVER had at a craft/hobby/paper…read morestore. Staff members were rude and patronizing. Not worth the trip there. Much better choices in the LA area with staff that are actually helpful, friendly, and professional. This was a one-and-done. I was so put off, I left without purchasing anything. I was actually pissed that after being treated so poorly, my friend chose to spend ANY money there. The responses to reviews on here are just as cold and patronizing so obviously it's a systemic problem If yelp allowed me to leave zero stars I would. Same amount of money I ended up spending there.

My friend and I came in and had an awkward experience. I'm not sure why, however, one of them kept…read moretalking and over explaining things. My friend found your stamps but no paper to stamp on, then made a big deal about us asking for a paper bag. I did buy a few things and it wasn't like we weren't spending money. They did finally give one small bag, but by the time we left, we just were so insulted and felt belittled. Later, we had gone to other stationery stores that day which were so positive and referred to other stores...and then to compare, the store really failed. Maybe not assuming every customer knows nothing about the items and letting people finish sentences would help a lot.

Their selection of products is great for stationary enthusiasts. I purchased some pens from Penco, which is a flagship brand of High Tide. The store is located at the Row DTLA, which is a recently renovated shopping area. I'm generally not a big fan of downtown, but this place was really nice. It felt safe and there was plenty of parking. Overall I would definitely recommend Hightide for stationary shopping. Pros: -Great section of unique products. -The store has a fun vibe -Plenty of parking. 2 hours free. -Located in a nice shopping area. Cons -some of their products like the pen cases are a bit too expensive in my opinion. -it is a small space so it can get crowded during peak shopping hours.

The neighboring space is called Hightide Annex which focuses on apparel goods. Recently Hightide Store New York City was opened in December 2025. [Parking]: Free 2-hour parking at the parking structure for ROW DTLA. [What to expect]: A classic Japanese stationery shop with notebooks, specialty pens, planners, bags, etc. They carry brands like Hobonichi and Penco. [Conclusion]: A cute stationery shop for those looking for well-known and high-quality Japanese stationery products, but the shop felt like it was missing an extra personal and local touch.

This is the flagship shop opened in 2015 and there are currently three brick-and-mortar locations in Echo Park, Carlsbad, and Encinitas. [Parking]: Parking is very difficult in this part of town. I got really lucky and found a residential street spot on Grafton St. [Merchandise]: The shop offers many cute gifts including home goods, scented candles, tote bags, and a section with items for children and babies such as children's books and random animal plushies. I like some of their greeting card designs, but there is not much of a stationery selection. There is also a mini print vending machine at the front entrance. [Conclusion]: I am not sure whether I would drive out of my way just to shop for gifts here as there are too many random items. It would be nicer if the shop focused on a more specific niche category rather than being a jack-of-all-trades gift store.

They also had a lot of traditional items/supplies for tea ceremonies, calligraphy, and kimonos. I had fun looking through all the items as it brought me back to our summer in Japan. Apparently they have a long standing history in LA, having opened in 1946 after World War II. The shop occupies the site of the first Japanese-owned business in Los Angeles, circa 1890's.

I picked up a fun/odd felt tiger Christmas ornament, a cat pen, and a super cute bronze cat shaped spoon that hangs on the side of your cup. Did I need it? No.... but it's fun and makes me happy.

Koreatown Plaza has everything you could want. You can explore a variety of shops offering…read moreclothing, cosmetics, health products, home goods, jewelry, and the best food court in town. Parking is for a fee, but they validate at most stores and some of the eateries. It has the best of Korean cuisine for every budget. You can have great noodles and spend less than 15$. The wide variety of restaurants, from sizzling street food and noodle soups to crispy katsu and savory dumplings are the reason we often go. We love to have lunch or dinner there. The people that work there are so nice and will help you, especially in the shops. I am often looking for the latest comic for my grandson and they are always there to help. They keep the entire mall spotless and comfortable. It is a great time.

Then as we entered I noticed it was mainly all Korean stores that we passed by. The place does look old and a little ran down. And the elevators wasn't working when we was there. We had to use the escalators since we parked upstairs but didn't even kno that lol. We passed by a Korean skincare stand that looked really popular or maybe they had an event cus it was a line of girls. We went to another store that sold needohs and squeeezy squishes but they was way too fuckin overpriced and tbh I couldn't tell if they was the legit real ones or not so passed on that. Then the food court was probably the best part of the mall that we explored besides H-mart. I went to use the restroom there and it didn't look too clean. The food court had so many different little eateries I wanted to try them out but we was already going to a noodle place after. I should've just tried it out anyway cus the noodle place we went to was mid af lol. Maybe next time we come back I will!
