These guys take it to whole nother level, with literally nine signs on their door. And dozens more inside. -if you break it you buy it. -must leave your backpack at the front counter. -young visitors must be with an adult while in the store. -no food or drink. -you will be arrested if you shoplift. -all activities monitored by close circuit, television and undercover security -credit card processing fee 3% (Jackhole policy btw) -no pets within 10 feet of the front door -no smoking in the building - no public restroom ( so you want people to shop and spend money, but if they have to take a pee, they can't do it?! Jerks) -etc etc blah blah blah Many other stores in town appreciate business but don't leave such a horrible first impression with so many signs as you enter. Treating customers like this doesn't make them feel welcome. The kids and I quickly left.

Mermaids Cove

Stumbled upon Mermaid's Cove while exploring the Old Town area with a friend. The girly boutique is…read morefull of ocean-themed decor and accessories perfect for bringing a bit of the beach back home! As the name implies, many of the items are mermaid-themed but I gravitated more toward the octopus items, like a tea kettle and a set of drawer pulls. They definitely have a large and unique selection for gifting, from candles and soaps to throw pillows and Christmas ornaments. Bring kids with caution, as many items are delicate- there is a dedicated area for them with blankets, clothing, stuffed sea animals, and coloring books. They also have signs up asking customers not to take photos, not sure what's up with that.

And other sea themed creatures-- lots of octopus and sea nettles. It's a very cute shop. My husband and I stopped in and I found a stuffed narwhal which I bought for my narwhal-obsessed child. Only drawback is the lady working there did not acknowledge our presence until we bought something. For a good while we were the only people in the store and she got up, walked by us to the back, returned to the register, and did not make eye contact. I don't know if it was because it was a Saturday night and she was cold, or she was just over having to talk to customers or whatever; but it felt off-putting. Though she was very friendly once we bought the item and wrapped it up nicely, which made me think there was something else going on.

Although the woman who helped me was very nice, she was way too persistent and kept trying to throw things at me to buy. lol I saw a cute dress on a mannequin outside and she took it off for me.

She said how beautiful I was and how great I looked in the dress, and while I agree (lol), I was well aware of her motives. I'm not a huge fan of pushy sales people, but it's a nice little store.

Board and Beans is such a special little coffee spot!…read more First of all, I absolutely love their environmental mission. Their sign about picking up a bucket of trash and getting a free coffee honestly blew my mind. Even little details like having real small towels in the bathroom instead of paper towels show how intentional they are about being eco-friendly. The coffee is also amazing! They have in-house flavors (always a plus), and I got the banana bread latte half sweet. It was so good and perfectly balanced. The setup is unique - it's more of a coffee kiosk attached to a surf shop, with a cute outdoor deck/backyard-style seating area behind it. When I went, most people were grabbing drinks to go, but there are benches where you can hang out and wait. There was a small line, but honestly it makes sense. Great coffee, meaningful values, and such a cool concept. Definitely coming back!

I called and Dave was rude and condescending. Told me it was because of the way the sweatshirt is dyed. Says all of his clothing of this type has stains. I said it should come with a warning. He told me it was the first time in 40 years he's had to have this conversation. So rude. It's the first time in near 50 years I've had to try to justify why I am unhappy about the sweatshirt. Of course no receipt - wore it out the door as it was raining. Resolution was keep it in a bag and bring it back next time I'm in San Diego or mail it for a new one with prepaid packaging to mail it back. If you know you are selling items that commonly do this, warn the customer, put up signing or remove the item from your store!

Great selection of custom picture frame styles to choose from -- across price ranges. I have had a few pieces of art framed here and each time the craftsmanship is outstanding. They are extremely helpful in helping you design the right frame for you and your art. I have also picked up a couple of great pieces of art from their rotating display of local artists. read more
