The staff are warm hearted and helpful, as well as very knowledgeable and informative. They are not a typical retail store, as they are a wholesale store so there is a lot of stuff, everywhere for you to sift through and find various unexpected treasures. They are some of the best in the lower mainland, and they are very fairly priced and easy to deal with. As a jewelry maker, I would highly recommend them. They also do custom made high end jewelry projects and have large books of different settings you can choose from. Both my mother and I have gotten things made here and they do very quality work. Never mind getting Jewelry at a big box jewelry store, get one made here, and get something truly unique and much more valuable in the end.

What a fabulous, cozy, amazing - albeit NOT cost- or wallet-friendly! - shop!…read more(In other words, be forewarned. You'll most likely find what you want here or the perfect gift for your friend, but it won't be cheap). Lately I've been inundated with FB ads for a specific made-in-Canada household cleaner and I was intrigued with the product, for many reasons. On the manufacturer's website, it showed that this Coast Goods store sold the products, so I decided to check it out IRL (as opposed to purchasing it blind on the web). This shop is quite small, right on Victoria Dr at the corner of Charles. There are lots of trees on both sides of the street and the area is very residential. Even with GPS, I drove right past the shop initially without seeing it (the canopy of trees obstructed the shop sign and street sign for Charles). FYI. (Granted, I'm not familiar with this particular area). Once you know where the shop is, there are ample free parking spots on Victoria proper. The store interior is small but jam-packed with incredibly well-curated items. I really like that all (or the vast majority) are Canadian-made, and many, artisanal. From jewelry to greeting cards to candles to pottery and dinnerware, from textiles and cocktail napkins to organic cleaning supplies... you'd be hard-pressed not to find something perfect here, for yourself or a gift for others. I like how they carried local artists' works but also a few other well-known companies' works (i.e., Jenny Bird jewelry, for example). The two women who worked here when I visited couldn't have been nicer. They opened up their own cleaners that I was interested in, so I could smell the different scents, and we chatted a bit about all the fun stuff in the store. Great place! I know I'll be back.

You know one of those people so nice that you almost wish you could say " take it easy" that's how it feels. Sure being nice and welcoming it's what helps sells stuff here or anywhere but don't over do it. We just want to buy rings or diamonds and leave. But the process it's the most painful. Really it is. When you go there expect to stand for some 3 hours just to buy one god damm ring. I did and the ring was great my feet pain of standing wasn't. Please give costumers a chare!! You need to show you work but the costumer shouldn't take the weight of it in the process!! We go there to buy a ring not exercise, respect your costumers or they will avoid the place just based on the god damm waiting time for doing all the paper work. Based on waiting process time one would fit perfectly. That really must speed Up. Costumers don't have time to wait a full afternoon just to buy a ring. Sure it takes time, but when going to make your taxes goes faster then buying a ring you know slowness isn't paying off.

Never really noticed this place before but leave it up to our daughter to take notice of any place…read morethat's selling rocks! There was an area right by the front door that had a deal where you could take a small bag and fill it with as many rocks as you like for $7. Ok...they didn't use the word rocks. It was called the Coastal Crystals Pebble Patch. So I suppose these were pebbles and not rocks. What is a pebble? A smooth stone...a rock fragment. So...related to rocks but I suppose the technical term pebble sounds more refined. But I digress! I'm not a rock person myself although I probably did appreciate them more back in my younger days. While I'm not a rock person, I do have to admit, there were some beautiful pebbles at this shop and I enjoyed rummaging through the pile of pebbles to help my daughter fill her bag. Some of the pile weren't even pebbles. Some of them were crystals. There was a sign that said "There are over 15 types of authentic crystals and minerals waiting to be found!" Stepping inside the store was fun too. They really do have some gorgeous crystals in this store. If you're someone who's into beautiful pebbles and crystals then I highly recommend this place!

It's a gallery that's quite friendly, and also not your standard white box o' art. No, instead you twist and turn your way through the exhibition space, around corners and through mini-corridors of art. They specialize in modern art and paintings, but there's an occasional photography exhibit here as well. In addition, they sell prints, posters, and original works, plus offer appraisal and framing services. It's definitely worth a stop in.

Attempted to process a return with this business and was told they require the original till…read morereceipt--despite the fact that I presented an itemized receipt that clearly shows the full transaction details (date, items, price, and payment), which is exactly what a till receipt reflects. This requirement was never disclosed at the time of purchase, even though I specifically asked about their return process. Instead, after the fact, they pointed to wording on the receipt that says "receipts" (plural) as if that somehow retroactively justifies refusing the return. That is not transparent policy--it's moving the goalposts. In standard retail practice, an itemized proof of purchase is sufficient to process a return. Most businesses understand that the purpose of a receipt requirement is simply to verify the transaction. When a customer provides clear documentation that does exactly that, refusing a return on a technicality is not policy--it's avoidance. I have been a professional shopper supporting small businesses in this city for eight years, and I have never encountered a store using this kind of tactic. It comes across as slimy, unprofessional, and frankly dishonest. What's especially disappointing is that I've spent thousands of dollars here over the years. Instead of honoring a straightforward $300 return with valid proof of purchase, they chose to damage a long-standing customer relationship. Because of this experience, they've lost a loyal customer. I will also be advising other shoppers in my community to avoid this store due to what appears to be bad-faith and poor business practices. I cannot recommend a business that treats customers this way.
