Derived from Yiddish and Slavic roots, the term refers to items like collectibles, branded swag, or small souvenirs. They are generally considered sentimental to the owner but clutter to others.

I visited last week with my kids after taking the train down from LA. We stopped in before it was…read moretime to head back, but unfortunately it ended up being the most uncomfortable part of our trip. The whole time we were shopping, two employees seemed to follow us from section to section. Every time I stopped to browse, they were nearby watching us, which made me feel like they suspected we were gonna steal something. Whether that was their intention or not, it made me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. I was really disappointed that my visit to San Juan Capistrano ended this way. I'll definitely return to the city, but I won't be returning to this store. As a Latino customer, I left feeling like I was being profiled.

He was so professional and caring. He called and came by twice to show us the side board to make sure it was what we had in mind. We were so happy, we sent 2 more pieces of furniture with him to do the same thing. His price was very fair as well. Highly recommend!

They were easy to work with and extremely quick turnaround time...we even went out to their shop to inspect it before we committed to having them refinish our desk. Their shop was spotless and they had a number of items to inspect and that is what sealed the deal for us is that their shop was spotless and very nice things they were working on. They also came and picked up the desk and delivered it back here as well... this was a risk for us because we had reached out to a handful of companies a couple years ago and looked at their work online and was just not happy with their work. If you are in the market for having some furniture refinished, we strongly recommend Heredia Antiques.

As I walked past them, one of the women said "we close in 7 minutes so make it quick quick!" In a snarky tone and continued to stare me down. So I turned around "quick quick" and left.

Whatever it may be...I don't think I should have been talked to this way as a potential customer. A nice "Hey, welcome in! Just to let you know, we close in 7 minutes.
