Walked in, walked out with a CUTE sweatshirt that screams "money!" which is exactly what I wanted. Love the options and tons of cute selections. If I'm in town, I'd absolutely plan to come back. Thanks!! read more

I came in for a hat that was sold out and was so bummed about it. I then called the store the next day and spoke to Maricela. Let me just begin by saying she had such great customer service and made it happen. She advised they were sold out, however she took my information down and advised she would reach out when the new shipment arrived. She communicated every step of the way until the hat arrived. Wow!!!! You deserve an award! She made sure I got what I wanted. Her communication and great best customer service, made it such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Thank you Maricela we need more people like you. Great place to shop with ton of options and super cool hats. read more

Rude employees , not helpful at all . Judging everything we did in store . Overpriced basic sweaters.

A wonderful response to my problem. Their phone was not working but they saw the message on Yelp. Karen, one of the managers, contacted me and they will mail them to me. Thank you! read more

Love the selection every time I go! I always find a beautiful & unique hoodie that lasts for years!! They've got cute little keepsakes & fab regional sticker selection. I love this store & hope they stay forever! It's a 'must stop' every single time I go to Carmel. read more

I am literally writing this on Yelp because no one answers their phone when I call (and they are open at this time) and there is no email address that I can find. I would be delighted to change my review if someone can address my question. I bought a piece of jewelry Item # 23329 ES 2113 on 10/23/24. I paid cash to the cashier - Marisela, but realized when I got home that in taking back the change, I had neglected to pick up the actual piece I bought. I would like to find out if that piece was set aside in case I came back. Hopefully someone reads reviews here. Thank you. read more

Laub's Country Store - Souvenir Shops Near Me - Carmel, California

As a local we always like to support Carmel by the Sea shops and take guest shopping at Laub's Country Store! Never again the manager today was extremely rude as the entire staff! I was happy to spend over $500.00 today until I was told if I wanted a bag for 25 cents! Yes I understand it's a state regulation but where the the customer serves? You have lost a good customer for twenty five cents!!! As I said we support local business but not this shop anymore!! Horrible experience! read more

Saw some cute t-shirts on display for $16.99 so I had to get them as souvenirs! The Hairy Otter shirt was too cute to pass up on. :) They also sell some adorable otter coasters. Worth a look! read more

Season's Greetings Everyone! I work next door at the Keller Williams Coastal Estates office and love to visit this shop. As a Realtor, I am always buying gifts in appreciation for referrals for family and friends. This store carries magnificent Carmel logo clothing and souvenirs. They stock mostly high quality, attractive, beautiful goods with cheerful friendly service from the staff, to help you out. The display windows are lovely, with all the seasonal garland trim. My surfer relatives really dig the shirts and comfortable lounge clothes. Enjoy the ambiance! read more

Carmel is a great destination for someone like me, great town, lots to do and visiting here is always awesome. I recently decided to get some shirts and stumbled upon Carmel classics and Laub's country store. They were awesome, service was great and Mary did an excellent job in helping me. They have nice champion Carmel shirts which were surprisingly great quality. They didn't have one size I wanted but gladly shipped it when they had it in stock. Overall amazing customer service and great selection of products. read more

My wife and I were looking for some nice momentums to bring back to our children from our weekend trip to Carmel. Not wanting to be gouged, we went from store looking for for that right item. We walked into Laub's Country Store and the immense selection of shirts was impressive enough for us to start browsing. We immediately found a great sweater for my daughter that was just perfectly "her". The price was reasonable so we kept looking for the rest of the family. Between the amazing selection and excellent staff and their great assistance, we ended up finding something for everyone that was perfect in more than one way. Pricing wasn't outrageous either and for a total of five people, we got out under $130! If you are looking for some great shirts or sweaters branded with Carmel, then you want to stop into Laub's Country Store. You will not be disappointed. read more

We'd walked by this store countless times over the years when I finally popped in to check out a Big Sur t-shirt for my husband who will only wear 100% cotton t-shirts. Found one for him and scored a sale on a Carmel t-shirt for myself which is now one of my 2 favorite t-shirts. This has now become a regular stop for us whenever we go to Carmel. My daughter now has a matching Carmel t-shirt as well. Can't beat the selection of cotton tees! Living in the Bay area we love wearing tees with some of our favorite Northern California landmarks. Make great gifts too! read more

The selection here is really lacking compared to what's available on the website. The teenagers working aren't very helpful either. I wanted to do an exchange but left empty handed read more

Great spot for tourists to pick up some souvenir for friends and family. I'd buy their stuff if it didn't have "Monterey" or "Carmel by the Sea" printed on their cute hoodies and tops. Located conveniently on the corner of Ocean Ave. and San Carlos. read more

I'm giving one star based on service and atmosphere not on the actual merchandise. Honestly, how many twenty-something girls do they need working during a shift? I felt like I walked into a girls day hang out sesh. It was really awkward. Not one of them greeted me or anyone else who entered the store, they were too busy laughing and having loud conversations with each other to even be bothered with any of the customers. Glad they're having a great time at work but if you don't make customers feel welcome they won't buy things and if they don't buy things you won't have a job. Otherwise the store has plenty of touristy type goodies, t-shirts, stickers, magnets, etc. read more

Good place to pick up t-shirts and sweatshirts for the family back home. The prices are a bit steep but the fabric isn't that thin crappy cotton stuff some stores provide - it is nice, thicker cotton. They have some really cute designs in the store and a good selection. If you hit the sale racks you'll do better. The staff were super friendly and very helpful, and of course, dog-friendly. read more

Best customer service! I was visiting Carmel from Northern California and purchased a t-shirt for my husband. When I go home, he discovered a small tear in the collar. I contacted the store via email through their website and literally - within one minute - received a response. They were so sorry for the problem and said they'd send another out to me right away and there was no need to send the damaged shirt back to the store. They asked for a picture of the shirt, which was one of their most popular, and what size I needed, A day later, I received the new t-shirt in the mail! My husband and I were amazed by the prompt courteous service by Carmel Classics Inc./Laub's Country Store! read more

I bought a sweatshirt from them on Friday, March 22nd; I wore it on Monday, March 25th and saw, at that time, that the color on the left front and left sleeve had migrated or faded. I called them, that Monday, to check on exchanging or returning the sweatshirt, but was told that they have a non-returnable policy. Vivian Lewis read more

I love this store! Super cute merchandise and souvenirs. Wide selection of items. Store is clean and the staff are friendly. Store is open late for Carmel, so you can stop in after dinner and such. Definitely worth a trip when you're in town. read more

This review is for a purchase I made over the phone. I couldn't have found a more kind, patient, and accommodating person. Mariana (hopefully spelling her name right) was kind enough to email me pictures of the sweatshirts available for my purchase. This was so helpful for making my decision of what to buy. I am very pleased with the excellent customer service! read more

I was there last week and found great Carmel ,Monterey and pebble beach items. There were some very well made sweaters and hooded shirts that were very tempting as I couldn't actually buy all the items that piqued my interest. The only drawback is the lack of an active website, as I live on the east coast( for now) and would have liked to order additional items. read more

Maybe we are too picky, or maybe they've cheaped out since 3 years ago, but my friend and I were not impressed with the flimsy fabric we found at this store. She really wanted to get a shirt for her younger sister, but although some items looked charming enough, there was nothing substantial there especially at the asking price. We didn't stay there long. read more

My experience with this business was great. Very helpful and friendly staff. I purchased several items from this store and found the quality and price reasonable. This store provides items for gift giving and I was pleased as were the recipiants of the gifts. I'm hopeful that I will be able to exchange one gift, as I grabbed the wrong size. Grey Fantaskullery is very cool, by California Classics. read more

I bought a sweater for my son. He changed his mind before leaving the store. The worker said I could not return. That's silly.
