Sorry, this is long overdue. I've been here once before. I stumbled onto this shop looking for a unique gift. Found something perfect and just never really thought about it again. I was told they had jelly cats, and while looking for a special floral one I was recommended to try this place out. I pulled up and to my surprise, I knew I had been here before. So cute, do much to look at. They had the exact jelly I needed for my gift, and a very cute one for me to put into my collection. The ladies were very friendly and helpful. Everyone who was in the store was happy and chattering. I forgot how cute and charming this place is. I will definitely be back! Love it. read more

I was the recipient of a gorgeous Christmas bouquet. The communication was excellent, they delivered exactly when they said they would, and the arrangement is absolutely beautiful. If you're looking to send flowers, this is the place. read more

Went there for a few gifts for my girls friends, which I was able to find cute items. Some are a bit expensive but unique. The two ladies working there were not the friendliest but not outwardly rude either... just a very weird vibe. Not sure I'll return unless I'm in a pinch for that reason alone. read more

What a treasure of a store! A gift for every occasion from jewelry, to candles, household, clothing to speciality gifts. They also have the most amazing florists so I've enjoyed purchasing both bouquets and arrangements. I also look forward to their decorations and beautifully featured holiday displays. It really is a fun adventure to shop there for self and others. Independently owned too. Love that it is owner operated. read more

I love this store. Unique in every way, the items are personal and thoughtful. Our entire family shops here for artistic bird feeders to gift cards! You cannot go and not make a purchase read more

I called Romance Etc on the recommendation of my cousin who lives in Long Beach. I was looking for creative, artistic and unusual to honor the passing of a dear friend's husband. After seeing the stunning arrangements on their website, I called. Couldn't have been nicer and delivered that afternoon as needed. The bouquet was absolutely spectacular! Perhaps the nicest I've ever sent. Gorgeous pastel colors, highly unusual composition. My dear friend and her family could not stop talking about it. This really honored the loss of a remarkable man. I cannot thank them enough. read more

Very cool shop. Great gifts for brides! I found unique ornaments for my Christmas tree too. The shop itself is gorgeous.

Gorgeous flowers and so helpful! Delivered a beautiful arrangement on the same day. I highly recommend Romance Etc. read more

I love this shop! I lost track of it when they left 2nd Street, but I'm so glad I found it again. There is an amazing selection of cool things. I found a great book and puzzle for my niece.

I love this sweet shop. I recently hosted a "west coast" wedding reception for my daughter and her wife. Deborah asked me to send her some pics of colors I was wanting and she took it from there. The floral arrangements exceeded my expectations. We wanted a dessert table rather than a traditional wedding cake and Deborah went way out her way to make sure the table was set up beautifully. The florals and platters really made the table look amazing! Thanks again Deborah and crew!! read more

This store used to be on second street in Belmont Shore. I been a fan since they had the small store (23 years ago) where I was window shopping and I wanted this Cherub angel planter, but I left my money at home and since I lived 5 minutes walking distance the girl stayed open for me. They made an impression on me. AMAZING customer service and they carry most beautiful things. Then they relocated a few doors down into a huge store and when they closed that store, so many people in Belmont Shore where heart broken. I'm so glad I stumbled upon them again. This store is just adorable and always hold a special place in my heart read more

I have to say, the ladies at Romance Etc did such a fantastic job on my last minute floral arrangement. They were so easy to work with, and within just a few hours they provided a beautiful flower bouquet for my fiancés bridal shower. Thank you so much again! read more

This shop is not only great to deal with but they also give back to the local community and support up comming local artists........the best thing was that they did this cheaper than the other shops so not only was it a savings.....but we got a better product too! read more

You know those types of stores where you shop for others but not for yourself? Romance Etc is that type of store. It's gift-y and filled with beautiful things that you'll want to buy for the people you love. Pretty things, things that sparkle, things that smell good, things that look nice on a shelf, things that look classy on a table, things that look lovely on wrist/neck/ears. The perfect gift can be found for most everyone in your life at Romance Etc. Still, I buy MYSELF something every time I go. I mean, I should love me too, right? I deserve nice things! I have a recent and self-imposed tradition of visiting Romance Etc during every visit to L.A. and buying myself a pair of dangling earrings. Other than choosing which pair, it's not hard...they stay well-stocked with Clara Beau and Catherine Popesco beauties. My last two visits I bought TWO pairs each time. Apparently I love myself a little too much. Well, at least I know where to go to buy myself something nice! read more

This is my FAVORITE shop in Long Beach! They have everything! I have never visited without purchasing something. I also have a bad habit of buying something for a friend but then keeping it because I LOVE it! So, I have to pay them another visit to buy a replica for my friends. EVERY HOLIDAY is magical at Romance Etc. Their front window display is stunning! The ladies are incredibly helpful with ideas and they create the most beautiful bouquets. I truly cannot say enough about this shop. You MUST visit! You'll walk out with a full heart! read more

A beyond stunning floral arrangement was just delivered to me for my birthday. I can't say enough about how absolutely beautiful the arrangement is. Unique flowers, such as parrot tulips and cherry blossoms, all so artfully pulled together. I have always loved their shop, but now I know where I will be ordering all my florals from! Thank you to my bestie Val, and thank you Debra for going the extra mile on making today so special. read more

I came here 2 weeks before getting married to ask about a bouquet and boutonnière. I sent her an inspiration pic and went over what I wanted. I was absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out. Kudos to the ladies there for getting my needs met and not breaking the budget. From start to finish, they made the process easy and were kind to work with. I would definitely recommend them and personally, would use them again in the future. The flowers were beautiful and pretty much perfection!! read more

Awesome gift shop - candles, jewelry, perfume, and tons more! I love getting thank you and hostess gifts here. But I'm really here to talk about wedding flowers. :-) I love Deb and I will be forever grateful to her for making our wedding absolutely GORGEOUS. I don't know much about flowers. I'm not very good at articulating what I do and don't want. But none of that mattered because Deborah is so awesome at what she does, she asked me all the right questions and came up with honestly, the coolest centerpieces and bouquet I've ever seen. Tons of guests asked me if they could take the centerpieces home and they all wanted to know who provided the flowers. Deb is one of the hardest working people I know. She communicated with me over and over again to make sure we were on the same page and all logistics (e.g., transporting flowers from our church to the reception site) were handled properly. This might sound minor but I also really appreciated the reminders from her regarding balances due and other details because it was overwhelming to me, dealing with so many different vendors. Every vendor has a different set of rules, different dates by which balances are due, etc. and so I really liked being reminded from their end, what they needed from me. Thank you Deb, and Romance Etc. You made our wedding the best looking one ever!!! We loved it. You guys rock! read more

They offer the most unique selection of cool gifts anywhere. When I absolutely run out of gift ideas, I know 100% that I'm going to find something awesome here. Gifts for Moms, Dads, Wives, neighbors. Funny gifts, sentimental ones, jewelry, heirloom type gifts. The staff are awesome and helpful and they always have excellent music playing. When all hope is lost, come here. You'll leave looking like a hero. read more

I was super excited to find this store. Ever since my favorite store closed Los Coyotes Gift Store. I've been looking for a new store with out of the ordinary gifts. Well I did love the items in this store (a little pricy though) still very good quality. The complaint I have is the sales ladies who work there not friendly at all. I wasn't even greeted or asked if I was finding everything. One specific lady practically shoved me out of the way. Wow! I will not shop in a store where I am not greeted or respected. read more

I love this place. Every arrangement is uniquely beautiful. My gift recipient was thrilled and complimented Debra for her follow-up.

These ladies are open right now and have beautiful flowers ready to go:) They also do custom orders and are extra nice to us seniors! Thanks so much for always being so sweet read more

Worst customer service, they don't give refunds even if you return within 24 hours. California state law indicates all returns are allowed within 24 hours of purchases. As I'm talkng to her, she claims to have a head ache and walks away. She then starts to say an argument started and can't handle or smart enough to know how to handle complaints. Except claim to have a head ache and run and hide in the back room. She's extremely rude. She then tries to literally push me out the store when I told her if she touches me that would be assault. That's when she backed of. Over priced things, not of quality, and ignorant staff who knows nothing except how to push their weight around, literally. Worst shopping experience of my entire life! read more

This place has the cutest and gorgeous things!! It's one of those shops that makes you feel good when you walk in. Or if you are feeling depressed, it'll temporary distract you and you might feel a bit of a relief when you walk out. lol I always end up buying something small and something I don't need like candle, room spray, etc. when I walk in to this shop It's just too hard to resist. Things are on a bit on the pricey side but just can't resist. read more

Wow, just gorgeous! Ordered for a friends birthday and was so amazed by the result. Stayed within price range, delivered on time before 12:30pm, gave the types of colors/style of what I was going for and exceeded all expectations. Made the perfect centerpiece. Will be back and recommend for anyone looking for a unique bouquet! read more

I LOOOOOOVE Romance, etc! On my nightly walks down 2nd Street with my new husband Romance, etc. is a favorite spot to visit because they always change around the store - there is always something new to see, especially during the holidays! They really mean the ETC! I love that they have expanded the floral portion of their store to include plants, planters and really showcase this part of their store because they truly do a very thoughtful and beautiful job. At our recent August wedding in San Dimas Deborah did an amazing job on the bridal bouquets - they lasted all afternoon! Per our request, she added succulent plants with the fresh flowers and I got teary-eyed when I saw them. (I will try to post pictures!) I never got back to her about the ribbon (my bad) but per our previous conversations, pictures, and Deborah's amazing sense of what the customer is looking for, the ribbon she added was the perfect touch. :) Kimi... despite being one of the prettiest guests, set-up and later transferred the altar garland from the gazebo/altar to the wedding party table. It was supposed to be really hot and it was definitely made to last. My Aunt took it home because it was so beautiful. Thank you thank you thank you for everything you did to make our wedding planning easy, our wedding beautiful, and our nightly walks a true pleasure when we visit Romance, etc. We love the store and the staff who are always so welcoming and helpful. We always leave your store with a smile! :) read more

This store is a hidden gem! Twice my daughter and I purchased a boutonnière and corsage and we were beyond satisfied. The flower combinations and colors were jaw dropping beautiful. They looked like something out of a magazine. The customer service was great. I've walked into this store before just to browse and didn't have a problem with anyone hovering. Prices are higher than what I'm used to paying but it is worth every single penny. You won't regret paying more for the quality and floral arranging talent. They have the "WOW" factor in their artistry. I'm definitely using this florist from now on for every special occasion. read more

I never personally met Deborah,but my sister knows her pretty well.

This is my ALL time favorite shop. A girl couldn't ask for more. Jewelry, gifts, furniture, cards, plants, flowers and chocolates- it's heaven. I'm sad to see it leaving second street though, but happy they are still around Long Beach. I've shopped here since I came as in college ...yikes since like 15 years ago. The truffles they have are amazing. The flowers are beautiful and they display them so perfectly outside in tin flower bins. The decor is exquisite- from lighting to little knick knacks... its ALL just perfect. read more

BEST FLORIST I HAVE EVER HAD! Deborah was our florist for our wedding in April, and people are STILL raving about the flowers and how amazing they were.
