It's right next to a hiking trail, and the whole setting feels like it blends into nature instead of sitting on top of it. There's a small waterfall, benches to sit and take everything in, and lots of different rock displays to explore. They also have a wide range of rocks at different price points, so there's something for every budget if you're just browsing or looking for a meaningful piece. Theres usually one person on duty, but its not too busy so the service is quick and can be personalized. I actually bought a large heart-shaped rock here that I still have and really enjoy. A lot of the pieces I collected in my twenties came from this spot, so it holds a bit of nostalgia for me as well. I'm also really glad to see they made it through the Topanga fires. I'm hoping to make it back down there soon. Parking is plentiful, which makes visiting easy and stress-free. Just a heads up though, the ground is entirely made of rocks and uneven terrain, so be careful when walking around since it's not a solid or flat surface. Overall, it's a peaceful, grounding place that feels both unique and connected to the landscape around it.

Just walking into the yard area of Topanga Rocks is relaxing. It is an adorable store and kept so…read morenice. pretty organized and the selection is great. Now, you can get a lot of the crystals and jewelry elsewhere at a better price. This is not a bargain store. What you do get here is calm service and staff that is helpful and can guide you. It is also connected to or affiliated with Jalan Imports which has great things from Bali. I love their Buddhas. I can't afford (anywhere) the large ones, but one day I am going to find a small one and be a happy camper. I love their silver jewelry and have bought a couple of pieces there. They have an amazing selection of crystals from super tiny to just huge. They are all beautiful and again the place is just chill and no one bothers you. I just adore the staff and the main reason for my return. I also love the smell of the place. It is so worth a visit or three. Have fun.

It's clean, thoughtfully put together, and has a beautiful selection of books, crystals, oils, candles, incense, and jewelry. Definitely a great place to browse and take your time. The only thing that threw me off a bit was that the person at the front (near the spiral staircase entrance) was having a full dinner at the register when I walked in. I completely understand needing to eat, but it made the space feel a little less open for interaction. I noticed people, including myself, kind of just looked around quietly and moved on without asking questions or making purchases. I actually had a few things I was considering buying, but I didn't feel comfortable interrupting, so I ended up leaving without them. It might help to have someone cover the front or step away briefly during breaks so the space still feels welcoming and easy to engage with. Overall, it's a beautiful shop, just a small tweak in that area could really enhance the experience.

We had gone in before our dinner…read morereservation at The Inn of the 7th Ray and I was going to go back in to buy a bunch of crystals for a friend whose brother was just killed in a motorcycle accident, to help with her grief, and when we went back they had closed AN HOUR early. I am so upset!! I was counting on getting my friend crystals from there. I even said out loud as we walked out that we'd be back after dinner to buy a bunch of items. Don't expect them to be open when they say they'll be open. Bad business practice!!

Such a fun place to explore, especially if you love vintage finds and one-of-a-kind treasures!

Packed with creative displays, quirky collections with Black Mirror vibes, random little nooks and crannies, and a backyard that feels like a bomb went off at Facebook Marketplace. A good spot to browse and wander. If you're coming to thrift, though, prepare yourself emotionally. Prices are not what anyone would call "thrifty." We did manage to uncover a treasure chest of 60s vintage silk scarves priced at $12-$20, so miracles do happen. But on the whole, it's about a three star spot for thrifting: finds, but very expensive. Staff was hands off, which I actually appreciate when browsing. Overall, a good place to wander around and take photos while pretending you might actually buy that $400 vintage letterman's jacket.

My…read morefriend purchased the gift card for my birthday, paid $100 for it, was not told cannot be used on sale items. Needless to say, what the owner is doing is not just immoral but illegal. I'm sure she's done it to other customers as well. By coincidence, my other friend was shopping with me same day, was paying cash for her multiple items and Sammy tried to give her $20 less in change. Certainly doesn't feel like honest mistake, given how she runs her business. Cheating her customers and also hiding behind the fact that her receipts don't show any itemization, just a date and total dollar amount, so there's no way to tell what she charged for which item.

OK, you're driving down Topanga Canyon from Malibu. It's a two lane road. And you could easily pass…read moreJalan Jalan Imports. But if you catch a glimpse of the sign at just the right time and make a sharp turn left, ideally missing the demonic oncoming traffic, you're there. Technically this plot of land is shared by Jalan Jalan Imports and Topanga Rocks. Topanga Rocks, I could take or leave. Jalan Jalan on the other hand... So, what is this place? Good question. What you are about to see on this lot are an enormous number of Balinese statues. Mostly Ganesha and Siddhartha Buddha, but also some apsaras (celestial nymphs) and a few other members of the Hindu and Buddhist pantheons. Many of the statues are very beautiful. But with few exceptions they are carved from stone and are 1) very big, 2) very expensive. The only people who would normally buy these are either New Age types that want a statue at the end of their heated pool (these statues are clearly designed to be outside) or perhaps a very devout Buddhist or Hindu who saved a month's salary to have a giant murti (form of a god) for inside their home So, why are we here? Well, you might want to spend 10 or 15 minutes looking at the statues (they are very pretty), but soon your eyes will wander. And then you'll see it: Owl Falls. Owl Falls is an incredibly picturesque waterfall. It is not a heavy stream, but it is continuous and beautiful. You can wade into the water. You can sit on the rocks. Or you can just watch it and contemplate existence for fifteen minutes. It's an incredibly peaceful and lovely place. You may want to explore a little more before you leave. If you go up the stairs toward the...geodesic dome/hut...thing, you will find a Balinese Hindu Shrine. Every time I've visited, it is covered with cash, coins from all over the world, pieces of jewelry and little pieces of paper (prayer requests, I assume). It is pretty damn cool. So, in conclusion: are the statues for sale cool? Yes. But is going to Jalan Jalan Imports merely an excuse for visiting the gorgeous waterfall and exploring the traditions of other cultures? Absolutely.

Being that management was not so pleasant has deterred me from visiting/feeling comfortable in the store. I am a school teacher, I've never worked for you sweetie. Sounds like management is just as distasteful as the staff.
