I've been here several times and they always have interesting art pieces in rotation. But besides…read morethe artwork, the place it self is a great space for any art enthusiast. With its two-story open concept and brick walls, it has an urban yet elevated industrial vibe. I came here recently during Comic Con week and in addition to the modern pop art downstairs, I geeked out on the Marvel pieces upstairs. They featured the original comic books, time stone, orb, and a few life-sized Marvel super heroes. It was a treat and appropriate for Comic Con, of course! Can't wait to see which talented artists they'll feature at the gallery next.

I walked in over a year ago not knowing anything at all about working with clay, and I was introduced to working with it by patient instructors and now have a blast (possibly an addiction) to improving my skills-- all while having an amazing time. I recommend you go check it out! Such a variety of talented individuals working to create new work all of the time!

This is an incredible place to learn new skills or even for the beginner in clay. Such a warm and…read morewelcoming environment and everyone helps one another in addition to the incredible knowledge of the owners.

What an amazing gallery, all of the pieces were unique. I just could not believe what some of the…read moreart was made of...things such as knives, forks, nuts, bolts, wrenches you name it it went into the artwork. There was even art made from old bullet casings. In addition there were carvings from various types of wood and paintings. The artwork consisted of anything and everything there was something for everyone. Definitely a neat little spot to visit whenever you're at Coronado.

There were so many amazing, interesting pieces here! I could stay there forever…read more The person there was very nice and we had good conversation. He told us about the artists, pointed out pieces he thought we would like, and was a pleasure to be around. There are prominent signs out front saying no food, drink, or cellphone use inside. I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised when asked to leave when ignoring those rules. It's pretty standard for most galleries. I will definitely be back when looking to redecorate. There are so many things I would love to showcase.

Cutest store ever!…read more There's such a great selection of items! The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how good it smelled. Everything I smelled, smelled sooo good. Lots of candle, soap, and lotion options! Theres so many random things to name but all cute. To note, there is specifically a cute little pet section and baby section in the back! They have a wall of the cutest greeting cards. There's also cute dainty jewelry. There's also some La Mesa merch that I promised myself I would buy if my dream of owning a house in La Mesa ever comes true! Great times with great value, the pricing was very reasonable for everything! I was also immediately greeted by the cashier Darav. She was so sweet and I enjoyed our conversation. She was playing Taylor Swift (my favorite). She wrapped up all my items carefully and put it in a bag with ribbon. It was so cute and I can't wait to gift the items I bought! She also let me know if you join their loyalty program you get discounts when you spend a certain amount. It's easy to spend lots of money here because everything is so nice! I will definitely come back any time I need a gift or just want to buy myself something nice!

The perfect little gem in downtown La Mesa! We stopped in…read moreafter brunch and loved browsing this beautifully curated shop. It's full of charming finds, plants, home goods, skincare, stationery, small gifts, and more. The jewelry selection really caught my eye, and I thought the prices were fair for the quality. The service was outstanding--so warm and personal, and they even wrapped my gift for me, which was such a thoughtful touch. Can't wait to come back soon!

Definitely a unique spot right in downtown La Mesa. They have their own free parking lot which is…read morenice. We stopped by before we went to the weekly Fri farmers market. The mall is set up where there are small stations throughout (like a mall) where each one sells their unique goods. There didn't seem to be any pattern to how the store was situated so you never knew what you'd see from station to station. Lots of home goods, toys and memorabilia. Prices were reasonable.

The last of the surviving La Mesa antique stores! I like to come here once a month or so to check…read moreout their inventory. This is my neighborhood antique store so it's easy to stop by once and awhile. I think in my last review I said I never find anything, well that sure has changed! They have tons of amazing jewelry, furniture and any antiques you heart desires. I am particularly fond of the booth that has pink glassware, vintage aprons and perfume bottles as well as the one with vintage slips. There's always something new. I purchased a fantastic barrister bookcase a few years ago that's been put to good use and is well loved. If you are in La Mesa definitely stop by!

The selection were not on par with much smaller stores that haven't been around as long and as boasted . And just because you've had a few decent events that some cool writers have painted in the side of your business. I b just wasn't impressed, and can def go elsewhere if the 2nd question I ask you make it seem like I ruined your whole damn day. Only reason I didn't 1 star because at the time I knew nowhere else but the internet to get paint. Would be surprised if this place is still around in a year or 2.

He's a poser and his art is junk, no talent. I think his products are old because the paint did not perform well.

My first impression walking up to shop, it's going to be filled with all kinds of goodies. The reality exceeded my expectations. I did give myself a budget before I walked in of $100. I headed to the back to find the Oracle deck cards. She had a decorative table in the back displaying her gorgeous Oracle deck cards. There were little refreshments and amazing cookies to celebrate the occasion. After learning more about Oracle deck cards, I decided to shuffle and pull two cards. They were exactly on point. I became emotional and decided to explore the rest of the store. I realized I did give myself a big enough budget. It truly was a gift givers paradise: stones, teas, essential oils, aromatherapy, skincare, books, socks, stickers, cards, plushies, jewelry, etc. I ended up only purchasing two sets of Oracle Deck cards, but I already bookmarked this shop to return for future gift shopping. The cashier was super friendly!
