I took the day off to go to Golden Dreidle and the kosher market around the corner so I could be stocked up for the holiday, and to my surprise, the store is shut down -- totally empty! I wish I had known this was going to happen. It's terribly depressing. I don't think we have a single Judaica store in OC now. I live in south OC, so I guess the nearest places for me now are up in Los Angeles. It looks like they are still selling things online. I was really looking forward to going into the store. I hope they are able to reopen a location at some point. read more

The Golden Dreidle - Empty Golden Dreidle shop :( - Spiritual Shop Near Me

This is an amazing store with incredible customer service. I needed a large quantity of Haggadahs that I can't find in my home state of Texas in a rush. the owner jumped on the issue and has them rushed to me in time for our Seder. don't hesitate to do mail order from here, they are a high quality trustworthy business read more

Everything went well. They had the most helpful staff and a nice selection of items. I understood that they are switching to a virtual store. read more

The shop owners are so kind and helpful. The store was full of amazing/ unique gifts and art works. The perfect shop to get those unique Jewish gifts for special occasions. I would highly recommend friends and family to visit and support this shop. We have found many one of a kind gifts for our loved ones here. read more

See all

Best judaica store in Southern California. Look no further for great prices, kindness and incredible ornate products. 11/10 shop here !!!

Any "laughing comments" you see on these reviews are ANTI-SEMITIC TROLLS! So, I would suggest you ignore these remarks! The Golden Dreidle has been a Orange County landmark for years! The owners Shahrokh and Julie, go out of their way to provide excellent customer service and their selection of Judaica is on point! My husband is looking forward to getting a set of Tefillin. I purchased a 14K Magen David from them years ago and I love it! We're looking forward to visiting them again very soon. Blessings, Shoshanna read more

Shahrokh, one of the owners, was incredibly helpful, accommodating, and a joy to work with. I walked in searching for honey dishes for rosh hashanah, a challah tray (needed a replacement), and a challah cover. In LA, I'm used to dealing with pushy shop owners who follow me around trying to sell me everything, and it is quite off putting. Shahrokh was not pushy at all and helped me find what I needed at a reasonable price. Anyway, I ended up walking out with everything I needed and more :) this place is truly a gem, and I will definitely shop here again. read more

Wonderful store. Warm and kind service as well. A spectacular selection to choose from for gifts or the holidays.

Love this place! Great selection! From Shabbat candles, prayer books, and holiday gifts to kippas and beautiful artwork, this place has it all. The owner is friendly, kind, helpful and resourceful. read more

I LOVE The Golden Dreidle! When I travel from Sacramento to visit family in Orange County, I must stop by this shop! There are so many treasures here and the owners are just delightful. read more

The Golden Dreidle is a wonderful place to visit, walk through, and provide you with your Jewish needs (as a quick FYI--you wouldn't have to be Jewish to enjoy this store)! They have a comprehensive realm of Judaic elements (books, yarmulkes, tallits, art, music, and everything else you might want). The merchandise is of high quality, very creative, and quite insightful. The prices reasonable and often discounted. You can find a world of Judaic range by going from wall to wall and aisle to aisle. You could deem this site as a Jewish department store. My wife and I found so many things that attracted us to buy or consider. I went there to purchase a Chai necklace and was able to find what I wanted for a price I could afford. My wife found a tallit and fell in love with it. It was truly affordable and desirable, so she bought it with joy. Shahrokh, one their store owners, was very kind and resourceful in listening to what we were looking for and finding it for us. For all they provide and how they offer it, the Golden Dreidle could truly be deemed a promised land for Judaic products and focus!! read more

The Golden Dreidle - A wonderful store with wonderful items!! - Spiritual Shop Near Me

What a perfect find. We were on our way to my nephew's Bar Mitzva and needed a card. Our LA family is Jewish and know where to shop but our OC family is not so I had no idea where to find a card in town. We yelped and found this precious bookstore. The shopkeeper was lovely to us though we were clearly not Jewish. He was gracious and made the visit quite enjoyable. There were many books I was interested in and so many lovely gift ideas in the store. They had cute sayings, bowls, silver and many beautiful things at all price levels. I highly recommend a stop here. read more

I forgot about this place until it just came up now on Yelp. I remember coming here as a kid to get Judaica and now I must go back

I'm so happy I found The Golden Dreidle! I needed a mezuzah scroll for my new house, and Shahrokh was so kind and helpful. This will definitely be my family's go-to shop for future needs. read more

I wish I could give this place more than 5 starts!!! My fiancé and I were in a pickle trying to find a last minute ketubah.. Long story short, the previous company we were working with canceled our order last minute just days before our wedding. I called and spoke with Julie who was an absolute joy!! She went above and beyond to help me and a rush order was placed. I am beyond grateful for their help. read more

This Judaic shop is truly golden. It is the best place in all of Orange County-- even in all of LA-- for your Judaic product needs, especially unique gifts for a Jewish a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Jewish wedding/ anniversary... you name it. This store is geared more towards the Reform/ Reconstructionist/ Conservative Jewish folks because of the "hip and modern" items that they sell. (This is not the right place for the Orthodox because they usually shop for very traditional and plain products.) The store owner is so helpful and friendly. He is happy to explain the purpose of a product that you may not know much about. If you cannot find exactly what you need (which is highly unlikely), he will go to great lengths to order it for you. I was very particular about a tallit, so he went through his thick catalog of tallitot with me. Wonderful man. You also have the option of ordering what you need on their website: http://www.goldendreidle.com/ But I heartily recommend visiting the store, especially if you are planning on buying a tallit. The tallitot are laid out on the display racks which allows you to choose from an array of stunning colors and patterns-- from the more traditional to the more contemporary. read more

This store is everything I had hoped it would be...and more. They have an amazing collection at a variety of price points. The staff is incredibly helpful without being pushy...which can happen a lot in smaller stores. I bought Rosh Hashanah books for my two boys and went another time to purchase a Kiddush Cup for my upcoming wedding. We are so happy with our purchase and my next purchase will be the Chabbat Meal Wooden Play-set for my boys. I love this place. It will be a weekly stop for sure...and there is a great boba spot just down the parking lot. read more

The Golden Dreidle - Great selection of Jewish-themed books and toys for kids!! - Spiritual Shop Near Me

Great little place in a small strip mall. The store had many very nice contemporary styled pieces. I came in and was greeted with ease, no pushy salesman. I said told the man behind the counter what I was looking for and why, he pointed me in the right direction and said "if you have any questions, I'm right here." That was all the selling he did! Fantastic! I'm used to people following you around and pushing items onto you so this was a breath of fresh air. I saw exactly what I was making sitting on the counter and the man reassured me that mine was going to better because it was made from the heart. I will come here for everything and anything Judaic related. read more

The Golden Dreidle was incredibly helpful in helping me get some last minutes, but desperately needed items for my wedding. Three weeks before the big day, we decided to get a ketubah. Knowing nothing about them, we went to the Golden Dreidle with our fingers crossed. They were very kind and helpful. The selection was plentiful and they assisted us throughout the entire process. When last minute we needed help with the bases to our chuppa, they jumped in and provided us with the necessary bases at a very fair price. I would absolutely recommend this store. It is a gem. read more

Great location. Has better prices and more selection than the stores in Los Angeles. Plus I don't need to drive a hour each way. No pressure store. They really care about our community read more

My wife and I love this store. By far my favorite store for anything Jewish in Southern California. The owners are wonderful people, always willing to talk and offer their help when we are trying to find something, which isn't hard in this store. Great selection, wonderful atmosphere, and very nice service. read more

My favourite store during the many years I visited California. Unfortunately I can no longer travel from the UK but order on line for family living in CA and have to say always get top class service. The shop owners are wonderful genuine people. Long may they reign. I could go on and on....... Lorna Kay, Manchester, UK. read more

They used to be in Costa Mesa, but this new location is good because it's not far off the freeway. They have a really good selection of everything, and the staff is super nice. Definitely a more comfortable shopping experience than other more frum judaica shops. read more

Very unique store. I like the variety of Jewish books and gift items. Not many Jewish bookstores in Orange County. A good place to start if you are thinking of converting or rediscovering your heritage. read more

Great little shop in a strip mall with some nice food choices. I was in Orange County for a day, so I did my usual search for bookstores. Golden Dreidle popped up, and I have an interest in Judaica, so off I went. The owner had just the right approach: help if required, otherwise he was in the background. Great selection of books, from kids' selections through Hebrew language texts and Tanakh. read more

I love this store. Every time I have come in they have been welcoming and helpful. I recently purchased a new beautiful tallit and was able to use their layaway program (so awesome since I didn't have the full amount at the time). Cannot wait to get it in soon! Would highly recommend to visit. read more

I've been coming to the Golden Dreidle since I was a little kid. Even though my life has now taken me to the East Coast, I still shop online with them for all of my Judaica. They are so accommodating and wonderful to work with. It is absolutely clear that they care deeply for their customers. No matter where I am, Golden Dreidle is my judaica store. Yasher koach! read more

Helpful staff with wide selection of goods. I bought a book that had a blemish. When I noticed it, they let me exchange it without any hassle. read more

Great little store with an impressive selection of Judaica. Shahrokh helped me find a nice wedding gift.

I have been utilizing this amazing shop for the past 5 years for many of my Judaica needs / wants. The store owners went out of their way this past month to find a specific Shofar that I have been looking. They found exactly what I wanted, Thank You The owners are very knowledgeable and open to answering any questions one may have. They do not push the store items on a customer, but will inform you on what will help broaden your knowledge in the faith. I would highly recommend this shop if you have any Judaica needs. read more

If you need a Jewish gift, definitely come here! This place has everything you need, and the owners are beyond helpful and kind. I am always curious to see what new items they have for the different holidays, and I come to buy gifts for friends and family often here. I am always greeted with such a warm and friendly smile, they assist me while choosing between items or trying to find something specific. I appreciate the time they take to answer my questions and to help me find something I truly will enjoy. Come and check this place out!! read more

Although shopping on the web is popular these days, you really have to go into this shop to see for yourself the great selection of items they have! Whether you're shopping for yourself, or for a gift, they have things available for almost every occasion. They also have nice quality things rather than the cheesy items you find many religious gift shops. Also a great selection of jewelry! read more

They have wonderful things .... really beautiful handmade items ... handpainted silk prayer shawls, table covers, matzah covers. A good collection of mezazahs ... and great gift items. Julie, one of the owners, is lovely. She helped me think through what I was buying, the colors I would need. She didn't try to hard sell me anything, but she did help me get what I needed. The Golden Dreidle will have a booth at the Purim Festival at the Yorba Linda Community Center, 4501 Casa Loma Ave, in Yorba Linda, on Sunday, March 11th, in the afternoon. So ... in case you can't get to the store during the week, come on by and see what they've got! And then, I'm sure you'll be inspired to go and check out their store ... Shalom! Shalom! read more

Pay attention very carefully, as this is my HORRIBLE experience with this "Little shop of Horrors". My fiancee and I went in and ordered our Ketubah and specifically asked if we needed to come back and purchase a "back-up" Ketubah, in case the UPS 2 day service they use, did not deliver on time. After being told a bunch of S!@# by the man ..."Oh no it will be there on time...." This is for you Sir: "NO, our Ketubah DID NOT COME IN! AGAIN, it DID NOT ARRIVE IN TIME FOR OUR WEDDING!" I have happily told EVERYONE at our temple about this and hopefully, you the reader, WILL HEED this warning and DON'T spend or waste your monies here! (We will not!) Shame on you Sir, I can only hope that you lose business over this review, we will never forget this ever, nor will the others in our bridal party, and you can BET that this story will circulate... soo have a good one! This business should be named.."The Golden Nothing." read more
