You can't miss this spot as you drive by. There are tons of - you guessed it - flamingos outside,…read moreas well as pink flags and a big sign. It's a popular stop and very busy. The pricing is great inside - the garden sculptures outside, on the other hand, are on the expensive side. Nevertheless, Flamingo Jims will keep you busy for awhile and really counts as a tourist stop as much as a shopping stop. They have photo ops out in the yard and so much to look at inside and outside. The clothing is a great value, as is the jewelry and souvenirs. I appreciated the availability of plus-size or one size apparel and jewelry. Everyone behind the counter was friendly and efficient.

We usually get a bit of candy to take back to our rental, plus something on sale because-- bargains. It's pretty loud in there, it's packed full so aisles are narrow, and there's usually only one cashier.

Decent selection. Woman behind the counter sort of looked like she might've hated all people or…read moremaybe just me. She didn't say a word or emote the whole time I was in there.

Hal's General Store and Hal's Emporium are in the same location but in two different buildings…read more I've always went into Hal's General Store thinking it was Hal's Emporium, which was just a slight oversight on my part because they are owned and operated by the same person. Hall's General Store is what it sounds like and what my first review was mainly on so this time I'm going to focus on Hal's Emporium side of the business. It is more crafts and gift side with a discount item section in the back. You have to experience Hal's Emporium to full appreciate review. All I can really say is that you'll save a lot of money and find really interesting stuff at both stores. It is well worth stopping in and browsing about. Over a year later, I still like shopping at both stores.

When it was my turn to order an older man behind me pushed around me and started ordering. When I said hold on, I was next he just kept talking and pretending I wasn't there. The barista made eye contact with me and paused for a minute, obviously seeing what just happened. She began making his drink and I just stood there in disbelief. Maybe she didn't know how to respond? But then the other baristas started chatting him up as he was clearly a regular. Wow. I knew there were rude people out there but I didn't know we were catering to them now. Made me feel small and definitely helpless as a woman. Good job Manzanita News and Espresso. You just allowed a grown man to push around and pretend a younger woman doesn't even exist.
