THE LONG BEACH VILLAGE HAT SHOP IS GONE. Shut down. Boarded up. Cleared out. Closed for good. I visited yesterday, January 8 2026, in the early afternoon and the building was boarded up. I could see inside the dirty windows and the shelves were all emtpy. I asked a Security guy and he said all the stock was moved out and the place shut down around New Years Day 2026. read more

Don't go here when they are about to close they literally countdown your minutes of when you need to get out because they are closing! Worst experience. Your in the business to make sales with tourist and I will never go back there'!!! Do better for your customers! Rude. read more

This store has been here for many years. They carry variety of hats from caps to fancy women's hats. There is always something cute that you will find here. My husband just purchased a woven hat that has a look of a cap. It's so cool. Warm and stylish. Prices are on the higher side but it is a family owned business at a tourist attracted area. Customer service is not that friendly, moody employees. If you are a store selling to mostly tourists you need to be more enthusiastic and eager to sell. Just saying.... read more

Village Hat Shop - Yes! - Hats Near Me - Long Beach, California

Horrible experience from the lazy employees who had bad attitudes & horrible customer service. I asked a question regarding a hat and she was very unhelpful and the other employee didn't want to stop what she was doing to get the hat down from the top section which said ask for assistance. I ended up finding a hat on my own but she sure didn't assist me with anything!!! SMH! read more

An extensive collection of every kind of hat you can imagine, prices ranging from like 15.00 to 190.00 - Fedoras, Mad Hatter, News Boy Caps, Fishing Hats, Bowlers.. a really great little shop. It is in the Shoreline Village, so you will most likely have to pay for parking, but if you make a shopping and dining trip of it, you can always visit all the other little shops and have a meal (sit down restaurants Yard House and Tequila Jacks validate parking) If you have been looking for the right hat for your big head, this is the place! (not that your head is big or anything) read more

The 2016 YELP 500, Review #045: OK if they don't have it, they will have something to get you through. If not, then you are either a guy with all the hats already or really tough to please. Perfect example: I came in swearing up and down I wanted a traditional Ivy without a button atop it. I left with a duckbill Ivy with, yes, the button atop it. It looks amazing with my outfit I am building to go see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. So a word to the wisest hat aficionados... come into this store... seriously. I spent a day shopping Amazon.com for nothing. Noting that the customer service here is beyond description. On the phone or in person you will end up smiling. Thanks to all four of the employees that I interacted with today :-). Now I am off to Del Amo for some black suede wingtips. read more

Village Hat Shop - A must-see experience for the hat lover in you. - Hats Near Me - Long Beach, California

Have walked by the Village Hat Shop many times and never been inside. This time went in with friends. My son has been on the lookout for an "Indiana Jones" style fedora (nostalgia!) and lo and behold the first display had MANY to choose from! After noting out loud a (significant) price difference between the "Indiana Jones" labeled hat and another brown fedora that looked nearly identical, the staff explained to me the differences due to licensing. They were very patient and polite, despite my snarky pricing comment. My son was thrilled as he has been looking and the hats were hard to find. We facetimed so he could see the different bands on the hats and they converted measurements he gave me of his head to hat sizes. Yes, really. He has been wearing it since I got home. Besides this episode, there are many many other hats of all different styles and for all different purposes. My friend got a sun hat for fishing! Thank you! read more

This place has many hats... beautiful hats. Yet at 3:33pm, Tue Sept 13 there was terrible representation present by the young lady you employed. If you understand what I'm saying... I don't want to explain further. She is rude... bad body language and the added NO greeting at all. I just walked out. read more

Amazing selection of hats, with most at reasonable prices. Even if I weren't a hat guy, I'd still be impressed. But two words bump this up to a 5-star establishment: SPAM (®). Hat. http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/XKGsGbq1odX8jvitWwu8tQ/l read more

Been here, done this, not what I was expecting, so no need to do it again. I have a large head--seriously the size of a small waistline (remembering the Oprah special) and wanted to go crazy FINALLY getting a hat that fit. Other Yelpers had stated that this was the place. Not. It has sun hats and winter hats and cowboy hats and baseball caps and funny hats--but no SIZE variety. Gheez! read more

The misses and I were in the Long Beach location yesterday, and as you might imagine, the place was not busy as it is mid-week and due to the lockdown. Anyway, we felt that the two employees working could have been a little more friendly and less like we were bothering them with our very presence. read more

This review is for two times I've been to this store. First time around I went in to find a cute hat for sun protection on my trip to Belize. I was struggling finding a hat and asked for some advice. The staff looked annoyed and just said to look in the corner. I was there 30 min trying on hats looking confused and nobody ever came to me to ask if I need any help. In the end I had to interrupt their own gossiping behind the counter to ask for help. Horrible customer service. Second time, we went in to look for a had for my stepdad. His size was not in stock so they suggested that they call in the size and let it deliver to this store. We were going to be out of town for 10 days for a surgery and the staff said that they will hold it, "no problem they said". 4 days ago (3 days before we fly back to Long Beach) they called and said the hat arrived. I told them we will be back on the 23th and pick it up on the 24th. Today we went to pick it up. And to our amazement they already sold it to another customer because "we only hold it for 3 days". They lost a customer forever to sell one hat. I even told them on the phone we will come pick it up. The staff at this store is ready subpar. They don't care or help you. read more

They've got every style of hat you can think of here, from silly to dapper and from cowboy to pork pie. A variety of sizes for most hats. Prices are, for the most part, quite reasonable. The staff is very helpful and I appreciated that I was asked if I wanted my parking validated because otherwise I would have forgotten. read more

Best hat shop ever!! My husband drove an extra hour to stop by here!! It's our go to hat shop!! Always friendly and they suggest hats that fit your style too!! read more

They had what I wanted and they were very polite. I did notice that the whole of Shoreline Village was a super spreader event (if you go by CDC guidelines). Common sense wise: wear a mask and be aware of your surroundings. read more

Rude and caddy. Making the sale is more important than being straight forward. The manager is the issue. She doesn't care who she affects negatively as long as she makes her number. Sad. Her fake demeanor while working comes across. We get it. Make the sale at any cost, even if it means losing a family of customers. High five to the face with a hat rack. read more

Helpful employees, knowledgeable about the different types of caps. They have a ton of selection. If you want a really nice item to add to your collection, check out their beaver felt hats. read more

I am literally in this store right now and the lady can't even get off her phone to say hello. Even purchasing my hat she didn't even acknowledge us. No customer service what so ever. No wonder there weren't any customers other that is. read more

Anita was a great help! Fast, friendly. Great customer service helping with a hat for sale. Might have to come back for more hats! :)

Great customer service and decent prices for a tourist area. Nice selection of hats of various shapes and sizes. I could have easily spent an hour in there. But the beautiful day was calling to me. So just bought an awesome hat and sunglasses for the hot SoCal sun. The cashier was super accommodating when I realized that I wanted a different hat- after I asked her to cut off the tags of the original one. She remembered I needed to validate my parking too! Will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Yelp 100 Challenge 2016 - Review 20 of 100... I went from hating hats as a kid to currently wearing hats in almost all of my spare time. My mom's side of the family has been told, on many occasions, that we have good hat heads. Ha! This is a cool lil hat spot close to home. They have a pretty good variety of hat styles AND sizes - I ESPECIALLY appreciate the selection of flat caps, aka paperboy caps, they have in multiple materials and at varying price points. Hats can be expensive, especially when you need extended sizes, but I have found nice paperboys here starting in the low $20 range. The lighter, more summery materials (like linen and straw) tend to be less expensive than the heavier, colder-weather fabrics (like wool and suede). I have seen some cute corduroy options in the $30-45 range. There is a small sale section in one corner of the store (that has two entrances) that is okay. Limited selection of my preferred style and necessary size but you may be able to find some gems here at a reduced price. It's a good thing that I started visiting this store after being introduced to the wondrous world of hats and all the magnificent ways they can make and shape your head because the customer service here is very hit or miss. The first several times I'd visited this store, I remember the sales folks being attentive without being overbearing and honest when asked for opinions - everything does not and cannot look good on everyone. The last few times (and especially the most recent) I've visited, the sales associates were just kind of there. There were two who were very closely and rapidly speaking to each other about something obviously not work-related. One finally asked if I needed help after I'd pulled out about seven styles of hats in my size to try - I told her i didn't need help at that time. Later in the visit, I asked her about ordering other sizes which she, seemingly reluctantly, informed me that other sizes can possibly be ordered. I, then, asked her what the material of one particular hat was... she told me what she thought it was after feeling it and looked at me like that should be enough. I ended up looking for my find online (www.villagehatshop.com) before deciding to proceed to purchase it - I had no time to leave my hat-buying decision in her unsure hands. Parking is okay. I prefer to go during the week, if possible, or early on the weekend to avoid Shoreline Village parking fees. If I remember correctly, you get a couple of hours free with validation, but don't quote me on that - I just know I prefer visiting when I have more time to browse hats rather than search for where to park. If you know you'll partake in some of the other retailers, restaurants, and other activities offered in the surrounding beauty of this Long Beach waterfront, you may be okay visiting during high traffic times. When I'm on a hat mission, I want to get in and out so I strategically plan to shop when I know I can run in and out of the pay-for-parking set up here. Sista don't play when it comes to her headwear! read more

Super cool hat store with a wide array of hats for every occasion. Earlier this summer, I needed to buy my hubby a sun hat for our morning walks at the beach. We did some shopping at REI, ACE's, and other stores for hats. None of these stores though had the right hat. Then, one night after having diner at Shoreline Village, we went shopping to The Village Hat Shop and BINGO! We found the right sun hat for my sweets. Yes! The Village Hat Shop is a Mad Hatter's delight. They sell every hat imaginable for both men and women. The selection of sun hats is abundant. They sell hats for every occasion: such as for New Year's Eve, raves, birthday parties and even Halloween . I found some cool Davy Crocket hats, Dr. Seuss hats, and bowler hats. It's really a cool store. The only negative remark I have on this place is that the sale staff is unhelpful and run by young folks who'd rather be texting then being at the store. An emo guy handled our transaction and he never said a word to us, even when I spoke. He was a little too dark for this gig. read more

Now this is a great hat shop, very clean and a lot to choose from. The quality is great but it does carry a quality kind of price too. I bought a Carlos Santana hat.. i love it. Nice place to check out and browse. read more
