    Sterling silver backed rose earrings.
    Shay S.

    I came up to Arcata on a camping trip and decided I needed a souvenir before I left. Zen is the perfect place for such things. It's located close to everything. I love the huge selection of items, from the rainbow unicorn mug to the unique jewelry and the books on mindfulness, there's something for everyone here. Out of all the lovely things I chose a pair of earrings. I'm delighted with my purchase and next time I find myself in Arcata I'll be coming back to Zen.

    Cool metal sign from Zen now hanging above my bed.

    As soon as you walk through the door you understand why it's called Zen. Beautiful unique gifts and the owner is a sweetheart:)

    She helped me pick out some gifts for family and wrapped the gifts beautifully (see photo of baby gift).

    What a GREAT place to make a pit stop…read more Quality/Quantity - Tourists stop. Great place to get souvenirs for friends and family. Many locally made gifts. And of course, many Bigfoot gifts. Lots of wood carved items and photo opportunities with Bigfoot. Atmosphere - Huge cool place, especially if you are into Bigfoot, Sasquatch. Last year, they did a good job with marketing; added flags, more merchandise outdoors to entice drivers to stop by. Parking on the side of the road, yet still safe; less safe parking across the road. Clean bathrooms (outhouses), hand sink, soap, and paper towels. Open 7 days a week. Service - Everyone was friendly. Price - Tourist prices. Owner Suggestion - Congrats to the Carlson family for 41+ years and all your success and your new marketing. :) Can I suggest a website?

    Stopped in to buy some items on our way through. The shop and product selection is pretty…read moreimpressive. I wish I could say the same for the customer service which was horrible. Most of the employees were helpful and in good spirit. There was however one employee who cussed at me and threatened me in front of my family and others customers over a misunderstanding. Foul language and aggressive behavior is not ok and that is something that I will not tolerate. I asked to speak to the manager but was told he was on vacation and that he was not going to be of any help on assisting me with this matter. I asked why and I was told by a second employee that this behavior is viewed as acceptable by the manager. I am choosing to write a review so that everyone knows what could happen if you are planning on stopping by. I will never return and I will advise others in the area not to do so as well.
