I'm a houseplant collector so I've had this store on my to-go list for quite some time and finally had the chance to visit. While the store is quite charming and seems to carry unique products I was only spoken to by the person in charge AFTER purchasing. Mind you, I was in the store for quite some time and saw other customers being greeted. I guess I didn't look like someone who was gonna buy anything (?) I walked out of that store feeling rather discouraged to go back and I am not surprised to see other reviews pointing out poor customer service.

The actual main Hive store seems very nice, it's stocked with nice things and owner seems very pleasant on our rare visit there, but on a recent visit to the Central Coast my husband Tom and I went to the Hive Annex so that he could get a T Shirt. He found an attractive T Shirt, but we were shocked and horrified at how nasty, rude, and totally inappropriate the owner or the manager of the Hive Annex was. She was insulting and rude, and extremely unpleasant , we were both horrified. We would strongly suggest that ( a) she should be fired immediately, and that ( b) that everyone avoids the Hive annex, as that awful, vile manager obviously never heard that customers should be treated politely, and that they're always right, not the bitch who's the manager, stores need customers, and by being rude and unpleasant that's a great way permanently loose customers, Tom and I will never go back to the Hive Annex, if he wants a T shirt he'll get elsewhere.

If you need a special gift check for that special someone, check this place out! Well even if you don't need a special gift... please check this place out. The owner and her staff are so kind and it's just the coolest little shop. I enjoy popping in often for their local food items, candles, chapstick and to see how the owner curated néw merchandise. Quite a unique boutique with something for just about everyone.

I, my sister-in-law, two nephews (6 & 4), and friend wandered into this store during our Saturday afternoon shopping day. As I was shopping in the store, with a handful of merchandise, I heard a woman telling, "Get out. This is my store." I looked over and saw a woman telling my nephews and friend to leave the store. Apparently, the store owner did not like the fact that my friend was eating kettle corn in the store, and handing some off to my nephews. My nephews were so so hurt. They kept saying, "Why did she kick us out?" I live in San Francisco. I've shopped in the best establishments. I have NEVER experienced that kind of treatment...and with children!!!! They simply could jot understand. We spent the afternoon explaining to them that "the lady" must be very unhappy and very strict, and that she doesn't understand how to be kind to people. I am sure the boys will never for get that experience. I assure you all, it was as simple a transgression as eating popcorn in the store. I'll even give "the lady" the benefit of the doubt by saying the boys were "running around the store." They were not. It was absolutely the WORST treatment I have ever witnessed. There is NOTHING in that store that precious or valuable that warrants traumatizing two young boys. I am hoping that the fact that we are Mexican American had nothing to do with it. Again, I'll give "the lady" the benefit of the doubt.

Purchased my first pair of Blundstone boots. Had the best customer service - was not rushed and truly felt heard. She explained the feeling that I should have in my boot and had me try on multiple pairs until I found the perfect ones. These boots are my favorite and I wear them everyday in all different terrain - walking around town, work, hiking, road tripping) they can do it all. Support your local businesses! You won't be disappointed! They also have THE BEST candle selection

My favorite shop in the Village! And they just moved to a way bigger location across the street. They have so many brands you can't get around here like Blundstone, Redwing, Dickies, Mibos, Topo Designs and Brixton. And I love all the local goods they carry, feels good to shop somewhere that supports the community

My best friend and I took a stroll down old town arroyo grande and found this cute shop. It has its own vibe and energy. We both bought lotions in different scents. I chose the dream scent, which has roses in it. The employee that helped us let us try a few of the different scents. Later in the day I kept smelling the nectar scent and so I had to go back to get it. I also grabbed a bottle of the calm the f*ck down theramist which the employee recommended. It smells so good and does help you chill out. It really works! Great store for lotions, and tons of other great products. Perfect place to buy for yourself or pick up a gift!

Annoyed because the owner was to "busy" to greet me when I walked in. I then asked for help she sent another employee who seemed annoyed with me.

Love all the boutique shops in downtown AG. Went into the hive and wanted to make a gift basket of local products. It was busy yet there were 3 people behind the counter. The owner ( I see from the website) was complaining to a friend how busy it has been ( poor you). And ignored the long line. I grabbed some items stood in line and asked about a cocktail mix while paying to add to my purchase and was told I would need to wait in line again. Oh get over yourself! I went next door to darling Briscos and a wonderful women showed me some great products and gift wrapped them for me. My advice skip the pretentious Hive and go next door to Briscos.
