It's basically the gift shop you visit while you wait for your table upstairs at Nepenthe. It's got some cute stuff, if a bit overpriced. But it's a fine place to kill some time.

Always a must stop whilst in Big Sur area. Lovely, eclectic, local artisanal offerings. Never leave empty handed!

A lot of non-trivial gifts and art influence (including its restroom :)
