Wow! I used to shop at this store for years when I moved into the area. I moved to Encinitas and decided to take a stroll around state street. I walked inside and a salesperson walked right by me and no greeting. Right behind a couple walked in and they were immediately greeted. I'm Mexican dressed in yoga clothes and the couple were Caucasian. Another salesperson started up chatting with them and they left. She just watched me as I walked around the store and not once said anything to me. I'm shocked that I was racially profiled. I will not go to this store and will tell ALL my neighbors and friends to not frequent this location. Very disappointing. I own a business and every customer is golden...sadly these ladies/business does not have the same mindset.

A great store that meets every need from fabulous, high quality clothing, beautiful jewelry, all the way to home necessities. They have amazing, friendly, helpful staff that are ready to help guide you to exactly what you're looking for! The owner, Michelle, is the best too! We love Aranelle!

The woman working the front counter was incredibly rude and disrespectful. Was very aggressive towards myself and my brother, as well as accusatory. She implied that the two of us were stealing, when we were looking at gifts for my girlfriend. Would not recommend shopping here.

Best clothing boutique in Carlsbad hands-down. The staff is always friendly and very helpful. My dog loves going there too. Always treats for her.

While at the Wednesday Farmer's Mkt. I stopped in ARNELLE'S for the lst time. I liked many of their things & purchased 2 Sunglasses not knowing they were for reading. ( I exchanged them for a Brighton Erring Box. ) I love Gift Shops & frequent them often, however, was not 'impressed' with either Sales Clerks attitudes (or) their lack of people Skills. They acted like they were doing me a favor waiting on me... were uncommunicative... & looked very bored. I won't be coming back... I know a lot of ladies in Carlsbad I could have referred to this Boutique. It wasn't a pleasant shopping experience & had they been friendlier I was prepared to spend more on Brighton Jewelry & other items they offered. They don't 'appreciate' thier customers... Shame.

Such a wonderful and eclectic boutique. I found the perfect gift for a friend thanks to Michelle's (the owner) help. The staff are always wonderful and helpful and the finds there are fantastic. If you are looking for a place with great clothing, shoes, and accessories, this is the go-to place!

Aranelle is our favorite place to shop every summer when we visit Carlsbad. They always have beautiful and unique clothing and jewelry. My only wish is that they would open a Phoenix store.

. I love this store they have so many unique items, clothing, shoes & gifts. Can't wait to see the new items each time I come to town.....I bought several items including the coffee towels for gifts. The first few days I was here I had a hard time making it in to the store before they closed.....Before Covid they used to close at 6 but now it must be 5pm. Anyway I made it in and I love all the new items. This is my second year of coming to Carlsbad for an Extended stay during the summer & while I'm here I make a point of shopping small & local. Face mask are required, hand sanitizer is located at the front door for your use.....They are Cleaning between customers...... The staff is always supreme! Very helpful & have great suggestions.....They always ask if you need anything wrapped. Absolutely doing everything they can to make you feel comfortable during this crazy time.

Great place for women's clothing, gorgeous jewelry, and unique special items. It is a cozy shop with friendly staff. Vicki and Betsy were just charming. I bought a small item for my granddaughter and it was wrapped so nicely with a pink bow!! So glad I stopped in yesterday - it was a wonderful experience.
