Was there with my grandchildren yesterday and the woman at the checkstand was very rude. My grandchild wanted to pay for the item with his money and she was very rude to him. I watched her carefully because she took his money and left the checkstand to go to a smaller room and then came back and gave him his change in a weird manner - he asked her a question and she was very rude to him and made a dismissive comment about him to me. The store was not busy, we were the only customers at the time. After we left and got in our car, I saw that the item he purchased was torn (a stuffed toy) at the seam. I decided to fix it myself instead of returning. I see others have experienced rude treatment also. I would not recommend shopping here. I think that you should keep a close eye on how they treat younger customers and whether they give correct change.

We went in after I saw beautiful My Melody and Kuromi plushies in the window. They have really affordable prices and I can't wait to go back once we're in the area again! The plushies are so soft and the prices are great considering they're Sanrio. They also have pokemon, BT21, and other character plushies.

Monterey General Store had a big variety of different things from Monterey souvenirs to about all Pokémon plushies and anime figures. Everything is reasonably priced as well (on the cheaper side, though the quality of the items had exceeded my expectations!), the owner was very welcoming as well. I definitely recommend coming by and supporting this small business!

I was in town and found this store near our hotel. I was pleasantly surprised. The items I purchased weren't overpriced and the two gentlemen working were very friendly and helpful. My daughter's and I found some nice things.

Best gift shop I've went to, let me explain. Everything in this store is now 50% off. This could easily turn into a mini bargain store. May return again soon.

This is our first souvenir stop so the kids can see what General Store for what price!They have the best prices on Mexican blankets and ponchos, kids shark tooth & other jewelry, stuffed animals, ball caps, etc! Monterey General Store is a block off the main street, but worth the short walk! This is The Place to bring your kids for their souvenirs!!!

Much better prices than the stores on cannary row, especially for kid toys, and only a block away from cannary row.

Eh. Reasonable prices but not great quality stuff. Employee was very unfriendly, hardly speaking to us and never looking at us at all. I wouldn't go back probably a good place for people with kids who need cheap souvenirs but other than that not really worth checking out.

If you find yourself in this store be wary of the owner/worker. My family of 5 came in to shop after a day at Cannery Row. My nephew picked a toy that had no price tag on it so I went to look for an employee to ask for the price. Instant attitude! She told me it the price is on the tag and that I didn't look hard enough. I held my tongue and told her there was no price tag. She begrudgingly goes to check the price. She then proceeds to follow us and then notices toys that fell on the floor from earlier in the day and immediately proceeds to accuse us of being horrible parents that didn't watch our kid. She seriously said "if it weren't for bad parents like you things like this wouldn't happen."Excuse me?!?!Not only were we not anywhere near that section, our 10 year old was quietly standing right next to us and never left our sight. We were disgusted by the behavior and put every single thing back. The employee snuck back into the back of the store to hide afterwards.I am always understanding of overworked and stressed out staff and don't take it personally. But honestly, there were no other customers. We were quietly looking and it's not like we were pawing through her things. We only touched and picked up what we intended to buy. This was a situation where I would've found satisfaction in matching her energy but instead we all just walked out.If you had any intention to support a local shop, there's plenty of others off Cannery Row to spend your hard earned money. Save yourself the undeserved mistreatment.

Got these glasses for 7 bucks, very nice. Sister got a bunch of hello kitty merch. Was cool they also had bt21 stuff. Very cool. Very cool. I need more words to write my review. But I don't have much else to say, this store had so many cool things and had great prices. Friend got a backpack for 20 bucks.
