“The Goddess Mercado Bazaar is a beautiful collective of women—rooted in Indigenous wisdom and artisan traditions—bringing a truly unique and soulful experience to the heart of Montebello. This is more than a marketplace; it’s a living community. You can step into a women’s circle, learn to sew with intention, explore candle-making workshops, or wander through pop-up art walks that celebrate creativity and culture.
The space also offers sound baths, a thoughtfully curated bookstore, poetry readings featuring a variety of authors, and an inspiring gallery showcasing local artists with new installations every month. Even their lottery nights feel intentional and community-centered. Every visit feels nourishing, creative, and deeply connected—an authentic space where art, healing, and culture meet.”

“What a hidden gem! Went in for a perfume and was so surprised by how big the shop was from the inside.
I had a very rough idea for the scent that I like although I’m sure I left with an elevated taste for perfume! Thanks to Daniel & Alfredo who are so helpful & patient.
They carry a wide selection of fragrances, priced for different budgets, natural or extravagant scents - they have it all! I couldn’t help but take two ?
You can literally find a NICE gift for everyone in the family at this boutique. From your boujee mama, to your punk rock teenager. It’s a one stop shop. Check em out! ?”
“Went in today to pick up an online order. We had got some merch of one of our fave movies Beetlejuice. While looking around we were greeted by Alyssa. Omgsh she's the sweetest person I've met at this location. She is so helpful and answered all my questions. Alyssa really had a great personality and made our night. I really want to take a moment to say Thank you for just being you. ?
Oh and this boxlunch is great. Always stocked and neat. I love this store but my wallet doesn't lol”
“I had such a great experience at BoxLunch thanks to Michael! He was super friendly, helpful, and made sure I found exactly what I was looking for. You can really tell he cares about the customers and loves what he does. He made shopping fun and stress-free. Thanks for the amazing service.”
“The store is astonishing, with something new to discover around each corner. The art and crafting are exquisite (and surprisingly affordable), and Erica impressed me with her knowledge, generosity and deep understanding (and explanation) of the spiritual roots of the pieces on display. Thank you so much for giving your time and patience to a poor, adrift Kiwi, and for sharing the treasures of your home with me. No puedo esperar para visitar la ciudad de mexico ahora. Mauruuru koe mo nga mea katoa, e hoa.”
“Ordered an arrangement on valentines day morning to be delivered (yeah I'm that guy). Wound up driving to pick up order around 6PM since I was worried it wasn't going to get delivered. Staff was very kind and helpful in spite of the craziness. Quickly found my order under a valentines day avalanche of flowers and fancy fruits and sent me on my way. Wife and daughter loved it.”
“When I shop for gifts outside of my neighborhood (East Hollywood), Retreat is my go-to. Diane, the owner, has curated a wonderful collection of jewelry, art prints, cards and fun gifts for virtually any occasion. Despite this shop's relatively small size, it is packed with goodies. My go-to is always the card section, where I invariably find a card for an upcoming birthday or, even better, the perfect card for a friend who could use a pick-me-up or a good laugh. My stationary drawer is packed with Retreat cards that I've got on the ready and I am very grateful. There is a great range of options in terms of price. You can find very fun patches and charms for around ten dollars. If you are looking a bit higher-end, there is a lovely collection of jewelry: but you are definitely paying for quality work that will be appreciated. Diane and the various employees are invariably friendly and eager to help you find something perfect for your friend or family.”
“Usually I order online but today I ventured out to visit the store and was welcomed by a nice employee, David!!! He was so personable and helpful he made my experience shopping so worthwhile!!!”
“MARZ gifts never disappoints! When I am in need of unique, fun (funny) and thoughtful gifts, I always find what I need @ MARZ. I highly recommend it when shopping for something unique.”
“Such a cute fun store--a real gem in the city of Monrovia! I always find something new every time I come in here. I often need a gift and this is the first place I come. So many beautiful pieces of jewelry, wonderful candles, great table decor. I can always find what I need at Charlie's house. Kristin is kind and thoughtful and will help you find the perfect gift. You can find special gifts here that you can't find anywhere else and the prices are great!”
“In extraordinary place run by extraordinary people. Every element there are created by artists who care about their craft and their culture. If you want to jazz up a room in your house with one piece or several this is the place to come to.”

“David Orgell is synonymous with the early days of Beverly Hills - the golden age of the 1950s. Mr. Orgell himself was British and had a penchant for the finer things. When he passed in 1987 the company was sold. The Soltani family took the torch and ran with it, carrying forward the tradition of luxury, creating one of our absolute favorite boutiques of all time. It is a treasure trove of delightful gifts - relics of great beauty, exquisite detail, everything you would hope for.The store is now in the fabulous community of San Marino, and we can honestly say no matter where you live in the LA area, it is well worth your drive. Excellence, quality, beauty - these are the things that come to mind when we think of Orgell. And all those years, over a decade, of our kids growing up in front of the store on Two Rodeo. So many memories, and as someone said, the Best is Yet to Come! Long live the legendary Orgell!!”
“What a gem of a shop! You’d be remiss if you don’t stop in. Beautifully curated items that are obviously chosen with intention. They have Le Bon Shoppe socks that I love! And a great selection of greeting cards. This is my go-to store for matcha whisks that are high quality and don’t break the bank. They have lovely natural fragrances and tons of kitchenware, such as plates and utensils. Gorgeous shop. Definitely check it out. Sweet owner too! She so kindly wrapped my gift without me even having to ask! I’m always delighted at what I see when I walk in. It also smells really good in there!!”

“A one of a kind modern day curio shop and my favorite stop in Pasadena. From wax seals to taxidermy there is an endless supply of unusual bespoke objects. The owners of the Gold Bug are as curious and delightful as the object they sell and always make for splendid conversation. Keep an eye open for special events hosted in the store!”
“I am not a bar soap person so I will leave those reviews to those that are. I am however a user of shower and skin products and I really like those I have bought from The Soap Kitchen. i have used the Shower Steamers. Both the Lavender for relaxing and Breathe for helping with, yes, breathing (maybe you have a head cold). to other items like Rose Hip Seed oil for your skin and So Fresh, So Clean which removes makeup and helps your skin feel great. Even the candles are nice. I highly recommend them. Give them a try. I'm sure you will like them.”

“My friend & I had such a fun time exploring the store the other day! There was so much to look at! We wanted to buy everything! It definitely is the place to go if you need to buy a gift for someone, if you need new plants, or if you want unique decor for your home! I can't wait to go back! P.S. The customer service was fabulous! Everyone was so helpful & kind! ??”
“Salutations Home is a metaphor for old Pasadena. It is cozily tucked away on a side street off Lake Avenue, (across from the old Chronicle Restaurant if you go way back). Similar to The city of Pasadena in relationship to L. A., in need not be boastful of it's subdued elegance. It's very YKIYK. And like Pasadena, there's something for every budget and age range. The decor is thoughtfully curated as one could imagine visiting an eccentric aunt that has spent a life collecting items that delight the senses, be it sight, scent, taste or touch. It's a tactile experience picking up items for closer inspection, the jewelry, linens, and candles entice customers to indulge. If that wasn't enough of a motivator, the complimentary signature gift wrap makes every purchase special. And it's bow wow friendly, I noticed a few well behaved cherished canines in tow during my shopping experience.”
“A beautiful store with dedicated, precise shop keepers who can help you find a gift for anyone among the treasures that include an espresso cup over $200. As cosmopolitan as the Riviera and a gift to Los Angeles.”
“Cute store packed full of so many sanrio items! They had figurines, clothing, backpacks, mirrors, plushies, sock, blind boxes, keychains and so much more! I was surprised to see a lot of rarer sanrio characters that are less popular sold at this store, like chococat, hangyodon, and my sweet piano! The staff were also very friendly and helpful. I was also really happy to see that they had blind boxes that had already been opened, as I personally like to know what I am getting.”
