“Can’t believe I found this place only recently after living in the Bay Area for a long time. It’s easy to miss because you are either busy driving down route 1, or, after a long curvy road and just can’t wait to hit the beach. This place is a great place to drop by - for a nice drink or bites (the best breakfast braid made by la Honda bakery, available only on Saturday and Sunday), or books from local authors, or even children’s book. They have amazing live band sessions too, it’s just a great place to hang out.”

“The staff members are friendly and knowledgeable with great problem solving skills, especially Loren!! I was looking for a replacement for one worn screw. A young staff first helped to identify the thread and size of the old screw, but was not able to find the exact matching screw in the store. He wrote down the information for me and suggested I try search online. On my way out, Loren saw me and asked me if I got help that I needed. After I told him that it appeared the store didn't carry the exact type of screw that I was looking for, he offered to take another look. He patiently asked me what and where the old screw was used, listened to me explaining. He then identified a screw that may work, although not identical to the old one. He told me that if it doesn't work, I can go to another store that may carry more national brand screws, and if I still could not find the matching one, I then could back to ACE and he could make a customized cut screw. I bought the one (only cost $0.49!) suggested by Loren that may work, and I went home and it worked and solved the problem!”

“Wow this place has like everything you need at a hardware store. Half of the stuff is ancient but all assortments of bolts and screws, etc. But I actually came for the bagels. The salmon bagel was definitely the best but twice the price of the bacon egg bagel, but for good reason! Still comes out cheaper than most places and it's all handmade and warm. We walked a mile from our hotel in the wind for this, mainly to get some exercise and fresh air but so worth it. Ate it back at our hotel.”

“Needed a sheet of plastic to protect some things in our kitchen. The cashier/manager was really helpful in getting me to understand our options and I am confident that we got the right thing for our application. the sheet was cut very professionally and will look good. And the prices were very reasonable.”

“Got help from an expert to find specific bolt and coupling in the last few minutes before closing.i’m so glad that the owners of the new OSH saw that the store had been an overall success, that it was worth restarting. OSH has things I can’t find anywhere else.And they seem to keep inventory up instead of running out like the bigger guys.Stores are always pretty much spotless.Getting in and out is much more convenient than the bigger guys.I prefer OSH over other hardware stores, mostly because the OSH stores are more uniform. You know what you’re gonna get.(My guess is that the former OSH’s upper management grew too large unnecessarily; too many top hats getting lots of raises - “because golfing at all the top courses plus lessons is getting so darned expensive!”, maybe.They likely didn’t know how to roll with the punches, tighten the belt, jettison the dead weight, survive at all costs. They killed the cash cow and her spoils.I wonder what they think about what they’re seeing now.)The new OSH is definitely panning out to be everything we missed about the old OSH.I noticed the inventory is increasing. It makes sense that it would take a while to get all the product back on the shelves like it had been before.”

“If you have no other reason to go- this *feels* like a hardware store. I know when I say this I am speaking to a very specific subset of people. However, when I was a kid, my dad would take me with him to the hardware store, and I would get a lollypop while he and whomever from behind the counter would wander around looking for an eyebolt or the right shade of caulk. Giulio- who I assume is the owner, is easily 10 years older than my mom, who lives in the assisted living up the street. My mom can't be bothered to go to the chair yoga we're paying for, but Giulio went to work. He's not totally mobile, but he knows his s#!t. Whenever I come in, he or whoever else is behind the counter is happy to chat through my issue and suggest something. It's not a Home Depot- so they may not have what you're looking for every time- but they have a lot of things, and it makes me happy to know my money is staying local. Also, side story: One day during the summer, it's like 90, and I am behind a contractor who's getting a bunch of stuff - lumber, rocks...I don't know- but he's paying for it, and he grabs some water bottles for him and his crew and puts them on the counter. Giulio totals him up and says a number; the guy says, "Oh, don't forget these waters". Giulio says, "The town where I come from in Italy has the best water in the world, and it flows right off the mountain. If my father knew I was charging people for water, he'd come back from the dead and strike me down. Those are free." C'mon. How can you not go here first?”

“Best customer service ever! Tom and Jorge helped me look for the screws to my front plate and went out of their way to put them in. They were super friendly and came to the rescue when I was super lost. Highly recommend this location!”

“Need plumbing supplies ? This is the place for you! After meeting May, we didn't have to go anywhere else ! May is efficient and so helpful with all of the decisions that we had to make for our remodel.”

“Good for quick stop for household needs. They have everything that a hardware store should carry. I stopped by to buy some sand paper to refurbish a lovely wooden table. Finding the right one was bit of a hassle but the store attendants were helpful enough.”
