3803 Ray St, San Diego“Cute shop with gifts, books, clothes, and household goods. The store is colorful and fun. I purchased a Horchata scented candle and a “La Jefa” water bottle sticker for my daughter. They have a beautiful mural out front that is great for pictures.”
“This place is amazing! The ladies there were so sweet and welcoming and excited to see us. They have an amazing selection of gifts and trinkets. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area. And yes, they have Sonny Angels. :)”
“Love Cave of Wonders! Everyone that works there is so knowledgeable and they always have best gift ideas. There's literally something for everyone in there. Highly recommend!”
“I don't usually do reviews of this type of places but I think it's worth it.We arrived at this place after having breakfast in Little Italy and the atmosphere is perfect, in fact the music and the smell of freshly burnt incense is phenomenal.We bought a ring and some incense that we had been looking for in several places without luck.The variety of artifacts and stones is very good and abundant.The person who assisted us, a bearded guy whose name I forgot to take, was super courteous and friendly!!We'll definitely come back!!”
“I love OB Gift Shop. I take friends and family here whenever they're in town so they can get all the SD stuff they need and ideally represent OB too! What you may not know - they always have unique finds. A killer assortment of knicknacks, magnets, bottle openers, stone/gem crafts, and much more, as well as tshirts, sweats, hats, shorts, sunblock, boogie boards etc. But this time my mom wanted a tshirt with a minimal SD logo on the top left, and nothing in stock quite fit that description. So they offered to just make one for her on the spot!! She chose her favorite color and tshirt size, and they put her preferred logo on there. It took 2 minutes! Unbelievable. I had to write a review for that level of above and beyond service. No one at CVS or target is going to hook you up with a custom tshirt. This is the spot.Support local business! Especially this OB gem. You won't regret it.”
“My son and I is very Thankful to find Kam Fung Gift Shop. Simon is very kind and knowledgeable. We wanted to get a lucky cat, and Simon found me a really big one. I was so happy!!! We also bought more lucky items. He gave my son a sword as a gift and my son loves it very much. Thank You Thank You Thank You!”
“WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!! Everyone there was so kind and helpful. I was given a discount for being a first time customer and buying lots of beads which is so kind! I was also given a pastry while walking around and every question I asked was answered. I will for sure be coming back! Thank you!”
“If you're visiting Barrio Logan and you don't stop at Casa XoVi you're missing out. I'm down in the area a few times a year and I NEVER MISS IT.The owner is fabulous. Such a wonderful woman and authentic. She cares and will help you get just what you need and what you didn't even realize you needed. Perfect spot for gifts also. The home made delicacies.... I stock up when I'm there.Try it all. You will thank me!I confess that I love the area but a lot of the shops are all selling identical things now and that is why I love Casa XoVi it is still unique.Art, Yummies, decor, gifts, and some of the classic items. Take a basket and let her fill it up and you will have a gift no one will forget.Go early for the best parking. I suggest comfy shoes and park a little ways off as it is more fun walking than fighting for parking. If you're close enough UBER.I feel this ship is a cultural explosion of quality and beautiful products. That with the warm and welcoming environment is pure love. ENJOY..I can't wait to return ?♥️”
“I saw the prices in the store window and I thought no way, everything was actually reasonably priced I got a san Diego shirt for only $8 instead of $20 and when I asked the kind lady up front she told me theyed been there for over 30 years and the owner refused to steal from tourists with crazy prices, I've never been so happy to buy a souvenir!”
“Such a rad little store that supports local artists. The people working there were super friendly. Great spot to browse and pick up some gifts for yourself/friends. Will be back for sure!”
“Wonderful experience every time. Everything is SO cute, I could get lost in this shop for hours! I bought a couple of my favorite outfits from their selection AND they have the prettiest jewelry and the best smelling candles! Great place for gifts and cards and plants and puzzles hurrah! Also the staff is really cool and make me feel like we’re old friends :)”
“I had lunch in Old Town and came across Old Town Jerky and Root Beer. I had to go inside as I love root beer. Inside was a huge selection of root beer and other drinks in glass bottles. Reminds me of when I was a kid and most drinks were in glass bottles and you could return them for a dime. Most of the drinks were $4 each. Surf City Root Beer had a good amount of sweetness and carbonation. I liked the vanilla and sassafras flavor. There is a bite a little like Barq's. Very good tasting root beer. River City Root Beer had lots of bubbles and sweet licorice flavor. Very good. Oak Creek Blonde Barrel Aged Root Beer was the first root beer I've come across that looks like a cream soda. Flavors include caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, and clove. Love the combination of flavors. This is my favorite root beer here. Boulder Birch Beer was sweet with a mix of vanilla and wintergreen flavor. One of my favorite birch beers. If you are a soda lover and prefer your drink in a glass bottle Old Town Jerky and Root Beer is an awesome place to get a drink.”

“What a great boutique store (San Diego location) with friendly and attentive service. And, they sell Hammitt purses which I have been looking for everywhere. Steph helped me make the very difficult decisions on picking from the large variety of Hammitt purses and beautiful, original jewelry from around the world. I ended up going back later in the day to buy a second purse from Beau, the owner, who was also very friendly and helpful. The store also has custom art pieces great for decorating your home, clothing, fun gift items, and much more. I don't live in the area, but I will be sure to stop by in all my future visits to San Diego.”
“It's always a great place to visit. Unique gifts and treasures. I visit this store every time I visit my daughter. I love seashore jewelry but have so much that I couldn't find anything I didn't already have. There is something for everyone who enjoys unique handmade items.”

2171 Pan American Plaza, San Diego“The gift shop wasn’t anything spectacular but the International Cottages are a must-see while you’re in SD! Open on Saturdays and Sundays, definitely put this on your ‘to do’ list!”
“We popped in this store because of all the amazing wind chimes and shells displayed outside. Lots of gifts from Ocean Beach, but what I loved most was that a large majority of them were made of shells and seaglass.
I chose a starfish ornament to take home and when I checked out, the cashier told me that all the starfish in that style were hand painted by someone in-store and that was pretty cool.
We then bonded over Columbo and when we left. He was sure to tell us there was 'just one more thing...'
Cool shop, kind people. Highly recommend!”
“Found a couple great items here - for me and my daughter. The associate there could benefit from checking her catty judgement of customers.
Response to the owner: I don't see a way to reply to your response so I'm updating my post. It was either late morning or in the afternoon. I don't have my receipt anymore, but the date was 8/23 and the cc reference # is 6161.”
“Great customer service, Sonja is out to please the shopper, and really good deals right now. There's a lot to be said about a great night's sleep! You CAN sleep bedder!”
