445 Reservation Rd X, Marina“I’ve been dealing with some muscle spasms/numbness with my legs and I put on my Soxbox socks for compression and it gave me such relief!
I wore them to bed and I was able to sleep through the night without waking up from discomfort.
I gave my legs a break a bit from wearing them but they instantly feel better wearing my Soxbox socks!!! ????
I’m wearing my 2 Legit 2 Quit at the moment for that extra Affirmation of Strength!!??
They’re not just for Training!??????

“Decided to pop in based on the glowing reviews and so glad we did. Putting this on my list of stops next time we visit Monterey. Nice selection and friendly staff!”
“This is a most delightful little art and gifts gallery! It is clean and bright... a fresh little sanctuary. I wish I had more blank walls for more of the uplifting, colorful, and joyful art! (If you need original art, try here first!) But I was able to get plenty of cards & gifts to share with loved ones. The artist/owner is delightful and welcoming; no sales pressure. I will stop in whenever in town just to enjoy the newest pieces on display & restock my cards!”

198 Country Club Gate, Pacific Grove“This thrift shop knocks it out of the park for a thrift store if your looking for quality thrift merchandise only downfall little bit of a higher price range for thrift stores but goes to a good cause . Catch there half off sales twice a year ! Customer service, and there help is wonderful and take care of your needs”
“I loved this little gem! The staff are very welcoming, friendly, and respectful. They have a nice selection of beautiful clothing and jewelry. I found an adorable raincoat from a Danish designer and a beautiful pair of earrings from Israel. This is going on my must-visit list.”

Ocean Ave, Carmel-By-The-Sea“This boutique has the most beautiful unique pieces one can find. My husband treated me to a beautiful coat from Augustina's several years ago. A year later find another beautiful blue coat that my kids treated me to for Mother's Day 2022. Tracy allowed me to put on layaway and worked really well with me on the layaway. I moved out of state and wasn't able to pick up the coat until Christmas 2023. This made for a wonderful Christmas. Tracy also got my husband a matching fur collar for his coat, which he gets lots of compliments for. Thanks Tracy, you're the best!”
“This is a beautiful store for men and women. They have impeccable customer service. You will this store at Carmel Plaza closest to Bottega Veneta. We will definitely be back. FYI Carmel Plaza has a parking garage if you can’t find street side parking.”
“Oh my - this shop is crazy cat lady approved! I love the selection of funky sweaters with modern cat prints/designs. Of course that is just a small portion of what this cute shop carries. I also purchased one of the softest, most comfy light grey and white sweaters ever. Fun selection of jeans, tops, jewelry and accessories. There is even a small sale rack in the back with great deals if they happen to be in your size. Service has always been helpful and friendly. I will return over and over again. These small boutiques in PG are so much better than going to the mall. Love supporting my small local businesses!”

261 Alvarado St, Monterey“This is just the cutest store. I walked in and the ladies who work there were so nice. I found a few magnets and bags that I really liked. It seemed like everything was handpicked. The perfect store for getting gifts for the family!
I found out that this store is family owned and I think it’s really important to support small businesses. Thanks for the great customer service!”

800 lighthouse ave c, Monterey“The owner is super nice and she has a great eye for both women’s and men’s fashion! Went with my friend and her husband and we all ended up making purchases. Not only does she have a good eye for trends but she also sells some high quality items.”
“This was my first time ever shopping at Johnny Was store. What a fun and colorful atmosphere! Such a friendly staff especially Sheri. She was very welcoming which made our shopping experience superb!I look forward in going back and adding a beautiful dress to my wardrobe collection!”
10AM - 5PM
Carmel-By-The-Sea“One of my favorite shops in Carmel! We always stop by here when visiting. They have a plethora of cute nicknacks, hosting ware, kid stuff, and even some clothes. I'm usually drawn to the hosting items and charcuterie accompaniments, but have left here with a hat and a puzzle among other small items. While most of the items are on the pricier side, we can often find some cool stuff that isn't too expensive. Aside from the cute and fun items they sell, they also have free coffee and fresh baked cookies on their back patio. It's such a quaint and relaxing spot to stop and sip and snack before you continue your shopping. The employees working are always very friendly!”
“Can't recommend this little boutique enough! Had a wonderful time and found a beautiful formal dress. Unique quality apparel with friendly honest customer service. I wish this store was in my home town. Thank You ladies, I'll definitely stop by when I'm back in town! Aloha”
“This shop was one of the few places that really attracted my attention when it came to interesting merchandise. I just love browsing a store that has a lot of variety with an international flare. A variety of eye catching clothing in lovely styles and colors. Spending time to explore is a must! You'll find singing bowls, drums, jewelry, cultural nick knacks, decorative items for the home, wind chimes, statuary, art work, rocks & crystals. The whole shop is filled with items from top to bottom. I would have loved to make several purchases, but the only downside for me, was that everything was too pricey! I'm a tourist on a budget, and I know that I can get many of these items much cheaper back home!”
9AM - 9:30PM
750 Cannery Row, Monterey“Best selection/quality of t-shirts/caps/hoodies/etc we found (and boy did we check them all) in Monterey. Decently priced but importantly good quality, not the generic stuff that a few of the other shops had.”
“The customer service at this store is amazing. I came in last week needing a phone for a personal emergency and the staff was so kind. They are truly wonderful and I'll never forget their kindness <3!!”
“This store is beautiful and the ladies who work here are soooo nice! I didn't end up buying anything, but they were so lovely to chat with and you can tell they really love meeting tourists and just getting to know customers!”
“The staff and service is absolutely amazing, they are always friendly and helpful. The shoes are amazing, vans are always my go-to, I've never been to this location and struggled to find my size. The shoes are pricey but with all the sales they offer and how long the shoes last it is worth it to me. I've been to a few locations and this one is definitely my favorite”
“Great atmosphere and even better prices! Walked in just to look around while we waited for food and left with a full bag of items! Overall had a savings of over $30, even their online prices match in store. As an added bonus we got an extra $15 off our next shopping trip!”
“Extremely well organized with a spacious and intuitive layout! Also the prices are insanely reasonable for very high end clothing/appliances, etc. The staff needs some free cookies, coffees, and compliments though! Keep up the hard work.”
