“Marcus was extremely helpful, communicative, and knowledgeable. He was able to recognize what was wrong with our ring, and to also recommend an accurate size for resizing, would definitely come here again for any other jewelry needs.”
“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.”

“Stop by for stocking stuffers and unique presents they've got a lot to choose from! Ranging from niche books, aesthetic composition notebooks to trinkets. A personal favorite were these sassy air fresheners and silly toothpicks. I guarantee you'll find something for everyone even if it's a small item. In the area there's lots to enjoy like vintage diners, shopping centers, and eateries.”
“Really great place! Very friendly and communicative. They’ve been there for decades and the shop has a really charming vibe. Will continue to use them when I can!”
“I had the pleasure of hosting my daughter's birthday party at this venue, and it was truly an exceptional experience. Kelly, our host, demonstrated outstanding engagement with all the children, ensuring that each child had a thoroughly enjoyable time. The birthday party was expertly organized, featuring an engaging scavenger hunt with thoughtfully crafted clues for the kids to follow, complemented by a creative necklace-making activity. The entire event was a resounding success, and I extend my heartfelt kudos to this establishment for creating such a fun and enchanting environment. The attention to detail, coupled with the commitment to providing a memorable experience, truly sets this place apart. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to host a delightful and well-planned celebration.”
