Beautiful store and a lot of unique pieces to choose from. The people who worked were really nice and helped us find a wedding gift and we ended up purchasing a gorgeous Annieglass sculpture for our living room. They also had other artisan gifts like ceramics, blown glass vases, and gorgeous jewelry in the store which complimented the glass. They had a seconds room of annieglass and we bought a few votive holders. It may have been a slight bend in it but they were unique and still gorgeous and nice quality, we ended up buying three. (Everything was beautiful)! They were giving a tour of the factory and asked us if we would like to join. We didn't have reservations, but the employees were very welcoming. It was a great experience! We got to walk through the very clean factory, and our tour guide showed us the different stations and we learned a bit about the process of slumped glass and about the artist Annie. We can't wait to come back on our future trips to Monterey and tell our friends. If you live in the area or driving through you don't want to miss visiting Annieglass!

So in love with this cool spot! They sell not only their gorgeous glass pieces, but also showcase other high quality, small batch brands! Lots of great gift options - - handmade jewelry, candles, hand/body creams, baby gifts, greeting cards and more! I am impressed at uniqueness & quality of each item there.I wish now that I asked her name (I was too distracted by my new goodies) - but the lovely woman who assisted us was was also so friendly & helpful.We are excited to take another day trip to Annie Glass soon!

Our women's meet up group enjoyed a wonderful tour in May. Ava was our guide. Her knowledge and passion for the product was very energizing and informative. The group LOVED it and went home with a few irresistible pieces. The team in the shop is welcoming and does a great job packaging all of the glass for easy and safe transport. In addition to the beautiful Annieglass, the gift shop carries lovely jewelry, fun kitchen items and serving utensils. Thanks again for the fun and educational afternoon in our local community.

A delightful roadside attraction. Popped in to see what lovely things were to be seen. Annieglass makes beautiful glasswares which are sold at high-end stores. This place is their outlet and seconds store but you'd never know that because everything they offer is gorgeous. I love glass and it's a treat to see what they're currently making and maybe pick up a little treasure at a good price. Very friendly person tending the store and lots to look at.

This is truly my happy place! I love going to AnnieGlass and finding new treasures that I can't live without. This is one of my favorite gifts to share with friends and family! AnnieGlass is female created, run, and operated. It features the artistry and creative genius of a female artist who hasn't allowed the fame of being featured in the Smithsonian of American Artists go to her head. She is often found in the studio with her daughter, talking with customers, and running the business. I love this store, and I always find things that spark joy when I get there.

I just attended a wonderful Valentine's workshop with Annieglass! (This was also a fundraiser to help with recent storm damage.) Annie herself was the instructor, and helped us decorate our pieces. We all made glass ornament hearts that we embellished with our own touches. Plus, we each had a glass of tea or great local wine. This was followed by a tour of the studio where we really learned to appreciate all the steps that go into each piece she makes. Afterwards, we visited her beautiful store, and made some lovely finds in the "seconds" room. A fascinating afternoon!

It would be hard to miss this warehouse with its location right off 129 next to Martinelli (famous Apple Juice!). AnnieGlass is a fun shopping destination and perfect to bring family and friends. Normally, if it wasn’t Covid, I think this place would be packed with tourist and locals shopping. My mom’s senior center was going to take a tour here from San Jose but they had to cancel, but this place seems suitable for big tours.This is a nice well-lit and tastefully presented gift shop with modern elegant AnnieGlass ware with delicate jewelry from other vendors, gift houseware items for entertaining such a platters, flatware, sculptural platters(Hawaiian palm theme and ocean themed). I believe AnnieGlass is known for her slump glass gold trim platters; it’s elegant and some are sand blasted to have a certain textural effect & color.There’s also a back section of the studio warehouse for half-off, slightly defective items which can be purchased. I will be coming back to bring friends who aren’t familiar with Watsonville and S Santa Cruz County.
