Natalie Henderson I LOVE this place! I make my sister go to breakfast here every time I come to visit her. The quiche is phenomenal! The turkey pesto is phenomenal! The dark chocolate sea salt caramel flat is to die for. The iced dirty Chai is amazing as well. I have always had such wonderful customer service each time I have visited and I look forward to going each time I visit. If I could rate this place 6 stars I would.

Sarong Voeung I had my ears pierced by the store supervisor and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. They were professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. The area was clean and sanitized and they took the time to explain each step so I knew exactly what to expect. The piercing itself was quick, precise, and nearly painless. What I really appreciated was how friendly and patient they were. They answered all my questions about aftercare and made sure I felt confident before leaving. I can tell they genuinely care about their customers. I will definitely recommend them to anyone considering a piercing.

Bruce Burtch The selection of pre-owned, very high-quality watches was outstanding. I purchased an almost new Cartier tank watch that I have wanted for many years, for a very fair price. But best of all was the warm welcome and great service I received. I will look for my next watch at Mark Areias Jewlers.

Amanda Almond This place always does excellent work for great prices! Had my center stone replaced on my wedding ring for different size AND shape which required definite re due of the top of the band and it looks amazing!! Thanks Kris and George once again for great service

catherine adams Best clothes shopping experience in my life. I’m a tourist from Iowa. Discovered this boutique in April. Met Nancy and Peter. They are so kind and give you a personal, tailored shopping experience. Their clothing is varied and obviously carefully curated. I’m a mature woman, but any young woman through my generation will find something wonderful. Met Nicole this week. Same great shopping experience. Thank you for making this Iowa girl feel welcomed and fashionable.

Jenny Herrera I am very satisfied with Giovanni and the entire process of our transaction. He was very kind, thorough, and knowledgeable. I was overwhelmed with scraps of jewelry and had been procrastinating doing anything with it. His knowledge helped put me at ease, and I surprisingly walked out with a satisfying amount for items that I wasn’t even sure had any worth. I highly recommend working with them.

Malaikka Santiago The service here was very friendly and genuine! You can tell they really know about gold and diamond jewelry. Zee helped us with a last minute gift for our wedding really glad we decided to stop here (: will be back in the future.

Bennett Hauser I worked with Linda and the Carats & Stones team for our engagement ring, and simply cannot say enough great things about my experience. I explored every option out there: from high end luxury retailers, to online players, to wholesalers at the diamond exchange. Carats & Stones offered the elegance of high end retail without the brand markup, the uniqueness of a boutique, and the customization of endless options; they could access any stone I could find online -- and then some! -- for us to *actually see in person* before purchasing. We did a yellow diamond, which was a bit more challenging. Linda and her team were patient, knowledgeable, meticulous, discerning, and budget conscious. I wanted to be very hands on during the process, and they not only embraced that, but guided and educated me along the way. When you spend a lot on something, you want to walk away feeling like you selected the right path; I am certain that I did by going with Carats & Stones. My fiancée and I are thrilled with the result, love that its unique to us, and enjoy popping in to the charming boutique to see their other beautiful creations whenever we can.

Bryan Jimenez Jewelry is super awesome and dope

Jose Bermudez Best experience I’ve had buying jewelry, Novem knows what he is doing. Thank you
