The Feral Market - Monterey (CA)

5 /5 Leah B: As a long time local, I’ve been shopping at the store for years. It’s an amazing family owned business with the most wonderful service and the quirkiest, awesome selection of merchandise. My young adult/teenage kids and their friends have stopped in there and shopped many many times, the owners are always wonderful and engaging with them. Having been part of a family owned business, I know how hard it can be to run a business in this corporate world. In a society where we can make or break somebody with a good or bad review. I think people should have better communication in our community before going after a business owner. Support our local businesses, and understand that situations are not always as clearcut as you may think. I will be recommending, as I always have that anybody should shop here for the most unique gifts, fun items for your home and awesome clothes!! But of course always be kind, and teach our children the same ✌️

5 /5 Nicole Heiland: 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!

5 /5 Valerie K: I love this shop. I’m born and raised in this bay and I’ve enjoy wandering around the local Farmer’s Market in downtown Monterey since I was a kid and this shop is the perfect place to stop by when walking around Farmer’s Market and heading to Fishermen’s Wharf. I love the pop culture references and the clothes are so cute and comfortable. Also it’s nice to know that everything is picked out by someone that really cares about the quality of their items and helping other small businesses by carrying their products. I especially love all the vegan friendly clothes! I’ve never had a bad experience in this shop but I think it’s important to remember that small businesses are owned by other human beings. So, at the least, be respectful of their space and the care they put into their store.

5 /5 Suzy Matsubara: This store is soooo cute and interesting! Spent a lot of time laughing in the store. My new favorite local shop for sure! I decided to bring a friend from out of town here after I received what were my favorite Christmas gifts this year. I thought we’d spend like 20 minutes in there, but it was closer to 45 min or so because there were so many interesting items to check out. My buddy and I gifted each other really cute socks! My friend, who’s an introvert received socks that said “Friends don’t make friends hang out”. I was gifted socks that had a sunset and said, “Let that shit go”. The owner was such a pleasure to talk to and hear her story about the store. You can tell she carefully curates the items and is passionate. Very cool experience.

5 /5 Victoria: THE CUTEST STORE EVER. This store is a millenial paradise. Theres nihilistic and sassy merchandise around the front of the store, cute mens items to one side and womens all around the back and side. I got my new favorite cardigans from here and hats. Particularly one that says "Do Not Disturb." Lol Ive gotten many compliments on it and I only got it a few days ago! I The shop ladies are super nice too. The lady gave us doggie treats and made our pups feel so welcome. It was such a great experience. Shopping is self care, amiright?? (Cardigan and beanie pictured below)
