Tabula Rasa Essentials

"I don't know what is it about this street but none of these stores greet, nor seem like they want to help anyone with a purchase. I stood at the counter for at least 20 seconds and was not acknowledged. The bare minimum for me is a simple "hello". I mean great looking store with cool stuff but cmon now, greet your customers."

"They are always extremely friendly and quick when I shop here before birthday lunches with friends or family events. I always leave with fantastic presents that are expertly wrapped. An ideal choice for all circumstances!"

"I visited the store with a friend to browse the selection of trinkets. However, my shopping experience was marred by the constant surveillance of two employees. One of them seemed to follow us throughout the store, giving us the impression that we were being treated like suspects. This made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome, and it detracted from the overall shopping experience. I’ve never been treated like that at a store. I will not come back to this establishment."

"One of my favorite stores in Manhattan Beach. I buy something from here every chance I get. I highly recommend popping in and grabbing what your heart loves. Fair warning - there will be a lot of it. This shop is locally owned and rent isn’t free; please don’t complain about high prices or accept discounts/promotions. We have to keep our mom and pop shops in business. This is most certainly one that I never want to see disappear!! So much love for Tabula Rasa!!"

"I have been shopping at this boutique since we moved here in 2006. Our family has always had a good experience! I shop here right before birthday lunches with friends or family celebrations and they are so helpful and quick. I always walk out with awesome gifts that are beautifully wrapped. A perfect go to for all occasions!"
