Trove

I hate this place. It has ridiculously overpriced crap and the two owners are very rude. I will never step foot in this place again. more

Please don't give this store any of your business. If you want to hear my horror story, let me know. more

They owners are classy but down to earth, fun but professional to deal with. It's like a trip to New York, Europe and a museum all rolled into one. I want to curl up with a book and a cup of coffee. Thanks Trove. Pros: Love their website Cons: I want to live there..... more

First, I want to be clear that I didn't purchase anything from this store and can't comment to the quality, price, or anything about what Trove sells (other than it isn't anything I personally would purchase). I did engage one of the owners for home design services. For many reasons, it just didn't work out. I thought I would be able to get most of my money back after we mutually agreed to terminate the contract. But instead, the owner felt he was entitled to keep 100% of my hard earn money (which I foolishly paid up front), despite not providing any tangible services in return (after nearly two months went by). It was the worse experience in my entire life and this person ruin what should have been a happy time during a purchase of my first new home. I have been traumatized by the entire experience and I will never trust any home designer or a small independent store again. Where I come from back in NYC, this business would never survive after treating customers this way (word travels fast in the Big Apple). Anyhow, I can't possibly recommend this business. Cons: I lost thousands of dollars! more

This store is absolutely brilliant! Every item in there is unique, tasteful, enticing, and lust-worthy. Every time I go in there, there is something new and fabulous. The owners have such an eye for art and objects d'art - the store truly lives us to its name. Pros: Always something new - always something you'll want. Cons: none. more

Trove has a great mix of stuff and no frivolous junk. You feel like you should be in Paris and not Laguna Beach. I bought some fabulous French steel folding chairs and some beautiful huge, wooden pieces from a church that was built in the 18th Century. My clients love them! It's nice to be able to go into a store that is perfectly edited but where you can also find a very wide range of things. more

Please open a second store in Los Angeles!!!\r This store is wonderful. Very ecclectic. Great antiques and old jewelry. There are about five great stores on this block. Three of them have antiques. It's worth the trip from Los Angeles. It's not downtown Laguna so you don't have to deal with crowds. Love, love, love this place. Wish it was bigger. Pros: Stuff you won't see anywhere else. Great books and blankets. more

Small shop, exquisite taste, no attitude. Seems out of place in Laguna Beach--too cool. If you want something you haven't seen before go to Trove. Mostly French and American but not the typical stuff you see everywhere. Some strange antique folk art pieces. Check out the stainless steel lobsters they make. Pros: looks like a gallery, unusual but very beautiful antiques, no attitude, great books Cons: merchandise moves quickly so sometimes it looks sparse more
