The Monterey General Store is a block off the main street, but worth the short walk! They are a souvenir shop with a great selection and better prices!!! This is The Place to bring your kids for their souvenirs!!!

Lady at counter so rude. No customer service! I am purchasing and changed my mind on the color, so I asked for another one with different pattern and she said, Seriously. We are locals, cant imagine how tourist are treated. Husband says he would say Thank you but you are just rude!!! No stars!

I have visited the store on multiple occasions and the staff is extremely unwelcoming. My purchases have fallen apart within a few days and are of poor quality. There are plenty of other stores on cannery row

HORRIBLE - Do NOT Go Here if You Have KidsToday I was in this store with my three children (ages 3 to 7). My daughter was standing next to me looking and touching some magnets, that were at child level. My other two sons were looking at items standing next to me as well.The owners wife came over to my little girl, who is 3, and grabbed the magnets out of her hand and said to her sternly, I told you kids not to play with these!You have to put these back! My daughter put some of them back and then the woman, said,...that is not where they go! My daughter began to cry and the lady walked into the back of the store.I calmed my daughter down and walked over to the counter where the owner, Mike Halstin,was standing. As he started to ring up my item, I politely said that it might be a good idea to let the parents know if they do not want kids to touch something in the store. He proceeded to tell me he should not have to do that because he is not a babysitter. He then raiised his voice above mine and told me I should be watching my kids and he is not he as a babysitter.I told him I was standing next to her the whole time and that he was being beyond rude. I told him I would never in a million years allow him to watch my children and asked him why they would have toys in here if they do not want kids to come in? He proceeded to continue berating me and insulting me as I asked for my card back and told him I will never come back. I am a local and I informed him I will let everyone know in the community never to come here. He continued his insults as we walked out, all in front of my kids.These people are HORRIBLE and all the other reviews are right on. Please BOYCOTT this store. It is a sad insult to the Monterey Peninsula that they are even in the community.
