While the customer service was good, I felt this boutique is over priced. I won’t shop in mall stores as I find the smaller boutiques more fun and love supporting our local merchants however, shopping at Camellia’s was frustrating due to the pricing. I agree with Teek N Tucker’s review regarding the return policy as well. With prices THAT high, I’d prefer a return policy that allows someone to return something as opposed to just a store credit.

Decent selection of clothes and shoes.(Such as) Level 99 denim but a lot of brands you can purchase at Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus. Plus these department stores have better return and importantly customer service. I’m giving this 1 star because of the staff. The woman assisting me was snotty. Maybe she is the owner, either way, get better customer service skills. I felt judged slightly discriminated but have to laugh because she lost a customer and someone that would have been happy to send them more business. As a business owner, customer service is key!

I like to think of this boutique as my little secret. but I just can’t help but introduce my friends to the lovely and right on trend boutique style store! I LOVE that it is right off Cedros and that it is kind of a hidden gem. You can always find something in here whether its to accessorize an outfit, a must have sale piece or just a fabulous jacket or dress for that occasion coming up! The girls are always sweet and have that boho style so you can trust their fashion sense. The store seems to get in new shipments often so things are always fresh and trendy, but not too trendy as I think there is something for everyone in here! But peeps, don’t go too often and blow up my secret spot, Thanks!

This boutique is the best place to find the most amazing and trendy clothes! I have been going here for several years and find that Angelica, Tina, and Debi the owner are always helpful and friendly as can be, If I need assistance putting together outfits they are all experienced in pulling together amazing looks! Not only do they have amazing clothes they also carry shoes, handbags, belts, and one of a kind jewelry pieces made by some of the girls who work here as we’ll as the owner. This is we’re I do my shopping whether I need an everyday look, party clothes, even special events-like New Years. I have always been happy with my experience here, and will continue to shop here, it’s like going to a friendly closet full of amazing things! I guarantee you will be happy if you shop here.

I absolutely love this store and it is practically the only place I shop for clothes. I have been shopping here for years and get so many complements on my original cute outfits that I keep their business cards in my purse for referral. Debby the owner is so sweet and positive and has such a great eye for fashion. She also makes really cute jewelry. Angellica and Tina are both very fashion forward and know what looks great on me and what to recommend. I highly, highly recommend this boutique for a fun and fabulous shopping experience. Beware, you WILL become addicted!!!

I had a similar experience as Doris K. — stopped in here while on my way to meet a friend for breakfast, and although I was looking at three or four items for sizes, the girl working there completely ignored me, and at one point even brushed past me to find something for another customer. Yes the clothes are cute — but a hello or even a smile would have been nice. I loved one of the dresses they had and probably would have bought it if only someone had said something to me.

Big fan of this boutique in Solana Beach. I have a couple of favorite places to shop when I need a dress or nice outfit in a pinch, and I always find something at Camellia. The gals who work there are wonderful too! They are helpful without being pushy or annoying. They have even suggested some things that I normally would never try on or buy, and I have loved their ideas and expanded my «style» choices. Love their clothes and accessories at reasonable prices.

I think that they have some great pieces here, and it suits my style. Prices look like they range from $ 68 – 300. They have a large layout and plenty of parking. My only problem was that when I came into the store the salesperson was busy talking to someone else and never bothered to greet me or my husband even though she turned to look at us. I plan to come back to see if I have the same experience.

LOVE this place! Debby(the owner) is an absolutely doll and her girls Angelica and Tina are fabulous too. I am a total dress girl and they always have a great selection for all occasions. It’s very boutiquey and Debby only orders a few in each size. She rarely does a reorder so I’m not too concerned with spotting someone else in an outfit I just bought there. The girls have learned my style and already know what to pull when I walk in. I just bought the cutest blue dress that I can’t wait to wear! Whether it’s a cover up for the beach, jeans and tank, or a cocktail dress, you can find it here. If this review convinces you to check out the store, tell the girls I sent you. They will remember me… I’m in there every other weekend.

LOVELOVELOVE this store!!! I prefer boutique shopping to large strip malls, but this by far is my #1 place to shop in San Diego! I am very petite, but have an athletic body — LOVE that all of the clothes I buy at Camellia don’t need to be altered… this never happens! VERY friendly girls working here, which makes the experience that much better! High-5 to Camellia, my new go-to for shopping!!!
