The Labyrinth

Amazing store! Perfect for those hard to please, eccentric souls that enjoy the unique things in life! Definitely returning to see what new pleasures I can ease!

This is the coolest eclectic store in the area, and perhaps even all of San Diego! As a crafty type myself, I appreciate the über-​cool steampunk clothing and jewelry (got to get some wirework elven ears!) and is one of the only places in East County where you can purchase loose bulk herbs of all kinds! They also have a nice variety of essential oil options, despite the small store size. I just SOOO connected with Steve, the store’s Tarot Card Reader — as a professional intuitive myself, you can tell he is the REAL deal! Amazing little store that I make effort to visit when I am in downtown La Mesa — park across the street in the lot if you can! :-)

What a great place! The owner was friendly, helpful and non pushy. They had a great selection of Steam Punk costumes including corsets, hats, skirts, jackets, and jewelry. I actually completed my costume. However, if I need goggles, I’m going back.

Amazing place with addictive energy. This place has a great selection of herbs, yummy tea’s, beautiful stones and awesome steam punk clothing. I 100% recommend this place and looking forward to my next visit.

I usually browse shops like these for their gemstones, for use in my own projects. I was surprised to find how pricey their selection was compared to other places. I’m also not happy that their peacock ore was blatantly fake, little more than a rock covered in glitter (for those that don’t know, chalcopyrite, or peacock ore, is not a sedimentary rock and shouldn’t leave particles in it’s container and on your hands, like their imitations do). I can understand falling for well-​made imitations, but anyone with access to a google search can tell you that what they have is NOT the rock is claims to be. I know this seems like I’m a bit worked up over one rock, but if they can’t make those basic calls, then that leaves me wondering on the quality of their other products. Their jewelry involving gemstones, however, were pretty, well-​made, and fairly priced. At least that’s something.

This place is awesome it has every herb imaginable. Jewels was wonderful at helping find what I needed. The customer service here rocks! I am definitely going back when I need stuffs. Check this place out they have a bit of everything even tarot readers and clothing and jewelry, oils and teas and stones.

My favorite metaphysical shop! The woman who I assume is the owner is very very helpful and patient and all other people who I’ve seen working there were extremely welcoming. I’m normally intimidated by workers in these types of stores because I’m a newbie but it’s obvious she wants to help her customers. I get excited walking in the shop and they have such a wide selection outside of metaphysical products! Everything is also reasonably priced, I definitely recommend stopping by.

My husband and I were walking around with his parents and happened to check out this place. I’m not in on the whole steam punk scene or anything, but I can appreciate the awesomeness of the things here. We bought several gifts and spent a lot more time looking around. They have really unique jewelry, clothing, accessories, and much more. The prices were very reasonable, too. Apparently they do readings, and I think crafts and things too. This place is great if you want something one of a kind! Even if you don’t think it’s your style, you might find some cool earrings, a fascinator, or even just hair clips.

This place is amazing! I feel in love instantly. I was so excited to have a local apothecary shop (I was ordering my stuff from LA) and to be able to talk to someone so knowledgeable. They have so much to offer her besides the normal medicinal herbs. There steam punk items are to kill for (and I just might) there well made and original. They also have repurposed items that are so unique many of which you have to look twice to see what that it was actually something else originally. I would recommend that you stop by this store and check it out whether or not your into apothecary or steam punk I guarantee it is worth a look you will be amazed and inspired, I know I was.

I had a really good experience shopping here. I was actually in the area looking for items for my Halloween costume when I happened upon The Labyrinth. They have a lot of unique items packed into the tiny storefront, and the sales people were super helpful and friendly, explaining the history of any items I had questions about. I ended up purchasing some really well made clothing items that I will definitely be wearing for more than just a one time costume, and the prices were really good for pieces that had been sewn/​altered by hand. Wish you guys ended up in Normal Heights (a few blocks down the road from my house) but I’ll have to make it back to La Mesa soon to check out your new treasures.
