Goodies

I first discovered Goodies via Instagram early 2020 and eyed everything they posted with love wanted to make the cross-LA trek to their eastside shop. Once the pandemic hit, they kept their business going with neighborhood specific delivieries which was SO incredible and I knew I couldn't help but support and finally get a few things I'd been eying. Since then I've visited both their Atwater and Santa Monica shops, as well as sample sales. The products are great price for great quality and everyone who works with them is so incredibly kind. I love seeing how they've been able to expand and open more stores!

I have one wooden cup that I got at their sample sale for $2 that cracked and leaked the first time I hand washed it, but because it was so cheap and everything else I've gotten has been such great quality it didn't bug me at all. I have the wooden bread loaf basket, coffee scoop, salt bowl, marble tray — everything is so beautiful and really elevates the look of my apt.

i love this small business! it’s owned by a filipina woman and their staff is incredibly kind. i discovered goodies during the pandemic when they would do local deliveries, but now i’m happy to see they’ve expanded their storefronts to multiple locations in LA. everything is priced extremely reasonably and i love all their marble and teak! i was lucky to buy one of their cane chairs in collaboration with France and Son too.

online inventory is lacking. it’s best to go in person to select your items!

LA hidden gem of a home goods store. Absolutely love everything about this company. All items are affordable (under $25) and they actually sell the most adorable wood stools and ladders. My wife and I go to their stores pretty frequently and our home is filled with goodies items. Oooo and love their candles.

Online inventory. They have a lot more items in store then online.

I ordered a teak wooden spatula. The look and feel of it is wonderful--it's a gorgeous dark wood and it feels soft and smooth in my hand with a well defined edge. However I was surprised at how thin the handle was and the overall feeling of flimsiness. Obviously I did not test it, but I felt that I could snap the thing in my hands without too much effort. I haven't given it any heavy duty cooking work yet, and I am hesitant to try for fear of breaking it.

The sturdiness of the product really could use improvement, at least in this particular case. In the future I would stick to buying items such as bowls that shouldn't see a lot of stresses placed on them.
