Bountiful

Never EVER open. When we walked by a couple of days ago, they were closing before 2pm on a Saturday. We want to give you our business. What’s up? We may not try again. You’re a business, why don’t you post hours and stay there.

I learned from the online community that this location is shutting down, which is a huuuuge bummer since I’ve spent hours at time, looking at their beautiful displays of cake stands online! It’s seriously like heaven. I’m sure, this is what heaven looks like for cake artists everywhere.
Unfortunately, after hearing this location was closing down, my sister in law was able to make a pit stop for me and pop in to see what she could grab for me since a 5 hour car drive one way isn’t in my near future. Unfortunately a lot of what I was looking for was already gone, and selections limited, however still available.
If you’re looking to get some Mosser Glass cake stands, be sure to stop in! True, prices are still expensive, but they’re more reasonable now. Even if you don’t buy anything, just go to take in a store like no other in the area.

I am an interior designer and homes stylist for national magazines. So, i frequent shops across the country all the time. You will be hard-​pressed to find a homes store as unique as Bountiful anywhere. The owner, Sue, is just delightful and she is so helpful with using and placing her product! Bountiful is definitely a destination shop, if you’re in the Los Angeles area. Check it out– you will not be disappointed. The displays are just amazing– so inspiring, even if you are just looking!

Ready to get lost? This place is full of color and your eyes will not know where to look first. I personally like coming here to pick up little knick-​knacks like matchboxes. They have such a cool array to choose from that you will never purchase another box of matches at the market again.

Be warned: EVERYTHING in here is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! You will want one of each. In every color. But here’s the catch: it’s pricey! The least expensive glass cake stands are $ 30 and go up to almost $ 500, with many of them falling between $ 100−200…that’s a LOT more than the average price anywhere else!
So why shop here? Well, they have colors, sizes, and shapes you won’t be able to easily find anywhere else, such as emerald green, mint, a variety of pinks, baby blue, etc. And items are often on sale, as much as 50% off, which makes what WAS a $ 190 cake stand suddenly a LOT more affordable/​reasonable!
They also have gorgeous vintage glasses, which are also very pricey, but if you’ve got the money to burn and want to put something really gorgeous in your home, these are worth your time and money! If I lived nearby, this is where I’d want my friends to get my birthday gifts from!
They also carry a variety of other pretty items, from mirrored trays to costume jewelry. These items are easier to find elsewhere for prices I am happier to pay, so I haven’t purchased any such items here at Bountiful… but again, if you’ve got the money to spend, they have a beautiful selection!
This store really is NOT WHEELCHAIR-​ACCESSIBLE, which is a shame. Even if you could fit in the front door, everything is so close together, there isn’t good turning radius to maneuver around, and you’d be terrified the whole time that you’d back into one of the many floor-​to-​ceiling towers of glassware, shattering and therefore buying thousands of dollars of their wares! Luckily, my experience here is that the employees are very friendly and helpful, so if you ARE in a wheelchair, if you come to the doorway, they’ll come to you and help you get whatever it is you are looking for, so at least there’s that option!
If you are a magpie and someone who loves to entertain (or have beautiful displays in your home), this is definitely your mecca!!!

I LOVED this shop! It was super cute with all the different colored cake plates stacked high to the ceiling and all of the different mirrors hung everywhere! They had something for anyone’s price point and if you’re from out of town, they ship!
This shop is absolutely worth a browse when you’re in Venice and I look forward to going back and maybe purchasing something next time!

I am a professional wedding planner and we were shopping in the area for props for a wedding. We came upon this crowded vintage shop with a film crew leaving so we thought there might be an interesting find there. We encountered the rudest shop owner I have ever met in my life who spoke so condescendingly to my aunt I couldn’t believe my ears. My aunt asked how much these nice smelling candles were and the women flatly stated $ 78, but they were half off. My aunt was a bit shocked at the price tag and the lady said, «I’m not responsible for your taste» in a nasty tone as if we couldn’t afford them. I was so shocked and appalled, all I could say was, «That was so rude. That was really rude». My aunt said we wouldn’t be buying anything in this store. We then walked across the street for some retail therapy and spent $ 100 at a nice lady’s clothes shop. Oh, and I have to mention the only thing she really had in the shop was mountains of plain cake stands you can find at other vintage shops for 75% less. Major rip off and I would never step in this place again because of the woman’s disgusting attitude. She pretty much put us in a bad mood the rest of our visit to this fun area. Nothing worth buying and totally unprofessional owner sums this up! I’m sorry I have to give her even one star to rate the shop because it gets a zero from us.

This place is a girly, glassy, colorful dreamland. Every time I walk in here I want to buy everything, from the jade glass plates to the old school salt and pepper shakers and french soaps and candles… and those cake stands. Don’t even get me started on those cake stands, all stacked precariously in gorgeous blues, reds, pinks, and neon yellows even! The only problem is that this place is REALLY REALLY expensive. We’re talking$ 75+ for a glass cloche and $ 125 for a standard sized glass cake stand. I’m pretty sure they’re not all vintage because they have so many in stock, so I’m not sure why they’re so so pricey, but they sure are beautiful. That’s really the only reason I give this place less than five stars… because I’ve seen similar items in other stores for way cheaper, albeit not displayed quite as gorgeously and all in one place.
I happened to be walking by yesterday and saw that they were having a 50% off sale, something I had never seen before, so I had to go in and pick something up, especially when the salesgirl told us that this hasn’t happened in six years and that it was bound to end any day now. I purchased a gorgeous stand as a gift but restrained myself from buying a me present because even at half off, the stuff isn’t cheap! The girl working that day was so sweet and working really hard to help out all of the ladies clamoring in there to get their hands on their marked down items, and I really applaud her for keeping her cool (in the HOT space with no AC!)
I’ll keep coming back here and admiring this gorgeous place, even when the sale is through, and maybe one day when I get a little more spending money in my pocket those four stars will be raised to five!

Checked out this place and as I was walking through the narrow aisles, I desperately wanted a colored cake stand even though I’ve never made a cake. Once I checked out the price tag though, I had to seriously re-​think my baking abilities. For a medium sized cake stand, it was about $ 50 and that was already 50% off.
I will come back because I do want a cake stand from here… I think I will learn and improve my cake making skills…
They do sell other porcelain items than cake stands so come here to browse in all their quirkly, cute and vintage items or spend the dough.

A once in a lifetime 50% off sale happened to me here! I got out of there spending under $ 50, on four items. This store is a palace of porcelain treasures, and vintage antiques. I could have done way more damage, especially on the gorgeous stacked cake stands that are $ 150. I guess I can just look at them for now!

I am so frustrated with this place!
As someone who has been vintage shopping for years, I know basically what most items should cost, both low-​end and high-​end. Bountiful inflates their prices to the extreme. For example, I was there looking for vintage pyrex, glass jars, bottles, etc. today. Large vintage mason jars tend to go for about $ 8 on the lower end to about $ 15 or $ 20 on the higher end, depending on the color of the glass and the age of the jar. They had one at Bountiful priced at $ 95. Totally insane.
I also found a little off brand pyrex-​type jar with a rusted lid. It should have been priced anywhere between $ 5 and $ 20. It was priced at $ 145. I seriously could not believe it.
Please look elsewhere before spending your money on anything at Bountiful. I’d suggest even Wertz Bros. Antiques in Santa Monica, which tends to be a bit expensive, over this place.

Not really a store, but an art installation. An interesting and visually fascinating storefront, with (as all the reviews note) hundreds of vintage cake stands and accessories piled high as far as the eye can see.
So it’s got that going for it, which is nice.
But aside from that, there’s almost nothing else for sale here. So unless you are interested in buying a vintage cake stand, or something that goes with it, there’s no point in coming here. Except, of course, if you’re interested in looking at said cake stands. Which you might, I guess.
Also there’s no sign outside that actually shows the name of the store.
Just not sure I am clear on the business plan here…

Walk bery bery carfury!!!
Wow! Yes I am a straight male actually Unilocaling this place and yes I am a straight male giving this place 5 stars. This place is cake plates galore. They have a mixture of brand new cake plates and vintage cake plates, but like Wu Tang said back in 93 just «watch your step kid.» because just one wrong move you can have a crazy domino effect of cake plates falling all over the place. Not only does this place have cake plates but they also have a lot of vintage finds, like mirrors, fire hydrants, and other nice random stuff. Lastly what was cool is that they actually let me rent some cake plates for my wedding instead of paying a $ 185 for each. If your in the neighborhood I recommend that you drop by and be amazed of the random vintage finds you may find.

Ever seen a person melt?
NJ melted when she discovered this gem of a shoppe.
Cake stands. From the floor to the ceiling. Square ones, round ones, cut glass ones, stands trimmed in gold leaf, stands made of carnival glass, pink stands, blue stands, froggy green stands. Never have I seen so many cake stands before in my life.
And then there’s the things that go with cake stands. Cake stand lids. Tall ones. Short ones. Lids covered with painted vines. Lids with words etched in them.
And then there’s the stuff that goes inside the lid and atop the stand. You’re thinking cake, but that they don’t have here. Candles. They do have candles. Thick, round candles to fill the stand.
NJ, after melting on the floor, purchased so many cake stands, cake stand lids, and candles that I suddenly understood what she meant when she told me earlier «I have a lot more expenses than you». Indeed. I bought nary a cake stand.
Still, I was so damn amused watching NJ’s happiness and joy and seeing the owner (clearly another cake stand fanatic) responding honestly to that joy. If a shop can bring anyone that many thrills than who am I to deny them 5 stars?
When the big one hits, I don’t want to be anywhere near this place («person killed by thousands of crashing cake stands») but until then: 5 stars!

I have not set one foot in but my eyes have gawked through at the windows as we walked by on a Monday night to the Otherroom.
Simply stunning vintage and product staging… you have to see for yourself. Stacks and stacks of cake stands and whimsical chairs hanging from the ceiling… it was a dream come true in just finding a display that makes you so happy because it’s so goddamn awesome.

LOVE!
If I were to get rich, I’d shop here regularly!

Alice in Wonderland would shop here.
I was a tad skeptical at first. Usually when I pass a store heaped with products, it’s a bunch of junk manufactured by third world workers creating cheap plastic trinkets for mere pennies.
But, as soon as I passed the threshold, I was glad I’d stepped inside. Beautiful cake holders were stacked in front of me. There were straight-​stick candles, which are harder to find than tapered ones. There were 100-​hour burning candles, candlesticks, clever match boxes, and other fabulous household items.
When the woman (owner?) at the counter discovered my purchase was intended as a gift, she offered to wrap it for me. She stuffed the white paper bag with lilac tissue paper and tied a matching bow around the twine handles. Very thoughtful and sweet.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Beautiful antique chandeliers, antique cake stands, a lot of variety of matchboxes!
Two things I was little bit worried about the Bountiful store…
1. antique cake stands was piled up mountainhigh, I hope there is no earthquake…
2. there are so many matchboxes, I hope no fire breaks out…
I love the store so please please survive a fire and earthquake!

I am totally obsessed with this place. I want EVERYTHING! If you are into French antiques, farmhouse chic and vintagey finds this is the place for you!
They have beautiful furniture, French soaps, vintage bottles and pill boxes, delicate champagne glasses and my favorite… antique cake stands of every color.
This place is a treasure trove. Items can be a little pricey, but it beats the price of a plane ticket to Paris to shop at Les Puces yourself!

After numerous occasions of driving up and down of Abbot Kinney, we finally made a stop to check out this place.
Shabby chic style little shop filled with gorgeous stuff. For me this is like a toy and candy store for kids. :-)
From seashells, to soaps to all kind of European furnitures and accessories. But everything is jam packed in the store,. I just wonder what would happens if there was an earthquake,. All the glass items are stacked so high and packed!
It’s a cool store. But pretty pricey. I’m not a rich celebrity yet only a middle class employee that can only put most of these stuff on my want list if I hit the lottery then actually buying all of them not just one or two items. But definitely lots of cute and different unique things.
