In a space behind Café Latte that boasts an open ceiling, bright orange walls, and a disco ball, Quince is loud and proud and overcrowded. Merchandise spills out the front entrance on racks and shelves, and presses in on the unsuspecting browser. And although the ruffle-butt panties and embellished Ariat cowboy boots may not be to your liking, the classic 525 America sweaters, luxe knit tunics from Drifter, and mind-blowing selection of rhinestone costume jewelry may be. Hiding amongst the hardware-heavy racks of synthetic Big Buddha bags are classically styled genuine leather hobos from Ili. Fighting for rack space with loud, wild graphic tees are darling Nick & Mo cropped blazers, cheeky Gama-Go hoodies, and darling sleeveless blouses. In amongst the chunky turquoise and silver necklaces you’ll find delicately handcrafted pendants and earrings. It’s a real hodgepodge, but well worth wading through.

Bags and accessories crowd the entrance, but be sure to snake your way through the narrow space to the back of the shop. Shelves of denim from Miss Chic and Sang Real are worth a look-see, and the selection of tissue-weight layering tees is astonishing. Quince also offers babywear galore, candles, tableware, and gourmet foods, so if you can’t find a thing for yourself, you might still snag a gift or two.
