Our family has enjoyed frequenting the Mole Hole for many, many years. My grandmother remembers when the establishment was underground many years ago! They have awesome products. We were sad to see that the location was changing. This morning, we were at the location it has been for many years one last time before the move (since we visit from out of town). When my mom asked the lady about it, she was short with my mom and said she could buy something to remember them by. At that time, I was looking around the store. This other lady working there kept looking at me and my shopping bag (I had just bought larger items at the hardware store, so the bag was big); it made me feel uncomforable as though she thought I was going to steal something. What made me more uncomfortable was as soon as my mom walked away to look around the store, both sales ladies started talking in low voices and looking our direction. We sadly decided not to buy anything, though we most certainly would have with more kind and gracious sales representatives. As we were walking past them to leave, the one lady again looked at me and my bag to which I asked if she would like to see inside. She got a little defensive asking why I was asking her that. I said that she kept looking at my bag and I then made it clear that I would never steal anything. The other sales lady then starting saying loudly, "Have a nice day, have a nice day." Unfortunately, incredibly rude and very sad, especially since the Mole Hole used to be a favorite store in Solvang that we used to patronize.

One of the best store's in Solvang for gifts. We could have spent $100's off dollars here

This review is for the small location next to the Gerlach Photography Gallery. Stsff is EXTREMELY racist towards my asian wife. Every time she went to pick something up to look at it, the employee would aggressively clear her throat and stared at my wife. I hope this place goes out of business. Gfc.

This shop had some really nice things, not cheap touristy junk. I bought a bunch of books for my little girl, my wife bought some nice candles. I had to put some stuff back because I went a little crazy.
