I don't like bashing small businesses but this circumstance is special. I would never shop or recommend this store to anyone! The staff was incredibly rude and judging from previous reviews this is normal. I was doing a OTR tour with a friend who just moved back from LA. I wanted him to see how different the area is since he's been gone and how many small businesses are now occupying the area. I loved the dress that was in the window so decided to pop in to check it out. We were received with a cold welcome and I felt like we were being watched as if we were going to steal something.

I received absolutely zero greeting or even acknowledgement from the four women chatting (couldn't tell who was a staff member). I like what Pitaya sells, but things are a) overpriced and b) crammed onto racks in a way that would make Forever 21 blush. There is a serious issue with how they train, or don't train, their staff -- zero customer service, not even an attempt at it. I wish them well but cannot imagine how they're staying open if this is how they treat their visitors :( Go to Kismet or Boutique Cala down the street and you'll receive WAY better customer service at the same or a lesser...
