Just another great little Ace hardware store. It’s pretty small, so don’t expect to find everything you need here. But they have all the basics. They also always seem to have an assortment of unique items. Good place for gift shopping. We never have an issue finding parking behind the store. They have a small nursery, but they probably shouldn’t. Staff is always extremely courteous and helpful.

Awesome, friendly service and prime location. They have the best, most organized selection of hardware Ive ever seen. Plus, their rewards membership sends solid discounts every few months.

Close by, has a little of everything. Cool gift ideas even for kids. A little more expensive but saves you a ride to other improvement stores especially if you live closer to the beach.

Sadly they are having a closing sale, soo long friend, I found some good items for discounted pricing, sad to see them close shop.

Very helpful staff.Easy to find what you need. I have shopped at Ace Hardware in every small town I have lived in. Love Ace!Parking was ok but can be tricky in summer tourist seasons

Love my little local Ace. Very helpful employees. Due to the small size, they sometimes have limited items on hand, but can order anything. Plus, dogs are welcome.

Very happy theyre open New years Eve until 5 p.m., I got a new exterior, interior thermometer, couple of night lights, very nice store recommend it to everyone!

6 STAR SERVICE!!!!My wife and I were out on our Sunday bike ride along the 101 and we decided to stop by this Ace hardware store because I needed a rubber O ring for the chin strap of my bicycle helmet.I walked in the front entrance....never been in this store in my life and a female staff member asked me if she could help me.I said I am looking for an 0 ring for my bicycle helmet chin strap.The lady...her name is Kat said Ill show you where they are kept because we just moved them.We walked down a long aisle at the rear of the store and Kat pulled out the small box tray that held all the various sizes of O rings they stocked.I had one of the O rings from our helmets in my hand as we tried to find the exact same size.Kat helped me select the right one and said tell them at the counter that it is 27 cents.Well let me tell you I have never had such friendly helpful attentive service in my life while buying such an incredibly inexpensive item.My wife was also impressed and said in future when we need anything from a hardware store this is where we are shopping.Well done Kat and Crown Ace Hardware.

Ive shopped here a lot and find the staff very knowledgeable and good at what they do. I particularly like Beth - Shes very personable. GREAT store!

Unfortunately theyre going out of business. Some great discounts but stock is dwindling.

The fellow who thinks Ace employees open on Sunday When they want to must not go to this Ace very often.First of all the owner is not on site to talk about opening. Employees are the only people who open this Ace Location, and a remark to the effectWe leave off the opening time so we can open when we want clearly was made in jest. That Guy has got to get a sense of humor. I go there all the time, and the employees there spend time with the customers, are eager to help, and direct me to items Im looking for all the time. Further they look to solve homeowners problems beyond what they have to sell, and have suggested several creative solutions for me regardingpainting projects, windsock pole anchoring, and more.There are a great bunch of people there, and I enjoy going there as doa multitude of others I know.

This place is very very poor with horrible people that do not want to help you at all! Id give them 5 bad stars if I could! Anyway I do not recommend this place to anybody and you are much better off going to another hardware store!

Staff is incredibly helpful. Once, when I went in looking for a boat hook, one of the staff members actually MADE what I needed out of a dowel and hook.

Super friendly and helpful staff. And I always find what Im looking for.

Love Ace Hardware, happy to have one in downtown Encinitas!!! Prefer it to Home Depot.

Great local hardware store with the ACE brand. Concviently located in downtown Encinitias.

Friendly staff but too many times I go in for a completely standard piece of hardware and their either dont carry it or they are out of stock. I may as well just go to home depot since I end up going there anyway.

Great inventory. Very friendly and knowledgeable personnel.

They have very reasonable prices for the location!

Nice helpful staff good selection. Sometimes too helpful, there are times I just need wonder around to find the solution to my problem without be asked if I need help finding something 5 times

Love this place. They are extremely helpful

Richard is the best he knew exactly what I needed!!!

Great place to get a key cut.
