Toms Flagship Store

Venice, Marina Del Rey & Playa del Rey

LoginSave

You know Toms, which made its name selling fun, slip-on canvas shoes and giving a pair away to underprivileged kids overseas for each pair sold in the States? Well, its flagship store doubles as a very chill cafe. Out back are a lawn, fireplace, shared tables and lounge seating in the sun and shade. A great hang.

Look also for events such as music, yoga, game tournaments or craft-making.

Toms' has also branched out to shades and coffee, which translate into optometry and water projects in needy communities.
