826LA & The Echo Park Time Travel Mart - Non-profit organization in Los Angeles - 1714 Sunset Blvd, USA

If you are around, visit this small fun store. It will give you a laugh about some things they have. Be aware it is a non profit organization to let students write, and it isn’t a full shop with tons of stuff.

We loved this little store. There were so many one of a kind gifts and the store's concept was very unique. For a nerdy fan of time travel, this was a perfect stop on our vacation. The cashier was excellent, very informative and didn't seem to mind me walking off with a shopping basket. ...we did return it after walking a couple blocks and noticing that I had something swinging in my hand. Thank you for the work you do, tutoring students. A very important cause!

Always wanted to come here since it's always popping up on my Google searches of unique places in Los Angeles. Kind of disappointing, was expecting the store to be bigger. Almost felt like this spot was more of a bookstore with some retro items. Did not really feel like I timed traveled. Take their survey and receive a free time travel sticker.

A unique destination worthy store and a non-profit? How could this not be 5 stars. I hope it is successful enough to upgrade to a bigger location some day.

So fun and creative! Every single thing is themed down to the tiniest details. It's a very small store but you can spend a long time in there if you're paying attention! Amazing employees and all the sales help a great cause.

What an amazing store!!. So much to see and do here. Definitely a one of a kind store although there are two locations lol. Staff was friendly and informative. Let us roam around and watched us just laugh at nearly everything in the place. My son loved it and I think might have had a better time. The time travel slushies were broken on the day we went so we came back the day before and enjoyed one...gotta love time travel. If you do use the phone to travel, pick up a time travel survival pack to be safe...saved our skin a couple times now

Such a wonderful little gem. Staff is helpful and patient, and you can often fine yourself there looking over everything for 20+ minutes. There are so many items with each their own little gimmick. Unfortunately, a lot of the stuff is highly priced, and I escaped myself with just a sticker. Anyhow, I highly recommend you drop by even for just a look! You'll be amazed at what you find.

This was a clever idea. It probably wouldn't be a place I would go more than once but it was fun to see the labels they created for stuff you would find at most any souvenir shop. In the back, they have a writing workshop for kids and you can buy their little books. That is what's special about the place.
