“Incredible experience!! As a first time lehenga shopper, they were very helpful and patient - not to mention they turned around some small alterations within 30 mins of purchasing (I got lucky that their seamstress was in on a day she wasn’t supposed to be, but regardless the customer service is unmatched!). Definitely check them out if you need to do some last minute shopping.”
“This is a great place to shop for all things baseball apparel!!! And the customer service is through the roof!!! Please talk to my boy Nick he’ll hook you up and point you in the right direction.”
“Dope Era is, No Question the Saucest clothing store I have ever had the pleasure of stepping inside the front door of. Fab is the Man also No Question, I'm not saying that because I know the guy or because we were both raised in North Oakland. I'm saying that because it's a great store that offers a great experience and mainly because your drip will be turned up to a Million degrees after you throw on the gear you just purchased from Dope Era Believe it! P.s. I also wanted to say or more like needed to say that them cats working in there M or F are top of the line individuals that refused to let an old head like myself walk out of there without his drip dripping off his frame in a proper way and that's is coming from a who has been dripping candy clean since before drip was wet and dripping yadada mean? But ah any-how it was really really real up in that thang I mean these cats are experts in drip or in other words the ladies and gentlemen of said establishment are all themselves what I would consider connoisseurs of fine haberdashery and you can't go wrong if was to fall up in 'nere and take a gander at what the player has to offer, you will be glad you did Mackin, that's on C'tas. Oh who am I you asked? The name happens to be Scottie Thurman , one of the few Oakland Hoop legends from Bushrod Park in The North side of Oakland, I have always had the utmost respect and admiration for Mistah Fab and when we finally met he was like , yeah I know you by name only, your reputation proceeds you, they say you was a real problem for some hall of famers back in the day , it was said by someone and I won't say who that you someone who is also an Oakland Hoop Legend Superstar that you never lost to him or anyone a one v one match including the person who I HEARD say this and he won't have a problem with me saying his name, Hook Mitchell the Super Duper Star when it comes to street Hoop legends he is number #1 and he is one of your best friends no hook said you was his brother and that when you get it going your truly Unstoppable and he said you could go full speed without ever stopping and he Called you Y.C. what does Y.C. mean? It means Yo... ..”

“Went in with an appointment with Val S. and they were amazing! They were attentive and gentle and so careful! They have such good energy and I trusted them as soon as I sat down and felt so at ease. Val took such good care of me and I felt truly heard and seen. They are so talented and I would recommend everyone to work with Val! They are amazing, can't say enough about them! I hope they open their own shop one day because their energy was immaculate!”
“This business goes above and beyond for customers. Years ago when they were at their old location, an OUSD high school student of mine was interested in clothing design and small business. My husband liked this brand, so my student and I reached out to Oakland’s Own’s owner. Right away, he was receptive, warm, and encouraging.
We’ve since bought shirts and a jacket for ourselves and family.
More recently, I ordered kids’ clothing. They communicated a restock delay and EVEN BROUGHT IT TO ME to make sure I could gift it in time to out of town family.
I can’t recommend this business enough. And everything we’ve ordered has always been fire. The designs are hella unique and consistently great quality. Plus it’s run by good folks!
Thank you Oakland’s Own. Hella proud to rep the Town with your gear.”
“Beautiful, curated shop with Mid-Century Modern aesthetics, high quality clothing, and possibly the sweetest owners (+ Harold the dog) I've ever met. They were eager to talk about the materials and manufacturing processes of the pieces I pointed out and were quick to offer a place to put my bags and even enjoy some refreshments. Talking with them felt natural and enjoyable, and it never felt as if they were pressuring me to buy anything...although I did walk out with a killer Cawley coat that I got about 12 compliments on over the weekend. The prices are high but absolutely justified for the quality (these are items you keep for life), and the owners genuinely care about promoting smaller brands over the fashion giants you may see at Nordstrom or the mall. If you can afford their pieces, they are worth the splurge! And even if you can't, the place and people are still well worth the trip. :)”
“I ran into Margaret O'Leary on Filmore in a rush but wanted to see if they had something cute to wear to the theater. Teresa picked out things for me to try on in a flash. She styled me head to toe and I bought everything. I look forward to working with Teresa in the future for future events!”
“Love Love Love!!! This line of clothing! High quality! The leather vests are soft, but durable and very nicely made! I love everything about this store! The owners are pretty awesome also!!!”
“Great selection of oakland gear, caps,shirts, jackets and sweaters. My only complaint is they do not offer senior or veteran discounts. Would not recommend to a fellow vet!”
“Best clothing store in SF. Howard and Mary are so meticulous about their selections, their clothing is perfectly curated to perfection. Not to mention, all of their employees are truly gems of humans.”
“Julie at Maple Street Denim is incredible at determining fit and talking through differences between the denim brands and designs that her store carries. I found a pair of denim that was perfect for me and my first pair of selvedge! In love with the fit -- definitely trust Julie to help you find a size that works. Maybe due to modern vanity sizing, but I had to go 2-3 sizes down from my normal denim. I'll be back for repairs for my well-loved pairs :)”
“Pretty penny is my favorite! Every visit I find an incredible selection of clothes, jewelry and accessories at totally fair prices. The owner, Sarah, is always friendly and helpful.”
“A must visit if you're shopping along Valencia St! They're a longtime Bay Area brand that's very size inclusive! All fun prints in a variety of styles, dresses, jumpsuits, shirts, etc.”
“We had a beyond lovely time at the Rotunda! I took a friend here for lunch for her birthday. This gem of a restaurant never disappoints. Thank you for another incredibly charming experience.”

“I love everything about this shop! The staff is so welcoming and helpful, and it's the perfect place to buy gifts (especially for myself). They have a wide variety of products, and most of them are from other small businesses (some of which are local). I couldn't recommend this place enough!”
“UPDATE: October 25- They are still open for business-
*happy dance*
Unique,Cool, & Fun is how I would describe this business..
Terrasol is now located in Noe Valley right on Castro.Good vibes, good energy...I've been shopping here off and on since they were first located on Larkin @ Sutter with mainly botanicals and rare vintage finds.The cutest shop ever with so many interesting and cool things to see, it can be a bit overwhelming at times. I literally want to buy EVERYTHING whenever I come in here.! LOL.
The windows are always very creative & eye catching . And it never fails that I always see something I just have to have. Please do yourself a favor and support this fine local business before some greedy ass SF landlord makes it near impossible for them to stick around and are forced to shut down . One of the last remaining cool & original OG businesses left in The City.
I will cry the day they close for good. ⚜️?️?”
“My first time walking in the store I fell in love with the selection of unique merchandise and the owner - Trisha.
I bought San Francisco icon pins to take to Hungary for gifts. Trish was accommodating to pins that I only like in the set. I orders 100?
I also bought couple of items. I got so many complements on my jacket.
I will be checking new merchandise every week?”
“these guys are very cool and their reasonable with the returns. I had a situation where my mother was Hurtt and I went to visit her long story short to stay put me out over my return. But the manager working there was kind enough to return the item, of course the item had tags and was never used and I’m sure they had all kinds of customers for the jacket, but the point is that was cool of them”
“An absolutely charming little shop with a great selection of new and vintage clothing, home goods etc. The owner was very friendly and kind. I highly recommend this boutique when visiting beautiful San Francisco!”
“Had a great experience here. The customer service was outstanding and they honored their Iron Clad guarantee. Andi, who was on their fourth day as a new hire, went above and beyond with their knowledge and service. Great hire y’all! I’ll be back to this Patagonia store 100%!”
“This spot is dope. High quality goods all around. Good music and the employees are helpful. My cousin couldn’t afford the shoes he wanted but they offered him $15 off the listed price. They have some stuff marked 30-50% off too. I copped a brand new pair of clean AF1s for $80”
“Can’t say enough good things about this place. Coffee and teas are professionally done weighing and measurement great machines. The cycling ? clothing is 10/10They also have fitting rooms”
“We were visiting on our way home to Honolulu and stopped into this quaint clothing shop in February. I found a tropical/ethnic bathing suit on a rack with others and asked if it was on sale like the others were marked. The nice man told me the price and I bought it instantly. I've worn it at our pool at home and love it. Can't want to need another one and shop online. Thanks for your friendly staff and great men's clothing items... Aloha~”
“Customer service here was good for once. It was nice to walk into a Dietes discount store and they have a wide selection of everything you want. I will return as a satisfied, customer.”
“This little shop had a cool selection of high quality brands and local made items. Would highly recommend if you're looking for interesting prints, and colors that aren't boring neutrals! I bought two bandanas that are totally unique and lovely quality.”
“Love the dresses! Great style. Fabulous prints. Well made. I’m hooked. Time to get out of my all black routine. And the store staff are lovely. Terrific customer service.”
“This boutique is a hidden gem. They have soo many cute clothes and accessories. I literally love everything I’ve bought here and continue to come back for more. Thank you Victoria and VBoutique for the best shopping experience!!!”
“A lovely and well curated little shop in Albany. Just steps from Solano Ave but easy to miss on a side street, this place is a delight. They have ceramics, incense, jewelry, perfumes, body wash, cards, small gifts. I think I saw granola, olive oil and a few cookbooks. They also have a good selection of gently used clothes, shoes, and bags. Kind people behind the counter. Just a wonderful place all round. I hope this store stays for a long time to come!”
