“Great selection of classes, but many are full. Only one Peleton bike so fans are often left to find other options or come back at another time. Another Peleton and maybe a sign up could improve the situation for that piece of impacted equipment. No online message board (could not find) to leave comments to management. Dodgy APP keeps failing on my iPhone and the scanner has many fails. All in all I m still registered, and would prefer to have sent this as an email to manager rather than a review”

“I did a walk-in just to have a quick peek today and they fortunately had one spot open! The cats were so friendly and receptive to pets and scratches. The separation of studios further inside the cafe was really cool for individualized socializing. It's also super clean and stocked with toys and seating areas. The decor and cat houses were so cute too!”

“I love this little theater for its great little, often, local shows. I have seen probably a couple dozen shows here over the years. I recommend the first row seating over the VIP tables often since the tables are very close to the stage.
Also, the accessibility bathroom is on the lobby floor, but the majority of the stalls are down some steep stairs.
Parking is atrocious in Chinatown, plan ahead!”

“I went for the Choir Choir Choir show, wow, what an outstanding adventure in song and music.
The staff was so helpful, and very professional, especially the lady at the box office named Manisha, who was so kind to guide me and my date to the doors. I can't believe most of all these folks are volunteers, how incredible!
The food and drinks were delicious, so much healthier than usual concession booths.
This was such a fun experience, I hope to attend more events here in the future.”

“Staff are great, specifical team the checked me in at late afternoon helpful, and pleasant, and well organized. I found it welcoming and lobby area had plently if information abiut sites and places to eat in the area, with everything posted in a engaging fun way, yet profession and lobby and hallways very clean. Did a walk around inspection of the kichen, dinning/common area, bathroom, TV area and everything was exteremly clean and well cared for. I stayed in 5 room (3 others besides myself) and room was clean. Llinens offered were professional laundered and I like new/perfect condition. Many noteable San Fransico sites I found to be within a 1-2 walkable distance. I will definitely stay here when I must travel SF for medical appointments, and recommend to others! Must appreciation to the hard-working staff.”

“Been to this place twice now to fix up my bikes, it's an amazing asset to the community!

Every time I went I learned a lot about bikes that I was missing, not to mention I paid a fraction of what I would have in a full-service bike shop. You get out what you put in, the are mechanics at hand, with varying degrees of experience, but you are expected to do most of the fixing yourself. I found that as long as you are actively trying to fix your bike, even if you are struggling, one (or more) of the mechanics will eventually come by and help out.”

“I have fostered with Toni’s for over two years and their kittens are amazing. They specialize in bottle fed kittens which makes them incredibly friendly and social. Their adoption process is thorough, straight forward and supports everyone involved. They are experts at getting you the right kitty for your family and are incredibly supportive throughout the process ! I love volunteering with them and recommend adopting from them.”

“I wandered into this little boutique while my brother was getting his eyebrows threaded next door, and somehow walked out with one of my favorite memories. The moment I stepped inside, I felt the magic of the place. I'd never seen a shop like this with every piece feeling like it had a soul. I collect artistic cards, so of course I gravitated straight toward the displays and picked one out. Important detail: I hate carrying purses. So my cards and cash live chaotically in my pockets. Reckless? Yes. Will do ? Also yes. So when I go to pull out my debit card, my ID shot out like it had somewhere better to be and slipped perfectly under this massive bookcase. I knelt down to assess the situation--an inch-wide slot leading into a dark abyss. Purse: 1. Me: 0. I briefly told the employee what happened explaining why I was all of a sudden on all fours face to face with the ground, completely expecting maybe a shrug. But Instead, he immediately started removing items, trying to shift the entire bookcase, going above and beyond to retrieve my ID. But it was quickly apparent the it was mission impossible to which I fully accepted. But his pure kindness and concern really touched me and we just quickly started talking about the story behind the boutique. Amazing story, and I ended up buying a handmade cup after the fact. And I'd love to say their kindness inspired me to buy a cup, but let's be honest: I bought it because I felt guilty. (...Though I had been eyeing it before my ID made its dramatic escape so I really did want it). Now that cup sits on my bookcase, and every time I see it, I think of how what could've been a gloomy experience turned into one of my sweetest little memories. And yes, I know I'm making this sound more dramatic than it probably was. But 1) you'd remember this shop too if you stepped foot inside, and 2) I do have a history of unintentionally disturbing the peace in small shops, to which my guilt makes it mandatory to make a purchase, only for those "guilt purchases" to become some of my most treasured things.”

“I cannot thank Pali, Gabe, and all the staff members at Rocket Dog Rescue enough. They made the process of rehoming my dog easier with their kind words, reassurance, and empathy. Also they are great with communication and answering all my questions/concerns.”

“I had two of my French Bulldogs spayed at AFC on 4/8/2024. To say the least, I was very nervous as brachiocephalic breeds, run a higher chance of complications with and from anesthesia. Because of this, most low cost spay/neuter clinics, including local shelters will not accept Frenchies or other brachiocephalic breeds. However, not only did AFC accept my girls, Dr. Goh and her team took EXCEPTIONAL care of both of them! The organization of the entire clinic is stellar, from scheduling (only done online around mid month, so may be a bit of a wait to get an appointment), to drop off and pick up! One of my girls, Paris, bounced right back to normal within 5-6 hrs after picking her up,(I believe a bit too soon), because of this, I was worried about my other girl, London, who took almost 2 days to start acting like herself again. Needless to say, Dr. Goh was absolutely caring, responsive and patient with my after hour concerns. I would like to mention that AFC is a nonprofit clinic who is accepting donations and also has a GoFundMe to help sponsor the move to their new location. If you are local to this wonderful organization, they can also use old newspapers and other types of donations.”

“This is an incredible program that without these hero’s doing the work they do many lives would be lost and costs to taxpayers would increase exponentially in emergency medical services that would manifest without the reduction of harm that they provide. The services provided here range everything from Narcan training and free Narcan provided, medical Care on Thursday Afternoons and wound care, all of the possible harm reduction supplies you might need as well as wound care supplies first aid some hygiene items such as disposable undies and feminine products group support and referral for treatment as well as testing of street drugs so the consumer can make a more informed decision on what is going into their bodies. Restrooms are available (restrooms were still being renovated so they might not be ready just yet) the only thing missing from this location is a safe consumption program. The staff and volunteers are some of the kindest people who have no judgement come as you are!”

“Nice people - But they are Elks, what do you expect!
We dry camped, that is all they offer.
The lodge tour was wonderful!!! What a cool lodge building.
They are a block from Main Street Alameda, lots of different food choices.
Try Signal coffee, you will understand how a small shop does coffee better than next door Peet’s or Starbucks.”

“We came to see a friend perform in Beautiful. What a wonderful show. We happened to be here on a warm evening, which was wonderful. I've been here on other nights when it gets cold when the sun goes down.In short, performances are always great, but dress for the weather to fully enjoy the experience.”

Families appreciate the strong sense of community and the emphasis on social-emotional learning.”

“Words cannot express how grateful I am to the medical team at SPCA for providing such world-class, empathetic, compassionate care to my previous love bug, Chestnut.

He had a critical medical episode due to an underlying condition. I called them ahead of my arriving and they were fully prepared for my arrival, remembered my cat’s name from the call hours before, and acted swiftly to stabilize him.

The veterinarian came in to deliver the news I was sadly expecting, but did it in such a way that honored the decision I knew I needed to make. They gave me all the time in the world to feed him delicious treats and a final meal, hold him, sing to him, and then hold him as he gently went “to sleep.”

While I am heartbroken, the experience was beyond all expectations and they made it possible for my beloved angel to have a dignified, honorable transition.

Thank you, SPCA, for making his end of life a truly gentle and compassionate transition. Thank you for meeting me where I was at, and for walking with me through it all and helping me into my new chapter without my best friend.

Please never stop the work you do. I cannot express how critical it is to our community.”

“Many hidden gems here. Get there early, so much to see and all proceeds support the Oakland museum of California. You do need to really take your time though. So plan for a half a day at least. No junk, great finds.”

“Great place to find art supplies at an affordable price. Parking can be a bit difficult to find on the weekends, and sometimes items are a hit or miss. I would definitely recommend checking it out during the weekday for the best items”

“Of the social services I've encountered in the city, the people here are much better, actually trying, actually actively help people get employment (a friend at a shelter was helped to get a job despite criminal record, smoking weed, etc.), and likely actually help people get housing.Also, kind of a secret, but another org gives out lunch and dinner across the street, and they provide coffee n snacks throughout the day, making it a good place to recharge.”

“I think the square is very good. However, they do not protect their users from scammers, the way I feel they should. People are out here buying products, getting the completed products, and then asking for a refund and Square is giving it without even asking any questions.”

“Storyline church came into my life at the perfect time when I was going through a lot of inner healing and growth in my relationship with God. There is a lot of warmth when you step into the walls of Storyline, one that I certainly wasn't used to from a previous church I went to for years. I prayed about finding a church like this and it almost seemed too good to be true to find it, but God was listening to my prayers and he delivered like He always does. The community is amazing and the church is continuously growing. Pastor Akeem loves to connect with each person who walks through the doors (which is hard to come by with other churches), and the leadership team goes above and beyond in how they connect with all the congregants. It's exciting to see where Storyline is headed this year and I'm so thankful to be here!”

“I went to this book store with my mom. I'm not into books, but my mom is a big reader. I think all the books are donated or they bought. My mom bought three books, just for $4.50. Really cheap books. That's my 5 stars.”
