“Knowledgeable rep helped me narrow down to 1 from 3 running trainers I was eyeing before I got into the store. The Berkeley RR is great! They guys are sincere about their return policy.”
“The bike service I received was excellent! Expert advice, quick service, cost savings as a Basementeer; all my concerns embarking on the AlC ride were taken care of quickly! And I noticed race posters of running races I follow in the shoe department! Thanks for all your local support Berkeley Sports Basement!”
“Super cool facilities, friendly members and stellar coaches make for great padel and pickleball! Love the experience here which is evolving as they expand. So glad I decided to try something new. Now I am hooked!”
“I was a big fan of this place years ago when I lived in the neighborhood, and, recently, needing some parts for an older bike, I decided to cross town and see if they could help. The parts department was fast and knowledgable. I left the store with the right parts--no guesswork--for about what I would have paid at the cheapest site online. They make it easy to support local businesses!”
“I absolutely love this store! The Dainese gear is top-notch in both quality and style. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and always ready to help with any questions. I find myself stopping by almost every time I’m in the city. Plus, they often have fantastic deals in-store, making it even better!”
“Had a great experience at Sports Basement yesterday—came in to return shoes, and De went above and beyond to help us. He was super patient and supportive, taking the time to track down the transaction. Really appreciated the exceptional service!”
“I’m new to golf and was looking for a place to help set up my golf clubs. Read nothing but good things about GRIP IT. I meet AJ he went above and beyond helping me and answering the questions I had. Definitely recommend coming in.”
“The person who helped me choose running shoes at Renegade was so great! I am just starting as a runner and noticed my feet tend to roll out, so I wanted some help choosing new shoes. The guy asked a lot of questions and gave me four options that took into account both my concerns and also my previous shoes. I have been so happy with the ones I got. Also, really appreciated that all the pairs he brought out were in the same reasonable price range so I didn’t have to evaluate value in a product that I don’t know anything about. I’m an active non-athlete so I am often doing hobbies and sports that I only know a little bit about, and I really appreciate when people who are experts are just kind and non-judgmental!”
“I coach a high school XC team and Bev at transports graciously donated a number of lightly worn running shoes last year. This store is great and deserves the support of the running community.”
“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”
“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”
“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%!”
“I had a great experience at the beginner wind surfing lesson. The instructor, Mark, really knew his stuff and was a great teacher. Only $50 for a 2 hour hire is also great.”

“Limited access (check their website for special access for seniors, AAA, etc). Good selection of outdoor sports clothing, tents, duffels, etc. They carry several brands in addition to Columbia. Very well kept up and clean.”
“My first experience with jujitsu and I've found the vibe really welcoming and educational. Members and coaches are kind and I've been able to hop right into classes and learn a lot while getting good workouts.”
“San Francisco Giants gift store
This is a shop where you can purchase various souvenirs.
Unfortunately, there is no bathroom.
Overall, it is well organized, but the staff service needs some improvement.
Please note that since it is a major league, the price is a bit higher than expected.”
“As I company, I'm a big fan of T9. Love their brand, their products, their real-women athlete models. I had my first in-store experience in years when I came in to return something that I ordered online which didn't fit. The store did not disappoint. The associate who helped me was assisting others when I walked in, so I looked around for my replacement jumper. They didn't have it, but it was no problem. Within a few minutes, the T9 associate had processed my return, ordered another in the right size, and helped me order a pair of shorts I'd been eying in the catalogue (after trying on the size and deciding on a slightly different length and color). Both would get delivered to me at home for no delivery fee. I'm not sure how much the return and second delivery charges would have been, but I was happy to not find out. Now I'm so excited about my new summer jumper and shorts that will be coming soon!”
“It is the best kite boarding shop in San Francisco. My son is passionate about this sport and always finds everything he needs to practice this sport in Calikites. The customer service is excellent and the store is super cute!”
“Decided to take the plunge (well many plunges) and learn to wing foil. Matt was an awesome instructor for my first lesson. I was hooked. The next day, I met with Jane to buy gear. She was very patient ( as I barely knew which end was up ) and made recommendations for an appropriate board and wing for my size. Again, she remained very patient as she walked me through the set up and inflation process. We were rewarded at the end of our session with a beautiful onshore wind and we were both able to get out on the water. (Well, I was more in than on). There is nothing that can compare to the personal service provided by Boardsports California. As I progress, and my equipment needs change, I will be consulting with Boardsports (by phone , chat or Zoom) since I’m not local to the Bay Area) . They are experts on the water and experts in passing their knowledge to their customers.”
“I bought a jacket online for a great price that needed repairs, knowing that fjallraven offers service on their items.
Brought it here and it was finished within about a week, at no cost to me and very little fuss, I just filled out a form at the store and dropped it off. The store associates were friendly. Will definitely stop by again to test out their other items.”

“This rating is for the level of service at Vuori, in particular Gabby who was just wonderful. I'm new to Vuori so I had a lot of questions and it was my first time trying things on. Gabby worked tirelessly to offer different options and was very knowledgable regarding the different styles. It's so refreshing to have this kind of experience in retail these days.”

“The fellas over at Liberal Fishing Tackle and Loan are TOP NOTCH. Don't let the rough side of town discourage you from visiting. I promise you it is safe and the crew WILL take GREAT care of you. They offer EXTREMELY fair prices on everything. I will say that I was pleasantly surprised at the selection of stuff ESPECIALLY the guitars!!! Seriously though, I am not being too "liberal" when I say these guys are worth every minute and every dime if you are looking, not only to pawn, sell or trade, but GREAT SELECTION of items and what a place to get FISHING GEAR too!! It's seriously like a big man cave of cool stuff only here, you can buy whatever you like. I sound like a dang infomercial. Hahaha....”

“Lovely and soft clothing for working out, yoga or just hanging out at home. I got matching pants and hoodie. My sales associate was Madison, very patient and helpful and sweet, helped me choose exactly what suited me.”
“We feel so lucky to have Soccer Post in our local area. Tom is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He is a seasoned pro with all things soccer gear related. We can always count on the Soccer Post to make sure our players are well equipped each and every season. Professional knowledge and service is unrivaled and cannot be found online or at a big-box store. Support a local business, support Alameda Soccer Post. You will be well taken care of.”
“Stopped by the Athleta store yesterday in a total rush, needed a pair of pants and a tee immediately and had to wear them out the door lol. Found exactly what I needed, got a discount, and left super happy. Huge shoutout to Coco (you're the best!). She was so kind and helpful, and totally saved me by finding the pants in my size.”
“Is a family business. They offer check cashing, money transfers to Mexico, package delivery services to Mexico. They have random sports where especially soccer and they sell tickets to all the San Jose convention center dances for the locals convenience at a better price than Ticketmaster. Very nice family. Please support your local businesses.”
“Give me really good in-depth explanations about Pickleball and tennis. They helped me find the right thing for me for my level. There’s no better store in the tri-state area.”
