“I have been a customer of Ambiance for almost 15 years. They have such a great and unique selection of clothing at various prices points - and something for every occasion! The owner has been nothing but friendly as well as the other gals who work in the store. The customer service is top notch - I had fallen in love with a pair of boots from there, but I struggle with boots because I have a wide calf. The owner was so helpful and ended up being able to custom order me the boots with a calf width that would fit. I LOVE THEM!! I have since moved out of the area, but I always get check in's from the staff on new arrivals or things I might like based on my purchase history. I appreciate this so much!! Love this store!!”
“Friendly, patient and knowledgable service. Extensive selection of men and women's shoes. Frequent top of the line shoe sales My husband and I would not go shoe shopping anywhere else.”
“We are from out of the area and purchased some Uggs for one of our clients back home. They did not fit and on our next trip back to Pismo we stopped by and received credit with no problems. Lucas went above and beyond to find my wife the Birkenstock sandals she fell in love with that were no longer in stock. Thank you Lucas and Shoe Surfing for everything! Great local shoe store!! Buy local!!”
“I love this company, so happy they have one here in SAN LUIS OBISPO since they closed they one in SF where I just moved from. I had a pair of Great New Balance Shoes that I returned after a week or so since the stitching was coming apart. Great shoes, never had this issue before. They took them back no problem and mailed me a replacement pair Super Fast!! The salesperson was very helpful, just an absolute dear…☺️”
“Blane helped me pick out the perfect shoes and he was so nice and helpful. I had the BEST experience!! I only wish I lived closer so I could go more often! Would definitely recommend this location to all of my friends. Thank you Blane!!! You deserve a raise!!!!!”
“I gave 5 stars to this store because the employees were so helpful. There were shoes everywhere. You could tell they had just received a large shipment. They were working to stock shelves as fast as they could. But they stopped to assist customers . Very courteous, professional. Although they did not have my husbands size, I will be back. Lots of styles to choose from.”
“The guys in here were super helpful and knowledgeable. Great salesmen who suggested me some good stuff. They're also very personable and gave us tourist places to check while we were in the area ?”
“Fine menswear with exceptional service. The sales team in SLO are very helpful. I've managed to find several brands of high-quality for my male relatives. They're very happy and impressed with my gifts.”
“what a truly fantastic business. everyone in the store had great energy. the original family still owns the joint. they made sure everything was top notch (and added a top notch to the sandals).
will definitely be back”
“First off been coming here for about 20 years. The prices are extremely good, especially when on sale. Today I purchased a boy shorts and a Tee shirt size 14 for $11, now how can you beat that. My girlfriend also got a cute outfit for a niece size 8 and some cute sunglasses. We were both happy with our selection. Lots to choose from especially for young children and babies. Only one employee in the store but she was helpful.”
“Loved my shopping experience at the SLO Anthro! Rebecca was amazingly thorough, knowledgeable, and full of positive energy in my search for the perfect pair of jeans. She knows her inventory! Made a typically frustrating process a total delight. Found exactly what I wanted and more! Best styling help ever!”
“Isaiah helped me today, took his time with me I got on the treadmill originally came for neutral shoes but from my running on treadmill he recommended stability shoes and went another round on treadmill that man was patient very well employee.”
“Super thoughtful and helpful staff/shop assistants! Everyone was extremely nice and took their time to check on sneakers and suggest one with what I was most likely to find comfortable. Hunter was especially helpful ♥️
Store is big and super well organized, lots of variety for men and women.”
“The customer service is unmatched. We had some issues getting my husband a boot that fit well on both feet. Not only did they help us find the best boot, but they also were able to stretch out the boot that was a little tighter. They also recommended some of the best insoles I've ever seen. The insole maker is a SLO local, and the craftsmanship is remarkable”
“I was looking for a dress for a wedding with my two toddlers and they were running wild not letting me look, their employee Lucy didn’t get annoyed, she helped me with my kids and looking for the right outfit. I have never felt so seen by a stranger, thank you so much Lucy!”
“Thank you to Ramiro; he directed me to the BOGO sale the minute I walked in the door and provided some input on outfit selection! Huge Help. Give that man a RAISE!”

“Swung by to make an exchange and to pick up a pair of shoes for my kid and encountered fantastic customer service (Jacob). He was so nice and helpful. Plenty of great inventory too.”
“My nephew and myself, attend the shoe palace every month, the men and woman that are working are very helpful, and to it that what we are looking for in color, style, Etc is available, and I love what you have in stock, thank you management and employee's. See you soon.”
“We had the most fantastic time at the store today, thanks to a great employee.
We did not catch her name but she was so helpful and lovely.
When we came in, we told her my husband's size and she showed us the section with the wide and extra wide shoes. She told us to let her know if we couldn't find his size and she would look in the back. It was no trouble. We thanked her, we started looking, and she disappeared.
We found one pair of shoes, then she appeared out of nowhere with another that she had pulled from the back. They ended up being just what he wanted. He would have gotten the same style he has worn for years but these were much nicer looking and so comfortable. Then we were looking at some others and talking to her, and she whipped another pair out of nowhere that was also his size and also just what he needed for a comfortable dressy but not formal shoe.
She was friendly and kind, and so helpful. It was like having a personal shoe shopper. She was efficient, too, the whole time we were talking she was organizing shoes and working so I was really surprised when she pulled that second pair of shoes out.
After that she went on break and we weren't able to thank her. She was a lovely young woman with long dark hair.
We were impressed with the wide selection, especially of W/XW shoes. The store was clean and there was lots to choose from.
Very happy with the three pairs of shoes we purchased today and thanks again. We will be back!”
“This store is great. They have a very good selection of high quality, fashionable clothing. My daughter bought a $400 Michael Kors leather bag for $100 which was then further discounted by another 70%. She walked out the door with it for $30 plus tax. I bought two pairs of high-quality, comfortable jeans by Tommy Bahama and Lucky for less than $150. I'll be going back for a leather jacket soon.”
“This place has so much to offer and the service is fantastic. No matter who's working they're always so helpful. I tried on a couple of things today unfortunately didn't work for me. But my girlfriend bought a couple of things off the sale rack so that was good. They have dresses and sweaters, flip-flops things for young children, purses, just about anything you could want. I've bought plenty of gifts and stuff for myself over the years.”
