“I recently purchased a Gry and Sif wool felt mouse from humankind snd absolutely love her. I have 2 others that I purchased, also from humankind and the quality is amazing, detailed and adorable!! I would highly recommend purchasing from them.”
“My favorite shop in downtown. A cool mix of Western-style goods and vintage finds. The old school Atascadero High, Paso Robles High, and Templeton High gear on the walls made for great classic decor, and the FFA jackets from local chapters added to the mom-and-pop charm. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the store was full of gems. A must-visit if you’re into unique, nostalgic pieces.”
“Absolutely LOVE this store ! Everything is so beautiful, and matches my style ! On top of that the owner and her husband are amazing and super nice . My sister purchased a shirt from here , unfortunately it did not fit. We went to exchange it the day we were leaving , but they were closed . Bonnie the owner of the store across the street at “Beach Bum” informed us the owner of x-pressions just had a baby and was able to get ahold of her number us . ( also a great place to shop with amazing customer service!) We called her and left a message and just as we were getting ready to head on the road back home she called us and was able to come down to the store just to help us with an exchange . We were extremely grateful for this ! She just had a baby , and took the time to drive to the store just to help a customer with an exchange. We will never forget this kind gesture! My husband and I came back to visit a few months later for a vacation for my birthday and talked with her husband and he remembered us from the exchange we did 5 months ago, and was so kind to throw in some glasses I was purchasing for free for my birthday! Extremely kind and great people. Definitely a favorite store of mines to visit everytime !”

“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!!”
“I procrastinated on finding a dress to a wedding. Came in looking for a dress. The woman in the store was super helpful and patient. It was a smaller boutique, but lots of options. They can order dresses if needed.”

“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.”
“Farm supply in San Luis Obispo is the flagship. if I have any extra time I love going through the store because of the atmosphere and the friendly service. They're very helpful as the selection in the stores pretty big. I love walking around and looking for a good value. The only problem is every time I go in there I usually leave with something. :-))”
“Great vintage style women's clothes. I couldn't decide on a dress so I bought all 3 and a romper. I wore 1 to the Pismo car show and got soooo many compliments. I wish I could wear these dresses daily. They are beautifully made.”
“This lovely little shop has a variety of amazing, beautiful products. The staff and owners were so helpful and extremely friendly. Every experience I have had here has been exceptional. I strongly suggest going to this quaint shop in downtown San Luis Obispo, I will definitely be going back ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Shopped here for the first time yesterday coming home from a trip to Cambria. What a fun store. I can’t believe the variety in clothing and the amount of inventory. Such cute clothes AND they have Johnny Was! I bought all kinds of wonderful things! Love this store!!!”
“Such a cute shop with fun trinkets and the cutest clothes! Stopped here during a weekend getaway and found some gifts to take home. Mackenzie was very sweet from the moment we walked in, giving the shop that friendly small business feel. She gently packaged up our items and sent us on our way with a smile. Thank you!”
“My favorite store to shop at in Grover. The manager is my favorite he really takes care of us. This store they are so polite and very respectful . I've learned that a lot of these place the employees wear clothes that are sold there so someday have weed on themAnd potty words but hey that's what the stores sell.people need to realize . Love this store. WillOnly shop this Zumiez”
“Good selection good prices at this location even better service really want to shout out Sam who went above and beyond to help me with a purchase two days in a row thanks again Sam ✋”
“Love love Athleta. Everything is B Corp- so I trust that it is substantially made and with fair labor practices. I love the quality and that I can wash and dry everything without worries. Athleta has clothes for my everyday and my office job. Honestly it’s all I wear to work. This location also has the best staff who are so kind and friendly. Other than second hand- this is the only place I am comfortable buying clothes from.”
“A great selection of high quality clothing from small to plus sized! Great gift and accessory items too, and a terrific seating area for those waiting while you shop and try things on!”
“I always love coming into this store! The staff is so friendly, especially Stevie and Isaac. They are very helpful, attentive, and always in a good mood. They always make me feel welcome every time I go. Both have great knowledge of the store as well which is always a plus to me. I will be back this weekend again!”
“Big thanks to Cooper for his choice of 514 jeans for the shoe style I picked and major thanks to Danae for being patient with me through my color choices and try-ons!”
“This is a great find. My girlfriend who gets lots of praise on her outfits, loves this shop. She always has to shop there whenever we are around Pismo Beach. She always seems to find unique clothes that you can’t find in department stores. This trip she found & bought two dresses, two jackets & one scarf. It is a small shop, has quality goods & the owner Bob is very friendly & easy going. He leaves you alone, but is ready assist with anything you need.”
“This is my first time ever writing a review on a place that I will probably only get to be at once, but this woman in the shop was so amazing and very kind and very patient with me when trying to buy stuff from her shop That it made me want to keep buying more and more stuff from her shop. It may be small, but the person that’s in that shop has a huge heart, and I’ll definitely try my best to go back and see her again.”
“This shop is filled with lots of beautiful things. I've been shopping there for years and always seem to find something pretty to wear. Their Johnny Was clothes are always fun and accessories are unique. They always have a sale rack for those looking for a deal. The owners and employees are friendly and are quick to greet those coming in to look around. The only thing that can be difficult is finding parking right in front as the downtown area keeps taking away parking spaces. Good news, there is a parking structure a block or so away. So if you are in San Luis and want something new to wear, whether trendy or classic, stop in and check them out.”
“I came in and I was helped by one of the girls on the staff, Zoe. I was able to find the perfect outfit I needed for a gift. Super cute clothes and amazing customer service!”
“Love this store !!! Such an amazing selection and great prices. Kristen the owner is so helpful with suggestions and takes her time to service customers. Do yourself a favor and check out this boutique.”
“If you want to know what makes SLO a place people want to live, that spirit is alive and well here! One of my wife's favorite little shops. Just the friendliest staff who care deeply about the city and the people in it. Support the locals!”
“ALEX and VERONICA Gave great customer service they helped both my daughters pick outfits especially Veronica she was very patient and they both went out of their way to make my youngest who hates shopping comfortable♥️”
“Staff here is so great. She helped us find the perfect bra in just the right size. The winner ended up being one she had tracked down versus some others we were trying on. Chill atmosphere, great selection, and you can probably find what you need!”

“Pippa & Ky had a lot of beautiful dresses for such a good price! I'm surprised the place didn't have a Yelp page yet. It was organized, clean, and welcoming! Definitely worth stopping by and looking at their clothes :)”
“A must see this store. There are lots of so called boutiques on this street but… Definitely more of an upscale experience. I ended up leaving with a faux suede jacket from BB Dakota, a brand I had never heard of. I enjoyed the experience and the clothes were nice, from many different brands, and I would definitely go back.”
“This is a little tourist shop, the owner was very friendly and we enjoyed buying a couple of shirts and stickers. Very low-key place and highly recommend to get some nice souvenirs”
