I love this place. Please don’t be discouraged by the tainted reviews by two members that are affiliated with one that was shoplifting, and the other that was taken away by the police that was claiming an ADA violation… Always two sides of the story. The gentleman that owns the shop is a true gentleman, and treats everyone with respect (law abiding)- I am frustrated that Google allows people to review this business, that our shoplifters and break the law and tell wild stories… (cowards behind a keyboard ) This is a wonderful business, and I highly recommend!

Owner is always friendly when we come a few times a year as we come all the way from Castro Valley. We like to stop by here after getting my teeth cleaned at Benicia Dental. Always has a wide selection to choose from with reasonable prices. I'm a reseller myself and typically pick up at flea markets and garage sales, but love going here for personal or gifts for friends.

The owner at Pocket Monkey Vintage is very knowledgeable about the vintage clothing he sells. Love hearing the history behind items and the huge selection provides a lot to choose from. Will be back again!

I used to love this place. It’s an amazing small business that sold good vintage stuff but with that being said he is not the best at social media. He doxxed a minor by posting a photo of her phone number and a photo of her, publicly shaming her for something she didn’t do. Genuinely really inappropriate behavior which sucks cause I loved this business and the owner.

TERRIBLE service! TERRIBLE racist owner! Very overpriced and not worth its value! This place is very overhyped and not worth it at all. Me and many other has experienced racism and discrimination, and not only once. I was at the store yesterday while I overhear him accusing a group of stealing(which they were not) and decided to post it online like a child, and will not show any proof of them stealing. He post many things online OUT OF CONTEXT and making him look like a saint! He only keeps posting about her and her family because they called him out to be racist! He once denied service to a lady with a service dog! He posted a minors instagram account and a number accusing her of threatening him(not even her number). The owner is a very unfriendly guy who spreads misinformation online(MULTIPLE TIMES) of minors. I have felt like I was less than the other people in the store other times I have been there only because of my skin color! He judged people straight away either of their skin color and if they look like they have money or not. Also very rude to teenagers! I am now coming out about this because now I realize I am not the only one who went through this with this store! NEVER shop from this store!

Really awesome store, mostly men's clothes but still a huge variety, lots of cool vintage jeans and jackets. The owner was super helpful and sweet, definitely recommend checking it out.

The owner of this business is a scourge in his community. He chased a disabled person and posted her picture on line publicly shaming her. He personally has attacked other business on the same street and even kids aren't off limits. I have also been personally harassed by this person thru private messaging. This guy has a real bad attitude

DO NOT SHOP HERE!! The owner discriminates against people with disabilities. Threw my friend out of his store when she entered with her service dog(not emotional support dog). Her dog was wearing her labeled Service Dog Vest, she had all the paper work to show she was not a pet, but in fact a medically necessary dog to help her have a normal life. After trying to educate him about her service dog, he flew into a rage, and called police. After both sides talked with police, the officer came to my friend and told her that the shop owner could not stop her dog from coming in, but could refuse service to her. What a crock..the owner discriminated 100% against a person with a disability. It got even worse when he posted on Instagram my friends photo and saying that she should be wearing the vest, not her dog..calling her a Karen. So rude and hurtful. there are multiple friends who took screenshots of his inappropriate behavior, and the ADA has been contacted. I hope the ADA hits him with every violation they can. My friend was beyond humiliated and sad that she was treated this way. the shop owner needs to close his business if he can’t behave any better. He should be ashamed. Just fair warning..he may also discriminate against people of color or anyone other person he wishes to pick on. Discrimination is wrong on all levels!

Owner bullied disabled woman with service dog to the point of tears. Absolutely avoid this place at all costs - there are many vintage places that deserve your support - this is not one of them. To the owner, just do better.

WARNING WARNING WARNING!!! If you are disabled or have a loved one who is disabled the owner of this store discriminates and bullies disabled people to tears!!!My best friend who has a service dog(not an emotional support dog), fully papered with vest that states service dog. This dog is a life saving medical necessity for her..not a pet. She attempted to shop a few days ago at this business and was refused entrance by the owner who said no pets. She attempted to explain that her service dog is NOT a pet but he wouldn't hear about it. Starting raging at her and called the police. The police showed up and basically told my friend that the owner couldn't stop her service dog from entering but could refuse service to her. WTF kind of loophole is this owner game playing? What if he allowed the wheelchair but not it's occupant..or the oxygen tank but not it's person etc etc? Are people of color next? She left crying and humiliated. She had waited 2 years for her service dog and her quality of life has changed dramatically until this event. What he did was illegal. And to make matters worse he went on his instagram and said horrible things about my friend publicly shaming her with things like she should be wearing the vest not the dog and posted her photo. There are screenshots of his post and he has been reported to the ADA. Please do not shop here, he does not deserve anyone's business or money! He should be ashamed treating a person with a disability the way he did. DISCRIMINATION cannot be tolerated!
