Lava 9 is my favorite store where I can always find something beautiful to wear. Heidi is always so helpful, and has great taste which is reflected in her store. The prices are reasonable and fair and the quality is high.

I came in to add some holes to my bag’s straps and the lovely woman in the store did it with such precision and care, and didn’t accept any payment for it. I’d rate more if I could for being so nice and generous!

Beautiful assortment of jewelry - was fairly crowded but the young lady at the counter was great at making sure that all customers were quickly and kindly accommodated.

Lava 9 carries local (California) and international accessory, jewelry, and clothing designers. They are very generous to support new artists and designers. You can always find something beautiful and unique here.

Was walking Lilypup looking at all the windows of the closed shops in these crazy times. Saw the orange and black mask in the window at Lava 9, whose windows I always love. Everything I've ever bought here has always become a favourite and a workhorse. Everyone who works in the store is always so friendly and I enjoy chatting with them. I took a chance and emailed, to see if they might be willing to sell it. And lo, yes! They are even setting up an online store (although *we* really like walking to see their window). Heidi, who runs the shop, is awesome. First class. Her daughter walked up my 80 steps and hand delivered the mask. She rocks too!

We have so few clothing, handbag and jewelry shops in Berkeley/Albany. This shop is such a gem. I have purchased winter coats, belts, t-shirts, pants, bags, and of course jewelry here. There jewelry selection is second to none.

This is my favorite window shopping store. I always find unique and affordable earrings here. On my recent trip in I spotted some amazing cicada hanging earrings. The shopping experience is always pleasant each and every time I venture in. This store gives me the wants a lot so I don't go by often because I'm on a budget. I own quite a few cherished jewelry pieces from here and I really love the assortment they carry especially from local artist.

This store is my happy place. There's always something I want and the folks who work there are super patient with my trying all the things on. There's a great variety of modern clothing and jewelry, bags, scarves, hats... all well curated treasures waiting to find the right home. I'm not sure how I'd be well dressed and living in North Berkeley without Lava 9 as my neighborhood boutique!

What a gift for the Solano stroller. This store is full of surprises . . . unique pants, purses and jewelry. I rarely buy jewelry. But there I was, unable to take off this stunning ring that had my name all over it. There are stores you step into because they are on a street where you buy food or stop for vitamins. However, once you experience LAVA, it will become your new destination stop. No question, there will always be something in the store there that will make your wardrobe POP!
