Tl;dr - I'm only writing this review because Target needs more staff if they are going to maintain half the aisles under lockdown. Otherwise, it's going to become not worth shopping here.I shop here frequently because I live in the neighborhood. It is well stocked for its size and it's great for families in terms of the kid aisles and general household, personal care items. The staff are typically very helpful and nice. I understand why they've put so many aisles behind locked cases, but they need more staffing. It's impossible to shop quickly in this store anymore, rendering its former "convenience" for less so. It takes 10 minutes and upwards to get something basic like toothpaste unlocked. The only solution is adding more staff if the locked aisles are staying in place.

Prices are high, store is crammed. Parking lot is crammed and the store is crammed full of Karen's in a rush. It's mostly self checkout. The service counters should not be so close the self check out lines. It creates a problem for customers trying to leave. I couldn't browse through the entire store because I couldn't find any deals, I will say they were pretty well stocked. Long story short, I wouldn't recommend this particular target for anyone. It's poorly designed and the vibe is way off. Everyone is bumping into each other and you'll have to walk up and down an awkward set of steps to get in and or out. Another sad attempt of targer to make a store out of a previous brick and mortar location that is not designed for shopping.

Items in the store consistently ring up at a higher price than what is listed on the shelf.I made two separate trips to pick up a few products. The first time, I thought it was just a mistake in their inventory. I check the price on the shelf, and then noticed that the self checkout rang it up 50 cents higher. I had to wait in a separate line for a person, and they honored the price on the shelf. Not a big deal, but I certainly don't want to be forced to check every single item every single time.On the next trip, I pick up some Triscuits. And they rang up 40 cents higher than listed on the shelf. This time, I just left without purchasing. What are the odds that I pick two consecutive items that have a shelf price mismatch? (someone with a math degree?).I get that in the digital age, the shelf stickers are a pain to keep up to date. Target adjusts their in-store prices quite frequently. In their system, they were able to see the cheaper price, but only after I requested a "price match guarantee" (that term infuriates me when it is a price listed on the shelf in the same store where I am currently shopping).All the employees I spoke to were professional and considerate. But if you are a price shopper, I suggest some place other than Target on University.

Love the huge parking lot which makes picking up prescriptions easy and seamless unlike the downtown Berkeley store. The staff is always friendly! As well there is a Starbucks inside and bathrooms which is so convenient. They also have great sales on a lot of their grocery items, and it's always fresh!

A smaller Target that I often go to for its location convenience. It's quite smaller than the typical Targets given it's within the city of Berkeley. And given that it's a Target, not too much to note except these: The store is generally self-checkout unless you buy alcohol. Some items are often unstocked, which is the only reason I'm docking a star. Specifically dairy -- I've gone here for milk a few times but left without any. Every interaction I've had with every employee here has been super positive. Once one of the workers even let me know when the milk shipment was going to restock. Have fun on your Target run!

This is definitely the smallest target I've seen (at least from the outside, I didn't even make it in lol) but I've never experienced such a small parking lot or just a Target of this size in general. Anyways, ordered a gift for Christmas from this location for pick up and it was ready within 1 hour. When showing up for pick up the employees were outside within 5 minutes (even during Black Friday/cyber Monday weekend deals) It was super easy to find the drive up area and although small, there was a lot of parking available in the lot. Would return and step foot inside this time to check it out

A smaller Target store in Berkeley, I guess this was the only way to fit one in here!! Although small, they pack a lot in here, there is also a CVS pharmacy inside the store. The good thing is you won't spend too much time in here because if they have what you want, you can be up out quick. If they don't have what you want, you can still be outta here quickly, not a browsing type of store. The parking lot is behind the store, and it is small also. Target prices are better than convenience store prices with much better selection, so I looked at this as a larger convenience store. Works for me!!

came here when my local target didn't have a shirt I was looking for. the employees seem to be nice/helpful. this target was pretty well stocked compared to my local target. but, the downside is they have no dvds/cds section. but there's the bigger targets for that. that's pretty much it.

Who doesn't love Target? I was visiting this area and found this Target and was very pleased with this store. Truly a great store and very clean and organized. The staff was quite nice and was eager to direct me to the item I could not find. Overall, great store and a good place to get what you need.

This Target is more like a third of a Target, with a fake Starbucks inside, and a CVS. During our visits the CVS has always been perfectly fine - unless you're filling a prescription it's exactly like visiting a pharmacy aisle in Target. The Starbucks is a hard pass though. The cashier never fully wears a mask and tends to get wrapped up in chatting with visitors. The Target itself is quite nice. It's always clean and orderly, and while it's not as fully flushed out as the Target near Richmond, it does the job if you just need something simple like bedding, or clothing. I don't love the way checkout / self check out is set up, with you having to be in the same line for both with very little room if you have quite a few things to bag (thus the loss of a star). But there's always space in the parking lot and hand sanitizer available on your way out. We're not here that often, but when we visit this Target it solidly does the job.

My roommate and I went to target today to pick up some household necessities. When we checked out, we both had gift cards - but both of the gift cards had big problems. Julio went above and beyond to make sure that we could use our gift cards and went through the process of having us return everything and change the payment method. When my gift card ultimately didn't end up working, he gave me a new gift card with a similar dollar value to replace it. All while being incredibly sympathetic and kind. Thanks Julio!!! (Give this man a raise!)

For those who live in the neighborhood this store is a gift--a little of almost everything you need. But I want especially to shout out to the customer service. There is a person often greeting who is the friendliest person I have ever encountered. How she keeps that bright and smiling energy up for hours on end is astounding. Kudos!

This Target is the best Target in the Bay Area. It is convenient and carries great products. My only question is why do you guys have people bugging us trying to sell phone service and being extremely rude to customers?

I like to order online for pickup. I'd been going to another location, but came here for the first time since I had to stop by my office nearby. It is small, but my kitty litter, dog treats, sodas, and my favorite toilet paper we're ready for pickup. There's curbside service I passed on. The parking lot is packed and virtually a parking accident waiting to happen. I doubt I'll be back.
