“Awesome first experience here!
Came in for a saddle (saw they carried specialized saddles which were recommended to me) and got excellent service from everyone in the store. Chris especially helped me and went the extra mile to make sure it really fit for me after it was installed and that my bike was adjusted properly and accommodated my injuries. Super happy with my purchase and experience here. Prices are fair. Will definitely be coming back here and for a future fit.”
“Great service provided by James. I've been here 3 times in the past 2 weeks. He's helped my parents, brother, and myself. I've been telling everyone I know they need to come and see James. He genuinely cares and provides great recommendations.”
“For several years now, Sports Basement Campbell has been our "go-to" destination for sport clothing and goods. We've shopped at every store in the Bay Area, including Santa Cruz, etc., and no other store has the wide selection from everyone, and in all the sizes, that Sports Basement Campbell has. It's a real pleasure to find all of this in one location, with easy access from freeways, a huge parking lot, and surrounded by great restaurants, Trader Joes, and just a great place to walk around and people watch while shopping. Wonder place, and so glad it's still there after Covid and all!”
“This place is absolutely amazing, the knowledge and top tier service they provide you is unmatched! I recently moved from Reno and the experts in there were so nice and helpful. I’ll never visit any other nutrition spot again. They’re knowledgeable, helpful, and super friendly people. 10/10 recommend”
“This place was a find during my recent US visit.
I was looking for stability shoes , Gel Kayano 31 in particular. I wasn’t able to find my required specifications in other stores and that was when I stumbled upon this place.
The owner ( sorry, I didn’t get your name!!) was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and clearly passionate about his work. He very patiently did my foot scan, and then made me try and walk in different shoes with different widths and helped me choose my Gel Kayano 32 ( more than a month before they were due in the company stores).
I must say, the whole experience was extremely satisfying and I am sure to visit next time when I am in Bay Area. Thank you for all your help!!”
“Was kindly welcomed Christopher who took all the necessary measurements for perfectly fitted running shoes. Vladimir was also very professional and super lovely. I am a beginner runner, I need wide shoes and I am new to Road Runner Sports, he explained everything to me in great details. The VIP Family Rewards Membership was a good option. The 90-day perfect fit guarantee is very reassuring. I am impressed by this shop, its assortment and recommend it.”
“Really great experience! He helped me identify the kinds of shoes that would be good for plantar fasciitis and encouraged me to go out and walk in each kind to compare and contrast! Highly recommend!”
“I bought a pair of shoes at the store, the staff were very nice to answer my questions. The store has a wide selection of tennis racquets and accessories. Would recommend to any tennis enthusiast.”
“My favorite go to place for Sports stuff. Great service, good stuff and lots of quality choices. With the membership discount, it's a great way place to shop for quality stuff. Everything I brought from Sports basement is quality - I would not go anywhere other than this place to buy sports equipment.”
“Sonja went above and beyond to be helpful after an insane debacle with Keen Central. Basically, Keen had a batch of Versacore in the color Primose/Alloy size 6.5 that were mislabeled/missized which they vehemently denied was possible. 3 pairs and 6 Keen people later I gave up being treated poorly (Keen Central not Palo Alto store) and called the Palo Alto store. Sonja took time to measure the shoes to help confirm that the pair of 6.5's they had in stock in a different color were indeed smaller and true to size. She then held the shoes until I could arrange to be in the area to try them on and buy them. An associate validated that the shoes I had received were indeed bigger than they should have been and measured my feet and explained the measurements to me.
Sonja was so nice and apologized for all I went thru and expressed that this was very atypical. She encouraged me to try on different styles to explore fit. She was very knowledgeable about all of the shoes I tried on and Keens as a company. Ultimately She helped me get a pair of appropriately sized Versacore in a different color for very close to the sale price from what I had ordered from Keen.
She even was so kind that she found a pair of colored laces to make the replacement pair closer to the color I had been hoping for.
If you are anywhere close to Palo Alto deal directly with the Keen Garage versus online.”

“The staff at Patagonia Palo Alto are absolute all stars! They went above and beyond to get me the jacket I was looking for (seriously ABOVE AND BEYOND!!!) and made sure that I had the jacket before traveling east for a wedding <24 hrs later. Special shoutout to Thomas who was incredibly kind and action oriented.”
“Great coaches and team spirit at Bay to Bay! It’s a good place to get started with volleyball and continue to grow, with lots of options for different levels and styles of play (beginner to highly competitive/advanced, indoor/outdoor). I recommend checking it out!”
“I went in for cleats and they were very helpful. I have feet that are tough to fit, and I've been searching for years for a pair that don't cause toe pain and blisters. They provided great recommendations and were very patient while I tried on lots of pairs. Hope the ones I bought will work out for me.”
“Charlie Rose is amazing!
Jake goes above and beyond every time we come in. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Jake was able to get my son’s gloved relaced so fast before the weekend.”
“I'm a bad tennis player, and know next to nothing about gear. So when I started talking to Greg (owner), I'm sure he knew immediately that he could take advantage of me. However, he came up with a really reasonable set of services to get me back into the game - showing that, not only does he know A LOT about tennis and gear, but he's also a good person. I really like supporting these types of businesses, where it's a well run shop and the staff are there to support customers.”
“Nice place net are very nicethey have a huge collection of cricket stuff I like the environment and people working in US cricket store very nice manager Parveen has good knowledge also Deepak has a very good knowledg overall I give 10 of 10”
“Very specialized shoe store. They don't have the typical walking and sports brands you hear about. If you either work in the medical industry, or you have a specific medical condition though, you will have heard some of them. Everything here is top-notch!”
“Leigh is an awesome coach! Easy to get along with, and provides great insights that deliver results.There may be 10 things wrong with my swing, but each lesson he'll prioritize the 1-2 high-impact things I should focus on. In the first 2 lessons, I went from inconsistently hitting fat and thin shots to getting consistent ball strike, which I had never been able to do before!He uses slow-motion video capture to analyze your swing, identify issues, recommend solutions, and explains the theory behind it very well.I look forward to my regular sessions with Leigh - getting the coaching, practicing on the driving range, and seeing my game improve over time!”
“Hands down the best place to purchase shoes. Phenomenal customer service and it is very pleasant to shop in Los Gatos. Very active community and the owners know their customers. If they dont have the shoe they will order it for you and it couldnt be easier to do. Thank you Tyler!”

“Taylor was amazing! I learned so much about skating and skateboard components as a total noob. He helped me pick the perfect board for me within my budget. Very happy with the service”
“I’ve been going to Sprockets for 11 years or so. I live in the Foster City area in the Peninsula, but will travel to this store for all my volleyball needs. It’s a unique store with a great team who can assist on your purchase.Greg, the owner is supper helpful and the most knowledgeable sales person you’ll meet without being a salesman. Case in point: Recently, I asked him if I should get new shoes and told him I’ve had them for a year. He said I should wait another year with the shoes I bought previously. He told me the signs to look for when it’s time to replace my shoes. Most stores will say let’s get you a new pair. That says a lot in my book.His staff which includes former volleyball players take pride in their work and are happy to work with you until you are ready to buy if at all.BTW, my wife loves the store too for her non volleyball itemsThe best store and people in my opinion.”
“Stores usually hate doing PPT’s but Bullseye always respects your spot in line no matter what you want to do that day, and every staff that has helped me has been knowledgeable and cool”
“We had exceptional assistance with some items we wanted to change (for smaller sizes) after receiving them as gifts. They had good suggestions if they did not have the exact item in stock.”
“Danny delivers again! The man is straight up a man of his word. I can do business with him on just a handshake. I needed a better way to store my accessories and Danny came up with a solution so I can roll my table leafs out of the way of my man cave cabinets. One week later he has it dropped shipped directly to my home. This relationship has fueled my man cave aspiration's but oh so sweet! Thank you sharks pool tables!”
“Quite possibly the best buying experience I have ever had. I first walked in here recently to find my wedding suit - Jim was the first person to come up to me and led me to this beautiful blue suit. After viewing a few others I knew the first suit he picked was perfect for me. That day I didn't buy that suit because I wanted to see what alternatives were out there. There's a lot of good suit places in San Jose, but nothing quite like Eli Thomas.. Jim and his staff were so friendly and attentive and know exactly how your suit should look. I ended up coming back to see if I can order that exact suit, which at the time wasn't in my size. To my amazement Jim had the right sized suit ordered, shortly after my first visit, and it arrived the time I came in. Jim is a very confident sales man, and rightfully so.. it shows in the level of rapport and trust. Highly recommend buying your next suit from this store - my suit looks excellent!”
“We sell Pokemon card games. I bought a sleeve that seems to be a US exclusive design. The store staff will talk to you in a friendly manner. Thank you very much.”
“My go-to surplus store. I've made it a point to drop by every couple of months to see what's new.
A lot of stock tends to sit for a bit and doesn't seem to get marked down, so if you're in the market for a specific article, double check what it's going for online.
However, they tend to get more unique uniforms and equipment than just your standard USGI kit. But whatever your fancy, be it airsoft, collection, or reenactment, you may just find what you need here.
On top of that, it's also a large workwear store. You can find a lot of popular brands in multiple sizes and variance to fit your scope of work.
The staff are great too. They'll let you know if a certain item isn't eligible for return and are more than happy to help you find the right fit for your gear.”
“This was my first time visiting Japantown and found this great store with so many Japanese items. Arlene, the owner, showed us how to fold origami hats that can be used as bookmarks. I was curious about how a kimono is worn and Miko spent time dressing me in a kimono and explaining each step. There was another lady there that was nice. I came out with knowledge about the kimono and Japanese style and with a beautiful tsuzumi pillow. I highly recommend this gem of a store!”
“Overall, Levi’s Stadium offers a state-of-the-art experience with some impressive features but is marred by the intense heat and logistical challenges that come with large crowds. For those planning to attend, it’s advisable to prepare for the weather and use public transit where possible.”
“Nice little badminton shops. They have an extensive collection of rackets and the owner is pretty friendly and receptive when it comes to answering any questions you may have. Pricing is pretty standard. I don't think you're going to get a bargain here, but you certainly won't be miffed either.”
