“I can't say enough good things about ECPC. It's a great community for kids and parents alike. The teachers are kind and provide a lot of interesting projects without forcing anything onto the children. Both of our kids wanted to stay longer when it was time for pickup. I only wish ECPC had space for older kids so we can stay longer.”

“Staff are great, specifical team the checked me in at late afternoon helpful, and pleasant, and well organized. I found it welcoming and lobby area had plently if information abiut sites and places to eat in the area, with everything posted in a engaging fun way, yet profession and lobby and hallways very clean. Did a walk around inspection of the kichen, dinning/common area, bathroom, TV area and everything was exteremly clean and well cared for. I stayed in 5 room (3 others besides myself) and room was clean. Llinens offered were professional laundered and I like new/perfect condition. Many noteable San Fransico sites I found to be within a 1-2 walkable distance. I will definitely stay here when I must travel SF for medical appointments, and recommend to others! Must appreciation to the hard-working staff.”

“Ashkenaz is, most likely, among the most unique cultural dance halls in the entire Bay Area. From Folk, Country, Zydeco, Reggae and Baltic Folk Dancing to Blues, Jam Bands and singer-songwriter competitions, you really can't beat the range of experiences one could have there.This place is as good as it gets, and I'm so grateful to know about it and to have enjoyed it for quite a few years!”

“My son thrives at Berkeley Hills Nursery School and we could not be happier! The teachers and the director have 10 - 20+ years of experience. I trust them 100% as experts in their field to help nurture and develop my son.My son does well at this small school, with an intimate group of friends. Because of the low student to teacher ratio, the teachers are very familiar with my son as a unique individual.The director, Kathleen, is top-notch, easy to work with, and very involved with the kids. Kathleen makes our parent "tasks" easy: applying was free and simple, enrollment steps were clear, and daily communication is concise (made even easier through an app).I like that teachers lead activities for the whole group of kids. The play-based activities get my son moving and learning. For example, today the kiddos moved through an obstacle course that helped them with balance, and fine and gross motor skills. They also do art, yoga, and walks in the neighborhood.Lastly, we have a strong parent community, with adult and family social events. We are so happy to have found this gem in the hills!”

“Ya know that old cliche about feeding a man a fish versus teaching him to fish? So he can eat forever? That's kinda what Spokeland is like. Maybe it would be easier to pay someone to fix my bike for me, but then I would have to keep on doing that every time something goes wrong. At Spokeland, instead of doing repairs for you, they let you do it yourself but give you helpful guidance throughout. I now know much more about fixing my own bike thanks to these awesome people! I've come here to fix a flat, change out a cassette, and tune up my brakes. The volunteers that run Spokeland have been helpful and friendly every time. Sometimes things can take a while cause they're understaffed and don't have many open hours (a few hours Tu/Th evenings and Sunday afternoons). This is fine. They're volunteer-run and can only help so many people at once. Plus the vibes are welcoming, so it's not a bad place to spend a while! In addition to providing knowledge and a workshop space, Spokeland has lotsa parts and used bikes for sale. Think I saw some helmets too. I believe they also offer classes on occasion. Not sure how often these actually happen, but they seem to range from bike basics up to more advanced concepts and look super helpful. The best part of Spokeland is their determination to make bikes accessible for all. If you don't have the money, you can volunteer to pay off your shop time. And if you prefer to use money, it's super affordable. I've been twice, fixed several things on my bike, and only paid $10 total. Not bad for to get moving again and gain bike knowledge that will help me maintain my bike-friendly lifestyle long-term!”

“Every once and a blue moon I'll come in here and be reminded of the power of good books and music. The excitement of finding exactly what I need to read and or listen to. This place is pure magic and I'm so grateful that it's here and we get to enjoy it time and time again. A reminder that great things can be found on the cheap. Books that can change our lives or at the very least, our thinking, are indeed accessible.”

“The management let me stored some of my clothes at the basement. The last time I have checked the box, I found that some of the clothes are missing plus there are one or two clothes that weren’t mine. I got sick after the exposure… I mean if you steal… that the last thing I should expect but please don’t play your dirty game. Not sure who did these but less likely the management and kitchen/volunteers.I wonder why the admin/manager lets someone rather than staff staying on the premise after and between open hour. Those are usually coming from one group and not diverse. That leads to the problem if someone has lost something, there is no other way to think who did rather than targeting to this group. If you let someone into the premise, then let everyone else in to, too, for the sake of everyone now will look after everyone else belonging.I tested Positive for covid after I open the box with the dirty underwear/ or unidentified object that the clothes thief may leave into my clothes box. Minding you I were find a moment before that I slept outside the coldness and woke up without any trouble. This is a murdering act because if I didn’t have vaccines and optimism mind, having covid is like a dead sentence. Now who could I sue? Why these people keeps killing my hope while I try to surviving?”

“I randomly found this museum while visiting my friend who lives in Oakland and I was excited to check it out. They have lots of (if not all...) consoles, games, and gaming related info and stuff. You pay $20 for unlimited play all day (I believe re-entry is available too). Definitely had a lot of fun here and I played a lot of games and they have multiplayer games as well so if you bring your friends you can play with them. I played Wii Sports, Mario games, Ghost in the Shell, Sims, Rock Band, arcade games, etc. I'll definitely come back.”

“We came to see a friend perform in Beautiful. What a wonderful show. We happened to be here on a warm evening, which was wonderful. I've been here on other nights when it gets cold when the sun goes down.In short, performances are always great, but dress for the weather to fully enjoy the experience.”

“Got tested 2nd day of the new year. Community was very kind and supportive. Even the lady who took my tests was a nice conversationalist and made the process easier for me despite the tests being super new to me. 10/10 I’m going back again ??”

“VERY cute amusement park / museum like place. Loved all the big SF Firefighters Toy Program statues of your favorite characters from the classic cartoon of the Jet sons to Disney characters to Stranger Things. It may look crowded but there were times where we had a little privacy where we took pictures with no photo bomber. This is definitely a great free way to see something new. Parking underground is easy and lots of space, $3 for 20 minutes, max cost is $25. GO CHECK IT OUT!”

“I think the square is very good. However, they do not protect their users from scammers, the way I feel they should. People are out here buying products, getting the completed products, and then asking for a refund and Square is giving it without even asking any questions.”

“I think they do a service to the community and beyond. Many of the up turned faces judge saying it's wrong and what they do here is a grind. A thankless job dealing with the task of helping out some very difficult and demanding people that many have abandoned and don't care about. A lot of volunteer hours go into their work and very few people simply say thank you for your service. Instead it's entitlement and give me this and give me that and ride remarks if they can't accommodate. So, PLEASE if you read this or you stop by take a second and say thank you and appreciate the service they do provide. This place does great work!!”

“My daughter just started at Crowden as a 7th grader. She is a complete beginner in violin but the music faculty has been very understanding and appreciative of her aptitude to learn. So far, we are having only positive experiences. She is learning music at her level, and following the academic program of her grade. Everyone at school is extremely understanding, adults and the kids.The small class size makes it for a better learning environment for my daughter because she is usually very distracted at school. While the school still follows the common core program, they also have art and French classes. Overall, the breakdown of classes reminded me of a more European school, with shorter periods, which helps kids to focus and pay attention in each class.My daughter also enjoys the school and really looks forward to having her first concert.”

“10 year ago I stayed at Rachael House when I was at the end of my pregnancy and until my son was 6 months old. I will never forget the home and support I found there. My life is wildly different than it was then but Raphael House was the foundation gifted to me to start from SCRATCH. Advice: Put your head down, focus and take every single step and find every possible resource available and make choices in the right direction. You will succeed.”
