“We recently hosted a group of 16 for a work event with our summer interns, and I must say, the facility is stunning! It's hard to believe it used to be a film studio. Although we encountered a minor issue with catering, the team at Bay Padel quickly resolved it to our complete satisfaction. I look forward to returning and planning another event here. Special thanks to Pedro for his responsiveness in addressing the situation and to Sofi for being an excellent point of contact throughout the planning process.”
“Knowledgeable rep helped me narrow down to 1 from 3 running trainers I was eyeing before I got into the store. The Berkeley RR is great! They guys are sincere about their return policy.”
“The bike service I received was excellent! Expert advice, quick service, cost savings as a Basementeer; all my concerns embarking on the AlC ride were taken care of quickly! And I noticed race posters of running races I follow in the shoe department! Thanks for all your local support Berkeley Sports Basement!”
“What a fantastic experience. Everyone truly cares about making sure you leave with the right shoes, they take tons of time with each person and provide incredible advice. Emily helped me and was just fantastic, so kind and informative. Cannot recommend this place enough for all levels of runners!”
“Wonderful experience shopping for running shoes. Thank you!
The staff is hella chill, happy, and patient. The prices are typical and the selection is wide. My person helped me through 8-10 different types of models from 5 different brands. They asked me about my hobbies and different types of exercise to get me the best type of shoe. They also informed me about the runners club the company hosts.
That's what service and hospitality look and feel like. Thanks, again.”
“I’m new to golf and was looking for a place to help set up my golf clubs. Read nothing but good things about GRIP IT. I meet AJ he went above and beyond helping me and answering the questions I had. Definitely recommend coming in.”
“It is the best kite boarding shop in San Francisco. My son is passionate about this sport and always finds everything he needs to practice this sport in Calikites. The customer service is excellent and the store is super cute!”
“Give me really good in-depth explanations about Pickleball and tennis. They helped me find the right thing for me for my level. There’s no better store in the tri-state area.”

“Can’t say enough good things about this place. Coffee and teas are professionally done weighing and measurement great machines. The cycling ? clothing is 10/10They also have fitting rooms”
“My first experience with jujitsu and I've found the vibe really welcoming and educational. Members and coaches are kind and I've been able to hop right into classes and learn a lot while getting good workouts.”

“Went there for a sling bag, found it, all good. But then tried getting some help with a unique request, and although they didn't have exactly what I needed they tried helping me think outside the box to achieve what I was after. I appreciate that!
Also got a surprise at checkout, apparently I had $45 in credit on my account so the $60 sling bag actually cost me $15, nice!!
All in all, about typical for my REI experience: professional, helpful, fast. Thanks guys!! Side note: maybe expand your skydiver section!!!!”
“Always love coming in to the SF location. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. Patagonia makes amazing quality clothing! Always excited to see their new arrivals.”
“I bought a jacket online for a great price that needed repairs, knowing that fjallraven offers service on their items.
Brought it here and it was finished within about a week, at no cost to me and very little fuss, I just filled out a form at the store and dropped it off. The store associates were friendly. Will definitely stop by again to test out their other items.”

“This rating is for the level of service at Vuori, in particular Gabby who was just wonderful. I'm new to Vuori so I had a lot of questions and it was my first time trying things on. Gabby worked tirelessly to offer different options and was very knowledgable regarding the different styles. It's so refreshing to have this kind of experience in retail these days.”
“I coach a high school XC team and Bev at transports graciously donated a number of lightly worn running shoes last year. This store is great and deserves the support of the running community.”

“Flying kites in Berkeley is a tradition that should be passed along from generation to generation. Its the same as buying a kite here at HighLine Kites. The worlds smallest kite shop.

He is there on the weekends shows up around 130pm if you need any help look around for me and I can get you started.HAVE SOME FUN IN THE SUN THIS SUMMER AND GO FLY A KITE!”
“San Francisco Giants gift store
This is a shop where you can purchase various souvenirs.
Unfortunately, there is no bathroom.
Overall, it is well organized, but the staff service needs some improvement.
Please note that since it is a major league, the price is a bit higher than expected.”
“Decided to take the plunge (well many plunges) and learn to wing foil. Matt was an awesome instructor for my first lesson. I was hooked. The next day, I met with Jane to buy gear. She was very patient ( as I barely knew which end was up ) and made recommendations for an appropriate board and wing for my size. Again, she remained very patient as she walked me through the set up and inflation process. We were rewarded at the end of our session with a beautiful onshore wind and we were both able to get out on the water. (Well, I was more in than on). There is nothing that can compare to the personal service provided by Boardsports California. As I progress, and my equipment needs change, I will be consulting with Boardsports (by phone , chat or Zoom) since I’m not local to the Bay Area) . They are experts on the water and experts in passing their knowledge to their customers.”

“Was about to order online, but instead popped into this location because it was nearby!! Staff was incredibly kind and helpful, offered an alternative when the item i was looking for did not come in a specific color, and ended up loving the alternative more than the original item! I will 100% be returning, great customer service!”
“Luckily, I didn't know you could return at any North face store so I limited myself. Easily spent over an hour just checking the whole store out and found two jackets that fit what I was looking for and two other fun items I just liked. Four stars cuz their bathroom was broken... though that was probably good so I stopped shopping.”
“(Translated by Google) Mmmm good assortment of jewelry good attention and money shipments(Original)Mmmm buen surtido de joyería buena atencion ay envios de dinero”
“Is a family business. They offer check cashing, money transfers to Mexico, package delivery services to Mexico. They have random sports where especially soccer and they sell tickets to all the San Jose convention center dances for the locals convenience at a better price than Ticketmaster. Very nice family. Please support your local businesses.”
“The staff here are so welcoming and lovely! Found the exact dress I was looking for and a few extra pieces I was expecting but really enjoyed how they looked. Store is well laid out and has a lot of great stuff. Would definitely come back here again!”
“The fellas over at Liberal Fishing Tackle and Loan are TOP NOTCH. Don't let the rough side of town discourage you from visiting. I promise you it is safe and the crew WILL take GREAT care of you. They offer EXTREMELY fair prices on everything. I will say that I was pleasantly surprised at the selection of stuff ESPECIALLY the guitars!!! Seriously though, I am not being too "liberal" when I say these guys are worth every minute and every dime if you are looking, not only to pawn, sell or trade, but GREAT SELECTION of items and what a place to get FISHING GEAR too!! It's seriously like a big man cave of cool stuff only here, you can buy whatever you like. I sound like a dang infomercial. Hahaha....”
“As I company, I'm a big fan of T9. Love their brand, their products, their real-women athlete models. I had my first in-store experience in years when I came in to return something that I ordered online which didn't fit. The store did not disappoint. The associate who helped me was assisting others when I walked in, so I looked around for my replacement jumper. They didn't have it, but it was no problem. Within a few minutes, the T9 associate had processed my return, ordered another in the right size, and helped me order a pair of shorts I'd been eying in the catalogue (after trying on the size and deciding on a slightly different length and color). Both would get delivered to me at home for no delivery fee. I'm not sure how much the return and second delivery charges would have been, but I was happy to not find out. Now I'm so excited about my new summer jumper and shorts that will be coming soon!”
“A lot of Lids in the area but the customer service provided by Aban had me coming back to this one. Bought 3 hats all with Aban’s help. He also informed me that the Lids franchise was in Sydney so was very grateful for that.”
“Really great customer service and a wide array of products. Isaac specifically was super helpful, and when they were out of crawdad traps he told us how we can make one on our own!”
