This is a convenient location for REI. Located near every place else you could want to stop for errands. This inside of this location has 2 stories of REI goodies. It's very compact as far as how everything is organized, but you can find nearly everything you need here. This location even seemed to carry some clothes, shoes, and gear that wasn't offered on the floor of the other REI locations.There is TONS of parking at this location. It's very convenient when you are trying to find a spot to load in all the gear, bikes, or people you are taking on your next adventure. The parking lot offers wheelchair accessible parking right up front, and it's easy to get up to the sidewalk.The staff was helpful and accommodating without being annoying. They were willing to set things aside for pick up if you call ahead as well. This was an enjoyable place to shend time shopping.

The usual extreme service and efficiency mixed with a great in store selection. Fair but not cheap unless closeout

Anything you need to walk or hike or backpack or bike or just work out, this place has it all. Including things you never knew existed. Cool store. Really helpful people.

Weird environment. Bunch of employees walking around and talking but difficult to get help from someone.I think they spend chatting 30 minutes per customer like they are buying a new car. There might be more efficient way to provide customer service

Went by to look at the winter sales... and they moved stuff around, but I found something I had not found before, so I guess it worked out in some odd way...

I love REIToday I got some sweat from Ari the gorgeous cashier gal about my return.-YOU DONT KNOW?YOU BETTER ASK SOMEBODY-She asked a manager and he was like yeah return it. So I still got my way and came up on some really cool new kicks. On my way out Ela was very helpful and also a very Gorgeous Queen!

I’ve been coming here for a few years now, but in the past few months I’ve been getting lots of suspicious looks. I started mostly ordering online because anytime I go near the climbing gear there’s an employee eyeing me up and trying to ‘help’ me every 90 seconds. Today I went in to the store so I could try on some shoes and was actually followed around by the plainclothes loss prevention guy. Just because he’s in jeans does not mean he’s slick, he’s talking into a walkie and speed walking around the store. I will probably be going to nomad ventures for any in person try-on, and I would strongly recommend young minority men not to shop here. It’s really sad because I love REI, anytime I need last minute gear while I’m traveling, I go to an REI.

The selection is nice but there seem to be a lot of staff on the floor with little more to do but follow customers.

reviews I don't do many reviews... REI Encinitas is a treasure. From the bike shop to the employees, they actually appear to enjoy working there and want to help people it's refreshing thank you. Appreciate your enthusiasm and integrity.

One of the friendliest consumer retail stores I've ever been in. Immediately greeted by Diana, who helped me fit and test out a new backpack. Another gentleman assisted me with the stoves and I didn't catch his name. All so friendly and informative, even the lady who rung me up. Chatted with me a little bit and was extremely nice. Very positive experience
