“This is a beautiful store and the owner was extremely patient while I sent photos to my husband of the candlesticks that we were interested in purchasing. He is committed to staying on Piedmont Avenue and has been in this location for over 25 years. We are so happy that I “shopped local” yesterday.”
“I love going here for hard to find products. He has the best shea butter, mango butter and even carries shea oil. All the hair and body products you are looking for, found here.”
“Very very lovely store! The owners are so nice and helpful. This store is stacked with beautiful items to buy from clothes to jewelry and even black soap and body oils. Love shopping here, I spend $200 and over every time cause it's WORTH IT!”

“This shop has the cutest things – particularly gifts for others and treats for yourself. The staff is unfailingly, kind, and helpful. And they wrap your package is beautifully to take with you and give right away. It’s always a treat to go in this store.”
“Great store with many authentic beautiful gift items from Mexico. If you like religious candles, photos, statues, and rosaries there are many items with Jesus, The Blessed Virgin Mary, and Saint Michael to name a few. I will add some photos later of all the religious items that you don't find many places. Very friendly people who are so helpful to find just the right clothing, gift, pinata, etc, etc. See the store for yourself and something beautiful and colorful will catch your eyes everywhere you look!”
“I was having dinner at a new restaurant down the street and noticed all the amazing plants they had. I especially noticed this huge philodendron of some sort and asked the waitress where they got them so she sent here and glad she did as I had no idea this place even existed. They have no social media presence but I guess they don't need it. I bought a few cute plants and some pots. I also bought a couple gifts items like a framed butterfly and an olive oil soap.”

“I recently ordered a bday gift from Bella vita, but realized I had it shipped to my home address instead of the bday person's address. I called bella vita as soon as they opened, and was able to change the address without any issues. I spoke with Allegra, and she was so kind and thoughtful! When she found out it was a bday gift, she offered to wrap it! The gift arrived today and it was beautifully wrappe and even had a bow! The bday person sent me a pic. I am so impressed with the attn to detail and excellent customer service! Reminds me of shopping at Macy's in the 80s when they still had a wonderful gift wrap dept. You just don't get this type of service nowadays. Thank you SO much Allegra!!! You are the best!”

“I love this place! I was looking for a gift, but found cards, several books and things for my home, and some beautiful new earrings. I spent an hour and it was not enough to see and explore all of the treasures that are in there. Gift wrapping, helpful staff, and displays that offer great ideas are a plus.”
“I have been to various nail shops in the past but never got the look I desire being that my cuticles and nail growth was damaged I found Dave and Chi and I got the desired style I been seeking I don't go anywhere else I get my nails, feet and eyebrows done here....Loyal customer for 3 years !!!!”
“Excellent customer service was on full display today as the store's employees calmly and professionally handled a very difficult customer. Despite offering multiple resolution options, the customer, clearly trying to provoke a confrontation, resorted to name-calling and unreasonable demands.
Aside from that incident, the store itself offers a variety of unique items that make great gifts for loved ones, or even a treat for yourself!”
“Love this spot!!!!! The cards are carefully curated, and it shows. I can always find something beautiful or quirky for Mother’s Day, housewarmings, etc.”

“I love popping into Bay-Made when I am in the area! They have been my go to spot for gifts (and treats for myself!). I appreciate how Bay-Made features local artists and art/decor that feels true to the East Bay. One of my most treasured pieces of art is a poppy print I picked up from them a couple years back!”
