I tried to buy a “SELL” T-shirt before I took a trip and was told they have to order it online.

Great customer service, clothes quality is wanting. Shirts are thin and shrink a ton. Sweatshirts have loose threads where logos are sewn on, making the logo fray off. And that's the replacement they sent out.

Lady behind the counter wouldn’t wait on me. Extremely disrespectful with so much attitude on 11/16 like seriously I’m sorry I’m undecided but no need to rush me to either buy or get out. I’m a community member trying to give back because I believe in the Oaklandish mission totally unnecessary to be treated poorly when I walked in with a smile and high spirits.

Fun place to browse around, they have all kinds of cute stuff and you never know what you're going to find! I don't go in there looking for anything specific, I just wander until something catches my eye. Staff are friendly but it's a no pressure environment which I like. Everyone is real chill and it's a good way to spend an hour or so and not lose your whole paycheck lol

So much love for Oaklandish!!! If you're a local they're a necessity to rep your roots while supporting a wonderful, creative business that does so much for the community! If you're a Town visitor, there is no place better to pick up gifts for friends and family; and grab some wearable memorabilia for yourself to remember your trip! My most recent purchase was limited edition DubNation celebratory shirts and the one pictured here as gifts. I used the website and the transaction was seamless, and the gifts arrived today (ordered on Friday!!). Will definitely be back, again and again and again!

I really love this brand. A lot of one-of-a-kind clothing. One criticism about the storefront, however. I’m not sure if this is a covid consideration of what, but they do not allow you to try on the clothing, which is a bit frustrating because I suspect the sizes are a bit off (i.e. L fits like an XL, M fits like a L). I purchased a couple of shirts and don’t realize until I returned home they were much too big. I had to exchange the shirts a weeks later - staff asked no questions as to why I was returning. So just recently, when in the store, I wanted to try on shirts before purchasing. I was told I could hold the shirt up to my body, but couldn’t try on. I’m a bit baffled by this, seeing as the store allows you to purchase, try on at home, and then return no questions asked. I suppose I should’ve just purchased the shirts, tried on outside and then returned if they didn’t fit. Covid theatrics are a bit antiquated at this point. What’s the point of even having the store?

I almost didn’t buy anything at this store because of their worker Leilani. I was having issues w my Apple Pay (which I’ve never used before) and she started giving me attitude n was zero help. Both her and Julio were mid conversation and seemed uninterested in helping me at all.I stepped outside to fix it, and when I came in I mentioned that they seemed to not be interested in helping anyone. She immediately went on the attack and told me that my attitude was the issue, and mentioned something about my mask. She never asked me to put one on, I put in on willingly after seeing a sign in the store.These people almost made this store lose my business, I would have had a better experience with a self service kiosk since I already knew what I wanted. They’re getting paid to do literally nothing, almost worse then nothing because they’re causing people like me to never want to come back.

First time at the oaklandish store in fruitvale and was very impressed. When I say the store is clean I don't just mean clean, it's sleek, it had good feng shui. I knew what I was coming in for, an Oakland roots tshirt for my 15 year old nephew and they had a good selection too! Leilani was so helpful, I told her what I needed and she explained my options. She was so friendly and when I was chatting with her about the gift, she recommended the size after explaining the sizes. I said I wanted to pay for a bag since it was a gift for later that day and she was so nice and offered to add tissue paper, it was perfect. She made me hyped to go to the store downtown which it has been some years now, I'll be going again and my nephew loves his gift!

Unfortunately, my first experience with Oakandish was not positive. It began great when the young man working there assisted me in finding a nice Oakland shirt for my wife. It went sour upon checkout time, when I opted to pay with cash. It appears that he did not know how to process a cash payment and pressed a wrong button on the POS device. He asked me to wait while he consulted his supervisor for assistance. No problem, things happen and I understand. About 5 or so minutes went by, while they talked. I asked was everything OK and gave the young man coins in order to make my change an even $65, so it would be easier. I suggest that they give me my change and that I did not require my receipt so I can be on my way. They ignored the suggestion and asked me to wait longer. I continued to wait while the supervisor phoned someone (the owner maybe?) to assist further assistance. At this point, a line was forming at checkout and I estimate I was waiting about 10 minutes and I was given no explanation. I then said that I had to leave and to give me my change. They asked me to wait longer. I insisted to them that I could not wait, and that I wanted change or my money back. Finlay, the young man handed me change without counting it to me. I asked him to count it to me, and he counted it to himself. I checked it and he gave me $5 too much, and I informed them and handed it back. I had to ask for an apology, which came half-hardheartedly. As a former Oakland resident excited about visiting his home town, it was a disappointing experience. I can't help wondering that if I were white would my experience have been different?

I love Oaklandish! They have the best Oakland drip. Its a little bit more expensive, but its worth it. The stickers are so sick???
