“SIYA is a gem! This place isn’t comparable to any other Indian clothes shopping experience I’ve had. Found out about them from a family member who always has the best outfits. It’s my go to spot now. Their selection is fantastic, offering a wide range of high-quality options for all occasions. The owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and Sonu is super helpful—both really go out of their way to style you for the events you're shopping for. I was able to get several outfits for my brother's wedding and my best friend's wedding within a day, and every piece was unique and beautiful. They even tailored everything, and the fit was perfect. One blouse needed to be fixed again and they were so kind and quick about it. They truly care that their clients are well taken care of. The prices reflect the quality you’re getting—well worth it! I also found gorgeous matching jewelry to complete my looks that the owner hand selected and was patient while I figured out what I liked best. My husband got three outfits and couldn’t be more excited to have high-quality Indian clothes, from a hassle free, fast, and easy shopping experience. Highly recommend SIYA for anyone looking for stunning Indian fashion with top-notch service!”
“The backpack giveaway this past Saturday was BOMB! Jumpers, nachos, plenty school supplies and backpacks, free haircuts, and a safe environment! Job well done! Looking forward to next year! Thank you all for giving back to the community!”
“Dope Era is, No Question the Saucest clothing store I have ever had the pleasure of stepping inside the front door of. Fab is the Man also No Question, I'm not saying that because I know the guy or because we were both raised in North Oakland. I'm saying that because it's a great store that offers a great experience and mainly because your drip will be turned up to a Million degrees after you throw on the gear you just purchased from Dope Era Believe it! P.s. I also wanted to say or more like needed to say that them cats working in there M or F are top of the line individuals that refused to let an old head like myself walk out of there without his drip dripping off his frame in a proper way and that's is coming from a who has been dripping candy clean since before drip was wet and dripping yadada mean? But ah any-how it was really really real up in that thang I mean these cats are experts in drip or in other words the ladies and gentlemen of said establishment are all themselves what I would consider connoisseurs of fine haberdashery and you can't go wrong if was to fall up in 'nere and take a gander at what the player has to offer, you will be glad you did Mackin, that's on C'tas. Oh who am I you asked? The name happens to be Scottie Thurman , one of the few Oakland Hoop legends from Bushrod Park in The North side of Oakland, I have always had the utmost respect and admiration for Mistah Fab and when we finally met he was like , yeah I know you by name only, your reputation proceeds you, they say you was a real problem for some hall of famers back in the day , it was said by someone and I won't say who that you someone who is also an Oakland Hoop Legend Superstar that you never lost to him or anyone a one v one match including the person who I HEARD say this and he won't have a problem with me saying his name, Hook Mitchell the Super Duper Star when it comes to street Hoop legends he is number #1 and he is one of your best friends no hook said you was his brother and that when you get it going your truly Unstoppable and he said you could go full speed without ever stopping and he Called you Y.C. what does Y.C. mean? It means Yo... ..”
“Love this store. I went in yesterday to check it out and found a really cute T-shirt style dress that came with a sash to snatch the waste. It’s so cute, soft, stretchy and has pockets! I look forward to going back to get their Santorini Cape.”
“Love this place! Spectacular French dresses in natural cloth. Art peices for jewelry. Fun place to shop. Great organic linens in earthy colors- SO you are free to easily Look & celebrate like the goddess you are.THANK YOU Hasio-yee for staying extra half hour to help me special order a dress I need for a Buddhist retreat up in the mountains.”
“A wonderful community space. Kind and empathetic practitioners who value wellbeing over profit. A sitting space that doesn’t require purchase to utilize. Activities that inspire community without asking money. I’m a big fan.”
“This work out is perfect for my needs right now- low impact and high intensity, small muscle movements to build and, apparently, sculpt ??Beth is awesome, today was ???☄️?”
“Great selection of oakland gear, caps,shirts, jackets and sweaters. My only complaint is they do not offer senior or veteran discounts. Would not recommend to a fellow vet!”
“Julie at Maple Street Denim is incredible at determining fit and talking through differences between the denim brands and designs that her store carries. I found a pair of denim that was perfect for me and my first pair of selvedge! In love with the fit -- definitely trust Julie to help you find a size that works. Maybe due to modern vanity sizing, but I had to go 2-3 sizes down from my normal denim. I'll be back for repairs for my well-loved pairs :)”
“I would highly recommend coming here! The owner Michael is nice and the store is really clean. All of the clothing was sorted by color and it was very well organized. We liked looking through all the racks, all of the clothes were great quality and there was something there for everyone. The prices were also extremely fair. I will definitely come back the next time I am in Berkeley!”
“Pretty penny is my favorite! Every visit I find an incredible selection of clothes, jewelry and accessories at totally fair prices. The owner, Sarah, is always friendly and helpful.”
“Discovering this charming boutique was pure serendipity during our recent neighborhood explore. My better half and I were warmly greeted by the owner, who showed us an assortment of unique pieces that immediately captured our attention. From colorful scarves to intricately designed jewelry, every item in the store is carefully selected and imported directly from Turkey. We were particularly impressed by the owner's extensive knowledge of each product, which made us feel like we were shopping with a local expert. To top it off, she even offered us a delicious taste of traditional Turkish coffee and delight, which added to the overall authentic experience.The clothing section was also noteworthy, boasting a stylish blend of contemporary and timeless designs. Whether you're looking for something bold and statement-making or more understated and elegant, there's something for everyone here. Overall, we highly recommend visiting this hidden gem, whether you're a seasoned shopper or just browsing the area.”
“Wow! What a fantastic store with such a gracious, welcoming proprietress! I can't believe it took me so long to discover all Patrizia's has to offer. She carries so many of the amazing European designers that my girlfriends are looking for. Yes, the clothing is pricey, but justifiable--the clothing is unique, high quality, and not mass produced. In this era of fast fashion, this is exactly the kind of store we need! Not only do we need to support small businesses, but we can discover clothing options that truly celebrate our individual beauty and uniqueness. The owner has timeless, exceptional taste! Thank you for such an amazing experience! I'll be back!”
“The selection of gifts are vibrant, uniquely designed, and thoughtfully curated. I appreciated how the store owner allowed me to pair and match various baskets even though they were filled with inventory. I was able to pick up last-minute Christmas presents from Nepal, Kenya and India. If you are looking to add more color or geometric designs to your household, there's a drool-worthy section of constellation-inspired houseware (like salt cellars with stars on them) and beautiful basket planters all over the shop.”
“I love this Old Navy. I had a bad experience at another and started coming here, this is my favorite by far! The workers are awesome and knowledgeable. VALERIA assisted me and my family with superb customer service! She really is a great face for Old Navy and needs to be promoted! Awesome can do attitude with a smile! I'll look for her when I shop, I feel spoiled!”
“The store is clean, organized and they have lots of Melanie Martinez merch for you to buy! And I might get a Melanie shirt soon, and the workers are very nice and the discounts are a life saver, love you hot topic. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Ruby and Zinzee (sorry about the spelling!) are both so friendly and personable. I love this shop - jewelery and clothing. There are hijabs or head wraps, mugs, and journals, and if you'd like to try anything on, there are dressing rooms in the back. I purchased a beautiful, tall mug that was design by an artist in Sacramento. It's such a unique shop and I had no idea but they've been here for over 20 years, or was it 30? How rare is that? They're family owned, too. Come check it out! When I mentioned that the mug (beautiful women of color all around the mug) will be a gift, for a friend, they placed it in a pretty gift bag and put colored tissue paper in there! It's ready to gift to her now! Perfect. They get merchandise that come in, so come check them out once in a while. They have a sale rack in the back to the right. There are jeans, dresses, tops, purses, small backpacks, hats, etc. Go check them out!”
“You can tell everything in this store was perfectly curated and picked! It's got a lot of heart, price ranges from low to high but that's reasonable considering they have smaller, local brands. There is jewelry, clothing, handbags and lots of fun pieces to keep your eyes busy. I wanted every piece in the store! I'll be back.”
“I love this shop. It's so unique and well laid out - with amazing, high quality, special/beautiful items, such as clothing - all displayed beautifully, and appealingly. I've bought indigo jeans there, T-shirts with cool designs, as well as fragrances. These purchases will last.I have always gotten so much thoughtful, positive guidance from staffperson Frances. She knows the products, and has helped me each time to find the right thing for me. Her own fashion sense/style is inspiring as well!I'm also very glad the shop is open post-Covid, while so many businesses had to close. Thank you Foxglove!”
“Great second hand woman's clothing store! We went with the whole family and found so many great things for my wife. The kids were cheering on mom as she found so many great items. But in all seriousness, there were lots of really nice designer clothing and accessories for women. Great shop!”
“Awesome little shop clean and well laid out. The employees were super attentive yet allowed for space of shopping as well. If your in the area and in need of a vans fix with all the current options stop in and grab a pair.”
“I love this shop. It's my neighborhood place to go for everything I could possibly want when it comes to shopping for new clothing, shoes and accessories. I love popping in at least once or twice a month. When I visit, I like to survey the store and I always seem to find something new or what I want. The merchandise is of quality brands , with trendy and unique items that make it the boutque it is. The staff and owners are friendly and helpful, and are a long time buiness. I kind of consider them a neighborhood institution. They are a huge anchor in this distric. One of my go to's.”
“Fantastic Store! The customer service is so great. The quality and uniqueness of the clothes are worth every penny. I travel far to get to this store. I know of none other that compares that is a locally owned small business.”

“This is the cutest store with so many fun and clever gift ideas for kids and adults. The aesthetics are delightful and the product selection is really good, especially if you're looking for something a little different”
“I saw Lesley Evers clothing in my Facebook feed and was drawn to the colors and prints. It took me over a year to get here. I love the fact the clothes are designed in USA. There are so many cute items with fabulous colors. They are well made and good quality fabrics. The prices are very reasonable particularly considering they are made in the USA and not cheaply made in China. The sales clerk was very friendly and helpful. She was knowledgeable about the stock and sizes. Even my daughter saw sweaters she would wear. We will be back.”
“A lovely and well curated little shop in Albany. Just steps from Solano Ave but easy to miss on a side street, this place is a delight. They have ceramics, incense, jewelry, perfumes, body wash, cards, small gifts. I think I saw granola, olive oil and a few cookbooks. They also have a good selection of gently used clothes, shoes, and bags. Kind people behind the counter. Just a wonderful place all round. I hope this store stays for a long time to come!”
“At this point, I have worked with Louisa several times and I am never disappointed with the end results. My clothes look great, and I always get compliments on my outfits.”
“I haven’t felt a warm vibe in every shop on Piedmont and vintage stores can be kind of snobby sometimes but I’m happy to say that that frigidaire environment has NOT been my experience at Sunshine Prophecy. The vibe is super warm and inviting; There is ALWAYS good music playing; The employees there are always very patient with any of my (often MANY haha) questions; — AND I’ve never felt pressure to buy anything if I wasn’t ready. — That is especially important to me bc in order to budget I purposely do LONG leads on items I’m interested in. I might stop in once or twice and ask questions/do price checks before I finally treat myself and they always treat me like a paid customer. Clothes, jewelry, purses are cute. LOVE their witchy candles, herbs, and TAROT CARDS. It seems like the owner of this store had more of a “creative calling ” then just a bottom line in starting this business.”
