“Incredible experience!! As a first time lehenga shopper, they were very helpful and patient - not to mention they turned around some small alterations within 30 mins of purchasing (I got lucky that their seamstress was in on a day she wasn’t supposed to be, but regardless the customer service is unmatched!). Definitely check them out if you need to do some last minute shopping.”
“I highly recommend Fresh & Fitted!! Totally Legit Store with great products and awesome customer service! Murad was a very nice person to work with. I’m a truly satisfied customer with my SF Wingspan Hoodie! Thank you Fresh & Fitted for taking care of my orders! ????❤️”
“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!”
“My new favorite shop! They have an amazing selection of nudie jeans and so many other great brands. The owners were so helpful, and had a lot of wisdom to share about women’s jeans and fits which was helpful. Will definitely come back.”
“Came in to support FAB. Always nice to see the King of the Hyphy Movement. Unc wasn’t there kinda disappointed I didn’t get to meet his funny personality. Highly recommended for all family and folks. Support small business.”
“This business goes above and beyond for customers. Years ago when they were at their old location, an OUSD high school student of mine was interested in clothing design and small business. My husband liked this brand, so my student and I reached out to Oakland’s Own’s owner. Right away, he was receptive, warm, and encouraging.
We’ve since bought shirts and a jacket for ourselves and family.
More recently, I ordered kids’ clothing. They communicated a restock delay and EVEN BROUGHT IT TO ME to make sure I could gift it in time to out of town family.
I can’t recommend this business enough. And everything we’ve ordered has always been fire. The designs are hella unique and consistently great quality. Plus it’s run by good folks!
Thank you Oakland’s Own. Hella proud to rep the Town with your gear.”
“Such a quality curation of vintage and modern. The owner Sarah is one of the sweetest people! If you can’t make it in to shop, their online store and Instagram has everything available for purchase which is super convenient. Highly recommend!”
“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 came to this dd's discounts in San Leandro from Livermore.I do have to start by saying it is well kept and organized,Very clean.The employees are very nice and helpful.The line moved quick.From all the dd's around the Bay Area this one is the best.”
“The staff members were super-friendly and honest about the fit of my hoodie when I was last here a while back. I ended up getting a more slim-fitting one and it actually sort of keeps me motivated to exercise and keep trim (just so I can fit in it). I get compliments on it often.
The selection of products is nicely curated. You'll find things here that you won't easily find at other stores.
Every time I visit Oakland I try to poke my head into this shop to see what's in store (literally).”
“Amazing experience at the outlet! The selection and prices were great, but what really made the difference was the customer service. Daniel was absolutely amazing — super friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful throughout the whole process. He took the time to help me find exactly what I needed and made the experience feel personal instead of rushed. Definitely one of the best retail experiences I’ve had recently. Highly recommend!”
“Got a pair of vintage Levi’s here they fit great but then ripped the first time I wore them to the office. However they allowed me to exchange them for a different pair which I appreciate no questions. It is nice to see a store stand behind their products even if they are vintage or used. With all the hype around vintage this store stand out with the quality and customer service on top of having reasonable prices”
“This spot is dope. High quality goods all around. Good music and the employees are helpful. My cousin couldn’t afford the shoes he wanted but they offered him $15 off the listed price. They have some stuff marked 30-50% off too. I copped a brand new pair of clean AF1s for $80”
“My daughter helped me discover this gem by giving me a gift certificate for my birthday. I went with her at least six months later, and was so charmed by our experience. The range and quality of the fragrances made the trip in worth it. Then, the whimsical environment just made it feel like a magical experience. The owner did not disappoint in this regard, and is very knowledgeable about the scents and their combinations. She patiently supported us (without stalking) while we painstakingly smelled (discovered) every fragrance in each beautiful bottle, then she helped us create our own oil roller and lotion tin using our two favorite scents — which have lasted over a year and still smell good enough to be a staple in my purse.
And the prices… let you know she’s been there a long time and is doing it for the love. Total gem! Love this shop! Planning to go back soon.”
“This little shop had a cool selection of high quality brands and local made items. Would highly recommend if you're looking for interesting prints, and colors that aren't boring neutrals! I bought two bandanas that are totally unique and lovely quality.”
“They need to hire someone to keep inventory especially for shopping bags customer's need bags for the products they buy unless they're about to pull that bring your own bag crap ??♀️”
“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!”

“I brought in a beautiful leather jacket that needed the sleeves to be shorter by 1.5 inches. They did a great job with standard prices. I love wearing my jacket now!”
“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.”
“When I came across this store it was as if the clouds had parted to let the sun shine down on me. Yeah I’m exaggerating but it’s a cool store and the dude who runs it seems laxed. But when he asks you “how much do you think it’s worth?” I recommend quoting some outrageous price and wait for his counter offer. I mean it’s negotiating 101. But when you’re desperate for money, you’ll just be happy if somebody is willing to pay you anything. A mistake I shan’t make again. Yes I do recommend this spot for every hipster rocking a man purse and a cardigan and a SnapBack. Oh my god I just described myself. Bummer?”
“Awesome store, great service, and amazing selection. I met Roy, the owner, and he is a really great guy. Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I'll most definitely be back for more gear.”
“I had a great experience here. I arrived in a panic as I had a wedding to go to and the blouse I had brought was too small. So I had to purchase a larger one. The staff helped me color match and gave me a couple of different sizes to try. They were able to make the alterations right there on the spot because I had to leave in a matter of minutes. I was so thankful for their efficiency and attention. They picked out the perfect earrings to complement my bangles and the sari colors They even helped stack my bangles so I would not have to spend time on that later. Very happy with their service.”
“Such a sick store providing high-quality, hard to find pieces. They always have something perfect for every season. Staff is super friendly and chill, shoutout Andrew who helped me!”

“Was looking for some high quality basics in fun colors (not just boring black, white, and earth tones most stores have), and made out of natural fibers, and this store was great for that! The older Asian lady at the counter (didn't quite get her name) was very nice.”
“This local store is a wonderful find, offering a curated selection of organic and natural beauty products, including 100% OIL perfumes (not infused with alcohol many stores used to cut their products to make a profit), massage oils, soaps, crystals and incense. The owner's decades of expertise, engaging personality, positive vibes and kind demeanor create a welcoming atmosphere and a truly positive shopping experience. I go there to get my hard to find China Rain body oil perfume that has been a classic, popular light scent in The Bay Area since the 70's. Please support local and black-owned businesses.”
“Out of curiosity of this little shop I took a peek and it truly is a gem! The shop owner was extremely kind and welcoming. They were very attentive to any questions I had and had such a nice aura to them! The jewelry was indeed my favorite part as there are so many different designs. The scarves are very beautiful as well! Overall 10/10 there is so much to discover in this little shop.”
“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!”

“I went to Chic today for the first time in a while, because we moved to Walnut Creek 3 years ago. It is such an amazing store—lots of unusual and beautiful clothes. I bought 2 dresses for a spring wedding in NYC. Rana is so helpful, and so knowledgeable. Wonderful shopping experience!!”
“super cool shop , friendly staff and unique pieces! I’ve work up the street and have been inside a handful of times, but each time I find a treasure! Love the cooors & the vibes.. definitely worth a trip!”
