“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.”
“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.”
“Collective Boutique is such a beautiful corner spot on First Street. Jen does an amazing job curating. If you see something you love, grab it because it might not be there next time! Everyone I refer absolutely loves it. Helpful staff and a great place to shop local. Definitely follow them on social as they host events and fun collaborations too.”
“My husband told me about ism but I would always stay in the car instead of going in. I figured...since he never came out with anything, they must be too expensive...boy was I wrong. He finally convinced me to go in "to just look". I came out with a shirt, hoodie and a skull cap. They run a little small but they are very high quality clothing, the sweats are very thick and soft. The prices are much less than I expected. I actually need to go back because lately I've been wearing my hoodie 2 times a week...I absolutely love it. So warm you can go without a coat. The no pressure customer service was great. I'm only giving 4 stars because my husband would always go in but come out with nothing. They don't carry his size. He's normally a 2x because he's so tall but 3x would fit better when it comes to ism clothing. I would love to surprise him with something from ism...since he turned me on to them...sooo please consider larger sizes. See you soon...”
“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!”
“Treasures of Tibet Store is the best place to shop in Berkeley for clothing, blankets, jewelry and gifts. It is owned by a fabulous family and Peki and Thubtan are such friendly and generous owners. They run the business with integrity and kindness as well as being so helpful and friendly. Their store items are of stupendous and excellent quality: beautiful and soft materials in their blankets and ponchos. They have a wide variety of clothing, from excellent , colorfully designed cotton pants to a diverse range of Tibetan blouses and coats. The earrings are truly beautiful and of many lovely gemstones. There are many rings to choose from. It is a truly well run store with so much to choose from, even big and beautiful abalone shells! This store deserves 6 plus rating. It is a well organized and beautiful store with such friendly owners who will go out of their way to give you the very best service.”
“AHHH! I love BaySzn Stylez <3 Alanna gave me the opportunity to rent out a station to lash & let me tell you!! She is such a nice & a genuine person! She welcomed me to her space & was very accommodating. She made me feel comfortable & was very flexible. ALSOOOO HER PRODUCTS ARE 10000000000000!!! If I still lived in Vallejo, i would honestly go back ????”
“Adorable shop on First Street in Benicia! I've used them and their partner store, Le Sparkly Chateau, on several occasions for personal gifts as well as personalized gift packages that I have used for corporate events.”
“As I company, I'm a big fan of T9. Love their brand, their products, their real-women athlete models. I had my first in-store experience in years when I came in to return something that I ordered online which didn't fit. The store did not disappoint. The associate who helped me was assisting others when I walked in, so I looked around for my replacement jumper. They didn't have it, but it was no problem. Within a few minutes, the T9 associate had processed my return, ordered another in the right size, and helped me order a pair of shorts I'd been eying in the catalogue (after trying on the size and deciding on a slightly different length and color). Both would get delivered to me at home for no delivery fee. I'm not sure how much the return and second delivery charges would have been, but I was happy to not find out. Now I'm so excited about my new summer jumper and shorts that will be coming soon!”

“I came to this YAZA Women's Clothing store for some new additions to my wardrobe, and I was impressed by the level of service I received. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The quality of the clothing exceeded my expectations, and the prices were affordable. I left with several stylish pieces, and I'll be recommending this store to all my friends.”
“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!”
“Adorable little shop on Solano Ave., perfect spot for treating oneself or to shop for others! Products are beautifully displayed and tended to by shop owner Ada. My partner picked a "Nature Therapy" hat while I picked up a delicately floral scented perfume, we will definitely visit again!”
“Actually I went to Kohl's to return some things to Amazon but when you return packages to Amazon, they give you a discount and I got a 25% discount to do some shopping at Kohl's. I borrowed some really terrific earrings and some air freshener and a few other things, but my experience there was awesome, especially the 25% discount. So I would highly recommend returning your Amazon packages here because you get a discount of some sort. So how can you go wrong? You return your items and get a discount. What more can I say?”

“Mai's tailoring skills are unsurpassed. She is a true gem; nobody in the bay area compares. And she has very hard to find luxury fabric items that I love to give as gifts and collect myself!”
“Discovered Ms. Thelma many years ago. Her service has been great, consistently, as long as I have known her. One thing I like about her is that, while, of course, sales are important, she is very concerned about customer satisfaction. I don't live in Vallejo, but when I am looking for African attire, Thelma's African Connection is my destination!”

“I went here at the last minute for a ceremony from my native country. I needed an addition to a dress I bought on Amazon and was stressed. The lady there was soooo sweet and accommodating. She dug everywhere to help me find something that could work and saved my life. This was a great place to go for folkloric and traditional clothing ???”
“I ran into this place after going to brunch right before. I decided to stop in and I am so glad I did! First of all, it is adorable, affordable, and Amberina, the store owner, was SO kind!! I found an amazing paperboy cap and one of a kind jewelry. It pains me to say that the store is closing in a couple of months, so you should totally check it out!”
“We stopped by Outback in the Temple of Venus just to browse and ended up having such a lovely experience. Linda is incredibly nice and welcoming — we truly enjoyed chatting with her and learning more about the rich history of Point Richmond. That personal connection made the visit even more special.
The shop has beautiful collections, especially for ladies, with unique pieces you don’t easily find elsewhere. While the men’s selection is smaller, the items they carry — especially the shirts — are very nice and thoughtfully chosen.
If you’re in Point Richmond, this charming boutique is definitely worth a visit. It’s always wonderful to support a local shop with heart, history, and character. Highly recommend!”
“Just had a great visit to pick up a new pair of Equestrian pants (11 y.o. pair is still wearable but snug now). This brand isn't cheap, but 11 years for something I wear often? Amortizes pretty well. Margaret helped me and was just as kind and charming as she's been on previous visits. Great shop w/ lots of interesting accessories, too.”

“My husband and I were assisted by Stephanie, who went above and beyond. She was able to quickly put together an outfit that was exactly what we were looking for and she couldn’t have been nicer while doing it. The store itself is clean, organized and well stocked.”
“This is my new favorite store!
I recently had a couple of styling sessions with Vicki, and she is amazing. She spent so much time with me, patiently explaining which pieces work for my body and why. I left feeling confident, informed, and genuinely cared for – never rushed.
What truly sets this business apart is the level of customer service. When a small issue came up with one item, the owner, Nicole, personally reached out and went above and beyond to make sure I was completely happy. That kind of care and integrity is rare and speaks volumes about how this business treats its customers.
I highly recommend this store!”
“Shop is full of great items. I had a great time shopping! Christy and Michelle had the best customer service. They stayed busy with keeping the floor clean and in order and also assisting customers. I will definitely come back to shop. The only negative comment I will add is that I was not greeted when I came in, but once that particular person, that I didn't mention, saw I purchased something she said "have a good day" when I was leaving. Other than that minutiae incident, everything else was ideal!”
“Le Marche is by far my favorite Boutique, the curated products here you cant find just anywhere and Brandi's attention to detail and quality is amazing! I come here for the custom gift boxes for all my loved ones birthdays and celebrations. The customer service is always on point, they're welcoming, kind and helpful. Stop by, you will not be disappointed!!!”
