“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“I often pop in here to get second hand clothes or shoes for my kids. Recently it was my son's 4th birthday and we were all home sick. He had been asking everyday for over a month if his birthday was tomorrow and if he could please have a spider stuffie. He was so sad to miss his birthday at school and I had had no time to buy him a present because we had back ti back illnesses for a month. I called Kelly's corner, they had one and asked if I could pay over the phone and have her toss it out the door to me so as not to infect anyone .she was so sweet and offered to drive the gift to my house (we lived nearby)after work. She even wrapped it in a gift bag and added a few trinkets. It made his day and meant so much to me. Thank you!”
“This store is SO beautiful and bright. Sometimes i go in and look around just to brighten my mood. Ive gotten some of my most cherished clothes here. Also a great place to find fun gifts for others.”
“You HAVE to come here if you’re looking for gifts for little ones - we stopped in to buy a gift on the way to a 1 year olds party and found the perfect thing + a card. They even wrapped it up in gift wrapping free of charge. Small business like this make all the difference.”
“I’m so grateful to have discovered this little gem of a kids’ consignment shop. I’ve shopped here several times now, and I recently tried consigning too. Of course you’re not going to get top dollar with any consignment, but I really appreciate how carefully they go through everything, and how fair their pricing feels. For maternity and higher-end items they’ll consign, but for most pieces they offer cash or store credit on the spot, which is super convenient.
The prices are fantastic, with shirts and pants often starting around three or four dollars. Most of the brands are solid mid-range like H&M, Cat & Jack, Gap, and Old Navy, but I’ve also scored some great higher-end finds like Hanna Andersson and Little Sleepies. It has honestly become my number one place to pick up kids’ gifts, and I’ve recommended it to all my mom friends.
Unlike other consignment stores, especially the one on the same block, this place is truly wonderful and an absolute pleasure to shop at. Such a great resource, and the two ladies who run the shop couldn’t be lovelier. Exactly the kind of small business I’m thrilled to support.”
“This place is wonderful!! It’s my go to for a great present for a baby. I love that they have both new and used stuff, and the sale rack is legit. The people who work there are kind and helpful. It’s so cool that you can sell your high quality baby clothes if you don’t have anyone on the hand me down train. Highly recommended!!”
“Eloisa at Bay Thread is an exceptional collaborator for anyone looking to bring an apparel project from idea to reality. I’ve been consistently impressed by her pattern-making expertise, attention to detail, and thoughtful approach to solving design challenges. I came to Eloisa with a few atypical manufacturing considerations, and from the beginning she was a great thought partner—offering clear guidance and strategy so that her final patterns and tech packs translated my design ideas into something production-ready. Beyond her pattern-making skills, she has strong relationships with local Bay Area manufacturers, creating a clear path to production that she manages from start to finish. I would absolutely work with Bay Thread again on my next project.”
“Big thank you to Nat for helping us plan our gender reveal! Sorry to have put you on the spot like that. We are lucky that such a wonderful person with a big heart works for carters. This was our first time shopping here but we'll be back soon. Thanks again!”
“I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent customer service at this Old Navy. All of the ladies I interacted with were super helpful and friendly.I came in for essentials and was helped finding the items, the right size, and in the fitting room.”
“I went there today need to find a specific type color n size of hoodie, all of the employee that I Spock with were nice and friendly. Store were organized like usual. Old Navy good and great place always !
At the cashier section onw of the staff “Dalyia” she very helpful helped me to look for the item on the website and called another employee which she helped me found the right size to try it out ( unfortunately didn’t get her name of the seconde person ) but she was great too. There were another employee I think she was the shift manger she answer the question explained about the shipment process if I want to pick the item.Thanks for all of the staff ??”
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience here finding my wedding dress! They had an incredible selection, everyone was so kind and helpful and I couldn't love my wedding dress anymore! 10 out of 10 would absolutely recommend anyone looking to get a gorgeous dress!”
“Awesome place!!! Has the best island swag. Totally worth the trip. Reasonably priced too! The woman who was there was extremely nice and helpful. I heard her helping a person before me and she was special ordering something because she didn't have the specific size and color they wanted. Service! Very appreciative native that turned tourist who wanted to take a bit of the island with me.”
“We've been looking for a local spot to go for great gifts and children's selections.
The staff makes this place extra special. Thank you for the help! I think we got ~4 kids squared away today haha”
“I purchased some jeans GAP online during at 50% off sale. However, one pair did not fit well and I wanted to exchange it for a slim cut. Not having had to do an online return, I text chatted with a customer service rep and she explained the steps to return the pants, reorder and pay for the new pants and that it would take up to 25 business days for my return to be processed and credit to be issued. Not wanting to deal with the process, I decided to do the exchange at a store. GAP has been closing many locations and stores are few and far in between. Luckily the nearest store was only 9 miles away at the Lakeshore area and I found a parking space down the block.There was no wait and I was able to walk up to the cashier and explained my intent to do an exchange. She said I would be credited for my purchase, but I would have to purchase the new jeans at the current price and not at the price I paid, which didn't make sense. She said she would get a manager to help me. A manager came and I explained my situation and he checked if the pants I wanted was in stock and it wasn't. So he ordered it online and it would be sent to me and processed my return. The pants went down in price so I even go a credit for the difference. I was happy to get my exchange done at the store and not have to deal with the steps required for an online return. It was not simple like a return on Amazon. Though the cashier did not understand the exchange I wanted to transact, I appreciated that the manager made the exchange transaction seamlessly.”
“Nice big and clean store. Staff were friendly. We bought 8 pieces of clothing and we were planning to split the load to carry them to the car without buying a shopping bag. The worker gave us a large bag and after we told him we didn’t pay for it, he gestured it’s ok. Great service.”
“My favorite thrift store in the east bay. The selection is truly unbeatable and the volunteer staff are kind and dedicated. However, the new(ish) layout is totally inferior to the way it used to be. I’ve given it some time and an open mind, but I really just hate the way things are laid out now! I loved when the clothing racks and regular/vintage home goods were all on the left hand side and the fancier ceramics and home items were on the right. It’s hard to say why, but the flow of the new space is just really unpleasant. I’ve been back fewer times since the remodel because of the layout, it’s just no longer as relaxing of a shopping experience and is now much more crammed and stressful. I miss the old Bambino. While I’ll remain a loyal customer, I can’t say I’ll be seeking out trips to the shop as regularly. Hopefully they come to their senses and bring back the old layout. ?❤️”
“My favorite store in the Berkeley/Oakland area brimming with beautiful and unique gifts and useful and lovely items for home and to treat oneself. Nice staff that let you shop quietly without being fussed over which I really appreciate. I usually use up the maximum meter time and Christmas time is magical there.”
“Malls are becoming ghost towns but I'm so glad Southland has "cool" stores for teens. Last minute school shopping for my daughter went to H&M, forever21 and she even got a piercing ?”
“Man I love oaklandish! If you want some oakland gear this is the place to go! They have a high price tag BUT I do know that this company does Hella work with the community. So yeah you'll spend a bit but it's worth it. I'd highly recommend going here for any of your oakland gear needs. 10/10.”
“Love this store. I find some great, good quality used clothes for all of my children. Great for birthday gifts for their friends too. Great blend of used and new items. Staff is always friendly as well.”
“The employees are really friendly. Good vibe, the inside of the store is pretty cool. I love all the stuff I got here, there's something for everyone and a good selection of sizes. Unique pieces that you can't find just anywhere. The inventory changes pretty regularly so if you see something you like get it when you can!!”

“The men’s store is literally separated from the women’s and children’s shop by two stores, and are not connected. Perhaps it’s the prevailing style trend but I didn’t see a lot of colors in the stores. A lot of blacks, greys, blues and some earth tones and pastels. The women’s store definitely looked like they had more attractive sales. Please add some seating for the non-shopping spouses.”
“I had such a great experience at the Emeryville Levi’s store! One of the girls who helped me was amazing, she made everything so easy, and was super helpful. Shopping for jeans can sometimes be stressful, but she made it such a positive experience. Thank you for the excellent customer service!”
“A pretty pricey store but they carry elegant beautiful dresses esp for special occasions I bought my kids outfits here for their first Christmas photo they also had the perfect white newborn dresses for my baby’s blessing I highly recommend purchasing here for special occasions it’s worth the money & memory speaking from personal experience”
“Alexis is amazing!! I came in with a return for an online order of $299. It was about 30-35 pieces of clothing. I came in right as soon as they opened hoping it would be fast. Apparently when making a return they have to have the items in order because they need to manually type in the price of each item after you scan them. (So d**** in my opinion) So i decided to help her organize each item by the list on the return form. Not even 20 minutes and the line was getting long, fast. However Alexis was a great help! She was efficient, didn't make me feel anyway for taking up so much of her time. The manager (a man) on the other hand was rude!! I seen him giving me ugly looks because I was keeping his staff a while doing the return. And the line was getting long, fast. So someone needs to talk to him about customer service. Alexis was amazing! Did my full return for me and did it happily, i wish I could've tipped her but since it's retail I hope her manager see's this yelp review and congratulates her in some way, shape or form for her outstanding customer service. Thank you!”
“JCPenney Portraits was a great experience. It was a portrait session, and the photographer—a very accommodating and patient lady (I wish I remembered her name)—made everything feel relaxed and easy. I was really happy with how the portraits turned out.”
