“I went in to go and get a skirt for folklorico and the lady who helped me was really nice I asked if she had a certain color and she went to go and find it in the back for me she measured me to make sure it would fit and brought it to the counter and it was much cheaper then most stores I've bought enough them from I will most definitely be coming back.”
“Dhoom India Fashion has some of the nicest clothes! I bought a lehenga, and the lady there, Aradhana, helped us a lot. She helped me find the right size, something affordable, and gave me exactly what i was looking for!! The prices are very good and affordable compared to many other places. I definitely recommend, as you will get good prices, good quality of clothes, and amazing customer 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!”
“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.”
“Vanessa was EXCEPTIONAL! Wonderful customer service, communication & respect. Las Bonitas handled the decorations & photography for my daughter's Sweet 16 and I am beyond Pleased! Would 100% recommend!”

“Flaunt is marketing at its best. Every time I remove something from the shelf it’s immediately replaced, so that it always looks appealing and not cluttered or with an obvious gapping hole. I love going in and looking around.”
“Spencer’s at Southland Mall is always a fun store to visit. They have really unique and trendy merchandise, and I especially like the promotions they run from time to time. The store has a cool vibe and it’s fun just browsing around to see what’s new. The staff were friendly and welcoming as well. Definitely a great stop if you’re looking for something different or a fun gift.”
“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.”
“Great service and clean store. We had a great time shopping the sale over the weekend. We had an instance where we had to go back and do a return and the manager was very kind and professional. We love this store ! The mens section is very well organized and the women's has an extensive sale section. Quick and friendly service at the register. Thank you !”
“I bought a few items from this gift shop and I can’t wait to go back to get more stuff! There are so many different options and the owner is so kind and patient. I highly recommend it!!”
“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 DDs, it’s clean, well organized, and well stocked. They have a ton of home goods and accessories, I always look forward to a trip here so I can find good deals.”

“I wish I could give them a 10 rating. They deserve it! My dresses arrived today and they are gorgeous! The craftsmanship and attention to detail is impossible to find any where else. They are stunning in everyday. Thank you so very much for your beautiful clothing and fantastic customer service! Simply the best!”

“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.”
“Clean, organized store with friendly staff. You can try on as many items of clothing in the fitting rooms as possible which is so nice they even have these cool screens that detect what clothes you have any tell you prices and other info such as color availability. Lots of items on sale.”
“Whenever I shop at Lilac I find an amazing selection of casual, formal and workwear for all ages, shapes and sizes for both Men and Women. I am always welcomed by friendly staff and have found beautiful pieces of clothing that last and are dear to me. Shopping locally in Alameda feels great but even better with this gem of a store that has served this town for many years.”
“Nordstrom Rack on Marina Boulevard in San Leandro is one of our favorite places to shop for great deals. The store is clean, well organized, and offers a wide selection of clothing, shoes, accessories, and home items at discounted prices.
We often find quality brands at excellent prices, and the inventory changes frequently, making each visit feel like a treasure hunt. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the checkout process is usually quick and efficient.
If you're looking for designer brands and everyday essentials at a discount, this Nordstrom Rack is definitely worth a visit. ?️?”
“The reason it's not 5 stars is because it's fairly small , hence not a lot of merchandise but other than that, it's a clean store and the stuff is very helpful, at least the staff at the cashier.
Extra points for always having your pick up order ready and figured out, unlike their sister Gap Factory, where the stuff doesn't know very well what's going on.
The stuff is treating the customers like they are shopping in a BR store, not a BR factory store. I wish staff at neighbor Nordstrom Rack had the same attitude.”
“Flew into town with no luggage not expecting a long stay luckily this Ross dress for less was not far. Considering the amount of mixed aged Clothing- I was still able to come up with something the location is super convenient next to the beauty supply that has all of the accessories that they don’t I might make traveling without luggage a thing now. Thanks Ross in the photo we have a Tommy Hilfiger waterproof purse, a pair of red strappys found in the shoe section a urban nation jersey and a button down sports bra by pro fit seamless”

“Very quaint and fully-stocked store. Location is very central and only a block away from the Al-Huda masjid as well. The owner was very welcoming and helpful during my shopping experience there. The racks are well organized and I even bought an adorable grey thobe for my son, as well as a grey embellished abaya for myself. It always feels nice to help a small business when I am able.”
“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.”
