“I have had nothing but positive experiences shopping at Mike's Shoes! I shop here for shoes, insoles, and compression socks. I have purchased dressy sandals and pumps, casual shoes, and my comp toe work boots from Mike's Shoes. They sell top quality products at competitive prices. They also have great sales! At my most recent visit, I and my elderly mother were both shopping for shoes. The salesperson assisting us was EXTREMELY helpful, patient, and kind. I am so grateful to have such a nice shoe store with such excellent customer service close to home. I definitely recommend this store to others.”
“Great selection with above & beyond service! I stopped in at the end of the day to get a gift for a friend and her new horse. Everyone was wonderful, thank you!”
“Stumbled across this excellent versatile boutique while walking downtown SLO. So many super cute dresses, with a wide range of genres to suit diverse tastes. Styles include rockabilly, goth, punk, pin-up, and many more with a creative eye.
Sizes are inclusive up to XL, and even some XXL options. As a petite plus pear body type, I thoroughly appreciated finding niche styles that I could try on and see the fit (unlike online ordering where it's a hit or miss, and you either have to return it or settle with an awkard fit).
The owner (or passionate employee?) is also very engaging and can help you find great cuts to try for your body type! She makes it a great shopping experience. Plus, the prices are reasonable with clearance options as well.
I highly recommend any alternative girlies to check this place out!”
“I had the most incredible time shopping at Ambiance. They have an amazing selection and quality of their pieces is so high. Everything was unique and had that “oomph” that makes clothing special. Layli helped me find timeless but unique pieces, and she helped me style them together. As a busy mom who never has time to shop, I really appreciated my time at Ambiance.”
“This lovely little shop has a variety of amazing, beautiful products. The staff and owners were so helpful and extremely friendly. Every experience I have had here has been exceptional. I strongly suggest going to this quaint shop in downtown San Luis Obispo, I will definitely be going back ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“If you want to know what makes SLO a place people want to live, that spirit is alive and well here! One of my wife's favorite little shops. Just the friendliest staff who care deeply about the city and the people in it. Support the locals!”
“Such a cute shop with fun trinkets and the cutest clothes! Stopped here during a weekend getaway and found some gifts to take home. Mackenzie was very sweet from the moment we walked in, giving the shop that friendly small business feel. She gently packaged up our items and sent us on our way with a smile. Thank you!”
“Always a great experience coming to this store… the workers clearly care about their customers. It’s in a nice spot downtown so it’s hard not to stop by when I’m in the area!”

“This was a nice shop that had lots of souvenirs and other clothing items. We purchased some souvenirs here and the shop employee was very friendly and it was fun to look around.”
“The buckles are WORTHLESS on the denim overalls. I have had 2 pairs and the buckled have broken on both pairs. They will send you new buckles but they are a Pain to replace them. Very frustrating for an otherwise great product.”
“Loved my shopping experience at the SLO Anthro! Rebecca was amazingly thorough, knowledgeable, and full of positive energy in my search for the perfect pair of jeans. She knows her inventory! Made a typically frustrating process a total delight. Found exactly what I wanted and more! Best styling help ever!”
“Great selection of threads and shoes. Very competitive prices, check here instead of thrifting first for some sweet finds. Incredible hospitality from the staff- they're knowledgeable and will help you find a great deal!They host a lot of live music from local and touring artists as well, so keep your eyes and ears out downtown when passing by.”
“I came in and I was helped by one of the girls on the staff, Zoe. I was able to find the perfect outfit I needed for a gift. Super cute clothes and amazing customer service!”
“Absolutely loved my experience here. The store itself is beautiful, but what truly made the visit unforgettable was Hanna. She was beyond helpful & her energy was infectious, she genuinely cared about making the experience fun and effortless!”
“This shop is filled with lots of beautiful things. I've been shopping there for years and always seem to find something pretty to wear. Their Johnny Was clothes are always fun and accessories are unique. They always have a sale rack for those looking for a deal. The owners and employees are friendly and are quick to greet those coming in to look around. The only thing that can be difficult is finding parking right in front as the downtown area keeps taking away parking spaces. Good news, there is a parking structure a block or so away. So if you are in San Luis and want something new to wear, whether trendy or classic, stop in and check them out.”
“This has turned into a 1 stop shop for me. Hats, jeans, boots, shirts you name it my wife, granddaughter and I love it. Right off the freeway, super friendly staff and always right on the money!”
“Beautiful store, friendly staff, good prices, welcoming, great atmosphere, very creative designs every where you look. Loved the framed plants on the wall. Will be back again!”
“Shopping with Steph!
I love my Lulu’s. They are my everyday attire, especially after busting out of quarantine. Today I see PINK, WHITE & BLUE are trending + some girly tennis wear. I’m grateful guys like DEREK are standing with affirmations reminding me (ALL of US) “You are everything you need to be.””
“Stopped in to Old Navy cause it's getting cold up here in the beach areas at night and we needed a few sweatshirts. Needless to say they were having an outrageous sale and even their clearance items were 40% off of the clearance prices. Andrew was so helpful upon checkout and provided stellar customer service and good conversation. A very clean, well stocked and organized store. Great selections!
Highly recommended”

“I love this store! Iit has unique clothes. I found some of my favourite clothes there. And the girls who work in the store, Gee and Adalina are so nice and fun and honestly helpful”
“Wow, what a difference in prices!
I was looking for a similar belt to a $135 one from a competitor…$19.99…same quality but way more realistic at the Rack. Thank you!”
“Update:
They actually cleaned up and organized the store. It looks like a new manager actually cares about the store. The place is much more organized and cleaner. The roof still makes me quesy as it's tilted in.
Old:
This store is the most dirty store I've ever been in. Thier is stuff on and trash all over the floor. Thiers used cups in muiltiple places. Also the roof is tilting in and looking at it makes my uneasy.”
“I bought a couple wonderful gifts online from humankind fair trade. My order was filled and shipped within 24 hours. The wind chime I bought had a handmade bell from India and it was beautiful. I also ordered a handcrafted Tibetan men’s shirt for my husband that had beautiful craftsmanship. Highly recommend this unique shop.”
