“I accidentally forgot to put postage on our nephew's birthday card and realized my mistake just as I dropped the card into the big blue post box outside the post office. I waited and waited for the card to be returned only to learn on our nephew's birthday that he had received the card after all! The amazing folks (who are always so friendly in person) at Orinda post office had put a stamp on the card. They went above and beyond and we really appreciate them!”

“A fun, zig-zaggy ride along Pinehurst Road leads to the secluded, forgotten hamlet of Canyon, CA, & this obscure, secretive landmark. Not much at the spot itself, although the forest surrounding have hiking opportunities galore. The drive up into town is clearly marked Private, & palpably UNwelcoming, so respect the locals’ privacy, & move on without intruding.”

“Never thought I’d write a positive review for a post office, but I left feeling incredibly impressed at the service I received here. I came in with a large box that was probably 50% full. Seeing how high the shipping cost was, he helped me find a smaller box and hacked it so my items fit perfectly into the box, saving me $50. I can’t believe he took the time to help me, going above and beyond when he did not have to. Thank you Freddy!”

“I didn't catch the name of the staff member who assisted me today, but she was amazing! Very friendly, patient, and made the mailing process super smooth. There was a long line but it moved quickly. Nicest service I've ever had at a postal office.”

“A much smaller post office with only one worker in the front but you'll get the customer experience that is severely lacking at all the other nearby post offices. The postal worker today was amazing. She was very nice - explained everything with detail and patience when I had questions. This office is a little more out-of-the-way for me, but I'll be using it regularly.”

“Good little community post office with lots of PO Boxes. I don’t think I’ve ever had to wait in line here. I do frequently come with all my postage purchased online, so I just drop off 90% of the time. I do often purchase stamps at the counter, staff are always very friendly and take time to show me the seasonal stamps and cute special editions. I send a lot of snail mail for fun. It’s one of the least busy, and friendliest post offices in the entire east bay.”

“As of 7/1/2023 these are the Hours of Operation at 11135 San Pablo Avenue. Having evening access to the lobby on a Saturday was / is super helpful - including the sizable drop box that fits up to a Flat Rate Medium Box #2.”

“When I first moved to California in August 2015, I brought a lot of things with me that I did not know if I would need. Where I was living, on Spruce Street, was close to this US Post Office in North Berkeley, so if I needed to ship anything back to Washington State - this is where I came. We would get flat rate boxes, and then I would fill and ship them as needed.Traveling past on foot a number of times, I saw the lines could be very long. So, I would think through what I really wanted to send back (introspection and prioritization) to reduce the number of times I needed to come and ship belongings to Washington State. Even coming early/off hours, there was a wait - but the line moved briskly and the workers were fast and professional.”

“Ramon rocks and is the glue that holds this post office together. Not sure what we'll all do when he retires. But, I wish him the best of luck when he does and thank him for all of his helpful service over the years.”

“Went to the post office to ship a package and mail some letters. I arrived a little after 11:30 and the line was out the door. It took about 15 minutes before I was served. Maybe 10-10:30 is the golden hour. It would be nice if there was a dedicated parking lot, but I have a feeling the majority of patrons are walk-ups. I appreciate their constant cleanliness, knowledgeable employees, and their constant stock of domestic and international stamps.”

“The hours are incorrect. As of 7/11, this location is not open on weekends and on weekdays they close at 430pm. Whoever is responsible for updating hours should update this. Thank you!”

“The lines are always a little bit long, but the center is always stocked with all the supplies I need. The employees are cool. I don't know why people are saying they are rude. The customers are usually giving them a hard time and they try really hard not to be rude back. Service jobs are tough. Parking sucks, though. I agree with that statement.”

“I love this post office. The sistah that works in the far corner is so incredibly helpful and proficient at her job. She is so on it, that I usually leave feeling better than I walked in because she makes the experience so pleasant and clear. If it weren't for parking I would use this post office exclusively. I will say that the USPS should update the equipment. Some of the machines seem like they haven't been updated since before Regan was president.”

“I have never had a bad experience at this location. The clerks have always been friendly and helpful. In fact I applaud them for working in such a challenging environment. Lack of leadership, at the top, (De Joy), covid, lack of employees, and long hours, have made a very difficult working situation for these people. I think them for their perseverance.”

“This post office is beautiful as are the hearts of the folks who work here. We followed the suggested time for open hours of passport processing on here as it says after 4 pm. We were told kindly yesterday that passport processing ended at 3:30 and given forms to complete at home to quicken the process. Erica was informative and awesome and recommended we return as early as possible next time to ensure we can get help. Today, we did just that! We arrived a little after 9 am. They open at 9. One family was finishing up their application and then we were able to apply for a new passport book for our son as well as submit my renewal. We left by 9:30 am. The hours for passport processing online are misleading. Postal workers are doing their best with reduced staff and pay. People reserve spots and then don’t show up! Yesterday there were 22 appointments and only 10 of those people even went. So there was a lot of time to go and be kind and patient. Try to go early!!”

“I came into this post office as a walk-in (2x2 pictures already in hand) to complete and mail off a expedited passport application. As I was waiting in line there was already a person being helped for the same thing. I heard the clerk being super helpful with her passport application so I though, great! I really didn't want to mess it up. Another clerk called me up next and I told her I had a passport application, she immediately grabbed the envelope and began placing my application inside and asked me to confirm everything was correct. I told her, I was hoping she could verify that. She told me "I'm not a passport technician" I said, ok I would like to wait for someone who is. She told me to get bak in line. I got Ebony and let me tell you, Ebony was gracious, had a good attitude, and helped me get my application in order and mailed off. Originally she had forgotten to have me sign the application at the end, she realized within a few minutes and called my cell phone to ask me to come back! That shows true attention to detail and going out of her way to correct it. Imagine if that was sent off without being signed. Super grateful for Ebony and her helpfulness.”
