2257 Broadway, Oakland“We have picked out beautiful gifts for friends from Palm + Perkins multiple times. This is a great store with a fantastic selection of gorgeous home goods, jewelry, and kitchen items. We mostly stop into the store to browse and we always find many great things, but we have also ordered online to ship out of state, which has been a super reliable way to send something special to someone.”
“This is a very cute business that is located in Albany. I had walked by it several times and was in too much of a hurry to go inside. However, when I went in, the first thing I noticed was the rich green color of the plants. The shop was small, and it was filled with very happy looking plants. The sun shone into the small space and lit everything up.Then I met the wonderful people who work in this space. They were friendly and very kind. They made me feel like hanging out with them. Their dog just laid there while Dom told me their family story.They provide workshops that are open to the public, like how to take care of your plant babies and how to repot plants. You can also take classes to learn how to make art pieces with your plants. If you don’t have the time to repot—they can do it for you.If you don’t have a green thumb, you can even rent plants from them.I loved their warm and friendly vibe that they have created.”
“This is one of the best plant shops in the Bay Area. It doesn't matter whether you are new to gardening or an expert green thumb. Every single plant I've bought here has been healthy, happy and lived - which is saying a lot in my household.”
“Okay so let's start out with it Was our anniversary...So our Vibes brought us here for spiritual Brunch!We were headed elsewhere for brunch ended up here and feed our souls for about 2 hours or more. Lost track of time as if the moment we walked through the threshold it paused the world around us all I heard was ancestral words calming my entire being.(Was it the soundtrack from dancing with wolves ...j.k j.k lol he did have a dope native American and Cuban drums and some flute Playlist going)Yo I can't make this stuff up.I only review places I really like,places I really vibe with. So it was pretty fitting that we walked into theSTONE ROOM 2 ...More like Magical Bazaar! You can turn and look a MILLION different ways inside this little Bodega and still miss something huge and Out Of This World or be ready to pay and be like yup I missed all these. So be ready to spend a couple mins or hours or days exploring this MAGICAL place¡ ? ✨️We got each other some things¡”
“Great items and great pricing. Wish they had a larger selection of some items for more choices but we were still able to find items we were looking for at a stellar price!”
“My wife and I bought a Kurt Østervig Lounge Chair and a G Plan Teak Credenza; they are both fantastic!! The upholstery and fabric exceeded our expectations and the refinishing was perfect. From our initial conversations through delivery, the attention to detail was amazing!
Thanks Desiree and Julian, we look forward to working with again you in the future.”
“It’s such a vibe …perfect place for a mother to listen for my next plant babies to whisper to me?. Also everyone is very knowledgeable and attentive. The plants are priced reasonably and are quality plants”
“It is my first time in Sahara Moroccan Home Decor. The owner, Mostafa is so welcoming and attentive to my needs. He searched his whole store and found me these beautifully designed sets of Moroccan leather pouf ottomans. I highly recommend his store for your decor needs for your home, office or any place. Check out his unique decor, furnitures, and items.”
“We love this table so much! The table was delivered quickly and the website was super helpful! The wood is great quality and heavy and thick and has so much character. Very happy with the quality and efficiency on delivery.”
“Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!! From start to finish a smooth, professional, great quality, beyond my expectations, gorgeous shoji window coverings. Thank you Tim!! We love them!”
“Absolutely beautiful and amazingly crafted stoneware. By far my favorite designs of any pottery shop in all of the Bay Area. All of my pieces have lasted for years, and I get a ton of compliments.Owners are super friendly all around great vibes. They really are working with passion, which is super refreshing.Highly highly recommend!”
“Had a really nice experience buying a gift for a friend. The person working (Max) was really friendly and helpful and he wrapped the gift way better than I could've, for free. I'm about to go back to get another gift and figured I'd leave a review”
“Outstanding service! I always feel welcome when I walk into this heavenly place. And, they carry a wide variety of cards and beautiful and meaningful gifts. I'll definitely buy all my gifts here.”

2820 Eighth St, Berkeley“This is an AMZING place! Very very nice statues, wood carving frames (huge ones), decorative doors and much more for your backyard, front yard entrances etc. We were looking for a Budha statue for our backyard and this was THE BEST PLACE. We looked at many places in the Bay Area and glad we found Gardensia. If you like solid rock (not those made from a mold) statues, this is the place for you! Great customer service as well. T( store owner) was extremely helpful and courteous! Responds very promptly to vm / text messages.The statue we chose was 450 pounds of beautifully carved volcanic rock and T gave us details of someone who would transport it. Everything went smoothly and the Budha was installed with out any issues! It’s the focal point of our backyard!”
“It's like getting into a treasure room. Jocelyn's (the owner) goal is and always was to have a free store, but she needs to pay the store's rent so she does plant sales. I don't know anybody more knowledgeable about plants than her, I got mine from her ages ago and they're thriving. Free UP is open only on Sundays now from 12pm to 3pm. Definitely one of my favorite places.”
“First time shopping at Dimensional and not disappointed! I thought buying discount furniture wouldn’t be this enjoyable. Better selection of furniture and accessories than I thought I’d find. Customer service on point and don’t forget to look at the catalogs because you can order stuff ?”
“Great selection of quality singing bowls. The owner was very helpful in suggesting several bowls. Super happy with my purchase. Make sure to ask for the Yelp 15% discount (assuming it still applies).”

1803 Fourth St, Berkeley“My partner and I have loved Marisa Mason since they opened. Amazing place for gifts (and some things for myself too). I haven’t gotten to try their permanent jewelry offering yet, but I’m so excited to!
Their pierces are impeccably made, and the one time I snapped a necklace they fixed it for me!”

3982 Piedmont Ave, Oakland“We love Bella Ceramica -- just walking into your store is like being in an art gallery, with all the lovely colors. We don't get there very often, but love it when we do.”
“I adore this place. Each time I come I spend more time than I planned to because of the great selection. What is nice is you can spend a lot of money on fancy tiles but they also have excellent deals on more modest (but still gorgeous) tiles. Some of the small 1x1 tiles were even on sale for 50 cents each. I'll post pictures of our fireplace when it's all done- we are so excited about the tiles.”
11AM - 5PM
1250 Solano Ave, Albany“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!”
“Uchi is a wonderful place run by a local owner. I found a beautiful teak shelf of high quality. Tom was very kind and helpful and offered us outstanding customer service.”
“Out of all the WaistBeads shops I’ve visited here in and around Oakland, this is the best! I would give her 10 stars if I could. Besides being the most friendly woman on the planet, her work , her craftsmanship is beyond measure! Immaculate , God bless this woman ??”
11AM - 6PM
5640 College Ave, Oakland“From Tara-Nicholle's review - "totally stuffed to the gills" may be the biggest selling point and biggest gripe I have with Maison d'Etre. It's nearly impossible to move around when there's more than a handful of people in this shop, but that inspires you to look at everything more closely and enjoy every detail and the curation by the owners. They do have lots of handmade items, minimal vintage, and anything you could want to gift your friends and loved ones, and more often than note a treat for yourself too!”
11AM - 5PM
847 Cornell Ave, Albany“My absolute favorite local shop for gifts and home goods! I’ve bought everything from ceramics to jewelry to clothing there - they always have a beautifully curated selection and truly stellar customer service.”

5695 Bay St, Emeryville“I have been a customer since 2012. The only place I buy my Shea butter. Tangerine is my absolute favorite. I have turned on five family members who now also love tangerine, strawberry and mango. The black soap, coconut oil, and raw Shea butter are just a few of the amazing things you can find here. I have a cowrie, necklace, and, real wood giraffe statues. I must grab a chess set before the month is over. A pillar in the community! I highly recommend. Such an amazing store. Feels like home!”
11AM - 5PM
971 Moraga Rd, Lafayette“What a find!!!!!!! Such a cool shop with wonderful artistic items. I wanted so many things but narrowed down to two that I will cherish forever. The owner was so friendly and helpful. This shop is my to go place for gifts for others as well as myself!!!!”
“Emrick was amazing to work with. He did a great job of consulting us to find the best fit. He spent a lot of time with us to make sure we were 100% satisfied with our project and really handled our design with care. He kept up updated through the process and everything was delivered on time.”
“Finally made my way over to McMullen and it exceeded my expectations! The store is truely stunning, everywhere you turn phenomenal taste. We came over to get a dress for my mom for my wedding and the ladies picked out some wonderful pieces I never would have thought she’d try on, exceptional service. I couldn’t believe have much inventory they had, we could have been there all day and left with a whole new fall and special occasion wardrobe. Feels like I finally have a place to shop in person in the Bay Area again, can’t wait to go back!”
