Really enjoyed my experience there—the staff was super helpful and selected outfits that fit my needs. Special shout-out to Kristin, Becca and Katie for knowing their inventory and making it fun.

Sales associates are very unprofessional and rude. I will not be going back. Since management change the store has gone downhill.

Used to love this place. Been shopping at Avanti for 16 years. The brands have gone cheap and styles seem redundant. Staff is always awkward, following you around and avoiding eye contact. Not very friendly. Doesn’t accept returns, FYI.They lost a good manager / buyer about 4 years ago and haven’t been the same since. Hoping to delete this review in future when they step it up.

San Francisco, CA 303403 best place in town. they not only have a nice selection but they are ripping you off like another business on this street. I especially liked their attitude - it was happy. they smile at you like they really want to help you. and they do.

I absolutely LOVE Avanti! I have been vacationing in SLO for over three decades and make it a point to stop by and shop every single trip. And now that they’re on IG I shop through their DMs and always enjoy the selection, service, and super cute inventory! I just bought an adorable new summer dress and boots from one of their posts this week.Thank you Kristin and team, you guys are the best!

Great place to shop while I was in town visiting. Very happy with my new boots. Wish they had an online store though

Was in Avanti SLO about 10 minutes ago, staff didn’t bother to acknowledge me, even though they acknowledged every other person that walked in and asked if they needed help…very disappointed!!

Love the merchandise but disappointed that the county mask ordinance was not enforced. Heard an employee say to a guest asking if they needed to put a mask on "No, you're ok"

The young sales associates circled my daughters and I the entire time we were in the store, but did not offer genuine assistance. My two teenage daughters were completely ignored!!! They acted as if were were going to steal by consistently rushing us to make a decision and not letting us hold our items. We are people of color, and are not new to this kind of behavior, unfortunately, this is not the first time I have experienced this treatment in this store. I purchased an it

Unfortunately, this is not the first time I have experienced this treatment in this store. I purchased an item for $100, because I love the brand and have been looking for that particular color, but would not patronize this business again. Disappointed to say the least. As a business leader, I would want to know when my employees are not giving equal service. Please take this review and educate your employees. There is a fine line between customer service and biased service.

I went in the other evening when 2 blonde women were working. They were both pleasant people. One of them was super nice and courteous- she took all my items to the dressing room for me and frequently asked how I was doing. Definitely more of an upscale experience. I ended up leaving with a faux suede jacket from BB Dakota, a brand I had never heard of. I enjoyed the experience and the clothes were nice, from many different brands, and I would definitely go back.The few downsides were that everything seemed priced up beyond the quality and sizing is limited. Fortunately I am only a L, so I was easily able to find things I liked but good luck to anybody bigger than me. You really need to at least carry XL... it isn’t even that big or “plus size”. It’s equivalent to XS which you do carry plenty of.

Super cute shop and I was very interested in quite a few items. To be specific a Hobo bag, a wallet and a cardigan. The sales associates totally ignored me, even when I stood I front of the display fixture for quite awhile. I am a retail manager and know that engagement or even acknowledging a customer is key. But I guess since I wasn’t carrying a Louis Vuitton I didn’t matter. Sorry you lost out on a $500 sale

Bought a dress here yesterday and had the best customer service! They had a great selection and reasonable prices. I wish they were closer to me!

I had a terrible experience. The customer service is terrible. I had to stand waiting to get something from hung up very high for 30 minutes for anyone to acknowledge me. Also I spent over $300 on my birthday dress that broke before I got to even wear it. I went back to return it the next day and they wouldn't let me. They are also very rude to their employees.

Chic clothing for the younger set, although I purchase a few things now and then. The owners keep up with fashion, and that's fun to look at. Super sales clerks.
