I love this store! The tiles are beautiful and the selection is excellent! The employees are wonderful! Honestly, everyone was so helpful and really went out of their way to help us solve problems. Very professional read more

They are very attentive and really help you get your design right. I ordered 3 different tile and one of the shipments was incorrect. The team at Art Tile was able to fix the issue and my contractor was able to keep working. I appreciate everything they did and would definitely use them again and tell my friends to do the same. I will try to add a picture of the finished product in the future. read more

Great tile options, friendly and knowledgeable people, great prices..... if you love life and love Oakland, this is the place! They totally coached me on my first home tile job that I did, and it totally worked out! Thank you! read more

Selection is excellent. We were looking for a backsplash tile and went to a few stores as well as ordered 3-4 samples online. We were impressed with the selection here. They had zellige, talavera, and custom order artisanal tiles. Price is OK not good. On one tile I was interested in, the quote here was ~$20/sqft while it was ~$15/sqft at another local store. Service is OK. For one tile we were interested in, there were no samples and it took a few weeks before one was available. read more

I recently remodeled our bathroom. For the bathtub walls, I knew I wanted an accent wall, book-ended by two large format walls of a very simple tile. A plumber recommended I go by Oakland Art Tile - I'm so glad I did. I found many beautiful tiles that I was so grateful to see in person. They had a large selection, and I immediately fell in love with what we now have as our feature wall - a ~2.5"x8" tile with a soft blue/white ombre-type effect. It's beautiful! They also had a large format tile that beautifully complements the smaller tile. Eve was incredibly helpful every step of the way - selecting the tile, getting quotes, and selecting the accessories, including the grout. I highly recommend Oakland Art Tile! read more

I called to see if they carry a specific brand of tile. She'd never heard of the brand, and asked me to send a website. I sent a URL showing the tile. She said we don't work with that distributor. I said the website was random, I was inquiring about the BRAND of tile, not the distributor. She said I should call another store because they don't work with that distributor. Nothing could deter her from saying this over and over again. She may understand how the tile world works, but she couldn't handle communicating about the difference between a distributor of tiles and a specific brand of tile. I will take my business elsewhere, as she advised. I guess she deserves a star for that recommendation! read more

While they have a nice selection of tile, their customer service leaves something to be desired. I ordered tile from them which was picked up by my contractor. Art Tile quite clearly ordered the wrong tile. My contractor misunderstood what I wanted and therefore didn't recognize that the incorrect tile had been ordered. When the error was discovered 2 months later, Art Tile did absolutely nothing to help rectify the error relying on their policy that errors have to be reported within 30 days. Admittedly the mistake was in part mine (thus 2 stars), but they didn't lift a finger to help other than to suggest that the incorrect tile could be donated. I expect a lot more from a vendor. Also, beware that they charge 3% to pay by credit card. read more

Andrea was wonderful - really knowlegeable, and she went out of her way to research great options to help us out of a problem when our first tile store accidentally sent us the wrong tiles. Great selection here too - the tile she found us was beautiful. read more

Marta was amazing. I had a budget to stick to and she went here and there and found exactly what I wanted.

Don't waste your time going anywhere else. Marta and staff were not only really pleasant but soooo easy to work with. Going in, we pretty much had our mind made up on colors and types of tiles, however, Marta it abundantly clear that there were so many more options to our very small guest bathroom remodel. She took the time to sit down with us for an hour choosing styles and options and at the end of our session I was more than happy to place our order, which by the way, is supposed to arrive within 4-5 days from our original consultation. Try going to a big box tile store and see if you even get the attention of a sales person let alone someone who cares. read more

Great variety of in stock product line from Schluter/Kerdi and excellent Contractor pricing. Having worked with Tommy from Import Tile ( now with Art tile) for over 20 years, I've decided to follow him over. His knowledge of tile and superior service are hard to come by. All the staff have been absolutely pro and greatly appreciated, if any of you, the staff read this and comment in person, I'll buy a case of quality Beer lol! read more

I went to Art Tile just to try and find some little decorative colorful border trim. I had already decided to put white subway tile in, but wanted to spruce it up a bit. Art Tile had exactly what I was looking for, an assortment of different styles and a wide selection of colors to choose from. My contractor and I measured carefully how much we would need in linear feet and ordered a little extra. When I went to pick it up, Art Tile had given me 2 extra ones. Very nice! Good thing they did as we ended up needing all but one. Would have been a hassle if we were short one tile as it takes 2 weeks to make them. Hint, if your design has a lot of corners, order even more than you think. Turned out great, check out the photos. And, everyone is very nice and helpful in the shop. read more

We had a fantastic time working with Eve on our tile for a kitchen renovation. She was very patient with us throughout our project as we visited multiple times to reconsider our options. We ended up going with Akdo subway tiles and are so beyond thrilled with the result. Ordering and pickup were super easy even during Covid and Eve helped facilitate the process. Tiles are high quality and we were still able to stay within our budget. Showroom is great and they have so many options on display. Highly recommend Art Tile! read more

We remodeled our master bathroom and were shopping for shower and floor tiles. I loved the selections in this shop and found my choices easily. Andrea was invaluable in suggesting tile colors/styles to compliment my vanity. Her attention to detail including choosing the perfect grout color to compliment the tiles were helpful. I love the tiles in my new bathroom, and they do look like "art" to me. We appreciated the excellent customer service from Art Tile and for their help in making this remodel a pleasant and successful experience. read more

Fantastic experience working with Marta. She helped us to design 3 bathrooms and a kitchen, it was an iterative process and she proved to be tasteful, patient, and a real pleasure to work with. Highly recommend. read more

Great product. Very helpful picking out just the right tile. Picked up my product and installing this week. read more

Good selection, great- no. Small and quite overpriced. I felt like they are just middlemen. All the tile was from other vendors that you can buy directly from the vendors website. Andrea, while nice and tasteful, never emailed quotes of the tile we chose and forgot about an appointment. Service needs work. read more

Fantastic selection and people to walk you through every step of the process. No pressure whatsoever from the very knowledgeable staff. We came by several times early in the process just to look and consider and everyone was very helpful and patient. When it was time to actually order, Eve spent two hours with me helping me figure out how much and what I needed based on our designs. I couldn't recommend this place or Eve or the whole staff more! read more

Art Tile is awesome for many reasons! They offer a wide selection of tiles ranging in price points as well as unique and standard styles. I worked with Gary who was kind and incredibly helpful. He also helped me work out some unexpected hiccups with the installation that resulted from requirements of my HOA. Their warehouse employees are also very knowledgeable and helpful. Over all they're a great resource, I value their customer service and highly recommend them. read more

Eve Graham-Mohr helped us with a curved glass tile for our back-splash. She made if fun to narrow the choices appropriate for our counter-top. Facilitate a simple order process with great follow-up customer service. And, she gave us advise on the recommended installers who would be best for out installation. We couldn't be happier! We already liked Art Tile from the purchase of a heated floor for our bathroom a few years ago. It is a fantastic resource with all the help you need to approach any projects. read more

Hands down the best tile store, in my experience! Went to three other stores and they all fell short on variety; the prices were not justifiable too. Art Tile had all the tiles I had in mind for my bathrooms, plus the service in-store and all the way to delivery, was impeccable! A special shout-out to Gary for being so understanding/helpful throughout my vacillation! (they do have a gorgeous collection, you know) A very well run business (nicely done, Patrick); highly recommend it. read more

Andrea at Art Tile is amazing to work with. She has hand held us through a trying remodel journey and has been there every step of the way with all our tile questions and issues. She has truly been a highlight of our remodel story. She helped us pick beautiful tile, answered design questions, helped us troubleshoot challenges in our project and has been a constant optimist in seeing us through the completion of our project. Gary also is very knowledgeable about technical tile questions. Overall Art Tile has exceeded all expectation in their knowledge and support of our project. Thank you! read more

Eve is so helpful and knowledgeable about design and the tile choices from Spain and Italy! It took us a long time to make a decision for a bathroom remodel and we never felt rushed -- in fact, just the opposite -- Eve was so patient. She gave excellent recommendations and suggestions which eventually led us to a choice we were really loved. We loved the broad selection of high quality tile and friendly, down to earth service at Art Tile. Thank you so much, Eve! read more

Gary and Patrick are helpful and friendly, and Art Tile carries some really beautiful tile. Gary was generous with the samples he let me take home, trusting I would bring them back. Thank you! We unfortunately had a very short timeline (one week), so weren't able to get our tile here (the one we liked was back ordered), but I won't hesitate to give Art Tile another shot on our next project. read more

Art Tile has an amazing selection of tile, but I am really giving it five stars because of Marta, who is one of Art Tile's customer service reps. I am remodeling my bathroom and needed to pick out tile for the shower. I wasn't sure how I wanted to design the shower, and Marta started helping me with suggestions and even drew a design pattern that she thought would look nice for my shower. Marta is so helpful, warm and friendly. She spent about an hour with me finalizing the design and picking tile. She made the whole process easy and stress-free. Go see Marta for your next tile project. read more

Astonishment propels me to drop some praise this way, that no one else has spoken up for the little shop on Broadway. Our home is a 90-year-old tiny bungalow with Craftsman pretensions but none of its true charms. It had been a rental and thereby poorly used, although not severely abused. However, much needs to be done, and the tiny bathroom was the first major project. Leaks and poor layout aside, the yellow and black tile were beautiful, but could not be salvaged. "Surely," I thought, "how hard could it be to find tile faithful just like this?" Extremely. Fricking. Hard. Who knew? Who knew that probably lead paint and other toxins imparted that lustrous tint? Who knew that plain tile had the monochromatic charm of a lavatory? Who knew modern mass tile-makers think "crackles" add character, and instead look like calculated attempts to be precious? Okay, maybe you all know, but I went through the whole raised-in-an-immigrant-family-squeezed-in-tiny-apartment-then-condo experience. The nuances of the house, I know not. So I went from tile place to tile place -- all very decent, all with variety. Import Tile in Berkeley. Berkeley Ceramic Tile. Italics outlet warehouse in Emeryville. Lowes in Union City. Expo in Emeryville. Tumbled stone. Glass mosaic. Subway bricks. On and on and on. Yet, nothing came close to the yellow tile I allowed to be torn from the walls and smashed to bits. And then i went to Art Tile, and bloated the tiny budget on some gorgeous pale-celadon tiles handmade in Seattle. I have blocked out how much the husband and I spent. Suffice to say that our tiny bathroom is the best room in the house. Admittedly, it's not saying much, but the tile rocks. We also scattered around the window tiles with a fish or lotus design. Art Tile also carried the compromise that resolved a point of contention between the husband and me: I wanted wood a la the old bungalows, he didn't want warping. Voila, ceramic tile that looks like wood. I crap you not. The darker shade we picked doesn't look cheap or a half-assed imitation -- the floor looks like a wood floor. And yes, the customer service was excellent. No pressures, no hard sells, no psycho-therapy. Just matter-of-fact expertise. read more

I usually hate shopping retail... this is an exception. Please give Art Tile your business if you are doing interior design or a remodel. The Selection is good, The service is awesome. It's a tile store, pretty unassuming from the outside. Inside, you feel like you have gone back in time or have been mysteriously teleported to a state where people still believe in courtesy and customer service. We went in with a vague idea of what we wanted, they sent us home with sample boards and tiles (no charge, no hassle), were very informative and even offered advice on how to bridge our period house with the present. I wish there was more tile "in context" settings, but they have a small space and a lot of inventory. I'm going to shop here again. read more

We recently decided to re-tile our upstairs bathroom, and made a first pilgrimage to Import Tile to look at the options and figure out what we wanted to do. Import Tile, of course, has a lovely showroom and a lot of tile to show, but they definitely lack on the personal touch. You get a different person every time, and they vary from helpful to horrible. Our tile guy (Paul Gilbert of Gilbert Tile, who we love) heard our plans and told us that there's a new tile shop much closer to our house that would carry everything we're looking for. So the following weekend we popped on over. We met the owner, Patrick, who walked us through our various ideas and thoughts and was incredibly attentive, helpful, and kind. We left, and decided that whatever tile we were going to get, it would be from Art Tile, because the entire experience was so *pleasant*. A few weeks later, we were ready to order, and stopped by and worked with Gary, who was chatty, kind, and helpful. 80% of our tile was in stock at their warehouse a couple of blocks away, the rest arrived three days later. Jason, at the warehouse, was super attentive, helpful, and nice. They loaded up our car, and called & emailed us a few days later when our remaining tile arrived. It turned out we ordered a little too much of one of the special order tiles. They looked up what the tile maker charged them in restocking fees, and that's what they charged me to return it. Just what it cost them. Totally fair. We will definitely return here next time we need tile! read more

Patrick and team were beyond friendly, helpful and professional! I came in last night around 5:30pm (as they were closing around 6pm) and not once did I feel rushed. Patrick took his time and helped me understand the different options to re-design my fireplace. Looking at my current fireplace design and dimensions, he suggested different textured stone tile and porcelain options to fit the look and feel of my house, matching different color stone tiles to match my Brazilian honey cherry wood mantles and floors. Come here for all your tile/design/remodeling needs! read more

I needed to replace a few tiles in my 1958 era bathroom. I came to Art Tile (thanks, Yelp, for letting me know who to go to). I didn't bring a photo or a sample tile. I simply described the tile I needed, mentioned the year I think the bathroom was installed, and within 30 seconds, the guy behind the counter handed me a sample board of the exact tile! Impressive. The tile was a fair price, and took about a week to arrive. When I'm ready to redo the old bathroom, I will be buying my tile here. They have everything, lots of cool new styles and good customer service. read more
