I needed a swim shorts for summer and rather than order some online and wait for delivery, I…read morethought "why not buy local!" Excellent choice! I say this because, as soon as I walked in the door, it was like the way department stores used to be. McCaulou's reminds me a lot of Mervyn's. Oh how I miss that store! Well, actually I should say how much I miss what retail used to be like. Even though McCaulou's is much smaller and very local compared with what Mervyn's was, it's good to have the opportunity to shop in person at a retail department store. For a small store McCaulou's has a pretty good selection. It's mostly casual and leisure attire. Yet for summertime, the store carries brands like Champion, Columbia, Still Water and Tommy Bahama. To me most of the styles are plain, yet one can do lots of mix and match for an outfit. Perhaps, because my thoughts lately have been wandering off and imagining what it would be like to vacation at an exciting getaway place like the French Rivera, I looked for a complete matching outfit. And I found one by Salty Crew. Cool, a bit contemporary but classy. I was thinking...Something to wear not only poolside but also befitting at a nice hotel's lounge and cocktail bar. Will I be able to get away to Europe this year and bask in the sun at St. Tropez? Probably not! But it's nice to be able to dress like I'm ready to go there. No matter what you are looking for McCaulou's can help. Customer service is outstanding!

McCaulou's Kids (separate from the main department store) is AWESOME. I got my daughter's matching…read morerain boots, umbrella, and rain jacket here. Also lots of cute toys (fisher price, baby Einstein, stuffed animals, TY, etc) and not to mention clothes, sizes from newborn to about kids 9. The bigger department store is also a nice stop for gifts, has a well sized men's section and ample selection for women-- not just clothing but also some thoughtful small gifts. Solid selection of scarves and hats for winter. Both stores offer gift wrapping and are moderately priced. Friendly customer service is a plus

Luckily there is a new Sonoma Skate shop owned by a skater near the Round Table Pizza & CVS I went in and was helped with a complete set up for me and my son. He was helpful.

Sad, this was the best and most complete skate shop in Sonoma County, (and was the premier North Bay shop for quite a while after Purple Skunk closed in SF) IMHO, you will need to go to Bill's Wheels in Santa Cruz to find it's equal.

This is the place to go for serious walking/running shoes…read more Mike was incredibly helpful in finding the right new walking shoes for me. He was patient throughout the entire process and took the time to make sure the shoes were truly comfortable, fit properly, and would work well for long walks--not just feel good for a minute in the store. I never felt rushed and really appreciated his knowledge and attention to detail. This is the place I trust when I'm serious about finding quality walking or running shoes that fit correctly.

After downsizing our home, we had a lot of good-quality items we wanted to donate locally. But…read moreevery time I've tried to drop things off, the experience has been frustrating and honestly disappointing. There's been no basic appreciation, no thanks, and no sense that donations are welcome. Instead, the only responses I've gotten from staff have been things like "don't walk into the donation area," "what are you donating," or "we don't take that" -- even when the item is clearly listed as accepted on their website. The overall attitude toward people trying to donate is rude and dismissive. I won't be bringing anything else here and will be finding another local charity that actually values donations and treats donors with respect.
