Maggie is friggin wonderful. About a year ago I started a personal conscierge service. Needless to say I'm still learning how to shop for items that are not PS5 or Steam related. Good ole Maggie eased my anxiety and made it an overall pleasant interaction. Once again. Thank you young lady. You're the bomb. read more

Everything is wonderful there I live in Southern California and they are shipping me wonderful things for my new grandbaby. It's bamboo and very soft.! read more

Customer service and clothing selection were both really good. Lots of darling accessories too.

Consider purchases here to basically be final sale. The owner is rude too. They know a distracted parent isn't going to notice signage at checkout. And my child fits true to size on most major brands. The clothes from this brand are very weirdly cut. And no, I don't want random crap from the gift shop next door. I need clothes for my kid. I wish my money wasn't being held hostage on receipt paper. Cool. Had I known they don't do refunds I would have told my mom not to buy the kids clothing here. The items are cute, but the fit is very weird (long body, short arms, too tight even an extra size larger). You have just 2 weeks to bring an item back and for store credit only. Not sure what good that does me when the clothing doesnt fit and most of the toys are for babies. And the store credit they give you is on thin receipt paper. So I hope I don't lose it. Never again. read more

My husband and I visited Bird & Bean yesterday, in search of a couple baby items for our gender reveal. Serena was so sweet and helped us with the entire process, while keeping it a surprise. We are so grateful for her assistance and attention to detail. Finding out we are having a baby girl was everything and more!! Thank you Serena :) read more

Not for those looking for a cheap gift, Bird And Bean is a great spot to buy a stylish gift for a little one, or maybe their mammas. They stock mostly super cute clothing and accessories, I'd say for mostly toddlers and up, a nice, but limited selection of higher end baby gifts, and a section dedicated to those stylish mammas. I definitely spied some really nice bags and jewelry pieces that would make me very happy. I ended up with a super cool book about a little boy architect and a pretty snazzy $8 barrette for a cutie I know. She of course had no clue what she received, but her parents were very happy. Return is for store credit only, and again you won't find many bargains or deals here. (They do have one sale rack in front with $20 pieces of clothing.) A+ for the great and super fun and free gift wrapping and Yelp check-in offer for a 10% discount. Definitely a great spot when looking to buy a special occasion present for a certain little person! PS: at least this year, they have a Santa coming for the holidays! read more

See all

Convenient shop but Overpriced! Very disappointing for locals, unfortunately! Please check the price & product quality before buying them.

I recently placed my first online order with Bird and Bean and was met with the most outstanding customer service. I was kindly assisted by Maggie, who not only took the initiative to reach out to me shortly after my order was placed, but went out of her way for my order as well. She was such a breath of fresh air with how attentive, kind, and responsive she was. I will definitely be ordering again. read more

Unreasonable Return Policy: I stopped by the store for the first time on Thursday to buy a quick gift and card for a colleague's baby shower. Bought an adorable bib, spoon and (what I thought was) an $8 card. The next day, when I took the card out of the plastic, I was really confused to find that the card didn't open, or even have a back to it (almost like a postcard that can't be written in). Instead it just had the decorate dangly ornament that hung on a string, attached to paper. Because the description of the product read "written on inside - 'Congratulations'", and there was no such message to be found, I just assumed the card was defective and that I would return it. Unfortunately, today I was really disappointed with my encounter with the store employee, who would not provide a refund - only store credit. When I asked if there could be an exception made, given that the card seemed to be misleadingly labeled (as there was no inside inscription with "congratulations" as labeled), I was instead shown the product details online that seemed to show the "card" was in fact only meant to display the dangly ornament that was on the front. All this to say - as a real customer operating in good faith, with every intention to use the item purchased - I was really frustrated with the lack of reasonable costumer service in this instance. It seemed like a very minor issue of a misleadingly labeled product, but I felt like I ended up being blamed for not somehow knowing that I wasn't meant to be a card (as labeled). So beware, the items are lovely, but if you find any issues with your purchase - don't expect sympathy. read more

I called this morning asking if they had a plastic tote that a lady told me she purchased there, the employee on the phone told me no. Thankfully I came in person to the store and saw it immediately upon entering. Wish I looked to yelp could have saved 10%. Oh well. Lots of options of products to choose from throughout both stores. Great customer service from the ladies, I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks:) read more

Baby extravaganza! I'm not ready ever again for a baby, however OG Dad loves them! Shopping for my bestie's new born boy, I had to find something special. If you know me in The Real World, I think the only dudes that wear sunglasses indoors are movie stars or assholes. See me on Netflix! We opted for the bright lights and I purchased a pair of 0-3 year old shades for my darling new buddy! I had fabulous assistance from Matilda, the shop girl and found the perfect sunglasses! read more

This store has adorable merchandise, no doubt. But what prompted me to come write this review is that one of the employees (perhaps owner?) heard my baby crying and generously offered that I was welcome to nurse him on the couch in the connected shop next door (I assume they're owned by the same folks). I was very touched by this kind gesture. I will definitely be back. read more

Such a great children's store, lots of cool clothes and toys to give away as gifts. I always find something when I shop here!

Talk about awesome products with exceptional customer service! The team there led by Janelle, who is also the owner were able to help me pick an assortment of items that were perfect!! read more

Not sure what happened with the shirt after it was returned to your shop... As mentioned, the only time it was on my child's body was when he quickly tried it on in your shop. We found his lost shirt in the bottom of his back pack when we got back to the car after leaving your store so he did not need to wear yours. Your shirt stayed folded in the bag your clerk put it in when purchased and was returned that way - in new condition, never worn. Attached is a photo of it laid out on your counter when I brought it in for return - not dirty, no wrinkles, nothing all over it... We never spoke, though as mentioned, I did try several times, without a response. There would have likely been no reason to leave a review if we had. Your clerk DID tell me that you would be willing to review my situation which is why I tried so hard to reach you by calling so many times to try and have a dialogue with you - with no response. I am a reasonable person would not expect you or anyone to bend over backwards - I simply wanted to be called back to have a dialogue. Agreed that it is a shame that this situation occurred... read more

Bird And Bean - Children's Clothing Near Me - Berkeley, California

I'm so happy to see this cute store in our neighborhood! Living a few blocks away makes it super easy to grab a special one of a kind gift (P.S - They even wrap it!). Winning me the best uncle award every time visit my niece. I love that they have "Manhattan Toy" brand! A very cute eclectic brand. This is a small businesses. I support and go out of my way to find places like this. So please if you think its too expansive or there return policy is unreasonable... Go some where else, we don't need that kinda vibe/energy here. read more

I visited this store to buy gifts for my newborn cousin and her older brother. Being a 22 year old with no children, I had no idea what to get them. However, the sales associates were super nice and helped me find the perfect gifts! I mentioned my cousin was fascinated with New York, and the sales associate showed me a beautiful children's book about the Statue of Liberty. I am pretty excited to show him the book because I think he will love it! She also thoughtfully recommended a book that turns into a puppet for my cousin to play with his newborn little sister. While the gifts I found were perfect and unique, I do wish they were a little less expensive. But YOBO, (you're only born once) ammirite????? So, I am telling myself that it was money well spent :) read more

Love this store!!! So many unique and wonderful things for children! Gift wrap... books, natural fibers, and local designers read more

What a lovely shop to get lost in, I came away with books and drooled over the adorable kids clothes, creative toy selection and softer-than-anything cozy wear for mamas... read more

Unfortunately this store does not stand behind its items. I bought a baby toy bin/hamper here for over $40 - pricey but the print was cute. After about a month the hamper developed mold on the bottom Of it. I brought it in and was given suggestions for removing the mold by the owner. Unfortunately the suggestions did not work and after washing it several times (according to the items instructions) the item lost its shape and is no longer usable (plus mold is still there). The store did not allow me to return this or offer store credit or an exchange. Disappointed in the quality of this item and the service provided for a relatively expensive children's item. read more

Lately I find myself going into that store almost every week! I just love everything that they sell. You can tell that the owner puts all her efforts to make every corner super cute. Today I went back to buy more of their super cute swimsuits for girls that are 50% off. I would like to highlight the excellent client service I received today. read more

Bird and Bean carries the sweetest, softest clothes for newborns and young children. Beautiful prints, comfy sparkly dresses, premium quality shoes, rain gear, even a small select of books and toys. Definitely recommend them! read more

I stopped by this store to pick up a few things for a baby shower. Very friendly staff and a lot to choose from. You can tell the care the owner puts into choosing what is shown and carried in her store. It's totally appropriate and well placed for the area. The style and ambiance is totally trendy, fun, Oakland. I like to support small businesses - especially local, so it's nice to find a store that provides quality gear and a friendly atmosphere. I don't like all the cheap stuff sold at the big box stores. There's a mix of everything, kid related, so it's worth a quick stop to see if they have what you need. read more

When my baby was 11 days old and having a meltdown, Miranda the manager insisted that I use the back area of the store for as long as I needed to get my bearings-- feed the baby, change her, do whatever I needed to do. There was no sales pressure-- just a lovely woman who showed compassion to a new mom. I've been a loyal customer since. Quality products + lovely staff + first rate music classes = Mom mecca read more

Love this store so much! Such a great mix of products for kids -wonderfully curated. They have toys, home decor items, shoes, clothing, and books that are unique and hard to find in other places. The sales people are knowledgeable and offer great advice. Love this place, can't wait to go back! read more

Bird and Bean is my go to place for gifts for babies and kids. They carry the cutest styles and clothing and really thoughtful and unique toys and accessories. If you want to find a unique and adorable baby shower gift (for baby and mom!) This is the place to go. read more

Great store, very friendly, helpful owner, we spent way more than we should have thanks to the excessively cute options. Lots of non-toxic, organic and oeko-tex certified stuff to keep your baby as pure as nature intended. We bought several organic cotton onesies and PJs, some unfinished wood toys, and a great Dr. Seuss coloring book. read more

Really nice eclectic store. From children's clothes to unique women's items. Check them out if your in rockridge.

The lady who served me in the store yesterday was wonderful! Best customer service experience I've had in a while. The store has a fantastic collection of unique items for kids. I will be back. read more

This place is an amazingly curated and stocked store with the cutest and mid to high end clothing, shoes and gear for Mommy too. Everything the new stylish Mom and her bundle of coolness needs. No pink "Daddy's Girl" onesies. It's all bamboo pjs's with squids and zebras. They also have genius sippy cups, suction plates, awesome hampers and the best shoe selection ever. As far as pricing is concerned-you get what you pay for-the clothing won't fade or fall apart. The customer service always fixes any problems and knows me by name which is great. Everything is worth it and unique! Check it out and I promise you will leave with something fabulous. Oh and did I mention they ALWAYS have great sales!!! Perfection. read more

Love the beautiful curation of clothing, gifts and art supplies. I also love that they have a shop for moms right next door! I loooooove this store. read more

Wonderful store for buying gifts for children! Make sure you ask the owner (Rachel, I think?) to help you pick stuff out - I found a ton of really cool stuff this way which my nephew absolutely loved. She also insisted that she gift wrap everything which I probably wouldn't have done otherwise and the wrapping paper (sharks, of course!) was also a hit :) Only thing to be aware of is that the items can be a bit pricey, although totally reflected in the quality of the products. Definitely a place I'll be visiting again! read more

Cute boutique excellent and patient service. The woman whom I assumed was the proprietor was very kind when my little one started melting down on a busy weekend afternoon. It's spendy, but very cute nice quality stuff great for gifts or something special. Great selection of baby shoes. Lots to choose from. Finding a pair that wouldn't fall off or get immediately destroyed was worth stopping in. read more

Was at B&B this past Saturday and I loved everything they sell! They have the cutest and most quality of everything! It was my first visit and it won't be my last! They also have a range of pricing which is nice. You can opt for high end all the way to sample sale items( that are equally amazing an quality)! Thanks for my new fav shopping spot! read more

This shop is my go-to for stylish while also practical gifts for my friends kids and their baby mamas. Skip impersonal shopping online and go to this shop that has done the work of curating the perfect gift for you. Bonus points for the play space in the back which keeps the littles occupied while you look around. Highly recommended. read more

Cute stuff, pricey, but not as crazy as one might assume given the location, and they always have a solid sale rack for the cousin who has had his third, or is it fourth, kid. They lose points though for not offering boxes. You can pay $5 for gift wrap or take your gift in a bag. A baby store should provide boxes, especially at this price point. I've bought a lot of gifts here, including some cute adult pajamas. read more

My toddler's Little Folkies music class is held in the back of this store and it's hard not to stop and buy everything on our way to/from class. Great place for a kid's birthday gift. Friendly staff (Maggie is great!) and unique items. read more

I came in here for the first time today to check out the new shop. I'll admit, I was skeptical at first - another fancy-looking baby/kids store in the Rockridge area? But this place is legit. Janel is one of the warmest, kindest people I've met, and the selection in the store is awesome. I found some really unique (and fairly-priced) items, truly some gorgeous designs! Can't wait to come back for more once the baby is born :) read more

Love this place. Such cute things and a super friendly owner and staff! They also have baby play time I think it involves music, which we will be attending in the near future! read more

I adore this shop! Every time I pop in I find something unique, absolutely adorable, and beautifully made. There's a great selection of clothes from amazing brands, toys, gifts, baby gear, books, and super fun accessories. Last year Santa even visited which was so fun! I couldn't recommend this store more. read more
