I kind of consider them a neighborhood institution. They are a huge anchor in this distric. One of my go to's.

My new go-to spot for jeans shopping!!…read more Before shopping at Maple Street, I'd never had an experience trying on jeans that didn't have me on the verge of tears afterwords. That was, until I stopped into Maple Street. The owner and staff are INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about their stock and how to solve common problems about fit that femme bodies run into with jeans. I've never shopped at such an uplifting, body-positive space before-- the attitude the entire time they helped me find my perfect pair was never that my body was the problem, the jeans just weren't the right cut for what I wanted! If you're looking for a quality pair of jeans picked out with the help of experts, look no further.

Sad to see stores like this are taking up space when it could be a small business that fosters community instead.

But my…read morehusband and I decided to make a visit before Christmas (we did the same last year but I never got around to writing a review). Outback is a clothing store which sells very unique clothing designs with original fabrics. I actually shopped at the store back in the 1980s when it was located on Sacramento St near Dwight Way in Berkeley. I bought a coat from them that lstter for years. So this place has been around for decades. (I think at one point they moved to 10th St need Gilman in Berkeley.) I found a beautiful cashmere scarf, for a reasonable price, for my daughter who lives on the East coast. She received it and commented on how soft it was. The saleswoman was super friendly. We had a nice conversation. (A different saleswoman last year was also nice and pleasant.). The clothing can be on the pricey side for my budget. But if you are looking for a piece of clothing that no one else has, this is the place to visit. I really should go back and treat myself!

I ordered a sweatsuit from here in March of 2023 for $175 and still have yet to receive a product nor a refund (of which I requested on 5-7 different occasions) from the owner of the company who not only ghosted for months but also recently reached out to hint that the issue would be resolved & yet still has not refunded me. I would steer clear of monetarily supporting this brand moving forward. I absolutely love supporting small businesses but in no way shape or form will I ever condone taking advantage of customers while simultaneously using profits to support your own personal lifestyle.

His success will fall strictly on nonconforming to the pressures of trying to be number 1. Success will find its way to Good News Apparel and the city of Oakland is lucky to have a diamond in the rough from a company that will not only prove it's a mainstay in The Town but also a success story that will echo for years to come. I wish nothing but absolutely the best for GNA and well wishes moving forward in their movement. It's Good News or NOTHING! Positive vibes!

I had purchased a lot of clothes there trying to support local shops and not buy online. It was super fun and I liked their style of clothing. It suited me. But when I got home I decided to bring a few items back. One has to do so within I think 7 or 10 days? I got the credit and you have to use that within 3 months. I had a hard time finding new things I wanted but had to use the credit! I bought a purse I didn't really need. I wrote the shop before posting this updated review and haven't heard back in over a week. So here it is. I'd say yes, go shop there, but be careful what you decide to purchase. Make sure you REALLY WANT IT! I may not be returning to Yaza. It's too pricey to worry about their policy, too. I'll look for other local shops to support.
