It's very cute and cozy in the evening/at night, especially after the rain and with those lights. It's not a big street and there's a limited number of shops, but it's nice to take a quick stroll down. I'll be honest, none of the shops here are really from brands or stores I would normally shop at (lol rich people stores), so we really didn't stop by a lot of them and most of them were closing for the evening anyways (I have learned that lots of things in the Bay Area close quite early). There's some street parking and some parking lots but it looked quite packed. Not sure what it's like on a non-rainy day.

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!

Customer service in the Oakland Ali Golden store seems to a hit or miss…read more I visited this past Friday and talk about DGAF customer service. My friend and I were literally the only patrons in the store (though I was the only person shopping) and the sales person could not care less. No eye contact. Cut me off when I asked questions about sizing. Somehow looking down was more fascinating to her than trying to help out a customer. I quite liked one outfit but rude customer service was telling me I should just purchase elsewhere. I was in the area again on Sunday and decided to peek in to see if someone nicer was working that day as I refuse to make purchases when a sales person has a bad attitude (thank you internet for the opportunity). Lo and behold, there was! Laurin was the gal who helped me out and she was superb! I'm new to the world of raw silk and she was SO helpful to explain what raw silk was, how it differed from regular silk, and how to take care of it. THIS is what good customer service is. Laurin totally made up for Friday's poor experience in the store and I decided to purchase the outfit I'd been eyeing that day. On a different note, I've only spoken to Ali Golden's online customer service once (Jocelyn) and she was also superb!

On 12/19/2025, I saw a sticker price of $10 per glass and wanted to buy two glasses. At the…read moreregister, the cashier told me the glasses are sold only in a set of four for $51. When I showed her the sticker price, she said it was their wholesale price, without apologizing for the incorrect or confusing labeling. This response was disrespectful. Customers should not be shown wholesale prices, and products should be clearly marked with the correct retail price and selling terms. Displaying incorrect pricing and dismissing a customer's concern shows a lack of basic business knowledge and poor management. This reflects a business that does not understand how to properly run retail operations.

I have walked by this store many times but have never gone in. Today Nina and I came down here so…read moreshe could take me scarf shopping. I haven't been a scarf wearer but scarves seem to be coming my way. A friend wove me one for my birthday this year and a month ago my brother sent me two beautiful scarves from Thailand. Nina, on the other hand, wears scarves elegantly, so I've turned to her as a consultant. She wanted to buy me one for Chanukah and this is her go-to place. We were greeted when we walked in and Nina introduced me to the woman who is usually her consultant. We wandered around the store and first one scarf appealed to me and then another. They have many, many in varying styles and color palettes. There are also the clothes to go w/ them, jackets, blouses, pants. It's an elegant store. I tried on the two scarves that had caught my eye and ended up choosing the first one. As we were checking out I was attracted to an unusual necklace, three large irregular, colored pearl "peas" in an abstracted sterling silver pod on a ball chain http://static4.px.yelpcdn.com/photo/30ewNdaVrwpXF7hjmE0cPQ/l by Paula Carvalho. http://www.paulasjewelry.net/ It was reasonably priced at $128 and I decided to buy it. I didn't even try it on and when I got home I discovered it was a bit short. I contacted Paula by email and she was *wonderful*! I mailed her the necklace, she put on an extension and sent it back. The whole process took less than a week. Bryn Walker is a beautiful store, elegant in the same way Nina is. If I want another new scarf I certainly know where to go. As we were leaving I noticed they had a red ceramic Chinese dragon serving as a doorstop. Now how cool is that?

I want to warn other shoppers before they order from Ruti. The return policy and lack of phone…read moresupport turn a simple size exchange into a race against the clock. The return policy: To get a refund, your return must be postmarked within 14 days of delivery. For store credit, you have 30 days. You also pay a restocking fee on whatever you send back. Why this is a problem: Sizing is inconsistent, so you may need to try a different size. Ruti doesn't do true exchanges, so you have to place a new order. Here's how the timeline plays out: * Day 0: The original item arrives and the refund clock starts. * About 3 days: The replacement order is processed. This happens even if you pay for rush shipping and know immediately that it didn't work. * 5-6 days later: The replacement arrives, even with 3-day shipping- the most expensive option. That leaves you less than 10 days to try on the new size and decide. And that's only if you tried the original right away, reordered immediately, and paid extra for expedited shipping. There's no customer service phone number. Everything goes through email, which makes a time-sensitive problem even more frustrating. My experience: I ordered for a trip where I'll be away for 12 days. Customer service told me to reorder and rush the replacement. Because of their processing time, it will arrive after I leave, while the refund clock on the original is already running and the clock on the replacement will be running while I'm out of town. That's not okay. If you're ordering for a specific date or trip, give yourself much more time than you think you need. Better yet, shop somewhere else. Here is a pic of the skirt waist compared to the pants (same size). Annoying.
