Scrolling on instagram and came across this place and was excited to see that we finally have a claw arcade out here in the East Bay. The arcade is super cute! And soo many great prizes to be won! As well as other merch to buy. The owner's are super sweet and to play is a good deal to me $1 a play for the larger claws and $1 for 2 plays on the smaller claws. Bonus points for the Kaws statue! Our little can't wait to come back again in her words "this place is awesome sauce! I love it there" she definitely is better at claws than us her parents she walked away with a lot of wins! read more

Great place! Just took my 10yr daughter she had a great time. Very friendly staff. We will be back soon thank you!

Really happy to see a new claw machine arcade opening up in downtown Concord! The owners were super nice and welcoming. They took the time to explain how the machines worked, and even gave us additional tokens. They also helped reshuffle the plushies around when we were struggling! I really appreciate their kindness and will definitely be coming back. There was a good variety of cute plushies too! read more

Decided last minute to visit this awesome business today with our 2 young kids. I don't write many reviews, but came to write one after our wonderful experience. Not surprisingly, I came onto Yelp to find perfect reviews and dozens of experiences just like ours! The owner was there with his family, and he was so amazingly helpful and kind with our kids. My youngest was getting frustrated with her attempts, and he helped with some extra free tries and rearranging the toys to help her out. Both kids left with several small toys and are excited to return! Service is definitely top notch here, and you get more than what you pay for. read more

This place is the owners always take care of you!!! I love to come here. The atmosphere is just a fun place. I 100% recommended this place to people that just want to have some good old fashion fun. read more

The owners are super nice. She gave my daughter free tokens for her bday, thanks! The claw machines are fair and the owner is willing to rearrange the plush if you ask. Also, you can grab any plush in the machine and trade for any plush in the same machine. read more

Everyone is saying that they have weak claws, which IS true. But, the employees are aware of this and if they see you struggling, in our case, they helped, and gave us tips on how to get it, and when we couldn't, they gave us 5 free tries and even that twice! On top of that unheard of level of kindness, when me and my friend ran out of tokens, they refilled it with enough for us to divide it and have 9 tokens each, for no cost. TWICE. Go to this place, it is worth it! read more

had an awesome time here! my kids love it and the owner is really nice and ensures everyone leaves a winner. will be back forsure

My son had a great time here! So much fun he won so many plushies. The customer service was also great and they gave us some tips and tricks for the claw machines. Definitely worth it, support small businesses read more

Weak claws, I was over it half way thru my tokens because the claws wouldn't pick things up, and if you finally got something to pick up, it shook horribly and would send the plush flying across the machine. Ended up with 2 prizes after spending $25. For reference, we go to claw daddy's in Fresno when we are at that mall, probably every visit. They want you to win, will arrange things to help you win. I will spend $10 there and leave with double what I got here. They even have a "pick an item desk" when you spend $10 which is why it's our minimum. But I always get enough to give each of my boys a prize when I get home, This place made me thing I would actually have to go by another plush elsewhere because I couldn't get 2 from $25. I would recommend adjusting the machine strength to allow for more wins because a winning rate lower than 25% is horrible and this place is isn't even giving a 10% chance. Good luck getting repeat customers. Because I know we will never return. read more

Nice interior and friendly staff, super fun definitely recommend. A plus is you can switch prizes from the same claw machine so you can go for an easier grab. read more

We go to a lot of claw machines places and this is NOT the place to go. We like Starbunni in Danville way better. The machines at Cali Claw have loose claws and do not hold a grip. We purchased a groupon thinking it would be a good deal however we left with a measly keychain. It didn't matter if we were playing the small machines or big ones, both were not generous at all. I don't know what strategy people are talking about on these posts. There is none. They just want your money. Starbunni won't let you leave empty handed. They will give you a prize if you do not win anything The selection of prizes at Cali Claw are okay in comparison to Starbunni. I doubt we will be back. Not a good value. For what you pay and what you get, I doubt we will be back. Good luck, Cali Claw! read more

We checked out Cali Claw this week and had a blast! The owner is incredibly friendly and shared the story of how a family vacation and kids inspired him to open this claw machine spot. He even gave us tips on how best to win prizes and was fun to chat with. The cute logo is their dog, Cali, and is customized on their claw machines. Cali Claw has a nice trade up program too where you could trade in smaller prizes for bigger ones on the shelves. We're excited to go back and win more - fun for kids and adults. read more

First time visiting Cali Claw and it was an awesome experience. The kids had a great time and the guy working the counter was such a cool dude. We spent a good amount and won a lot of stuff. We were able to trade up our winnings for bigger prizes. They had a good selection as well. Way better than the other claw machine places I've been to so far. Definitely coming back with the kiddos even if it's a long drive for us. Highly recommended read more

the claw machines feel a bit rigged sometimes :C but you can win some stuff and when you get enough you can trade up!! the plushies aren't the greatest quality but some of them are very cute! I think that the price is fine definitely, and very much worth it for the service!! this dude who worked there, saw I didn't get much and felt bad. he set up some easier wins for me and cheered me on!! he was EXTREMELY kind and it absolutely made my day. He deserves a raise for sure C: if ur the guy reading this, I was having a bad day and you made it so much better with your support and kindness, literally so jolly read more

Not going to lie, the learning curve was kinda rough, but when i mentioned it to the owner, he actually came over, repositioned the toys and gave us tips. Also threw in practice tokens. He really tried to set everyone up for success and gave multiple tried. Great atmosphere highly recommend read more

Place was amazing!! Staff were super friendly and claw machines were awesome! I never write yelp reviews but definitely a 5 star experience.

Took the kids here on a random day to check it out. When I say that everything about this place is amazing, trust me. From the service to the prizes, we were happy for the entire experience. The owners are great, and are one of the reasons I know I'll be back. They provide excellent service, and are warm and friendly. We have now visited a few times and the kids can't wait to go back again. They always have a great selection of prizes and they even let you trade up! They also provide a great value as far as the tokens go, which is great because who doesn't like to play claw machines? We will for sure be back to support this small biz. Thanks Cali Claw! read more

Such a cool arcade! People are super friendly and the prizes are actual characters you want to win. Prices are also super affordable. I noticed they are always rearranging the plushies to help you win as much as possible. I really appreciated it! They also mentioned to just try to go for the easiest plushie in the machine and we can trade it for a different item in the machine if we'd like. Overall great time. Hope to come back soon. read more

Really fun place, lots to look at and win for the little ones. I will definitely come back.

So glad a claw machine store opened up in the local Concord area! After coming back from Japan recently, I feel like Cali Claw does a good job capturing the ambience of those claw machines. Prizes range from small to large plushies with the option to trade up to different ones. Parking is either on the street or in the back parking lot. read more

5 stars for customer service. Seriously felt so welcomed in. Fun selection of claw machines, and I like there are smaller options and you get two opportunities for them. A lot of ways to get value for your money! read more

This place took my money... but it was worth it!! I had a great time wining prizes! Most definitely coming back.

So fun, and staff is encouraging and attentive. A quick walk to Todos Santos Plaza, so have lunch or dinner and make a date of it. Will go again and would love to bring friends! read more

Finally made our way over to check out Cali Claw after following them on IG for a while, and we loved it! The claw machines were winnable with a lot of cute plushies, all well made, and of characters that our kids know and love. Their customer service was top tier; they were friendly and went above and beyond to help us win some of the harder to get prizes. We came in with 3 kids 20 minutes before they closed and they were patient and let us play past their closing time. Can't wait for our next visit! Thank you, Cali Claw! read more

Love the vibe! The place is clean and the staff are friendly. They even help shuffle the prizes to help win. Cute prizes and cute trade ups. They have a plushie bank so you can work your way up to larger prizes! If you need help winning just ask for help and they'll give you different tips and how to pick prizes that are easier to win. While I was there it looked like everyone was walking away with at least one thing. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Brought my nephew today, and the customer service from the owners are top notch. They really care about the customers, and make sure you leave with a good experience. I hope nothing but success to this business. thank you soo much! read more

The stuffed animals are very cute. Owners are super nice and welcoming. We will definitely be back. **Don't forget Yelp check in for extra 5 tokens. read more

Went to Cali Claw for the first time yesterday and we had the best time. We really wanted to win a avocado stuffie but we failed over and over. The owner and her son were SO nice and offered us many tips. They truly wanted everyone there to win! We ended up leaving with Bluey, Bingo, Grogu and the avocado! Definitely a place worth checking out if you're in the area. Can't wait to go back!! read more

We took our 10 year old son to Cali Claw for his birthday today. It was super fun.
