Broadway Terrace Nursery is a charming and beautifully curated little spot. The only minor…read moredrawbacks, in my view, are the slightly elevated prices and the limited parking--but both feel forgivable given the setting and quality. It's an ideal place to stop when you want to pick up a few plants for yourself or as a thoughtful gift. Conveniently located beside a cozy café and a boutique-style grocery store (which also carries a surprisingly good selection for its size), the nursery fits seamlessly into a leisurely afternoon of errands or weekend wandering. Parking can be tricky during peak hours, but it's a small trade-off for the convenience and atmosphere. While you'll find familiar favorites like pothos and lavender, the nursery also offers a rotating selection of more distinctive and uncommon varieties--plants you don't often see in larger garden centers. The staff are consistently warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about what they do, which adds to the overall charm. I highly recommend Broadway Terrace Nursery for anyone who appreciates well-tended plants, inviting spaces, and the pleasure of supporting a small, thoughtfully run business.

The salesperson when we visited yesterday was super friendly and informative. The store is always warm and inviting. Prices seem on point with other similar stores in Oakland.

It's a great spot if you're looking to grow your own food or just enjoy a calm walk through nature. There's a section for indoor houseplants, but it's a bit limited. Most of the options are Succulent plants and hardier varieties, so if you're looking for a large variety of tropicals or more delicate indoor plants, you might not find much--though there is a separate indoor plant area that was closed off during our visit. You'll definitely notice the fertilizer smell when you walk in--not overwhelming, but something to be aware of if you're sensitive. Still, the overall atmosphere is relaxing and grounding. It's a really lovely spot to explore, especially if you enjoy gardening or just want a nature-filled reset. Heads-up for allergy sufferers: with all the plants, pollen, and earthy air, you may want to plan accordingly. We didn't directly interact with the staff, but they seemed friendly and helpful, assisting other guests as I walked by. Parking: There's plenty of side street parking available in the surrounding neighborhood, and a few spots right in front of the entrance.

I love the apothecary vibe, deep colors, lush greens mixed with dried florals... definitely gets the creative juices flowing. They also have a floral design area which I imagine would be perfect for workshops and getting a more hands-on experience. They carry great little gifts and cards (picked up a cute mushroom one for myself) and everything you could possibly need for that plant addict in your life.

My bf gently touched one of the plants he wanted to purchase to fully inspect it before purchasing, but then the owner started berating us profusely. He went 0-100 & it was scary how deranged/out of control his anger quickly rose to. We genuinely apologized to him for touching the plant and for not having seen the very much faded and small sign that was hidden behind all the other plants. But alas, the owner kept going, escalating his anger, and began hurling insults at us calling us stupid even as we were on our way out. Seems like he's capable of being a decent human being to the others who have left good reviews. Based on this selective decency/kindness, I wouldn't recommend anyone to even take that gamble.

Here's why you should make all your paint related purchases at East Bay Paint Center (and resist…read morelooking for cheaper brushes and whatnot at Home Depot or Amazon). First, they carry Benjamin Moore paint and it's the best. You can pay much more for paint or slightly less, but either way that's silly. Benjamin Moore always has terrific colors and texture and great durability. Any time I've hired professional painters, this is the line they use. We need to keep this business thriving so we can always get a same-day gallon of Chantilly Lace (if you know you know). Second, they have everything paint related under one roof. Your time is valuable and you can't go to two stores looking for the wide painters tape or that butcher paper stuff to cover the floor. Third, their service is above and beyond. You order online and your stuff waits for you on a shelf outside for immediate grabbing. You walk in and someone asks you what you need. Amazing. I put their service to the test today by ordering a sample size of Dark Taupe paint, placing it on the roof of my car while I loaded other things, then driving off. When I realized what I had done (and I did it -- you can see my Dark Taupe paint splatter in their parking lot), I returned to apologize and reorder and found they had REFILLED MY ORDER and placed it on the shelf without comment. You think Home Depot would have done that?!
