    There was only one reason why I came through this store: they have the best oil absorbing paper for fried food for the price. Hubbers knew I was gonna be around the area, so he asked to make a stop just for that specific item. I wasn't one to complain since I really like Daiso and I like exploring and discovering gadgets. I was more than happy to do it. I found the item he wanted except they only had one size available (they used to have 3.) It'll do but I would have liked to have bought the other sizes as well. And as easily predicted, I found and ended up buying a bunch of stuff I didn't think I needed! The whole place was clean and organized. I don't remember seeing any clutter. Staff and customers were sensible about social distancing. Located at El Cerrito Plaza, but they have their own small parking area. It can get full and if it does and if you're willing to walk a little, it's not an issue. Would recommend and would come back.

    This is my favorite location for this chain. The first one I visited was in San Francisco in the old Emporium Capwell's and it was neat and very clean. However, it was in San Francisco, and I go to SF for nothing. The next one was Berkeley, which was nice, but was very cramped and not the cleanest. But this location is the cleanest by far and has tons of things. I really love it. It's never packed with people and I can find what I want, and I don't have to rifle through sticky packages to get what I want. The only issue is the parking, which isn't the most convenient, however, it's not enough to take away a star. Believe it or not, I can always find a spot in that tiny lot of theirs. I can't get enough of this store and look forward to visiting more often.

    I came here looking for one thing. ONE THING. And I came out leaving with a bag of many things. I think Daiso stores are like the equivalent of a crack store. It's so addictive and you find yourself getting the following: stuff you need, stuff you don't need, stuff you'll find the need the use for, and stuff you think you need. This tends to happen a lot in many Daiso stores, and this particular store is also one of the larger stores I've been to. They obviously have a selection of many things, and I appreciate the Ito En brand green tea drinks. I just love that stuff. But what also stands out here is the uber friendly and helpful staff. Daiso got me addicted now it's not even funny. I might have to go into rehab.....but I can't stop buying so much stuff from here.

    I've been to Daiso stores before, so I knew what to expect when they put one in the El Cerrito Plaza. Our wine carafe broke in the dishwasher, so I was headed to Bed, Bath and Beyond to pick one up. I decided I would stop in and check to see if they had one and they did! Saved some money there. They have housewares, gifts, holiday decorations, toiletries, snacks and more. Lots of little knick knacks that you don't have to spend a ton of money on.

    What? A Daiso at El Cerrito Plaza? I must not have been here for awhile to have missed that this was coming! I was so excited that there was a new shop of actually go to that I called my mother to let her know. This is probably the third largest Daiso I've been to (with the largest being in SF Japan Center and the next in San Mateo). The store replaces Pier 1 imports so the interior is bright and white. The store overall is extremely clean and the rows are short. Compared to other Daisos, this one is on the better side. It has the items that other Daisos have...with most items at $1.50 (larger bowls are $3 and blank cards are $1 so there are exceptions). So why 4 stars? For some reason, possible because of all the rows, I started feeling a little overwhelmed and everything started looking the same. In terms of payment, they accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover with a $10 minimum purchase. Any cost below that, I would recommend paying with debit. They have their own parking lot but even if the lot is for some reason full, there's always plenty of parking at El Cerrito Plaza lots!

    EVERYTHING LOOK GOOD HAHA

    This store has been "closed for cleaning" for over a week now. It doesn't appear that it's going to reopen.

    Great for anything one might need for home, parties, inexpensive gifts, snacks. I buy the mesh laundry bags and lingerie hangers.

    Ask the Community - Daiso

    Is the store open? Really miss shopping here but the last time I passed(3 days ago) by they were still closed. Want to save myself the trip before I try again 😅

    I just got an email- they're reopening tomorrow (3/31/2022)!!

    Does anyone know why this store is closed? The signs out front aren't very informative on why or when they plan on reopening.

    Apparently, there was a fire inside and they are cleaning/fixing the store.

    What are the hours now with shelter-in-place laws enforced through May?

    12-6

    Do they have clay?

    Yes!!!
