The concept of this shop- eliminating single-use plastics without sacrificing quality- is what makes Fillgood one of my favorite local businesses. On my first visit, I moseyed in, perused the shelves, asked questions and got a sense of what they had for my needs. I decided to come back with my own glass jars (even though they have plenty you can use) because I had a lot at home. Each of my 5-6 subsequent visits has been great. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, offering suggestions and options based on what I want. The products are high quality with natural ingredients. My favorite products are dish soap (lavender bulk), and deodorant cream (grapefruit lemon) but I find interesting new items each time I go. I wish more people would give Fillgood a try. read more

I have been using the chai tea scented soap and it smells and feels good. I love it and will buy another bar of it when this one gets small. I will also refill my Trader Joe's laundry detergent when it gets low although that will take a while because I don't use it much, just to hand wash my bras. But eventually I will refill it. read more

It's a drive for me to get here, but finally visited this summer 2024 ~ joined a friend who was coming here for a pickup (of pantry items from another zero waste company I missed the name of). Fillgood has a nice curated selection of items, and I ended up getting a few items such as compostable sponges for dishwashing, and a lavender-orange hand sanitizer for refilling into my spray bottle. You can BYOC (bring your own containers :-). Very nice to have Fillgood & also Re-Up Refill in the Oakland area! read more

Fillgood - Kitchen & Bath Near Me - Berkeley, California

I love this idea, store and the owner and her employee's. I have been using these products since the beginning of the store's conception. Laundry detergent, hand soap, dishwashing soap, and dish soap. I have not bought any plastic bottles since the owner started her business in 2018? I can say that they consistently update their products finding the ones that work for cleaning and that help to not pollute the planet. Every 6 months I go in to refill my jars and see what else is new, maybe new scrubbing cloths, bamboo utensils, makeup, or just check our the shelves. Always cheerful people in there trying to do the right thing, NO MORE PLASTIC! Thank you for staying steady and helping save our planet! Ann L. read more

Fillgood has many quality products one can buy without adding to the trash stream that is so in our faces these days. Bring your own containers and they are refilled. The staff is efficient taking care of customers. I buy dish soap, dishwasher, soap, face cream, sunblock, shampoo, conditioner, and on and on...and for me one of the best parts is I can get it all unscented! Even "natural" smells can mess me up so this is the place to go to avoid them! Thanks, Fillgood - you guys are great!! read more

This is a tidy, wee shop packed with eco-products. The goal here at Fillgood is sustainability: Zero waste and no plastics. What I might have enjoyed most while shopping at FG were the friendly and engaging staff. There was one young woman in particular who was so willing to share her knowledge re: living life using the sustainability model or lack thereof. She was truly a breath of fresh air. Her enthusiasm for the products she sells was infectious. Need reusable tea sachets? Go to Fillgood. Need a refill on laundry detergent? Go to Fillgood. Want a good-looking toilet bowl brush (no, really)? Go to Fillgood. There is also a lending library for eco-friendly books, if I'm not mistaken, at the front of the store near the cashier counter. One could also, of course, purchase store-themed books at FG as well. This shop is worth your time if visiting the Solano Ave. area, so do yourself a favor and GO! read more

Fillgood - Excited to try out the recipes contained therein! - Kitchen & Bath Near Me - Berkeley, California

I walked past this place on my morning walk and it looked really cool so I tried peering inside and looked around for business hours. The owner saw me and let me into the store even though it wasn't open yet. It was so kind of him to do that. The store has a ton of reusable goods that you can buy ranging from makeup all the way to kitchen goods. I picked up a couple reusable bags and they were pretty affordable too. I would recommend this place! read more

Friendly staff who answered lots of our questions. High quality soaps, tea, detergents, lotions, & brushes. Soon to have olive oil, coffee, etc once finished with permits. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

I'm trying my best to do what's right for the environment but this place is not affordable for regular people. $42 for 10 ounces of refillable face wash. This was the only option I was shown. I want to support a neighborhood business but can't do it like this. Please have more affordable options. read more

When I tried to shop here recently, I stepped into the store 3 mins before it was supposed to open, which I had not realized. The front door was open, and I foolishly thought that meant customers were welcome. An employee jumped all over me, practically yelling that they weren't open yet. Ok, well I was fine to wait the few minutes. I step in again a few mins after the hour and another different employee jumps all over me about not being open. I inform them that it is indeed a few mins after the hour. They don't apologize. Since this store is so eager not to have customers, I will just as eagerly recommend you don't bother shopping there. Tons of similar, better refill stores nearby. read more

What a cool store with unique items! I always look forward to seeing what they have and the staff are helpful.

Fillgood has a great selection of plastic free low waste items. They carry many things you would see at low waste online store such as makeup from Elate, personal care items from Plaine Products, Patch, Who Gives A Crap, and Meow Meow Tweet, cleaning products from Meliora and Miss Apple, and general items such as scrub brushes, tooth brushes, mason jar cups, lunch boxes, facial pads, moon cups, and all types and sizes of organic mesh bags. I would love to see them carry Silver Falls Sustainability's lip balm, laundry sheets from Tru Earth and Friendsheep's wool ornaments and décor but those are really the only three brands that I was missing when I browsed their shelves. While a few of the items are cheaper online, for those who like feeling or seeing items first (especially with makeup) Fillgood is a great store with a lot of selection to help you get tuned into what's out there and currently available in low waste and plastic free. read more

Fillgood - feel good, get it? You feel good knowing you are not contributing to anymore plastic waste by filling up here with your own containers. Very straightforward place. You bring in your own containers, they weight it out to deduct what you really get from their store. I love that they have many selection to chose from and all very friendly to the sensitive skin. They also smell great too and not overwhelming. If you are sensitive to scents, they have non scented options too. They also have various Knick knacks to look at. From stainless steel lunch canteen, stainless steel razor blades, straws, tote bags, etc. it's fun just to look around. read more

A lovely little shop for the environmentally-conscious consumer. From all your bath needs, toothpaste bits, dusters, tee tree oil, aloe vera, and all that good stuff. I just bought one a pack of all-purpose cleaner tabs that you mix with water in aspray bottle and you're good to go. Great service, you also get a little stamp card to go with it. read more

*a review during the COVID-19 pandemic* I recently moved back to the Bay Area after living in OC and I needed a new zero waste store. I came here during the week around when they opened for the day and there was plenty of parking close to the store. I was greeted by one of the staff members when I entered and she gave me some hand sanitizer before entering the store. If you're unfamiliar with a zero waste store, you can bring your own container to refill on any beauty, bath, or household product or they have containers for you to use. They also sell plenty of eco-friendly/sustainable products. I'm always happy to support a local business and I love that I have a new zero waste store to go to. All the staff are also very friendly and helpful! read more

I am 200% enthusiastic about the body care products I get here. Besides being all less waste, and eco friendly. The shit is good! I use bar conditioner, shave bar, hair balm. I'll take pictures later. Also I bring in containers to get liquid hand soap. I DO think next time, I'll make sure they take a TARE (the weight of the container) off of the cost of the product. Make sure you do too! The weight of the jar or whatever might be 1/3 of the weight of the total cost! And that would be a HUGE rip off. read more

I've been going here for years, helpful dnd friendly staff and they are helping to save the planet!

We've been coming here for a few years now mainly for laundry detergent, dishwasher powder, solid dish soap, and dish brushes, but also for lip balm, candles, and body products. Today we came by for refills for our main staples and they were closed for inventory but they let us in and were super helpful. They're always adding new products and have Blueland and TP now from Who Gives a Crap. Highly recommend Fillgood! read more

I love this store and their mission to reduce plastic waste! They carry a spectrum of household and beauty products that have all been of great quality in my experience. Some items may feel expensive at the outset, but I've found that the products often stretch further than expected and it feels like a small investment when considering the impact of a healthier planet. Fillgood also offers home delivery in the Bay Area or in-store pick-up for online orders. I sincerely appreciate that they make sustainability so much more convenient and attainable in this plastic-choked world. read more

If you are reducing or refusing plastic in your life, this is the store for you. They have toiletries, cleaning products, and other household sundries in beautiful plastic free forms. Yes it's a little pricey, but if you have the means, supporting stores like this, even swapping out a few items a year, is a way to reduce our plastics problem. read more

I'm gonna try not to go into details, I just experienced the worst customer service from the owner. If you like these products, I would suggest ordering online. Personally, I will be looking for another company.. read more

Great selection of earth-friendly, low waste home & beauty products with an even better selection of these items in bulk! Give them a try and support both local businesses and the earth! read more

I can't not say enough good things about this brand. I got the pleasure to meet the owner who is someone who truly believes into the goal of the brand which is to save plastic, be eco-friendly and provide healthy products. I trust all their products and tried many of them over the past years. They are always high quality. Now you need to try, they are organic and plastic free so some may fit your needs, some may not. Some of my favorite are the dish soap, laundry, shampoo bar etc...delivery isn't as frequent than other brands, some products are sold out but it's worth to help a small business and have the insurance that you're helping the earth and your health. read more

I love the products this store sells so I shop there frequently and will continue to do so. However, I am a single mother and many times have brought my toddler to Fillgood with me and every time one of the staff members has been less than kind to me and/or my daughter. If the customer service was better I would give Fillgood 5 stars. read more

I used to love Fillgood. When I lived in Palo Alto I could get items delivered to my door. Now that I live in San Leandro it is more difficult since they do not deliver to many East Bay addresses. I live 35 minutes away and have wasted 2 trips to their store. The first time, the detergent I specifically came for was sold out. Today, I drove another 35 minutes and arrived a few minutes after 6:00 pm. My daughter ran in to ask if they could just sell a gallon of lavender detergent to which they said they were closed and would only help the last customer in the store. I will have to purchase my Puretergent products directly from the manufacturer from now on. This is truly disappointing because I used to love coming to their store. read more

I've been shopping at (and getting local deliveries from) Fillgood for years. They've got a lot of great bulk cleaning and beauty products to choose from, plus a bunch of zero-waste home goods, makeup, skincare, etc. I get all my hand soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, stain removers, etc. from them as well as a lot of my skincare and makeup there. They sell David's toothpaste without the plastic cap and metal key, which is awesome because I felt super guilty getting a new metal key every time. I love that you can bring extra jars and bottles to the store to be used by other people to fill up. read more

This is a wonderful offering on Solano Ave. I am grateful to friend Nancy for introducing me to Fillgood. I started my purchase with fill up of our hand dishwashing liquid. This visit I got a bamboo hairbrush and intend to return to get hairbrush for my daughters. I have a load of stuff for lotions, shampoo and rinse. Look forward trying products at Fillgood. Do check them out, visit website to read all about them, and visit the store. The energy in the space is calm, and soft music playing, the service assisting me to get what I needed and welcomed me to wander around. read more

I love this store. It's light and airy. I could spend more than 30 mins inside. I wanted a soapdish and it's $12. I may have to order online. I need to bring my shampoo bottle. read more

You can make a contribution to 'acting locally' now to reduce plastic waste, and become more eco-conscious. I buy my dish soap, dishwasher powder, all-purpose cleaner here. It's roughly equivalent in price, and certainly equivalent in effectiveness - just without the landfill waste. read more

So glad this place to remove excess packaging, plastic and waste came along to grace Solano Ave! We have become regulars here - sourcing our dishwashing, laundry, toothpaste, shampoos and more as often as we need these items. It is refreshing how energizing it can be to take action aligned with your values, and that's exactly how it feels every time I shop here and come back with a quirky bottle of something that I need. My hope is that this store becomes a staple for all who are willing to invest in the future and the planet! read more

I love this place! This store gives us all an option for reusing plastic containers and reducing our use of plastics in general. I use them for all my basic household cleaning and bath products. I love that I can bring my own containers and just get them refilled. The staff is very helpful and can speak about each product. I hope this kind of store can exist in every city. read more

I've been happily using their Bay Area delivery service lately but since I would be in the area, had a very efficient and safe trip in today! Arrived at my appt time, allowed in after applying hand sanitizer, and picked my own products from the shelves while they filled jars they had on hand with my choice of hand and dish soap. You get the whole variety shop to yourself and it's easy to leave with a lot! And FYI they have an area to drop off your empty containers/bag next to the door. read more

I believe in this store, their mission, and the staff is great. I just wished the prices were lower. I believe their dish washing liquid (Seventh Generation) is twice the price per ounce as at Safeway, but without the plastic bottle. read more

Sorry to be the naysayer here, but as the 2 stars denotes: "It could've been better." I hope that improves. I really like the concept. And I want to support local businesses, particularly those trying to reduce waste. So this place seemed like a good fit. I'd been there once before and found what I needed, and was happy with that. But I don't want to have to either waste my time going in person to see if they have what I need in stock, or use facebook messenger to find out if they have what I need in stock. To me that defeats the purpose of buying local. Things here are not cheap, and even when you supply your own containers, prices of things I was interested in come out to more than purchasing online and having them delivered to your door. While I'm certainly grateful to now have the privilege to be able to spend more for to shop locally if I choose to do so, I don't really want to do so when the business doesn't consider my time as valuable as their own. The problem for me first arose when I could not find a phone number for Fillgood. I looked all over their website and google, but nothing came up. I wanted to see if they had the item I needed in stock before taking the time to walk the 2+ miles for nothing. And I def didn't want to drive up Solano for a single item. After running out of what I needed, I made the time to walk up there. When I arrived, there was one staff person and one customer inside. The staff person did not acknowledge me (though the customer, who was very friendly, did). I looked for the item I wanted, which appeared to be out of stock. I waited patiently for the first customer to be taken care of, but the staff person appeared to be searching for something online for the customer. After a few minutes, the customer actually suggested the staff member help me and offered to leave her contact info for whatever it was she was looking for. I was grateful to the customer, but surprised and disappointed that the staff would need another customer to mention this. When the customer left, I asked about the item I came for, which was confirmed out of stock. I mentioned I'd tried to find a contact number to , and the staff essentially check on the item before coming, and staff essentially said they didn't have a number because it would be too hard to answer the phone and help customers at the same time. I was also informed that I could send a message via facebook if I had questions.... That kind of floored me. I mean, not everyone uses or wants to use facebook, and even if you do, it doesn't mean you would think to use, or want to use, facebook as a means of contacting a local business just to see if they have an item in stock. Further, and more importantly, retail businesses have been answering the phone AND helping in store customers for decades. Apparently that's a practice Fillgood feels needed to change. But it's one of the reasons I generally prefer local businesses- you can actually reach them when you have a question without having to rely on the internet, and even worse, social media. The reasoning provided also fell short, as in all the times I've passed this store, I've never seen more than a couple customers inside at one time. The one other time I went there, there were two staff people and one other customer. I like to shop local to support local business. To me "local business" means a place that is accessible to the local community without the use of internet or social media. This place seems to take the bent that customers should either use the internet to contact them, or take time out of their own day to schlep over here to find out if they have something in stock. If I have to use the internet to find out if they have something, I may as well place an online order at a place that charges less and will deliver it to my door, thereby saving me time to go and do something I enjoy, which generally does not include buying toiletries and other sundry items. With some attitude adjustments and easier accessibility, I'd gladly shop here, but otherwise it's not worth taking extra time out of my day. read more

The shampoo from Fillgood is the best I've ever used. My hair stays cleaner for longer without dryness. I love their laundry detergent too, and the options for different scents, or no scent. read more

Found this place after looking on line for good options to reduce my plastic use. This little store had everything I was looking to refill and also try out. Reasonable prices and such a great resource for our community. Glad this place exists. read more

With the amount of plastic clogging up the oceans it is vital to reduce our packaging consumption. Fillgood makes that easier with great products that are either in biodegradable packaging or refillable. read more
