This Gap is one of the largest I have ever seen. I also love the drive I take up the coast to get to this location. It's in beautiful Crystal Cove, so the views are stunning. The staff here are friendly, although sometimes they are slow to help get a fitting room started when you have armfuls of clothing. The fitting rooms are always pretty filthy - PLEASE sweep them! Once a year would help! They also pretty regularly have sales, so keep an eye out for that. Most of the time, they'll give you a coupon with your receipt for 20% off a full price item if you complete the online survey (which takes all of two minutes and is worth it). Bottom line: - great location - huge store with lots in stock - friendly staff - dirty dressing rooms Happy shopping :) read more

The salesperson was very rude , unhelpful and seemed uninterested in doing anything to help me out . She was aloof and condescending .

Terrible customer service. Walker in and staff was shopping for themselves, trying on clothes. Other sales associate paced the store and never made eye contact, no greeting, couldn't be bothered. read more

I never write reviews but I was treated so rudely by a woman with dark hair at this Gap location. My family was in shopping and I walked in to grab my toddler to load her into the car and the older woman with dark hair yelled at me and told me I couldn't come inside. It made me feel so unsafe and I started to cry. It was still 10 minutes to closing and people were still obviously shopping. I was not interested in shopping but merely wanted to grab my toddler. I would avoid this location at all cost. I felt unsafe, unwelcome, and was treated so poorly. read more

You know, I needed a pick me up today. The staff here was so courteous and welcoming, esp Patrick! He was so helpful in directing me where things were, following up and informing of the sales. Though I did not buy any clothes, I def spent a good amount on jewelry (60% off and they're similar and cheaper in price to the ones at BR). Just wanted to give a shout-out to great customer service. The place is divided into three sections: male on the left, women in the middle and baby to the right end. The fitting room is on the men's side (left) of the cashier. read more

Gap - Men's Clothing Near Me - Newport Coast, California

In an era where retail has lost its way, Monica was absolutely amazing and a testament to the old retail mentality. She took care of me as a guest without any explanation needed and with the extra mile. She is a feather in the cap of this region read more

Went in today to shop and grab a couple things and Monica the manager told me not to be touching their clothes because I was becoming to messy. I really am understanding but how am I not supposed to touch the clothes when your team isn't helping me ? I also want to say the greeter Mellissa was extremely rude and was whispering to her team to keep an eye on me. As if I was going to ruin their store that was empty with no customers . I will not be coming back again. And I strongly urge you all to buy better quality products and receive service else where. read more

Yikes... Went in today to shop around and was actually going to buy a cute pair of jeans until a sales rep (woman with reddish blonde hair) came up to us incredibly rudely and told us to be quiet because the staff were having a meeting. We were talking quietly between the two of us and the staff were far louder than we were. We were only in there for a few minutes before this happened and we felt so unwelcome and disrespected. :( read more

Went there with a few friends to shop. One of my friends and I were paying for clothes and when we went to check on our other friends they said the Gap employee (Patrick the manager) was rude to them telling them they were closing and to check out. He told us we were rude for standing around when the store was closing. We did not know the store was closing until he told us we must exit. When we exited we saw the sign said they were open for another hour. Albeit it was Memorial Day so maybe they were closing early, but we did not know and no manager should take that attitude towards his clients. read more

Gap - The hours are on the window saying open until 7. - Men's Clothing Near Me - Newport Coast, California

It's THE GAP, folks! These prices are outrageous!!! Might explain why there was nobody in the store!

So, I've been shopping here forever and always loved it but I've noticed that slowly their service and pricing has greatly declined. It came to a crescendo today when I made a large purchase of gifts and Xmas gifts only to be told I'd have to drive to their sister store to get boxes to wrap them in! I mean, seriously??? I was told it was "too much of a hassle" for them to keep them in stock. SO, apparently, they are ok with passing the "hassle" on to their customers! Crazy times. read more

Gap - Gap storefront in Crystal Cove, Newport Beach CA - Men's Clothing Near Me - Newport Coast, California

I ordered some things online and went in store to exchange the items and the girl helping me was very unpleasant and rude. She immediately gave me attitude for one of the items not having a tag on it and said the item looked used. Mind you I just received the item in the mail the day prior and it did not come with a tag and was completely unworn just tried on. I really did not appreciate being talked down to and will not be coming back here. I didn't catch her name but she had a heavy accent. read more

Great store large and not busy at all staff are friendly fitting rooms are open and the most tidy i have seen

Would like to highlight this store in particular! I was excited to take advantage of a limited time sale, but had my credit frozen for safety. The manager, Julie, helped her team to accommodate the sale although I needed to take steps to pursue the credit application. It got bit complicated, but the sales reps Ellie and Annessa did all they could to help the situation and my experience. Then, an experienced rep ended up finishing my transaction efficiently. It was honorable to have the sale given, even though it seemed it was an exception based on what had been communicated to me around the sale. They're a fantastic team here and I'm very grateful for their customer service! Thank you ladies!!! read more

Strange experience here today. Customer service rep follows you around- even though your a local.

Wow. Terrible customer service!! Jacob was terrible! Whatever happened to saying hello and thank you? And he wouldn't even tell me what my total was. I guess they don't get paid to say anything anymore? read more

This is a gorgeous location. It has a view of the coast and it's right on PCH in Newport Beach. I'm pretty sure you're not coming here for the view, though, so moving on... PRO: 1) It's huge. I've been to Gap stores all over the country, and outside of the San Francisco one, this is one of the biggest ones I've seen. More items = more sale items. 2) There is always a fitting room open. I've been there when people are holiday shopping, and I've never had to wait for a room. 3) The store is very well laid out and there is always an easy to find associate if you have any questions. Cons: 1) There is no cell phone reception in the place. Does that affect your shopping? Probably not, but I don't like it. 2) The fitting rooms are always dirty. It wouldn't take much to sweep the place, but I've never been in a fitting room without a bunch of dust bunnies hanging out with me. 3) At least one of the managers is incompetent. I don't feel like calling him out by name because he FINALLY (45 minutes later!!) fixed the problem, but seriously... if your cashier can't handle an online return (I don't blame her - maybe she was new, but she was nice enough) and has to call you FIVE TIMES... you should have stepped in and fixed it as soon as she called you the second time. If I was in a worse mood, I would have complained. But they definitely lost some sales that day. I walked right out after that. Bottom line, it's a large store with a large selection (they always have swim and Gap Body stuff in their clearance), so as long as you don't mind a little dirt and do your returns elsewhere, it's an OK place. Sign up for their emails. They have 40% off your entire purchase pretty regularly, so you can pretty safely wait for something to go o sale before you buy it. read more

Not so much GAP fan but I don't mind shopping at this particular GAP. It is close to my house and never crowded like the ones at mall. Always find my kids favorites here, too. The store is lean and pretty well organized, I think. read more

I'm not a die-hard Gap shopper, but with their constant emails offering up to 40% off, how could I resist? So I ordered some nice black pants off their women's premium pant collection and since they advertise that it's free shipping and hassle free returns, I ordered a few extra pairs in different sizes. I guess that's the only downside to online shopping. I had a few pairs of pants that I planned on returning but upon looking for their return policy, I couldn't find it anywhere on the order form mailed with my order. I also had a hard time finding it online and then just decided to call a store. I had called the South Coast Plaza Gap to find out it was a 60 day return policy. Great, I thought, no problemo! Turns out, online returns verses store purchased returns have different return policies. What a horrible overall company policy! Anyways, not wanting to be out over $160 in pants that didn't fit, I looked this up on the internet and found a few forums that said that some Gap store managers are willing to work with the tricky policy if you're still within the 60 day period. Of course, the Gap at South Coast was no help at all, and I decided to call this location at the Crystal Cove Promenade. Austin answered my phone call and sympathized with my situation. He personally said that he would take care of me if I was able to come into the store by the end of the day (Sunday) since he wasn't working the next day. I happily agreed. The return was quick and simple, and voila ~ got a full refund back! GREAT, great customer service!!! The best part was that this location is actually quite large and has a huge section for sale items. I picked up a few things and left an extra happy customer! I'd definitely make the drive out here next time, especially since their customer service was spectacular compared to other locations (yes, I am talking about you South Coast) !! PS. They have a 20% off a regular priced item Yelp check-in offer! I'm surprised to see such a large corporate company with this offer. read more

Eeek is an understatement! Shopper beware! When trying to return something and questioning the "in store credit amount" that I would receive, I asked for a manager. A "manager" showed up and was so rude that I decided to simply ask him for his name and said that I would come back another time. He scribbled on the paper handed it to me and walked off. I said "excuse me, I can't read this" and fortunately caught a glimpse of this name tag before he covered it with his hand and walked away from the counter. I said "Excuse me Patrick?" and he walked away even faster, would not even acknowledge me. I use to like to shop here .... close to Laguna and an easy comfortable store. Never again! I will follow up with the store or regional manager .... Patrick's behavior was beyond unprofessional - and Gap needs to know how their employees behave. read more

In this retail banana republic there is a serious gap that exists between fashion as an individual statement and mass merchandising that looks like something regulated by an old navy manual. read more

Every time I have been to this store I have had nice and courteous service. I have always found great deals here in their sale section. Just got some dope jeans this weekend for $14- dolalrs... yes $14- dollars. I always seem to have luck here. Maybe it's me but I don't know give it a shot and try out your luck=) read more

GAP CASH SCAM! GAP "CASH" EXPIRES! Just like the cash in your wallet?! GAP CASH DOESN'T WORK WITH PROMOTIONS! (when was the last time you paid full price for gap online?!?!?!) This stuff EXPIRES! So don't believe the Gap "Cash" promo. The "Cash" in my wallet doesn't expire. So here's how it works... You have to weed through all the SPAM from Gap/Old Navy/BR in your inbox to find the code to use your soon to be worthless GAP CASH. There is not unique subject line or string of text to search for like "YOUR GAP CASH IS AVAILABLE" So after you sort though all your stupid promos about how to save 60% on sweaters for your "boyfriend" wtf, you will supposedly find your gap cash. However after wasting time digging through my inbox we realized THEY NEVER SENT ANY CODES! Obviously the marketing penny pincher scum bags that came up with this promotion are crossing their fingers that you will either forget or not find your gap cash. What makes things even worse is that if you even CALL the idiots at the Gap they can't even find or give you your cash code or even tell you if you used your old one! AWFUL! Can't use cash = NEGATIVE REVIEWS EVERYWHERE F U! read more

I am not a Gap Girl BUT if you like The Gap, Gap Body and Gap Kids you will LOVE this store. It is like the size of a small Target and it has everything Gap can offer. I think the best part is the sale rack in the body department. Always something soft is on there for $9.99. read more

Large location (although medium size assortment) with a friendly staff that is quick to help find what you need....but they won't bug you to death with service if you just want to browse on your own. read more

Really good store but I couldn't return something from online because they said it was a special store. But every one was so nice and inviting. The cashier was amazing and the service was great read more

The older blond lady that works in this store is rude and grumpy. I asked her if the soft tees are still on 50 percent off sale. She rudely said "no they are 30 percent off, it's 30 percent!!" Wow what a rude customer service person. I'll never go back to this Gap at Crystal Cove again. read more

As opposed to my previous experience at Gap/HB, I was impressed with the manager's display of excellent customer service here at the Newport Coast Gap!! I did a ton of shopping at Gap for various neice/nephew & baby outfits, as well as comfy loungewear for my sisters and me. So I racked up $70 in reward coupons, which I was about to use here on sweats and t's. The salesguy alerted me first that I could only use (1) $10 certificate per purchase. So. I asked to divide the items so I could use up my coupons...not my problem if that's their policy-always a way to make it win/win. Then he informs me they all expired two weeks prior. My bad for not noticing the fine print on the back and using them on time. But I didnt spend a ton of $ on my Gap card (instead of AA miles cc) to let these be wasted. So he asked his mgr...she did an over-ride. She ok'd the use of all coupons in one transaction (+ the use of the $55 check they mailed me as my refund from a previous return). Oh...those checks they now say they have to mail you: FYI- they have to be used for purchase at their store/not a check that I was told would be a 'refund'. So...I've slightly changed my tune about Gap, but mostly it's this manager at Newport that restored my faith in the bit of quality customer service they still offer. read more

I love this GAP. So convenient and everyone is so friendly. I am not sure what others are saying, but I have found most of the employees very helpful. read more

I've been coming to this store for a few years Kelley and Eric are very helpful, polite and courteous. They helped me finding my size and ordering the rest of items online. Kelley and Eric are honestly the most helpful people. There was another women that didn't acknowledge our existence and intentionally walked away when we have her a eye contact for help. 8/28/15 read more

This is my favorite location. Light and bright, helpful staff, well lit dressing rooms, plenty of selection of wardrobe building basics.

The GAP at the Crystal Cove Promenade has been a terrific store for casual clothing. I have found them courteous and helpful. They also make it so easy to return clothing for a refund that I purchase online--no hassles at all. read more
