    Clockwise: glow in the dark straws, balloons, napkins, and plates

    I usually go to the Palo Alto location as it's the closest to me. This was my first time at the Berkeley location. I was nearby and needed to pick up penis paraphernalia for a bachelor party, and Good Vibes did not disappoint! (See photo) + Although Good Vibes is a bit pricier than other sex positive stores, I highly recommend them. The Palo Alto and Berkeley locations are both very clean. Staff are very approachable and knowledgeable not only about matters related to sex but also pelvic health. I also appreciate that they sell: * Literature on various topics (I.e. menopause/menstruation, sex & disability, pregnancy & motherhood, LGBT, sexual trauma, etc.) * Smart "Kegel" trainers like kGoal (It would be nice if they carried other options for pelvic floor muscle biofeedback like Perifit which has fun games or options for those with male anatomy or vaginismus.) * Vaginal and rectal dilators - My only gripe was the curbside site which is no fault of this location. The site only had Oakland as an option even though the Berkeley staff confirmed over the phone that they had the items that I was looking for. FYI their curbside site (goodvibescurbside.com) has a separate support line than the main site. + Excellent service: The staff remembered that I had called the day before for all the party supplies. I was also offered discrete packaging. + Parking: There was ample street parking when I was there on a Thursday afternoon. + Loyalty program: They no longer do stamp cards, but you can convert your stamp card to a physical card that can be added to your phone wallet. The points can be used online and in stores. Make sure to register the card online! Just a tip: There's currently a Yelp deal $10 for $20 and free lube with purchase.

I actually found him after speaking with a different boudoir photography company whose ad I had seen on Instagram; I decided to do some research before committing to anyone, and found Cheshire on Yelp, checked out his website, and put in an inquiry. He called me very quickly and the conversation was so different from the other places I spoke with! Instead of just laying out "here's how it works, here's what you get for this price," etc., he asked a lot about what I was looking for, what I hoped to get out of it, my motivations or inspirations, etc. That personal touch carried throughout the experience. He consistently made an effort to understand what I was looking for--from the planning process to the photo shoot to going through the photos afterward--to make sure that I got exactly what I was hoping for. The photos themselves are absolutely awesome. It's incredible the different looks and feels he creates in a relatively small studio. More importantly, he just has an incredible eye for what is going to look good and how to create looks, moods, etc. I felt super comfortable the whole time, and I think that shows in the final product. Everyone who has seen my pictures has been blown away. He's way more than just a photographer; he's a true artist. Never in a million years had I ever imagined having a giant naked photo of myself on my wall, and yet here we are...and everyone who's seen it has been amazed. Can't recommend him highly enough!

    The person who helped me in the store was knowledgeable, but a bit condescending and fake-nice…read more Granted, I was a bit critical of some of the products to my friend, but I never directed those comments at the staff nor was I making a scene. It was like the staffer took my critique personally; either that, or the prickly demeanor is her default, idk. When I discovered an issue with one of my products, I called to clarify their policies. The person on the phone was immediately defensive, even though I had made no accusations nor demanded a refund. Good Vibes has a culture problem; I experience this "vibe" at a lot of their stores. I gave both of these people the benefit of the doubt, and tried to redirect the interaction to a more positive and relaxed tone. Neither of them reciprocated. Customer service can really suck, but it's like these people would rather drown in 6in of water than simply stand up and be nice. I used to like some of their proprietary products, but since they are discontinued, I now feel free to shop elsewhere. The prices are just ridiculous, too.

    Been years since I last visited this shop. But still as great as I remember. Sex-positive,…read more body-positive educational focus with knowledgable, helpful, and respectful staff. Don't let those other reviews deter you from going! Oh and I almost forgot to mention they have a great replacement policy if gadgets break. Just return the product with all parts and show proof of purchase within 2 years.
