I had got a new job in Riverside. To order their shirts was not practical. So my manager told me about Joy Embroidery and that they had our company logo on file and that I could just buy my own shirts and have the logo put on. What a great idea! They are friendly, fast, and good! They usually give you the longest estimate on how long it would be before your order is ready. I always got a call sooner than the promised date! read more

Extremely warm and accommodating staff. i ordered a line jacket here for my great grand little, and although I was very indecisive about what I wanted, the employee remained patient and helped me choose throughout the process by suggesting customer favorites. I picked up my jacket the same day since it was a simple design. Depending on the time of year, they're generally quick to finish the product. From t-shirts to varsity jackets, they have a wide variety of choices with decent prices. Joy has tons of fabric choices (and if you don't like any of them, you could bring in your own) and a plethora of colors for stitching. You can choose to pay in half or in full, but I would recommend half just so that if they make a mistake, you can get away with only paying 50% the price! read more

Great place to go to buy paddles/wooden letters, but for embroidery, I prefer Progressive. Joy's does very nice work, there are a handful of friendly workers there to help you, and the store is nice and spacious... but the downfall is that it is PRICEY. However, they have a large selection of hoodies, hats, shirts, sashes, aprons (??) for you to choose from, if you are one of those people who take the $$$ route and buy the clothing items there too instead of just bringing in your own. read more

This place doesn't deserve a star but in order to post my complaint to protect serious people who needs a reliable company, this isn't your place. My 2K order went to waste because of Vanessa who cannot even take instructions well TWICE in a row. Don't even bother investing this company when there is plenty of others that values customers & employs people who can take instructions well. Don't even have Vanessa take your order. I so am not going to do business here if they can't employ people who can take instructions well & had an attitude with a customer is unprofessional. This company doesn't value customers & only care about wasting people's money. Enjoy wasting your money. read more

Many of my sorority sisters have used this place previously. They are a small place that is personable, and is definitely a go-to place for Greek Letters. The people that work here are super sweet/nice. And the letters you get are nothing short of the quality you expect! This place is better than any other online place you can go to. I would definitely think about making this place your "go-to" place for Greek Gear. read more

BEWARE OF WHAT YOURE PAYING FOR! This place has terrible customer service. Every time I come here I try to have minimal interaction with the workers as much as possible. Unfortunately, they are the only option I have for embroidery work and I believe they know that it's the same for many of their customers, so they don't care about being professional. I was almost charged $96 for 3 Greek letters! Upon asking the girl to breakdown the price she gave me attitude. While explaining that I had previously purchased a zip up from their exact store a few days before, she tried to charge me for it again. I offered to show my bank statement, but she refused and talked to her manager, returned and then asked for my bank statement. I paid my balance and left. A week later I return to pick up my jacket only to find out there was an extra $10 charge on the rest of my balance. The same girl is working and I approach her to ask about the price. She responds "we already talked about it last time" with complete attitude. Heated and filled with annoyance, I couldn't even talk to her, so I had my friend ask her to breakdown the prices again. Behold, she realizes her mistake and says "she was right." Not once did she speak to me and apologize for her actions. They should hire people who actually care about their job. She has no respect for me or my concerns. ALWAYS ASK FOR WHAT YOURE PAYING FOR! read more

I've heard so many good things about this place and wanted to see how good they were! The lady there was super helpful! She had the most patience and really wanted to make sure you got what you wanted. So don't be afraid to ask questions. By far this is the best place to get your letters done! They finished 3 days early and did everything perfectly. A+++ to this place! read more

This place is awesome! Right off Blain and Iowa in Riverside by UCR. I go to CSUF, all of my friends and I go to this place. It is worth the drive. I have yet to see them mess up an order or deliver later than they said they would. As long as you tell them what you want, they do it flawlessly. Only downside, is that their website sucks. read more

This is the best embroidery shop in Riverside. Their prices are always reasonable and they deliver faster than they say they will on every order. The quality is great and it lasts and lasts. read more

My go to place for greek letters. I'm always willing to make the drive from San Diego to Riverside just for these letters, and I'm not he only one. People from all over Southern California come here for letters (so keep in mind, during formals season, it'll probably take longer to get letters done). I recently headed over to Joys to get nine sets of letters done for my kids/littles and the service was excellent!! Ritika was the one who helped me out and she was super attentive and answered all of my questions. I'm super indecisive too, but she was really helpful in helping me decide what to get. They estimated that it would take about 2 weeks, but honestly, if it's not formals season, they usually get them done in about a week or less. Yes, it can get a little pricey, but the quality of the letters are superb and definitely worth it. read more

I usually never review on-food places on yelp, but I have to review this place. I was looking for embroidery places for my little's and San Jose had extremely expensive prices. I called up joy to have my jackets shipped to them + I can pick them up when I visit and without any questions they said yes! Extremely affordable and super friendly + accomodating. read more

I like their work but I have to be honest, their lack of professionalism KILLS me.. I've been in a couple times but this last time was a less than ideal experience. I asked for a quote on printing and the girl didn't even get up to help. She sat there eating while talking to me.. Shouldn't you go on break or have someone else talk to the customer instead of talking with your mouth full of food? read more

Normally I really like this place, they are cheap and very accommodating. I recently placed a large order with them and when I got it back they had misspelled one of the names and I checked the invoice and it was spelled correctly. So someone messed up in the stitching process. Called twice and still haven't heard from them.. 5 stars for price 1 star for customer service read more

Joy Embroidery is the best! My son attends a uniformed Charter STEAM Academy. Joy's prices are the best! The turn around time is about a week for an order of 4 items. The Clerk Young is super helpful and informed. He showed us the system/ technology they use to create the embroidery. They were able to create the school logo by visiting the school's homepage and recreate it in their software. I also got my son's name embroidered on his uniform vests and jackets. Young made sure he had my order correct twice before I left. I am definitely a repeat customer. Quality work fair prices‍! read more

I am on the booster club for local high school. We had parkers to get embroidered on the arms and custom lettering on the back. The order I placed was complete ahead of schedule and their pricing was very fair. Thank you for taking the time to work with us and do a great job for our player! We will be a repeat customer. read more

wait, really?! no frat boys or sorority girls have shown joy some of your greek love on yelp?! ridic. joy embroidery was my go to location for greek letter sweatshirts, the prices are amazing and you can even bring in your own fabric from fabric stores to customize your own sweatshirt/apparels. i was assigned as the "t-shirt chair" one year for my sorority (ok don't laugh, this position existed)... and "dad's day" came up and i needed matching dad and daughter polo shirts made for the event. i came up with a super hard to embroider logo with a detailed football and letters, needless to say, joy did an amazing job at mass producing 100+ polo shirts in different sizes with precise quality. owned by a very nice korean couple. communication might be a tad bit difficult, but bringing in drawings will help. p.s. they've got embroidery threads in the colors of the pentone spectrum (not just colors of the rainbow). you best believe you will find your color. read more

I came here for an order of about 70 shirts for my student organization and the shirts look great. They were very accomodating to what I wanted for our shirts. In addition, the order went by fairly quickly. Hope to do more business with them soon. read more

I'm from norcal and had ordered letters from here. Their quality of the letters are much nicer than the ones you ordered from websites, as well a good reasonable price. Cheaper + good quality ++++ The one star that would drop them would be their customer service. Its either they take a few days to get to your email reply or not at all, so you must call in. When you do call in, theres a girl that always picks up. She seems nice greeting but when you have questions, she throws you an attitude vibe answer. read more

Joy's usually asks for about a week for letters but I went to them on more than one occasion asking if they could finish them faster. The first time they were able to finish it within 4 days and the second time they finished it within a day and a half. Both times they gave me a courtesy call to let me know the letters were ready for me to pick up. They're so lenient and willing to accommodate you and the embroidery is perfect to every stitch. Definitely coming here when I have other orders. read more

I am from Riverside originally and was excited when I went Greek to learn there was a Greek shop in town! I checked it out a few times but never ordered. Well I needed some gifts for a little sister present and went to just get simple embroidery, bringing in my own shirts to get done. The two young girls working the counter didn't come off to me as very helpful to being with. Finally when one began to take the order she was kind of confused on pricing. This I DID NOT like at all. A respectable business should have a set pricing list and not have someone just make it up off the top of their head. I was first quoted $6, then she went and looked at someon else's order form in a pile and came back and said it would be $9. Then when we started to talk about threading and I felt like everything I chose she wanted to add a $1 to. At that point I was so frustrated with every little add on that I just decided to pull my order. It was the price that rubbed me wrong, it was just the fact that I felt like it was completely subjective to what that girl wanted to charge me. Prices should be set and written for the customer to see what they are getting/being charged for. The only thing I would probably go back here for is paddle letters, they have a good variety. read more

This place is a solid choice if you want some letters. They have a wide variety of letter fonts and sizes. Pages and pages of examples to help you decide. The staff is nice and helpful. Also good place to make your paddles because they have a whole wall filled with wooden letters and sizes. Took roughly one week to get my set finished. read more

Overpriced but, convenient. Had a friendly staff that was really helpful.

Exceptional Customer Service and Incredible Work! My job was a small, just some embroidery on a hat for my wife so I wasnt expecting to be treated the same as a large order of letterman jackets or anything however they staff at joys was very patient and polite even though I had no idea really what I wanted! I took in a hat and an idea and they helped me choose the right color and style, then gave me an estimated finish time. After a few days I kind of forgot about it and then got a cal today, a week BEFORE they initially said they would have it done telling me they had it ready! The finished product came out AWESOME and I could not be happier! I will surely be back for my next project and highly recommend any one needing embroidery work done do the same! read more

Very kind staff, helpful folks, and extremely reasonable price.

This is honestly the go to place for anything you need to embroider especially letters. All the sweaters I've gotten embroidered from here are such good quality! read more

So I had no clue really how to make letters but luckily I had Stephanie assist me. She was very kind and guided me through the routine. She looked over my design and helped me come up with two sweaters that I absolutely love. They even finished my letter within like two days......AMAZING. I felt like the prices were fair and besides the excellent service the atmosphere is welcoming. I will DEFINITELY be returning. Thanks for everything . read more

Prices are double what Progressive is! Same product double the price and they didn't let me cancel a day later because they said they had already order the embroider? However they had told me it would take 2 weeks? No integrity read more

I've come here for letters and paddles my entire college career. Their letters a great quality as well as their paddles. The only down side is that their pricing is a little high and their turnaround can take as long as 2 weeks so don't wait to put in last minute orders if you need it sooner than then. read more

Fast and fair prices! I have used Joy for years now and they always do a great job. Their selection of embroidery font could be improved.

LOVEEE this place. Me and all my friends ALWAYS go to Joy Embroidery for greek sweatshirts, jackets, shirts, ect. The owner is korean and they are extremely friendly. I've probably gotten 5 sets of sweaters here and I'm completely satisfied with each outcome. Doesn't take too long for them to get the job done and the pricing isn't too bad. read more

I came here to get a friend's birthday present embroidered and they did a great job. They were fast and knew exactly what I wanted. Good pricing too and close to where I lived. read more

Came in to get a backpack embroidered and they did a great job! A few stray strings after some use but I'm sure that happens. Good service and they are very busy. Got my item quicker then promised. Only 4 stars because I haven't used any other services... will update once I get letters made. read more

They have decent pricing on screenprinting tshirts, and always deliver before the date promised. Was originally told that there would only be a one time setup fee of $60, but they charge us that everytime we go and tried to explain it away read more

They are always helpful and get things done on time. The quality of the stitching isexcellent. The quality of the pilots isn't the best though. read more

Good and fast service. Very pleased with custom embroidery job.

I absolutely love the work these people do. So much so that I drive all the way from Las Vegas to get my embroidery done. However, the customer service is not as stellar. I made calls for general inquiries but staff are never helpful & always refer me to the website, which is in dire need of an update. I appreciate the work they put in but they aren't very helpful unless you physically visit the store. Very disappointing especially since I go out of my way to get my stitching done with them. read more

I go to CP SLO and Joys has always been reliable for distant and local customers. They have always done my letter customizations right. My sorority often gets our house letters from here. Their response times to emails is timely and they work with us through every step of the order to ensure that everything is correct. They also make the time to call before charging your card and review your order if you're a distant customer. So whether you walk in, call or email, Joys will surely fulfill your order within a reasonable time. Their cheap embroidery prices are just the icing on the cake. read more

Friendly staff, quick service. The only thing is that they mess up sometimes and screws up the clothing but they offer 50% off or redo. Its ok. read more

ALWAYS good work and reasonable. Used them for years and brought them a lot of referrals. We all love their work. Customer service is great. When they're busy, they're busy. Good for them! On a break? They still help me sometimes. SEDUCTIVE WORLDWIDE uses them to a great degree as well our own business. No need to look elsewhere! read more

Always go here to get my sorority letters made. It's difficult designing letters but I'm thankful the girls working there assist me each time. I am never disappointed when I pick up my designs! read more
