not much to say that hasn't already been noted in all these glowing reviews, but it's worth repeating that jackie is a lovely & friendly business owner & goes out of her way to be helpful to customers. the store has a great variety of products, both used and new, and i always find something special for my toddler. i also appreciate the friendly chats we have - whether it's about local community resources that she's recommending or a random craft project she thinks my son may enjoy. most recently i picked up a pair of limited edition vans and a cute, graphic baseball cap, both items priced at about 1/3 of retail, but looked essentially brand new. i hope the shop stays around forever, it really is such a gem! read more

Would be nice for updated hours . Came here Wednesday at 120 and they were closed ... and the post it says they are now closed Tuesdays . Sucks cause I specifically checked Yelp before coming over and called but always got a busy tone read more

Kelly's Corner - Hours might need updating since it states they are open but aren't. Sucks cause I rushed down here during my lunch break! - Toy Stores Near Me - Oakland, California

Kelly's Corner is an Oakland Treasure! For years, this has been my first stop shop for good quality clothes and shoes and great toys for birthdays and Christmas. Recently, I have enjoyed the addition of the grown-up section as well. I always find great buys and love talking to Jackie and Kelly. read more

This store has awesome finds and I love coming here! The owner sticks the cutest clothes that are unique so the selection is much better than other kids stores. They have new toys and clothes as well which makes it easy to shop for gifts. I would definitely drop by when you're in the area - street parking is pretty easy. read more

Hands-down, the best place that you can buy used kids' shoes. Great selection of clothes and super helpful.

I just found Kelly's Corner recently and was very impressed with the amount of inventory, variety of kids clothes, kids toys and accessories, and also women's clothes and accessories too. Not only resale but also new products esp. toys. This is also a good place for nursing supplies. Every neighborhood needs a shop like this and it's a solid business in the Laurel district. If I ever need a gift for a younger child I would definitely check out Kelly's before going online to buy new things. read more

Make this your first stop for buying clothes, shoes, swimsuits, soccer shoes, winter coats, dance attire. You'll reduce waste, support the local community and probably have a nice conversation with the store owner. read more

I still love this place ... it is a great place to consign my kids clothes and now she's added women's consignment so I brought some of my clothes from before kids and my filler clothes from right after having my second until I lost the majority of the excess weight. I am always sure to find great gently use kids clothes in our favorite brands: Tea Collection, Janie and Jack, Zara, Hanna Andersson, Mini Boden, Gap, and even an occasional Naartjie. She also has a great selection of new toys ... lots of Melissa and Doug. This is my go to place to by gifts for kids birthday parties. She tries to have lots of educational toys and books. She also stocks items from local companies and writers. All in all, I'm for sure a regular. read more

Kids grow out of things so fast. It's great to find places to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Love the selection of puzzles and Djeco brand things. The owner is lovely. Let's support small, local businesses! read more

Stumbled across this place while waiting to get my cell phone screen repaired for the millionth time (hello toddler mom). The first thing I noticed was a heap of bags presumably of new (used) clothes to be sorted and put on racks. I went over to check out the merchandise and was blown away by the selection. I basically bought an entire season of really cute clothes for my 2 year old son on the spot. I pretty much cleared the 3T boys rack. Sorry I didn't leave anything for your kiddos. I'm planning on going back to do the same for my 3 month old today. Lucky for you they'll probably be even more great finds once the new bags are sorted. P.S. never buying new clothes for my kids again if I can help it. read more

I often pop in here to get second hand clothes or shoes for my kids. Recently it was my son's 4th birthday and we were all home sick. He had been asking everyday for over a month if his birthday was tomorrow and if he could please have a spider stuffie. He was so sad to miss his birthday at school and I had had no time to buy him a present because we had back ti back illnesses for a month. I called Kelly's corner, they had one and asked if I could pay over the phone and have her toss it out the door to me so as not to infect anyone .she was so sweet and offered to drive the gift to my house (we lived nearby)after work. She even wrapped it in a gift bag and added a few trinkets. It made his day and meant so much to me. Thank you! read more

Super cute new store in the Dimond District (remember all the fun you had at Oaktober Fest? Well, Kelly's Corner is located right in that neighborhood--bet ya missed it!). Her used clothes are so nice and so cheap! WOW! I love running down there for a couple pieces here and there. Some things still have the original tag on them. Best of all, in my opinion, the store carries the cutest selection of kid friendly gifts. I bought 3 of my friend's children awesome Melissa and Doug gifts, each appropriate for their respective ages, and it came out to $20 something dollars. That's WITH wrapping! Again, WOW. I'll be back again and again! read more

Jackie is fabulous. She keeps a great collection of consignment clothing at affordable prices, excellent for growth spurts. Also has a nice array of new toys that makes it a great stop for gifts. read more

A great local spot for kids used clothes and new books and toys. The owner is always really nice and you can't beat the prices. I sell some clothes there too so it's great to not feel so wasteful. read more

Very cute store! it has so many cute and nice items! I will be coming back!

I love this store for several reasons: 1. I got nice stuff to sell and she actually takes it. I am so tired of loading all my stuff up into my car and dragging it in to some snooty consignment store for them to go through it and tell me they're not interested. Only to turn around and look at the clothes in their store and see that the items are not half as nice and stylish as mine. This never happens at Kelly's Corner. If your items are nice they will be consigned. She wont turn you away because "it's not the right season". The only time she turns down my stuff is when she literally has no room for it. And I can usually tell by looking at the racks if its a good time to bring stuff in. 2. I love the prices. You cannot beat Kelly's Corner prices. For the shopper that's excellent because you get some really nice clothing and toys for a reasonable price. I know you might be thinking "well if I sell my stuff there my items wont make a lot of money", but The truth is she's going to take most of your nice stuff while the other consigned places aren't. Look at it this way, she might be giving people great deals but she's taking more of your items, which you would otherwise be donating, giving away for free or hoarding. 3. The toys are hella cool! When I go into a toy store and I don't know what I want to get and the sales person walks up to me and says "check this toy out! It can do A, B C and D, how cool is that"...... I am thoroughly impressed because half of the time when I am buying a toy for a kid I don't really understand what it does. It just looks cool. In Kelly's Corner I can tell the owner spends a lot of time researching what kids like so that she can purchase toys they will actually spend time playing with. 3. The store has expanded. The new location is much bigger, nicer and easier to shop in. There is a gated play area for the little ones to play while you shop. I cant tell you enough how refreshing that is. 4. There is a bathroom. It's not for the public, but she would never turn down a kid that needs to go potty. It so frustrating as a parent to be out shopping with my kids and not be allowed to take them to use the store bathroom. 5. The staff are all very nice, helpful and knowledgable. 6. The new store has great hours; Tuesday -Saturday, I think 10-6. Its closed Sunday and Monday, but rumor has it that more hours are coming soon. 7. There is lots of parking on the Main Street and even lots of free parking on the residential side streets. 8. Kelly's Corner is a big participant in our community. The owner is extremely active here in Oakland and she loves to give back. Which makes me want to shop there more to show her some love and support. read more

See all

This is the cutest little store! It combined both my love for thrifting and toys for my grandchildren! Our grandsons were going to spend night I wanted to have a little something they could open and play with. And of course a couple of new books to read at bedtime. I picked up Laser Pegs microsparks light up construction set. I thought they were cool because they could be used with Legos. They really are very nice and the blocks were easy to use. Unfortunately one of the lights was defective. The package has instructions and also an email where you can get replacements. They are really helpful and there is no charge for the replacement. I highly recommend them. Would make really cute stocking stuffers! Will definitely visit again. I like the store it gives you an option of purchasing new toys or helping with our carbon footprint and buying preloved toys. read more

I was just here for a baby wearing meeting. She has a great inventory! Maternity and nursing clothing! I saw some maternity jeans with the original tags on them! You gotta check this place out for maternity! Their baby and kids clothing section is huge! Shoes and socks as well. New and used toys. And the owner is super kind and I just love this store. My only complaint...parking. read more

I have had numerous great experiences here. Thought I already wrote a review, but in checking, I had not! Today, I went in for a swimming suit in 3T, body suits for 12 month, and pants for 12 month. I came out with two swim suits for 3T, 6 body suits for 12 month and 3 pairs of pants for 12 month. All of these things plus more all for $30.00. On my way out, I was intrigued by all of the new Melissa & Doug toys that Kelly's Corner has. I picked up a few to keep in the car. The owner suggested keeping a bag of toys in the car that are used to entertain the kids when out, such as at a restaurant. Brilliant! Unlike just "clicking" on something through Amazon, I was able to get real world advice on educational toys. So wonderful!! The new store is spacious, bright, and well organized. There is a lot of room to move around, every section is organized by size and then type. The owner was helpful and well informed. She was not pushy and even showed me a wonderful book and said to get this "next time" rather than suggesting I purchase it right that minute. I will be back again and again. read more

I was frustrated with all the stuff I had extra for my daughter even before she was born so I took it to this little shop in the diamond district and was amazed at how friendly the staff where and the vast variety of things she had available.... This is definately a one stop shop.... read more

The new store is great. There's an excellent selection of used clothes, always in good condition, always nicely sorted and put away. And shoes, usually priced between $5 and $10. And the toys! Wonderful stuff. There's an enclosed play area so you can shop in relative peace while your toddler entertains himself. Recent addition: nursing bras. Good idea. read more

Being a new mom means constantly being on the hunt for a good nursing bra. The kind that doesn't have those ridiculous pads in them (Seriously? Boobs with milk in them are big enough!) and the kind that doesn't make you look like you have a uni-boob. Motherhood is hard enough. Shopping for bras is not that fun either because very, very few people know the correct way to measure boobs (the best way is just to try it on). If you're in the same boat, the ladies at Kelly's Corner are here to help! I was introduced to some different brands and looooooove them. One more thing to help me look and feel "normal" again. Everything little detail helps! P.s. I also came here for clothes for my 3 month old but they didn't have a lot. There were definitely more for older kids. read more

It's a fun store for kids with a variety to choose from. I find it to be family friendly. I come here often to shop for unique items. As busy as Jackie maybe it doesn't stop her from being pleasant especially when I come almost closing time. It's nice to have a family store in the neighborhood. I referred several of my friends to shop here. GS read more

We love shopping here! Great selection of baby and kids clothing as well as other items (toys, shoes, hats, bags, etc.). The owner is very friendly and helpful. They have maternity and women's clothes as well. Support local business and check out Kelly's Corner! read more

Where shall I start with Kelly's Corner. The kids clothing selection is superb. Jackie, the owner, awesome as is Kelly her daughter. Whenever my girls books, toys, shoes or a costume, i always start at Kelly's Corner. The prices are right and so is the customer service. Win win read more

We are expecting our first grandchild and my son and daughter in law live in Berkeley so we scoped out some consignment shops in the Oakland area. It is a tiny shop just west of Fruitvale and we found it open on Saturday afternoon after visiting family in Laurel District. The young man working at the desk was very helpful. We were picking up items to accommodate both sexes as we don't know if a boy or girl is going to be born. We found and purchased books and adorable onesies and sweaters. There are toys, monitors, breastfeeding pillow supports, books and all sorts of items for sale. I look forward to coming back when the baby is born as they have everything organized so well and it is obviously a great resource for young families with children. read more

We just had our baby 5 days ago and I was recommended to Kelly's Corner by another shop that did not have the small cloth diapers that I needed. The lady running the shop was very helpful and even offered to come to our house to do custom nursing bra sizing. Looking forward to coming back when I am not so sleep-deprived! read more

This review is based on their store hours... I drove out of my way to come to this store, based on their good reviews. I arrived a little before 11, put my 2 1/2 month old in the stroller and walked over to the store. They were closed (even though it says on the door they open at 11) and there was no one in the shop with no lights on. I waited until 11:10 and no luck. As mamas know, trying to go places with a 2 1/2 month old is not easy. I won't be going back here because of this frustrating experience. read more

Jackie is one-of-a-kind. Not only does the store carry great used kids clothes (many times cheaper than Goodwill), Jackie is an awesome member of the community. She always donates many things to the Allendale Park Earth Day Clean-Up, has fun things for Halloween, and a great piece of neighborhood information/gossip to share. Recently, we were walking by with my son who was loving a pink sequin dress on the sale rack, and Jackie could see how delighted he was by it, that she took it off the sales rack and gave it to him right then and there. We are so lucky to have this gem in our community. read more

What a lovely surprise...needed a nursing bra fitting. Ellen wasn't there when I popped in but Jackie called her and she appeared 5 mins later. Wow, she really knows how to fit a nursing mama for a bra, something that the fancy department stores (I've had nothing but fails with pregnancy and nursing bras from Nordstrom's) seem unable to relate to. She is extremely knowledgable and was so patient (I had my baby with me, who needed to be picked up a few times). She even offered to hold my baby while I was trying bras on. So glad to have this shop in the neighborhood! read more

Fabulous customer service, street parking, clothing & shoe prices, local art & clothing lines, new & used toys, wall decor and store mascot. She also had crib sheet sets, blankets, baby carriers, bath seats, and other accessories at great prices in great shape. Jackie Jackie (Kelly's mom) accepts donations that may not be up to par for consignment but would help local families in need and delivers them personally. As new mom-to-be of twins, I loved my experience at Kelly's Corner. I even got to meet Kelly, an adorable 5 year old. Warning: Jackie's taste is on the adorable, well-taken care of, and high-end brand side at low prices. This is a new shop not-to-be-missed! read more

The sweet shop has recently in my hood, the Dimond. The store is decorated so cute, and even though I don't have kids, I have tons of friends with kids, so I love looking at cute clothes for kids, I definitely don't remember such rocking kids clothes when I was little. This store has new and gently used clothes, toys and shoes for newborns up to age six. It is a great place to purchase a gift for a newborn or birthday present! read more

Kelly's Corner is a fresh and awesome addition to the up & coming Dimond District! Jackie, the owner goes out of her way to accommodate her clients: whether it's keeping your kid busy while you shop to placing a special order for something you want and don't see in the store! The shop is filled with a variety of toys and super cute clothing which I find very reasonably priced. read more

Love this store! This place has so helped my budget! They always seem to have just what I am looking for myself and my kids! Love consigning my boy's used clothing here. The owner is always friendly, helpful and she always takes the time to chat when I stop by. I tell all of my fellow Moms about this place! read more

My kids and I are sure to stop by Kelly's Corner after a morning stroll to nearby Peet's and La Farine. Brands I have found there include: Lelli Kelli, Minnetonka, Oilily, Hurley, and Hartstrings. All clothes/shoes were gently-worn (in some cases brand new) and reasonably-priced. The owner Jackie is friendly and gracious, should you bring in clothes to consign. This cute shop is a wonderful addition to the Dimond menagerie. read more

Just moved to the neighborhood and found a real gem! This store has a perfect mixed of quality new and used clothes and toys for both moms and kids. I was happy to find they also sell quality nursing bras and tanks! The owner was super nice and helpful. I plan to do a lot of shopping here! read more

New Toys, maternal women's cloths, nursing bras, crafty gifts, and other cool stuff. Located across street from Kids and Dance in the Laurel District in sunny Oakland, CA. read more

We are so lucky to have this gem of a store in the Laurel. It's a really great combination of consignment kids clothing, new and used toys, and local artist crafty stuff. Plus Ellen Klima runs a nursing bra fitting business right in the store. The owner and Ellen are both so knowledgeable and helpful... You just tell them what you need and they'll pull it off the shelf. read more

I don't have kids, but I find myself shopping here more and more. I've bought lots of local, handcrafted item like lavender sachets and soaps, and cool educational toys for my friends' kids.
