But there are other stores here along with restaurants and coffee shops. Seems like this is more of a place to hang out at to me. They had live music the time I was here. I got lucky and found some street parking, but make sure you feed that meter, the Berkeley meter patrol doesn't play. They are waiting for that meter to expire and they circle this area a lot!!

It's very cute and cozy in the evening/at night, especially after the rain and with those lights. It's not a big street and there's a limited number of shops, but it's nice to take a quick stroll down. I'll be honest, none of the shops here are really from brands or stores I would normally shop at (lol rich people stores), so we really didn't stop by a lot of them and most of them were closing for the evening anyways (I have learned that lots of things in the Bay Area close quite early). There's some street parking and some parking lots but it looked quite packed. Not sure what it's like on a non-rainy day.

I live relatively close to Pt Richmond but I don't really drive out there very often. But my…read morehusband and I decided to make a visit before Christmas (we did the same last year but I never got around to writing a review). Outback is a clothing store which sells very unique clothing designs with original fabrics. I actually shopped at the store back in the 1980s when it was located on Sacramento St near Dwight Way in Berkeley. I bought a coat from them that lstter for years. So this place has been around for decades. (I think at one point they moved to 10th St need Gilman in Berkeley.) I found a beautiful cashmere scarf, for a reasonable price, for my daughter who lives on the East coast. She received it and commented on how soft it was. The saleswoman was super friendly. We had a nice conversation. (A different saleswoman last year was also nice and pleasant.). The clothing can be on the pricey side for my budget. But if you are looking for a piece of clothing that no one else has, this is the place to visit. I really should go back and treat myself!

The 2 young girls looked at me like I had no business to be in the store. They did the bare minimum to help and spent the rest of the time staring at their phones...I was the only person there. Someone should remind the girls they are sales people. So little inventory at this place it was boring and overpriced. Stay away!

When I showed her the sticker price, she said it was their wholesale price, without apologizing for the incorrect or confusing labeling. This response was disrespectful. Customers should not be shown wholesale prices, and products should be clearly marked with the correct retail price and selling terms. Displaying incorrect pricing and dismissing a customer's concern shows a lack of basic business knowledge and poor management. This reflects a business that does not understand how to properly run retail operations.

Diana is that new owner and she's radically different from the previous owner. It's a new day! Its the next generation run by serious fashion maven who knows how to excite, engage with, and dress her customers. Make Shopping Fun Again! I don't know about you but online clothes shopping is not fun. I need to touch and try on, and have an owner get me to try things I've overlooked. Do you constantly moan that there is no where to shop for good clothes any more like I do? Do your mourn the demise of such fashion treasures as Phyllis, and J Foss both which were in Palo Alto? Despondent that the shops which were in neighboring Los Altos are gone baby gone? Are you sobbing because Hayes St in the City now has nothing other than food joints and bars? Are you disgusted by upper Fillmore, Union St, and Chestnut for being taken over by the usual homogenized corporate dreary made in China but expensive junk? Still can't afford MAC on Grove in the City? (me either) Mill Valley is totally pitiful. College Ave is great for a lark, but not when you need to replace outdated or worn clothes. Well jump for joy because the new incarnation of Molly B in the 4th Street area of Berkeley has risen from the dead. Diana the new owner is young bright as a star, and who has impeccable taste and has made this store a destination. I found what I wanted - tip top quality clothes designed by real designers such as NY77 Design but also some good basics in the mix (but not embarrassing cheap frumpy brands with zero style) I used to be a customer but stopped going many many years ago for various reasons, many which are expressed in those dusty old reviews. But after I heard that the ownership changed and that she was wonderful to work with I had to checkout her and the store myself. Diana is a goddess. I'm so very excited to see someone young, who has vision and good manners, who is inclusive to all ages, shapes, and tastes step up into the world of shopping for clothes! We need more like Diana and Molly B to resurrect shopping for clothes.
