Since discovering Amy's shop, it's been our tradition to stop in and check out the selection. I always seem to have luck here, and I get compliments on everything I've purchased. It's refreshing to visit a true boutique; the pieces here are unique, "forever" pieces and are of exquisite quality, mostly being made in Europe, with some Canadian and US items as well. Amy carries brands that are not easily found elsewhere, even in the high-end department stores. Reminds me of my childhood, when many luxury garments were still made in places like Austria, Scotland, Switzerland, and the US...before manufacturing moved to China. Yes, high quality materials + design + construction = high price, but honestly this was the case 35 years ago, too. We were just used to buying fewer items back then and holding on to them for many years. I look forward to my next visit and buying my next forever piece.

Seriously if they weren't tiding up the store ( which had perfectly folded clothes throughout the store), they were greeting customers. I had the pleasure of being assisted by BEN ! He was friendly, informative, helpful and polite. He assisted me with the questions I had and represented Lululemon well ! In a lot of stores you just wonder about and if you have a question, good luck finding someone to help ! This was not the case. Ben was extremely helpful and he wasn't annoyed with my question. Thank you Ben . You deserve it. I hope you are appreciated for your manners, kindness and might I add , style ! Lululemon is pricey but it is also quality clothing. So if you are looking for a special gift ( that's what I went there for), check out the Pop Up Shop it's only there until November ( hopefully it stays longer). As I said above Ben's coworkers that were there during my shopping trip, deserved credit also for being busy with other customers and tiding up when they weren't with other customers. Let's celebrate the people who can make your day Thanks Ben

I went in the morning to buy wax and the guy and girl working there helped me out right away- Then I went back after my beach session the same day and they immediately recognized me with friendly faces, which made me feel less embarrassed about going in the store for the second time. I went in because I hated my cheap wooden skimboard that I got somewhere else and asked for their recommendations for a better one. I couldn't have been any happier because both were extremely helpful and informative. I'm a beginner and the guy especially took his time to explain the differences between boards, which ones were best, tips on skim boarding in general, etc. I really appreciate that kind of chill and nice vibe because most people just try to sell to newbies rather than engage in conversation about a common interest! He ended up going in the back to get me a really nice fiber glass one that he actually was going buy for himself, but let me have it. Thanks!!! Both workers have been skim boarding for a long time and they know what they're talking about! The girl also gave me more tips and recommended beaches for all skill levels for skim boarding. 5 stars for actually caring about a beginner like me and encouraging me to know this sport better! They also repair boards and help install traction pads. Definitely going back for the track pads once I get better and also when I feel like trying out surfing! (They do rentals and lessons, yes)

They never try to swindle or oversell. They will pull apart every shirt in that store for you to try on if you asked them to with a smile. These folks are professional. Is it different than the old "John Farley's", yes of course it is, it's under new ownership. I had not been shopping at J.F. for an incredibly long time, so I was not a yeas-long customer before they closed as many were, but I've had really great experiences at both. J.F. was a bit larger, and seemed to concentrate more on tailored suits and tuxedos than off-the-rack sport wear, outer, and casual, but Farley's still does tailored suits and still uses some of the same manufacturers. This means that if I need to replace a pair of pants on my charcoal suit which I bought at J.F. four or five years ago, I can. they have a lot of variety and carry a wide range of sizes across all of their brands, and they know which brands run small and which run large and will tell you! I'm a big, somewhat strangely proportioned dude, and yet just about every time I go here I manage to find something that I can wear comfortably. I remember on time we were talking about different manufacturers sizing and to prove the point they had me try on a Peter Millar XXL shirt and a Rodd & Gunn XXL. Millar fits me quite well, still a tad snug in the shoulders but fine. The Rodd and Gunn however wouldn't even come close to buttoning, there was about a 3 inch gap between the buttons and the holes! They predicted as much. So if you have a question about a brand, they will know the answer. They also carry 34 Heritage jeans, which are one of the only brand of jeans I wear for general use. The bottom line is that this is a top notch shop with top notch employees. It may not be quite as formal as J.F. and the below reviewer's situation is unfortunate, but when a business closes, gift certificates are no longer valid. It's a risk one takes with buying/giving them. If J.F. had sold the gift certificates after they had planned to close, they should have informed the person buying them that they needed to be used by a certain date and wrote that on the certificate. You can't really expect a store to give away free merchandise because someone sat on a gift for a long time or the former store failed to inform the purchaser of a potential close. I also know for a fact that John Farley informed people of their closing far in advance because every time iId go in to buy something for months before closing I was reminded at check-out.
