Walking down Park on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, I peeked into what was the back entrance of a…read morecute vintage shop. Really, I thought immediately the place was out of my price range, but a friendly stranger told me I should go look inside, offering that you could do cute date nights and make your own scents here, but then she assured me the place was black owned, and I HAD to at least see what gems were hiding inside. And there were so many! Bath salts you could mix to bring home, an oil scent lab, and all sorts of adorable accessories that caught my eye: lacy socks, perfect for Docs; some earrings at a great price point; and some sunglasses that no one else will be wearing ANYWHERE, for a mere $20! The woman working the store was just so friendly, and told us to cash is Queen in here store, if you know what I mean? But, I've found my favorite place to invest my modest disposable income at when I'm in Alameda. I'll be back to crate an oil scent roller...for $15! That's absurd. And it was sweet the store has my father's name: To Herb With Love. My mom must've been sending me angel messages.

I found some holiday gifts that were really one-of-a-kind. Besides a rotating gallery of artists' goods, it's also a community center offering classes in yoga, sewing, the arts, etc. Plus, they have some really fun events featuring fare by local wineries, restaurants and bands to spice up your shopping experience. Truly an Alameda original!

Super bummed to have to write a bad review for this store. My first experience in there was great a…read moremonth ago and I was hoping to be a regular. I work nearby, and while I usually shop near my home in Oakland, I thought I'd try a new store and support local Alameda businesses. I got a 510 battery which I really liked a lot but lost a week later. So I stopped back in last week to buy a new 510 battery. Just like the first time, he said he was going to give me a special deal, and pay $25 instead of $30. Unfortunately, that battery's threads were faulty so I took it back five minutes later and exchanged it. But again, unfortunately, that battery quit after using it for a few days. I took it back in yesterday to exchange it. Obviously, this brand has some issues, but the owner again told me he was going to give me a great deal and sell me another 510 battery instead of replacing the one that didn't work. We went back-and-forth a little bit, and I left frustrated and with a useless battery. I'll go back to shopping in Oakland at my regular smoke shop since the person running this store cannont be trusted.

They also sell shoes and accessories for the formal wear. They offer a section of casual clothing too.

Looks like this is a great spot to buy a dress for prom, wedding, quinceanera, etc. There's metered street parking out front. They don't have a return policy, but you can apparently exchange within one week.

If you haven't, it's a store with lots of cute discount items from Asia. There are games, toys, plushies, cute stationary, and lots of snacks. There's also household items that are attractive, but I question their durability. There are lots of gadgets that are sometimes hard to resist. This location is very convenient, near lots of food places and stores. There's plenty of parking, and the area is nice. They have self-checkout, as well as someone at the register. It's a nice place to browse and maybe walk out with a new gadget you didn't know you needed.

I stopped by this past…read moreweekend and was impressed by the massive size of both the parking lot and inside of the store. The whole place was clean and organized, and the shelves were stocked full of awesome and unique products on a Saturday morning. I picked up some laceys almond & dark chocolate toffee wafer cookies, sonoma creamery parmesan and cheddar crisps, and keogh's irish potato chips with real irish butter. And after browsing all of the easter-themed goodies, I couldn't resist getting a bag of kitkat bunnies as well. A worker saw my arms full and offered to get me a basket (he ran all the way to the front of the store and back). The care and effort shown was definitely appreciated. Customer service altogether was outstanding. I was greeted with a smile at entry, checked on multiple times by different employees while shopping, and my transaction at the purchase counter was quick and easy, with two employees opening up additional registers as they saw a line forming. I usually have a positive experience at World Market regardless of location, but based on my recent visit the Oakland store is superior in every way!

Cost Plus World Market, Oakland…read more One of my favorite places to shopping has always been Cost Plus World Market, located in the heart of Jack London Square, Oakland. This place always surprises me with new stuff they have in store! Whether I'm looking for furnitures, snacks or new teas from around the world to try, this is the place to be! I was very surprised to find Hello Kitty and Friends, Sanrio and Gudetama here!! I'm super excited to add this to my list! One of my favorite things to find here are Bon- Bon candies, it reminds me of high school days where they did fundraisers every year! Super nostalgic! This location has been here since the late 1990s. This is one of my go-to places where I grab snacks for the movies around the corner. This place is a hidden gem!! Definitely will come back again!!
