I received a Christmas gift card for this shop and was excited to see what was in store. The employee working at the time (brunette) was VERY NICE. She instantly greeted me and my boyfriend and asked if we needed assistance. Later on as I was skimming through the clothes, I asked her if she knew any tops that would go with a skirt I had. She found the PERFECT denim top for me! I wish I got her name, but I'd like to thank No Rest for Bridget for having thoughtful and kind employees! read more

See all

If i could give zero stars I would these girls are the biggest b words ive ever met. I went in and I was like oh cute store I wonder what's inside and to start off zero "Hi welcome in" which already put me in a bad mood I can see why this place hasn't even hit 3 stars these girls make the environment horrible I can't see why anyone would want to spend money here. Would never go back. read more

I have been coming here for years and every single employee is top notch in attitude , kindness and goes love and beyond and customer service like no other retail store I have been to! Umm, let's see : Bella, Paige , Stephanie, Vivian, Claire , Taylor , Laura for starters ! They are the best crew so any negative reviews are from rude customers read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I left a review for OPT too. The only reason I want to leave a review is because I would want to know why NO ONE WANTS TO SHOP HERE if I was the owner. The staff. The staff is the reason. They're rude. They're snarky. They don't make eye contact yet alone give a hello. They're on their phones and sigh when you ask a question. They're judgmental. I asked where their loungewear was and I have a slight accent and one chick goes " UMM OUR WHAT. WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?" While she was on her phone. I will never support this business and I won't be surprised if it tanks. I will never recommend it to friends family. ANYONE. Because of the staff. Business owner: you need to listen to people's reviews before you lose all you worked for. read more

This is one of my absolute favorite clothing, stores of all time!! The quality of their clothing is amazing and last forever. Their jeans are always the right size and stretch for me. I also love their jewelry and they have some cute shoes sometimes. I feel like they are decently priced ranging from $20 - $50 for tops and $40 to $100 about for jeans/pants. read more

If I can give them zero stars I would.The girls in there are so rude and looks like in past reviews It's the same thing for a while now.I don't understand how owner does not want to do anything about it. This is ridiculous. This used to be a store that I love to come to, but today was the final straw for me when no one said hi to me no one asked me what I was shopping for if I needed help or anything else like that I'm spending my hard earned money with you guys. I would think that I would get a hello or ask if I need a dressing room. They were to busy talking and worrying about the personal life's. read more

Very upset! I purchased a super cute pair of black tights with hearts on them to wear to an event tonight. When I got home and opened them, they had a big run in them so I can't wear them. I called the store and let them know the situation and that I was just there less than an hour ago. They said there's nothing they can do. Not even exchange them for a pair without a run..I feel like I threw my money down the drain. Won't be shopping there in the future. read more

Absolutely no customer service, no hello upon arrival. Girls working here just talk to each other and laugh.

Great for tall women and long inseams, very high quality, long lasting and clothing tends to run a little small

Worst customer service ever. I go in about every other week. Not once am I greeted at the door or asked if I need help. I have a vacation planned and wanted new outfits. The girls were so rude and the vibe was off. It ALWAYS IS!!!! I seriously don't know I continue to go in there. I guess I don't really know where else to go. Wish they were more helpful but it's been like this for over a year. NOT ONE PERSON HADS OFFERED TO HELP. read more

Have shopped in Huntington Beach store with no issues. Ordered, online, for my daughter's birthday and had it shipped to her. Called HB store to inquire if gift receipt could be included in case she needed to exchange. Referred to Costa Mesa and gave me a number to call. I called, left message and I still haven't received a call back! Sure enough my daughter went to HB to exchange, not return, just exchange and was told impossible...the item had to be credited to the card used to purchase online. What a mess. Now my daughter has half of her birthday gift and my card hasn't been credited. This is no way to run a business. I will get my credit but I can assure you I will not shop at No Rest for Bridget ever again. Shameful! read more

How does this place stay in business? I walked in there last week and there were three girls working. Not one said hi or even made eye contact with me or anyone. I felt very uncomfortable because it's a very small space. I lasted 5 minutes and walked out. Won't ever be back. read more

This store had been my favorite for a few years. Cute stuff, good quality and okay price. Unfortunately, I will not be shopping here anymore. I stopped by today and the staff is RUDE! I was in the store for about 20 min and both girls walked past me multiple times and not once greeted me, said Hello or approached me. They were more focused talking amongst themselves about their weekend. There was absolutely no one beside me in the store. Not the type of business I'd like to shop from. read more

I agree with all below. I am one who prefers not to be bothered when I'm shopping, but at the same time this one young girl was walking around slamming clothes on to the racks & walked past me didn't say a word to me. There were three associates in there not one person acknowledged me. I was there for 20 minutes so plenty of opportunities. It's a small store. They were helping people in the fitting rooms and seemed nice when I checking people out. But ladies come on... I myself have worked retail for 5 years & everyone should be greeted in a timely fashion. Some cute clothes for sure but I couldn't bring myself to purchase from the store. I actually felt uncomfortable like they wish I never stopped in. Very strange! read more

I normally don't write reviews for clothing stores unless I received horrendous service, but NRFB is an interesting one and I've got time to write a review. Firstly, their clothing isn't in-house-- it's purchased through other vendors, which makes the quality hit or miss, especially in this day and age. A quick inspection of the materials tag on most items reveal that their items are primarily vicose and/or a blend of polyester and cotton, which means that while their clothes have a very luxurious and incredibly soft handfeel, they will turn rough and wrinkly if you don't have the patience to wash on cold & line dry. Some of the vendors they source from are markedly more lax in terms of QC and you'll see a few things like shoddy stitching and loose threads. In other vendors, you'll be pleasantly surprised to notice that they provide a liner in their sheerer pieces (especially dresses), something that even higher priced brands fail to include (and which drives me crazy when they don't.) So in terms of clothing, it's slightly higher quality than F21/American Eagle, obviously more curated, and some of the clothing lines NRFB carries will be higher quality-- look out for those products. I've had two bad run-ins with NRFB clothing (a blouse shrinking beyond wearability even washed cold & a pair of loose flowy pants turning into a wrinkled mess), but now I know what things to purchase from them, so I have a little more faith now. Secondly, the customer service isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. Honestly, it's a matter of personal preference. Some people here like to be waited on hand and foot and it's obvious that they expect that treatment everywhere they go, while others like me absolutely don't mind that the salespeople have their own conversations and would prefer to do my own thing until I go up and ask for help; I hate salespeople who hang over you like an ominous cloud. So take those reviews (and this one in terms of CS) with a grain of salt; I find the sales associates perfectly warm and friendly when you engage with them. read more

First and last time I will shop there. The selection was great but the service is not good. After I had worn a tank top (which I had gotten 3 in different colors) I noticed that there was a flaw on the neckline. I immediately got in the car and went there. One of the salesclerks remembered me since I had spent quite a bit there on Friday and I told her my problem. Her first response was do you have your receipt? I said no but I thought because she had remembered me that it would be no problem. Now she wanted to know if I had the tag from the garment. No I threw it away when I wore it. Sorry due to our POS system you must have the tag. I think the owners should know that it is not good customer service. I'm not one to complain and I said can't you use the tag from another top? NO. DONE!! read more

Shopped at their Fillmore store in SF, the quality of the product was SO POOR - start falling apart one wear and the store didn't offer an exchange or refund. Worst part the customer service was so bad and rude too - will never be shopping here again. read more

Really cute finds in here! The Newport location is bigger but you'll find great things at both! The only reason I gave 4 stars is the quality is not 5 stars. However, the prices are great for what you get. It won't be stuff that lasts forever, but great items you'll get a lot of wear out of making the items affordable. Some of my favorite jackets and lounge wear come from here! read more

I will never shop there. I was 3 days over returning a pair of jeans for a bigger size and they were very rude and wouldn't do it. Tags on it too. Bad customer service. read more

PLEASE DO NO GO TO THIS NRFB IN COSTA MESA, I walked in and felt horrible vibes, girls didn't say hi and honestly it felt like a racist environment. I felt very strange and like they kept watching me, I walked out immediately Go to NRFB in Huntington Beach if you must Such BAD VIBES! Would give 0 stars if I could read more

Love this place! Went in today and Carson was so sweet & helpful! Definitely coming back!

Walk in. 1 other customer roaming the store. 2 girls "working" and never asked, "can I help you" as I walk around the store holding clothing items. No "hello, how are you?" Staff needs to be educated on basic customer service skills. Quality of clothing is average. I ask for a smaller size and the employee looks over at the rack where I got the item from instead of walking over to check for a size. I told her, I already checked the rack. Big help. No thanks. read more

I've been coming to no rest for Bridget for years and the clothes are cute but I can't even believe how rude the girls are that work there it is honestly not worth going in to. I cringed at even checking out giving them my money after how horrible they were to myself and three friends. They do not greet you, make demands at you where to put your clothes instead of asking politely, hold your items at the front while you are still shopping as if we are going to steal the clothes in our little clutches, and treated my one friend who is Hispanic the worst of all which is incredible to me in this day and age how that's even a thing! Just gross behavior will never go back again. read more

Ok, Love love this store for mainly two reasons. 1. Proximity to my casa (walking distance) 2. Cheap clothes, that's cute. And not trashy. I love that I can run in here before my yoga class and/or on my carboholic trips to Shirley's. The staff is meh. They are too consumed with their own little lives and friends to pay attention to shoppers. I mean I know this ain't nordies but at least SOME help. I can't talk too much trash, this last time I went in the girl actually got a size for me!!! I was shocked, maybe she could tell I was in a rush, being in my gym clothes and all. :) read more

No Rest For Bridget - Women's Clothing Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Decent, fairly priced, trendy clothes. Unfortunately the poor attitude and bad vibes from the staff detract from the shopping experience here. Genuine courteous service takes little effort. Giving directions and making comments with negative, rude undertones is completely unnecessary. There are 100 different ways to phrase "put your no items on this rack" or "we only take cash." The staff here left me feeling uncomfortable and I won't be returning. I don't need to be waited on hand and foot but no one should feel like they're intruding or unwanted when you're trying to give a shop your business. read more

If I could give this 0 stars I would. Their clothes are great but I would skip going to this location due to the women who work here. The other locations (Bella Terra) are much nicer when it comes to customer service. I went in with 3 of my girlfriends and the women working here are just so rude. They did not greet us nor help one of my girlfriends when she was struggling in the dressing room. I had to go and help her get another size in her clothes. Both women were expressly rude when it came to any interaction and I felt bad even giving them my money. I ended up buying two items but one of my girlfriends who is Hispanic felt very uncomfortable. I can't imagine how this is an issue in today's day and age. There are ways to say stuff without being rude. It's not what you say it's how you say it!!!! read more

Cute clothing, BUT the young lady who was working around 2:00 on 8/2/22 was VERY short, rude & was not accommodating at all!!! One of the white blazers I was trying on had what looked like makeup on the lapel. I brought it to her attention a few times and she never offered to try & remove it or give a discount. She never offered up a dressing room after offering to other customers & she was more concerned about rearranging the racks, rather than offering any sort of customer service!!! read more

I absolutely love this store I wish you guys would bring back that really soft thin Grey mask you carried like a month ago! I would buy them in every color, and I can't find that mask anywhere. Just wanted to throw that out there in case the owner could order it! read more

As much as I like the clothing and it's a great price range, I absolutely hate going into this store. The customer service is absolutely awful. Every time I walk in, even when I am the only customer in the store and there are multiple employees on the floor, NO ONE ever even greets me. The employees (at least all of the ones that I have encountered over the years) do not smile, they are very rude, make me feel uncomfortable, and do not have professional attitudes. As much as I like the clothing, I'd rather spend my money somewhere that I feel welcome. read more

Low quality clothes that are cute and trendy but overpriced for what it is. Good if your in a pinch and but you can find better for the same price just not in that zip code read more

"No Rest for Patrons" is what is should be called. This do not have a manager conventiently right now so I wasn't about to contact anyone else but the two girls behind the counter, Montana and Paige were very unhelpful and condescending. I had a receipt, trying to return a jacket within the time allowed. Never been worn but the tag was off. These paper tags do fall off. Anyway, they said they "would have" made an exception if the tag had been on which didn't make sense. They said if I didn't have a receipt but had the item with the tag on they may have made an exception. Still makes absolutely no sense at all. Obviously Pagie and Montana could care less about my opinion but I want to write about them anyway. Silly to have no manager and they wouldn't give me the owners information. I would hope you all think twice before going to this shop. read more

Staff is horribly rude. Used to shop there quite often. Just bought 3 dresses and will be returning all due to customer service. Will not support a company that treats its customers badly. read more

O.K...I'm rating two stars for one reason and one reason only: HELLACIOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE. I've shopped here for years, both in this location and in the one on the Peninsula. NRFB is pretty much a Forever 21 but they also stock some higher end candles and things like Butter nail polish. My teen nieces love it here and I've gotten them both a few things that they have loved here. I've also picked up a few things for myself like maxi dresses, scarves and jewelry. The problem in here is with the super unfriendly sales help. Here's the thing: when a customer hands you a credit card, DO NOT hand it back to them by just putting it on the counter! Please show some common courtesy and hand it back to the customer by placing in their hands!. How would YOU like it it a customer handed YOU a credit card and instead of actually placing it in your hands, the customer put it on the counter and made you pick it up off the counter???? Another thing: At the end of the transaction, please ask the customer if she would like the receipt or is it OK to put it in the bag? I always file my receipts in my wallet and I don't want them in the bag. While we are on that subject: when handing the customer her purchase DON'T just say "Here you go"...please say something like...er I don't know...how about something like "THANK YOU"!!!! Geez...I simply cannot believe that the young woman working last night was so utterly clueless about how to treat customers. Customers are the lifeblood of any business and and ANY business lives or dies by REPEAT BUSINESS. NO business wants a customer to walk out the door thinking: "I will NEVER set foot in this store again". Also, when you need to stop what you are doing to ring up a customer don't act like you are being bothered or put out. I realize that you need to put stock back on the floor, but ringing up a PAYING customer is the main reason you have a job. I realize it is the Christmas season and and the sales help in any store at this time of the year is over worked and under paid. How do I know this? Well, I have worked retail in my broke-as-a-joke college student days. I worked retail year round, not just Christmas but I know Christmas is the WORST for a retail worker. They get rude customers, they work long hours and they get paid squat. For these reasons, I am always nice to the retail-hell downtrodden. I'm not a customer from hell prima donna, I just expect a little politeness, respect and common courtesy. To the manager at NRFB: Hold a sales meeting PRONTO! Go over the basics of customer service. Stress the the importance of smiling, being polite, how to return a credit card to a customer, and telling customers "Thank-you, please come again"! If your employees give customers a warm fuzzy feeling, they WILL return again. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I was in with my little sister looking for a graduation/scholorship dress for her last wed. No on greeted us, no one helped us, no one even looked at us. All i heard from the 2 girls working there was a lot of chit chat about another girl they seem not to like and about boys blah blah blah....is this what you get paid for?? Apart from that, they have cute clothes....not so much my style but cute. With that....they are charging $30 for the same stuff you can get at Forever 21 for $10! Never going back, never referring this place, and I hope that one day someone gets pissed off and calls the manager on the chatty Cathy's working there. read more

I had never been in here before, but got their catalog in the mail and liked what I saw (especially the prices). Since I was running errands nearby, I decided to stop in. I asked one of the sales girls if they had a particular item in stock, but she noticed they were out. At least she told me they get new merchandise every Tuesday. I figured I'd call the next week to see if more of that item came in. Since I was already there, I figured I'd take a peek at what else they had. I found a really cute bag that I was going to buy. Note the past tense of that. I brought the bag up to the counter, got my credit card out, and waited....and waited.....and waited..... No, this was not the sales girl who was helpful and attentive to me a few minutes earlier. This one was way too preoccupied with getting a knot out of one of the necklaces they were selling. I figured that my standing there eyeballing her, credit card and item on the counter would have triggered a thought of, "this customer wants me to ring her up!" Sadly, it either didn't compute or she didn't care. After waiting several more minutes and getting no response whatsoever, I put my credit card back in my purse, put the bag back on display and walked out. Where is the common sense and customer service? I hope the manager is ok with losing the immediate sale of a bag over getting a knot out of a necklace. Of course, it goes beyond that -- she just lost a customer (and maybe more due to word of mouth). I absolutely will not frequent a store with bad or non-existent customer service. And, I'm sure the overhead/rent in that particular strip mall location can't be too cheap. Based on my experience (and the experience of others reviewing this store), perhaps management better wake up and find some help that brings in and maintains the customer base. If the current girls aren't working out, there are plenty more who would happily take their place given the current job situation. read more

3.5 stars. 17th street has tons of hidden gems and I pass by this place all of the time. So, I was hoping that this would yet be another gem discovered by me on 17th street. I recently decided to stop by and check out the store. Well, it's not all that amazing. I will admit that the shop has cute accessories. But, the clothes didn't do much for me. I did however buy a blouse that is poorly made. But being that I am nifty with the scissors I had planned to cut it up and tweak it up a bit. I would stop by this store to see what was new in the accessories department but not so much for the clothing. Oh... Regarding pricing.. Some things were a tad over priced. Service.. Wouldn't hurt to greet your customers. read more

For some reason I don't always find a ton of clothes here although I stop in frequently and the store is always stocked with new cute items. Not sure why the stuff doesn't always fit me right. Oh well. Reasonable prices and I actually have found the staff quite helpful. I have bought lots of birthday presents here because they have really cute and cheap accessories. Nice selection of candles and perfumes too. And they gift wrap with cute little bows on the bags. read more

Love this boutique!! What I love the most are the prices... I can walk in with a hundred and leave super happy with several new tops... Prices are comparably good, and the styles are super cute and right up my alley!! The one sad thing is the quality of the jewelry- I got a set of bangles, but they all started to change color pretty quick... :( Another great boutique in the area is Tulum's- (especially for the accessories...) read more

I frequent this clothing joint, splurging on last-minute outfits and irrestible dresses I can't leave the store without. This is your typical, 'cute-for-cheap-one-stop-shop' if you need an outfit and don't want to overspend. I have found some really cute dresses and tops here so far. The only reason they lack 2 extra stars, the sales girls need some work on their customer service. Of all the times I've been here I don't remember being greeted when I walk in or offered help while I am browsing. Usually the girls at the counter are just talking with eachother about personal things. Come here if you are in the 'anti-social-don't-talk-to-me-while-i-shop' mood. read more

I really liked this place, but I'm not ready for a 5-star rating until I go there more often. Although I was able to find a few things, there are just a few of each piece, meaning the small sizes run out quickly. The quality is a little better than Forever. I say this because I've found some incredibly well-made things at Forever, but you have to dig! Here at NRFB, you don't have to dig as well. It's a small shop but it's not overcrowded. They carry BB Dakota, a line found at Nordstrom, but they also carry other lines I've seen at small, inexpensive boutiques. I am definitely going back. It was a really nice location near other cafes and restaurants. Shopping at NRFB can mean a really nice Saturday brunch and a stroll amidst beautiful weather. Pros: -affordable -fashionable pieces -a range of casual to dressy; nothing really trashy Cons: -low number of each item -no customer service of any kind when I visited (not such a big deal) -found extra item somewhere else for a lot less read more
