    Second lob piercing.
    Christina D.

    So happy we found this place on yelp. Close to home and such a cool experience. Typically you see pricing parlors attached to tattoo parlors so I was happy to see this hybrid piercing skate shop. They have this down to a science we came in and were greeted within minutes. Picked what we wanted paid and waited. It was packed for a Sunday. The whole process was 1 hour. And for a pair of Tragus, and 2 pairs of lob piercings the grand total was $270 plus tip so that brought the total to $300. I was a little disappointed that I was rung up for jewelry that they ended up not having in stock. So I had to settle for cheaper jewelry but since I already paid, I had to bring up the fact that it was an $8 difference. The piercer said she could do store credit but it was not initiated when the issue arose. I ended up just leaving after the piercings forfeiting my store credit. I had all 4 of my kids and the younger two were getting antsy so it was whatever at that point. Piercer was super gentle, knowledgeable and informative. Process went very smooth and effortlessly, she made it look easy. Highly recommend this place especially if you have kids. They let my 2 girls pull up their infinite campus and verified what they needed to and it was that simple. Will definitely be back for more piercings in the future.

    I've gotten a bunch of piercings here. The staff is so knowledgeable and friendly! Service is quite fast for piercings. My toddler has recently taken great interest in skateboarding so we were very excited to visit Orbit today! Keanu was amazing at advising the proper size and accompanying parts for Onyx's new board. He professionally assembled Onyx's board and also does fitting for protective gear! Keanu's customer service is top tier and he really makes the whole skate world very inviting, he also directed us to Rob's Skate Academy and we absolutely cannot wait to check it out. There's no doubt we'll be back to Orbit to update Keanu on Onyx's progress (and for more stickers)! There's no better place to get started on your skateboarding journey! 5 stars all around!

    Been here a couple times since my stacked lobes have been on/off irritated, but Alex helped me the last few visits checking up on all of my piercings! She has been extremely gentle and helpful in downsizing, providing new gems, changing out jewelry, and educating me on what jewelry measurements work best!

    Shabon and Sal are the greatest. Called around looking for new wheels for my inline skates and almost gave up before coming across this gem! Shabon even attached my new wheels for me and I received a free shirt from Sal! What a magical experience. The store also has a lot of niche cool items and oils! 100/10 recommend! support local!

    Out of my 24 piercings, I got 21 of my piercings done here at Orbit (since 2022) and honestly I don't trust any other piercing spot other than Orbit. The aesthetics of the shop itself is already enticing but what I appreciate most are the staff who help you out. I've seen this store super busy and they still show the same kindness to their customers when they're not as busy. I also appreciate that you can reach out to staff for advice on your piercings and it shows that they know what they're talking about

    Orbit Skate & Boutique - San Leandro (More Than a Skate Shop, It's Community) Orbit Skate & Boutique is one of those local gems you don't just stumble into--you hear about it, you get curious, and then you realize it's exactly what you've been looking for. Before making the trek from the Peninsula (yes, across the Dumbarton Bridge--commitment), my partner and I had been searching for a reputable skate shop that actually knows their hardware and understands modern setups. I gave the shop a call ahead of time and spoke briefly with Salbon (SP?) apologies if I butchered the name earlier). The conversation was short, but it told me everything I needed to know--knowledgeable, welcoming, and about the culture. That first impression alone had me sliding over to Orbit with confidence. Pulling up, the shop was booming--customers coming in waves every 5-10 minutes for piercings. But even with that energy, the experience never felt rushed. I was greeted by Antonio, who immediately brought enthusiasm and patience to the table. Coming from someone who skated in the early 2000s, it was refreshing to see that the culture is not only alive in San Leandro--but thriving. At first glance, the shop has a unique mix--almost a hybrid between a boutique and a skate shop--but don't let that fool you. Never judge a book by its cover. The knowledge, inventory, and overall experience went far beyond expectations. I came in wanting to build a custom complete, and Antonio walked me through the entire process. We talked decks, trucks, wheels, grip--everything. Independent vs. Thunder Hollows, pop vs. control, street vs. park setups--you name it. We easily spent 45 minutes to an hour dialing it in, and not once did I feel rushed or hit with that gatekeeping energy you sometimes get at other shops. No micro aggression or eye rolls, just good vibes. Final setup: * April Yuto deck * Bones wheels * Thunder Hollow trucks (light, responsive, incredible turn--noticeable immediately in the streets) Antonio's recommendations were spot on. My partner was also looking for skate shoes with better ankle support and comfort, and the selection here was impressive--especially for smaller sizes and women. She landed on the NB Numeric 306 Cup (Jamie Foy), and let's just say... going from Vans to these felt like upgrading from a Honda Civic to a Lamborghini. They were also running a 50% off second pair deal, and the variety--New Balance, Lakai, éS, DC, and more--was deep. As both a sneakerhead and skater, I have to give credit where it's due: Orbit really shows love to all skaters, especially those who are often overlooked in sizing and selection. We ended up spending around $340, and Antonio hooked it up with some extra swag--stickers, laces, and good energy all around. More importantly, it didn't feel transactional. It felt like we were part of something. And that's where Sal deserves his flowers. What he's building at Orbit goes beyond retail. It's about community, culture, and mentorship. Programs that reward students with free gear for hitting GPA goals? That's powerful. That's how you uplift the next generation and reshape the narrative around skateboarding. Skateboarding was never just a hobby--it was always about connection, expression, and community. Orbit embodies that fully. It's a space where knowledge is shared, people are welcomed, and the culture is preserved while still evolving. Unity through community. Orbit isn't just a skate shop--it's a cornerstone in San Leandro. And I'm glad I found it.

    Came in to check out the local brands in tees and it did not disappoint. From skate boards to piercings to smoke shop. This place has it all. Met with Kayleigh and we spoke about piercings. She was so knowledgeable and helpful. I got a tee from Oaklandish and I love it! Also the staff here is unmatched. The friendly service I've gotten in a long time.

    Tons to choose from
    Lore M.

    Parking here is off the main street and can be hard to find. This place has been here forever, this is where I came for my first monroe back in 2006! We came here on a busy Friday night, but service was flowing. The customer service here is excellent! Friendly helpful staff! The guy who first helped us showed us what we were looking for and put our name on the list to have jewelry replacement. Then while browsing another person approached us and asked if we were doing okay. They had tons of jewelry options to choose from and the pricing is great! Kristin who was the one to do our jewelry change approached us when she was ready and she made it quick smooth and easy. I highly recommend this place, not only do they have tons of jewelry but lots of over things like decorations, skate boards and equipment, incense and oils. Tons of cool stuff here.

    Vanessa R.

    I absolutely love it here I've been coming for years whenever I come service is always great especially with the piercer. They always have what I need.

What should have been an exciting and rewarding experience for loyal customers turned into something that felt dishonest, disrespectful, and completely unfair. We arrived at the store at 2:00 AM and stood in the cold for hours, doing exactly what we were supposed to do -- waiting patiently in line and respecting the process. We were the second group of 5 at a time allowed to enter the store, and because of that, we believed our chances were fair. Unfortunately, what we witnessed was shocking. Your employees and management allowed friends and acquaintances to bypass the line, enter the store, grab shoes, and leave without waiting like everyone else. When it was finally our turn to purchase, we were told that the sizes we requested were already sold out. What made the situation even more disturbing was an incident involving a woman who had just arrived, aggressively banging on the door. Security attempted to stop her, but she claimed she "knew the manager" and had shoes being held for her. She and a friend were allowed inside and proceeded to purchase at least four pairs of Jordan 11 Gammas each, in multiple sizes, right in front of customers who had been waiting all night. To stand in the cold for hours, be among the first customers, and then be told there are no shoes -- while watching others walk in and buy multiple pairs -- felt like a slap in the face. It was humiliating and incredibly disrespectful. We are frequent Shoe Palace customers, and this experience has genuinely made us question whether we want to continue supporting a company that allows this type of behavior. Many people in that line were upset and disappointed, and rightfully so. If management and staff intended to operate this way, it should have been done before the store opened, not openly and blatantly in front of loyal customers who followed the rules. What happened was unethical, unprofessional, and damaging to your brand. I sincerely hope corporate leadership takes this complaint seriously and investigates the actions of the staff and management at this location. Customers deserve fairness, transparency, and respect -- especially those who show loyalty and dedication. You also had people in line holding a place for themself and bringing 6 others right before store opened and random people walking around the parking lot up to no good. Security guard James was great but you probably should have had more security with such a big shoe release. We really expected better from Shoe Palace. For future drops like this past weekend do not come to this store you will miss out on the shoe drop.

The parking lot was packed. We were waiting for people to leave to get a spot. When we left there were several spots open in the back right side. If I recall correctly they have bathrooms, but you need the code. The line..... was to the back of the store. Extra long. They had most of the registers open so it kept moving, but it was long. It's always long, not like this. That is one thing I dislike about the store is the lines. They used to have remote checkouts. They would have kiosks throughout the store where you can check out on your own or with the help of an associate, but they don't have that anymore. Selection- We were here looking for clothing for our teenage nephews. We found two tops for one. Lucky and Quicksilver. Both really nice and after opening it on Christmas we learned that he approved. For the other nephew we got him pants. We picked out a nice pair of Addis sweatpants and he really liked it and they actually fit. The size smalls aren't all the same. He's got a tiny waist so it's hard to find him pants. Those Addis ones were the right side and fashionable. There was so much more we could have shopped for, but with the line to the back of the store we had to keep going and get out of there. I really liked there selection of clothing. I still find them pricy at times, but you can find really good deals too. The issue I have is most of the clothing is made for the Rack. They aren't discontinued or discounted regular Nordstroms clothing so you are getting what you pay for. And if you're ok with that then this is the store for you. I've gotten some really nice pieces here and so has my husband. I'd come back, but only when I had more time and it's not during the holiday rush.
