I have been shopping at Soma for a few years now both online and in store. I find their quality to…read morebe good and prices reasonable. On my most recent visit I find the two styles I prefer have been discontinued which makes me sad. Still, Soma has a wide variety of sizes and styles to choose from and the staff here are really lovely humans. Located at the edge of Garden City shopping center, parking right in front is limited, but there is one handicapped spot there. If you have bras you are replacing that are 'gently used', they can be donated here for charity. Whether an A or an H, Soma's got you covered. Literally. ;-D

Kate was so helpful! They didn't have my size in the style & color I wanted, so she ordered for me!…read moreSoma has changed their product a lot over the last few years, but has typically been known for quality. I appreciated Kate's assistance finding my size in a new style. My pet peeve is that the straps do not adjustable for the entirety of the strap, they only adjust halfway. When you're short, have a larger cup size and are relatively fit, be sure to get some help to be sure the straps won't slide. Happy to see the AOL is in extra small in more than neutral colors again! Service should be a 5+ star, I am giving a 4 only because the straps annoy me!

Love this swimwear shop! Shopping for quality swimwear online can be difficult and frustrating…read moretrying to find the right fit. Unfortunately many of the "good" swimwear shops in Newport/Middletown have went out of business! As a larger busted gal, being able to shop for quality swimwear in person is the only way! I purchased my first sunset tankini at California East 2 years ago and its my favorite. It has lasted me so long, but it was time to purchase my second for some variety. I went directly back to California East. The owner is so friendly, patient, and helpful. She gave me a number of suits to try on based on my preference. Showed me online additional color options and was able to order my suit as it wasn't in stock. The price can be scary, but it's worth it for a good fitting long lasting quality suit! Stop in and chat and look around! She's great! Thank You California East!

You would think a business who caters to women going through breast cancer would have more patience…read moreand compassion. I made an appointment for a Saturday, arrived on time but was made to wait becasue of all the walk-ins they had. Then why make an appointment? I was there for a compression sleeve and wanted a printed one. The woman threw a brochre at me and said this is an old one so they maynot be making that print anymore. Great customer service right? The woman who was helping me was supposed to "teach" me onhow to put the sleeve on. She walks away and helps another customer. PIck up 2 weeks later I was told they would help me put it on the check the fit. It was the same woman who helped me inatially she did not offer nor did I ask to put it on to check the fit. I figured why bother. I'll order online from now on. This place is resting on its laurels.

Now I have a bra that fits, which is not something I've ever really had, save the sports bras. I actually have a real, regular bra now, and it FITS!!! This was my first time ever being fitted for a bra, but my mom who has been fitted at many places over the years says that places like Victoria's Secret don't have people who really know what they're doing, ESPECIALLY compared to Ruth's Lingerie. 5/5 stars, highly recommend to anyone who wears bras and needs a new one. Additionally, I do have level 1 autism, and the place was sensory-friendly to me at least. The lights were not too bright and the environment was not too loud, and the bra I got is very comfortable (except for the tag but I'll just cut that off lol).

Island Surf & Sport is essentially two different stores in one. You got the surf shop down bottom…read moreand the clothing store up top. The store up top you can find a solid selection and variety from the latest surf and outdoor brands with in-season clothes as well as some of previous seasons items on sale. The Board Room down below you can find a vast choosing of the latest and greatest from shapers and boardmakers. In addition they offer a surf camp and private lessons to those trying to get started. Every time I visit I have found the people working to be helpful and willing to engage in a conversation about what I am looking for or helping me find the right fin for my board. It is important to buy local when shopping for a new board, wetsuit, or leash so the surfing community can continue in areas like Newport/Middletown.

Had an absolutely terrible experience shopping here. Selection for Men's swimsuits was poor, and…read morethere was certainly no "outlet prices." I purchased one swimsuit. Later, I found a better deal elsewhere in the outlets, so decided to return the swimsuit I purchased. THEY DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS!!!!! And you would think that a salesperson would mention this minor detail, but no. Your only warning is small sign BEHIND the cashier that is anything but noticeable. This sign is the only thing that makes it legal in Massachusetts to have no return policy. Instead of mention the return policy, the staff was able to offer rude and condescending comments. I strongly recommend any other store for your swimwear.

The sales woman was so attentive and friendly at this swimwear store (Nicole). She helped me find a…read moregreat bathing suit. She brought me many options and colors and seemed to really enjoy the work she was doing. She was happy to help and was very sociable. It was such a relief to have such attentive care while busily trying to run this errand. It was a great help and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. There are a lot of swimsuit options with many variations in cuts. The sales woman was knowledgable about matching suit styles to body types. If you are in the market for a new bathing suit, try this store out. Be prepared that prices do not seem at all like outlet prices, and you will end up spending well over $100 for one suit, but if it is something you are willing to invest in (knowing you are getting a good quality suit), well worth the trip and money. Side note: Apparently from the other reviewer, you cannot return the suits. I did not notice this policy. It would have been nice to know this at the register (verbally) before I bought it. And I would have completely understood (since it is a bathing suit!), but would have been nice to be told prior to.
