We came here for the Mother's Day tea party. My mom loved the experience and how welcoming the staff was! We got these cute like fans and some pictures/polaroids to take home. I enjoyed all the food offerings and tea flavors they had to offer. It would be a cute bachelorette or girls day activity with your group of friends! We did buy some plants and a cute turtle pot before we left!!! read more

I stumbled upon Pamana Plantas during an afternoon walk down Solano Ave. Such a lovely plant shop and a warm vibe. The owner, Dom is incredible. She is very personable and friendly. I was so happy my friend chose this location for her bridal shower! The Kamayan Tea Party included pastries from AAPI and woman owned bakeries. Everything was absolutely delicious. I loved the apple cinnamon scones, cream and lemon curd. The desserts were delicious as well and not overly sweet. The tea selection included unique flavors like cardamom rose, mango sticky rice, cucumber melon. I liked that the teas were different flavors I haven't tried before (and I drink a lot of tea). The decor was also very unique. I loved the use of banana leaves in the table scape. read more

Filipino inspired tea party for my niece's baby shower held at Panama Plantas. Dom, the owner, shows her love for hosting and plants. The tablescape was beautiful as we dined off banana leaves, drank out of colorful tea cups, and were surrounded by lush greenery. The sandwiches, scones, bibingka bites were all tasty. We had a wide selection of teas to choose from including gulaman tea which tasted like boba. We shopped for plants, coasters, and tea afterwards. We all had an amazing time, and I would definitely recommend this place for your next event! read more

Bought a sage bundle and some stickers as gifts for some friends. The price is on the higher end, but it's comparable to other stores in the area and in other similar areas such as Piedmont/College. Dom, the owner, is very eager to help, and I love the curation of goods her store offers, from stationary to plants to books! Something that struck me about her store was the area she has dedicated to her uncle--we had a short conversation about her uncle and how he influences and inspires her in her current work. Dom's intention shines in the way she carries herself, serves her customers, and in the goods she chooses to sell. I'm not much of a plant mother myself, but in the future, this is the first place I'll pick to buy plants for my loved ones! Bonus--she has adorable bunnies in the store that customers may pet and play with! (": read more

If you are fond of everything plants, this quaint plant shop is one to go visit. There are endless plants to admire and chose from (take those green babies home!) and meet Dom....she's so nice...PLANT VIBES!!! We walked in on a Saturday later after and a tea event ran over. It did not stop us from checking things out. While you're inside, look up! You'll see plants hanging that will just make you smie I took home a couple of plant babies and coasters!! They are the absolute best additions to my office. I don't have a green thumb, but my bestie is definitely a Plant Mom and picking out "beginner" plants was easy here. Thank you, Dom, for your kindness and patience. Easy to find and plenty of street parking. Check out the surrounding stores. It's all about supporting local and small businesses. read more

We went for the tea party at Pamana Plantas. We had a nice time. The lady that runs the shop, Dom is really sweet. The selection of plants they have is amazing and cute little trinkets. We love that the bunny Rica is available for scratching. We had a little bit of disappointment with the tea party though because it's advertise as a Filipino tea party, but really it didn't have that much Filipino food. There was a Ube pudding cheesecake type dessert which was phenomenal and maybe the cream puff was Filipino because it had coconut in it I'm not sure but I just was hoping we're expecting to have like Filipino food, not cream cheese and cucumber sandwich sandwiches or chicken salad sandwich. I wanted an authentic Filipino food experience so that was a disappointment and also they didn't have Filipino drinks, which I thought would've been nice. Not even a Filipino tea just Eleanor Tea (earl grey) and some random tea leaves. It was a really cramped space as she had set up a table with benches and so it wasn't the most comfortable situation, but it was decorated so beautifully. She did such a wonderful job with it down to the pressed flower name tags, which had a really nice touch. I don't know. I just was disappointed because I really wanted to try Filipino food. It is a beautiful place though and the vibe is very positive. I wish Dom all the luck in her future. read more

I first found out about Pamana Plantas on social media a few years ago and loved the visual vibe of the store and wanted to support local, Filipino business owners. The plants there are beautiful, and the owner (Dom) has the friendliest dog and bunny to keep you company during your shopping trip. I've bought a few plants from there over the years, and she usually gives a few tips for your plant before you leave (or a warning if they're more temperamental). Last year, we were going to try to bulk order plants from Pamana Plantas for our wedding, but to our surprise found out that they provide event services! We were able to work with Dom to design centerpieces and an altar for our wedding. We had given her really vague guidelines to what we wanted and some of our color schemes, and she was able to create a mood board and help us pin down our vision. She was so easy to work with and helped us stay in budget by offering multiple solutions at different price points between purchasing and renting. Super recommend working with them if you're looking for more sustainable wedding flower alternatives. read more

The most dainty yet beautiful plant stop I've ever been to. It is a Filipino legacy inspired plant shop which I appreciate so much being a Filipina myself. There were a bunch of photos and trinkets displayed all over the shop that showcase the beauties of the motherland. Plants are sorted by light levels, and you can tell they are all well-taken care of and loved. Bought my first 4" Zz plant here and cannot wait to watch it grow :') They also have plant hangers, stickers, coasters, and a bunch of other plant accessories! & lastly (and most importantly) they have a really cool DIY repotting station outside! I believe it is only $2 to repot into the same size, and gradually goes up if you upsize to a bigger pot. read more

We popped in because we were doing last minute Christmas shopping and wanted to buy a couple of plants for friends and family. Dom was super helpful in assisting us & was very sweet to our pup Josie. Josie even got to say hi to the resident bunny! We ended up getting two plants, two coasters (so cute!) and a planter. Great selection, will definitely be back again. read more

This is a review for Pamana Plantas as a sustainable decor and plant rental vendor for a wedding, though we would also echo all the 5-star reviews about the shop as well! She created our wedding centerpieces, altar, boutonnieres, and bouquets. Dom absolutely blew us away. She held a meeting with us to learn more/help us figure out our vision through discussion and photos. She made a beautiful mood board for us, which also included all the proposed costs for transparency. She was also incredibly flexible when we developed new ideas after our initial meeting, and adjusted the costs accordingly. In addition to being incredibly professional and communicative, she was warm and thoughtful. We were so impressed with her creativity and problem-solving with the ceremony space, and we felt like she truly understood our preferences. She had our full trust. We cannot sing her enough praises. read more

I booked a tea service for me and my family. I had a dozen questions and sent several emails, and they responded to each with helpful info. On the day of, it was a pleasure to have Dom host us. She is friendly, personable and down-to-earth. I wanted my family to have an elegant experience rooted in our Filipino culture, and her hospitality (and showing nuances of Filipino etiquette!) made an impact as much as the beautiful setting. Reserving a private party is not something I can afford often, but they also have twice/month community tea parties that you can join with a friend and is more affordable. The plant shop was closed since it was a weekend, but did a peek inside and the plants selection looked nice and interesting and worth checking out. 10/10 I definitely recommend :) read more

Pamana Plantas has seriously become one of my favorite plant shops in the Bay. Filipino and family-owned, with amazing presentation and great service. Dom is super sweet and so fun to talk to. Their sticker selection is a solid 10/10--so cute. The plants are great quality and absolutely worth the price. The overall presentation of the shop is adorable, and the bunnies and doggo add so much charm to the experience. I've been recommending this store to all my fellow garden gals. read more

This little shop really does pack a ton of amazing plants, gifts, and excellent service. Dom was awesome, friendly, and very kind. From the moment that I walked in, she was welcoming (as well as her pup) and as a small family business and Filipino owned I knew that I needed to visit. Street parking can be difficult but I was fortunate to catch a space up front. The shop is small but has a large variety of plants from common house , to exotic, and collector plants. There was a few Thai Constellations, PPP, White knights, and many more. All the plants were in great condition and well taken care of so no matter what plant you're looking for, I'm sure the quality will be stellar. I was stuck between three heart shaped pothos and Dom was able to bring them all down for me to view. I ended up with a full, luscious pothos, a baby monstera (variegated), and a pink arrowhead. I must admit that although the website doesn't have a fully update list of what's available, I'm sure you'll find something to add to your collection. read more

I like walking around places with a lot of greenery. Pamana Plantas is a small business, and they have a small shop. They pack as much greenery as possible into the space, and so their stock is chosen very carefully, and well cared for. Even when I walk around bigger places with more different plants, I almost never buy anything, because I don't know anything about plants, so usually money spent on plants is wasted. Because it's not like a lot of these places can explain plant care very well. I first went into Pamana Plantas out of curiosity, and explained to the owner that I kill plants. She made suggestions and gave me very simple instructions. Weeks later, my philodendron is doing well. And it's been joined by more plants of different kinds. Honestly most of the time I stop in it's because I'm shopping or running errands and I just want to greet the dog and look at stickers. It's like this tiny green island of calm. So far the fact I accidentally buy plants sometimes while looking at stickers hasn't been a problem. I mean I get stickers too - they're super cute. read more

The BEST plant shop in the East Bay!! Support this local business!! Aside from all the beautiful and healthy plants, there are adorable plant earrings, stickers, pots, and other items that you need to see for yourself! (And buy for yourself!) The variety of plants makes it hard to not walk out with one, especially because prices are so reasonable. I love Dom and everything that this shop embodies. Dom was super kind, informative, and caring. From the aesthetics, to the pure intentions, to the home-y feeling, to the tiniest of details within this entire shop. Pamana plantas is a gorgeous space to be apart of. Can't wait to keep supporting this spot. I might even just come here with no intentions of buying plants/plant related items...I'd come just because I need a breath of fresh air and good vibes. S/O this Filipinx Women owned business! (Even the business card has Sampaguita flowers on it. Love seeing my own culture being represented in spaces like these!) read more

This is a very cute business that is located in Albany. I had walked by it several times and was in too much of a hurry to go inside. However, when I went in, the first thing I noticed was the rich green color of the plants. The shop was small, and it was filled with very happy looking plants. The sun shone into the small space and lit everything up. Then I met the wonderful people who work in this space. They were friendly and very kind. They made me feel like hanging out with them. Their dog just laid there while Dom told me their family story. They provide workshops that are open to the public, like how to take care of your plant babies and how to repot plants. You can also take classes to learn how to make art pieces with your plants. If you don't have the time to repot--they can do it for you. If you don't have a green thumb, you can even rent plants from them. I loved their warm and friendly vibe that they have created. read more

Pamana Plantas is by far my favorite plant store in the Bay Area! Filled with so much love, care, and intention from the shop owner Dom and her family, it's always so pleasant to come by and support. It's a beautiful homage to the Philippines with little trinkets representing the homeland throughout the shop. There is a beautiful and large section of plants whenever I come by, and any of my plant questions are always answered so clearly. I especially love the intention that Pamana Plantas puts in to community events, workshops, and celebrations -- always so fun and joyful to be apart of. So so so happy that places like this exist. read more

A friend and I were strolling down Solano Ave. when we noticed a beautiful plant shop. I stopped to look at the plants in the window then noticed that they were still closed. The shop didn't open for another hour. The owner, Dom, saw us peering through the window and walked over to open the door for us and said we could come in and look around. What owner opens the door an hour early and invites customers to come in and shop? Inside, it was so cute, paying homage to family & culture with family pictures displayed and a beautiful wooden plant display structure built by the owner's dad, and kokedamas made by her mom. You can definitely feel the high vibrations coming out of this shop. Needless to say, we took advantage of being the only ones on the shop. Dom, briefly explained all the current sales and promos, and welcomed our questions while she carried on with her pre-opening business routine. This shop also supports and carries products from local businesses such as jewelry, pots, gift cards, candles, aromatics, etc. Plus, she's a local Bay Area Filipina and we even chatted about the Bay Area old school music scene and the cultural events she would be participating in soon. There were a great variety of plants with prices that were reasonable. They also offer classes in plant care & display, host local bakeries & eateries, and provide events within the community. It's definitely a place you have to stop by whether it's to shop plants or enjoy local community events. read more

The curated selection of plants here is impeccable and the owner, Dom, is so kind. They support nearby small businesses by offering a pop-up space inside their store to share foot traffic, AND a discount if any customers support the pop-up businesses. They asked if I had any questions and immediately assisted me when I asked if there were burro's tails sold alone. They clearly take a lot of pride in being a locally owned AAPI business and I hope they thrive! I look forward to attending the one year anniversary fiesta. read more

I had an awesome time at Pamana Plantas. I've been really into Ficus plants lately and noticed Pamana Plantas' Ficus plants look beautiful and really healthy. They have a great variety, even the rare Ficus Shivereana. After visiting other local nurseries/plant stores I'll be back to buy my Shivereana from Pamana Plantas since this one looked the healthiest/happiest and is the best price. I think this is true for all the plants at Pamana Plantas. The sticker section here is also very good. I purchased a Ficus plant sticker for my girlfriend, and she loves it. It's high quality and elegant with a gold outline. The winter plant advice handout at checkout was a nice cherry on top. Love a business that looks out for its customers. read more

I absolutely ADORE this shop. I first came here to celebrate my birthday with plants and to support a fellow Filipina's small-business shop. What I found was a little haven that fills the soul. The owner, Dom, is an amazing human and she's created a lovely space with touches of home and a large inventory of healthy plants, pots, knick-knacks, and positivity. Best part-- her dog, Hunter, is the sweetest staff member. Highly recommend this shop and check out her pop-ups that she hosts throughout the month. read more

Well, I am afraid I don't have anything new to add except to confirm all the nice things others have already said, but that can well attest to the consistent good care Pamana Plantas gets. The plants are VERY well cared for and on a cold day like today, stepping into the shop was like entering a warm and cozy greenhouse. It was comfortable, with a very friendly big dog (Hunter) and the most friendly, dog-like rabbit I have ever seen who licked my hand. Dominick was really knowledgeable and nice. We had a great time and walked away with a nice little plant. We will be back :-) thank you Dominick for making this such a neighborly spot. I can sense how much care she put into this place. read more
