    Sign at entrance. Love this intention!

    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! (":

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Had a wonderful birthday kokedama workshop at Pamana Plantas. Dom was very kind and helpful while guiding us through the workshop. We all had so much fun! I also loved the cozy interior of the shop, filled with beautiful plants and Filipino decor. Would definitely come back!

    Always happy to support small businesses. Small space but perfectly utilized. I can feel the positive energy when coming into the store not to mention knowing I'm getting clean air obviously bc of all the plants! :D Owner along with her fur baby are the most welcoming and kindest! The plant I bought about 8 months ago, well, take a look: thriving. love your plants and it'll love you back! :)

    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.

    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.

    Dom is absolutely amazing. We had a 12 person tea party for our company and we had such a great time here. Dom was super responsive. Any time I had a question, she was quick to answer. Everything not only looked incredible, but the air was so fresh from the plants. Thank you so much for hosting us!

    Beautiful small store, lovely plants, loving vibes, a feel good place. I especially loved the dog and bunnies. Hope one day it expands and we can sit and have tea and look at and smell these exquisitely elegant pieces of nature. Can't wait to return.

    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.

    Super cute!!!

    I absolutely love Paraiso Plant Studio!…read more They are located in the cute part of Berkeley, where there are tons of shops and restaurants. I wandered into the store, mostly on a whim, and I'm so thrilled that I did! The staff is absolutely sweet, helpful, and makes shopping so easy. Did I plan on buying a plant? Not at all. Did I? Absolutely! All of their plants are indoor specific, and they will help you find the perfect plant. Do you need a plant that goes in that spot in your Home or Office? That's full Senh? They've got you covered. Do you need a plant that prefers subtle or little to no lighting in your home or office? They've got you covered. Their plants are beautiful, healthy, and they range in different sizes from the most petite, too much larger sizes. The plant I picked out with help from one of the staff, not only is perfect for the space that I want it for, but because I also purchased a lovely ceramic pot, as a complementary service, they repotted my plant in its new ceramic pot. They do offer repotting for your plants, and it's obvious that they have a ton of repeat customers. The store was becoming busy as I was looking at all the different plants, gifts, etc., and if people weren't purchasing arrangements, or having repotting done, they were purchasing new plants like I was. This is a special place to get lost in, shop in, and fall in love with plants.

Every person I've encountered has been such a gem; they're kind and down to earth. Some of the plants are a bit on the pricey side, but they are all beautiful and well cared for, and you're supporting a small business, so it's worth it. On my last trip, I scored a beautiful Hoya Kerrii for $13.50. It was such a fantastic deal considering how many leaves it has! I also love that they have tiny plants in tiny pots, which makes you feel like you're growing something from scratch, plus they're super cute! I'm not in the East Bay often but will make sure I stop here, next time I'm in the area. Highly recommend!

    The first time I was here, which was last month, I did not find anything that caught my eye, but…read moretwo of my GF's bought a few items at bargain prices. I guess I wasn't feeling it at the time to spend money at a place that looked similar to what one might see in the old TV series, "Sanford & Son" back in the days. However, yesterday I did a returned trip with my two GF's to browse and yes, there were a few items that perked my interest. There is a saying..."what's one man's junk is another man's treasure". Since there is no such thing as a 3.5 star rating for this unique place on Gilman Street where you can buy, sell, trade, and/or consign items, I have decided to go with a three star. There is a big difference in presentation of the items on hand compared to what you see in huge and/or luxurious department stores. Entering the bazaar you can browse and shop with no pressure. Though there is clutter all around, it is to be expected at an outdoor gypsy flea market with an assortment of gently used clothes (sweaters - $9 each or $15 for two), knick/knacks, plates, glasswares, toys (games, stuffed animals, etc.), baskets, ceramic items, even crystal ware. They even carry used books, albums, VHS movie tapes. Some of the items are a little pricey, such as the nice crystal candy jar with lid for $24. (The last time I bought one of those was over 15 years ago and it was $10 at the old Emporium in Downtown Oakland.) At a bazaar, prices on items are negotiable, but you can't do that in a department store. Sometimes the stuffiness of department stores and overbearing sales associates are not my "cup of tea"; thus, I find an outdoor bazaar is somewhat relaxing and soothing as a cup of tea.

But the real problem is the on-staff employee, clearly not the owner. Didn't catch his name before I was so insulted by his behavior that I escorted my mom out and left that cheesy nightmare. He deflected all responsibility and refused to move the rug. I told him to watch out because next time, someone might sue. He promptly accused me of threatening to sue and he "was way too smart to get caught up in that. You be fishing to sue or something." No, actually, I was saying do something proactive before the next injury sustained was more serious. He walked away from me claiming, "Not my problem. I'm not the owner." When I attempted to call the listed phone number to contact the owner, the number does *not* accept incoming calls. Um...all a bit sketchy. So, when shopping at Bazaar Gilman, watch your step and your back...

My prized…read moreJapanese chef knife I've had for decades, that lives carefully dried and wrapped in towel when not in use - nonetheless over the decades, had small imperfections here and there and needed sharpening. Claude AI led me to Hida! Kou educated me about the hand forged knife I had, translated it's inscriptions, and maybe because I had my beloved Japanese Akita with me, invited me to watch the process - it was amazing to see his adroit flow of steps to remove almost invisible fine pits and barely visible rust, straighten a slight bend (and now I know NOT to cut hard winter squash with this fine knife!) and used sequence of fine whet stones and water to finish the polish over a special sink basin that felt like a small pond in a Japanese temple. It is new and happy again! My hand wrought knife restored for just $20, so very worth it - and the drive to Berkeley and the experience and learning in person was priceless. You can't have a knife in more appreciative hands, and your appreciation of your knife will grow too. Yes, they sharpen European knives and all sorts of fine tools too, and sell an amazing array of fine tools and knives too.
