    So far, this is my favorite plant shop! I love walking around aimlessly, allowing my eyes to wander wherever and whatever catches my eye. The colors alone get me excited, a tingle inside my body, that feeds my creative soul. When I see the different pots and displays, the plants, the terrariums, I'm in my own world and I am in love with it. I can't help but purchase a plant or two or three. The people there are so friendly and helpful, it's just good vibes each time I go there. My most recent visit, I was well intentioned to walk away with a maidenhair fern. I've always admired it at my acupuncturist's place, but never been a fern gal. But I'm in my new era, of plant refinement, not collecting plants, but only selecting those that I cannot be without in my collection. I love my new maidenhair fern! She's ethereal!

    Super cute plant shop right on 4th street! Perfect place to browse for some new plants. They had so many varieties to choose from. The store is two stories and the second story contained all pet friendly plants! The associates are all very friendly and welcoming. Everyone greeted me with friendly smiles and asked if I needed assistance. The store not only sells plants but also supplies and cute decor! A plus is that it is dog friendly too!

    I found this amazing plant store while exploring downtown Berkeley and it was a true find. The studio drew me in from the sidewalk with all of the lush foliage framing the entrance. The whole store is an amazing organized jungle and I loved that the sections with varying light also labeled which plants strive in these light zones. Upstairs, they have a collection of pet sage plants! As a cat owner I really appreciated this. In addition to plants, they have other fun items like claw clips. I found a rainbow trout one which is so unique I had to buy it! The staff were really friendly and nice and even gave some propagations.

    What a wonderful place with gorgeous plants and pots, and gift ideas! The bonus is if you buy a pot and plant, they will pot it for you (tip optional). I also had help on where to place it and what size pot to get to make it fit in my space. I didn't venture upstairs but there are pet friendly plants for sale. Look for Peet's Coffee on 4th Street and it's a few doors down.

    Had to, had to, HAD to update my review because - WOW! Paraíso has expanded to an even bigger location. So happy that they took over the palatial Markethall Foods on 4th street location, not far from their secondary location on 4th. This new location gives the plants (and customers) more room to breathe and, yes, grow. The locations usual selections of pottery and vessels is more comfortably housed even though they no longer have an upstairs space. Paraíso is one of the most beautifully merchandised plant shops in The Bay, makes you wanna just go in and bask in the lush tropical feel. Maria and her team are so informative, helpful and have literally and truly become a cornerstone of 4th street. If you're looking to repot, they got you. Looking to find a new vessel, they got you. Veteran plant parents or newbies- come thru. It's one of the best plant lover spots to go. Prices are great for the selection, and range of options. Ask every plant question imaginable and they can help you. You gotta see this new location.

    This store feels so good. Someone here has a great sense of design. The selection of plants is diverse and exciting. The plants are in such good condition. The staff are kind and helpful. This music is good. The store is queer-owned and so thoughtfully organized. There's even a second floor with all pet-friendly plants!

    Such a cute plant shop in downtown Berkeley! Paraíso Plant Studio has an incredible selection of plants, all neatly sectioned off by type, making it easy to browse. They carry everything from common houseplants to rare finds, so whether you're a beginner or a seasoned plant parent, there's something for you. The shop itself is two stories, giving it a spacious and inviting feel. While the prices are on the higher side, even for more common plants, you can tell they take excellent care of their inventory--every plant looked healthy and well-maintained. The employees were also super helpful and always available to answer any questions I had. If you're in the area and love plants, it's definitely worth a visit!

    Paraíso Plant Studio is a beautiful and well-stocked plant shop. They had colorful pots galore (I was trying to figure out how to get them on my flight back to L.A.)! We were genuinely welcomed in and encouraged to ask questions or seek assistance if needed. Shelves were stocked with many unfamiliar plants and I wanted to stay and talk to them. The upstairs area was another delight with additional plants, pots, and accessories. Each plant appeared lush and well-taken care of. Prices are fair given the fantastic variety and quality of plant offerings.

From the moment I entered the store on 8/3/26, one employee (a white woman with dark hair wearing a CB2 shirt) made me feel completely unwelcome. This lady was full of hate and straight up racist. I was simply shopping for the items I came to purchase and never said a single word to her. Yet throughout my visit, she repeatedly glared at me, rolled her eyes, turned her back every time I got near, and appeared to laugh with another employee while making negative facial expressions in my direction. I will never forget how they both look because the store is small and it was impossible not to notice the repeated behavior. At one point, she loudly said, "Ugh, I want to go home." And turned her back towards me again. I left feeling targeted because of my orientation. Whether CB2 intended it or not, that's how this employee made me and my family feel, and it completely ruined what should have been an ordinary shopping trip. What makes this even more upsetting is that this happened in Berkeley, a city that prides itself on diversity and inclusion. I am a fifth-generation Berkeley resident. I attended Berkeley schools, live here, work here, and have shopped on Fourth Street for years. Never in all my years have I experienced this level of hostility while simply shopping. I have never seen this employee before, and I sincerely hope no one else has to experience what I did. CB2 should take this complaint very seriously. No customer should walk into a store and leave feeling demeaned, unwelcome, or discriminated against because of who they are. I walked into CB2 expecting to shop. I walked out questioning how many other people this employee has made feel the same way. It was appalling, deeply upsetting, and one of the worst retail experiences I've ever had. I will not be returning until CB2 demonstrates that it genuinely takes customer discrimination and employee conduct seriously.

Really cool mix of edgy, organic, and stunning quality across the board. My partner and I have gotten permanent jewelry from them three times. One year & two years later our bracelets have held up so well, no breaks. Sienna, who does their permanent jewelry, is lovely and super attentive to detail. When we went in for our newest bracelets, they kindly cleaned our other ones, as the stones had gotten a little grubby in the past year. They have a wide ranging selection of chain styles and tons of beautiful charms to add on. We were also able to request a particular stone/setting in advance. All of the sales staff are friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable! We have shopped at their original Oakland location during busy hours when they have gracefully been juggling multiple customers and still made the point to check in with us. Their Berkeley space is super open with lots of room for browsing. We tried on a number of rings and they were so helpful in explaining different settings, stone cuts, etc. I wilk be shopping here for years to come!

It feels like a treasure hunt every time…read more Serena & Lily's aesthetic is so appealing to me -- all the rattan, sea grass, whitewashed wood, capiz and shells; beachy, sophisticated, boho. I can't afford the higher priced items even on sale, but I've managed to get a few smaller effects that have added to my coastal decor in my Capitola home in a classy way. I've always had great customer service experiences at this store. When you see a product you like, you've got to pull it off the floor immediately so other covetous patrons can't grab it -- I've had people tell me they want something I'm holding in my hands if I decide not to buy it; the employees graciously hold my picks behind the counter for me. One time I was looking at rugs and an employee pulled up all the images of the rugs I was interested in for me on the website with an iPad since they can't unroll them for you. Another time I was buying a sconce light and the cashier grabbed me a brand new one still in the box to replace the display model. The inventory changes all the time and there's always a good selection with a lot of cool stuff. Occasionally something might be a little dented but mostly the merchandise is in perfect condition and good quality.

But lately, I'm having a hard time understanding who this place is for. The merchandise is secondhand, used as photo samples, damaged, or incomplete, yet the prices don't significantly reflect that. I've recently seen things like a wooden trestle table missing half a trestle, with the piece of wood with actual exposed nails sticking out & simply placed on its table top, priced as though it were lightly discounted. Yes things are marked down, but they are also frequently damaged, and recently, for me, the math ain't mathing. I used to enjoy coming here for some real finds. Not so much any more. Keep in mind, you've got to bring your own truck or hire a task rabbit to get the furniture purchased here to your home. Think all the inconveniences, but fewer and fewer of the deals. I was offered a discount today, of 20 percent, that only started after spending over $500. That's a commitment. To me, it feels like the secondhand goods remain the focus here, but the hunt is not yielding the same treasure.
