Bicycles: prices start kinda high for an entry level Mountain Bike. Customer service: cool and knowledgable. Tip: there is a sale rack for clothing in the back. Many racks.

Most of the items I grabbed were polyester blends that lack the structure and refinement for the price point.

I'm a loyal Athleta customer and have had nothing but good experiences here--until this visit. The…read morestore is usually great and it's a nice job for the employees too: low stress, good music, friendly team, and an upscale neighborhood clientele. One employee, however (a blonde woman with blue eyes), was consistently condescending and disengaged. She initially avoided contact, then made little effort to help, and tried to get her colleagues to pick up the slack. Even when asked, she offered no guidance on products, sizing, pricing, or sales. She also didn't help order online when they didn't have an item. Just said "you can do it on your phone ". When I asked if I had done something to offend her, she said, "No, you're fine," but failed to recognize the clear discomfort in the interaction. No customer service at all. I mean, it's a pretty nice job - why the nasty attitude towards customers? I'm kicking myself for not asking to work with someone else--why put myself through that when I'm a loyal customer? I still ended up purchasing six items, and the rudeness continued through checkout. The attitude came across as entitled and was completely out of place in an otherwise positive store. Plus she was really no help at all.

They also have resale stuff, gently used, and some in store clearance racks, where the deals are over the top. At the SF location they have fabulous store clerks, Paul was so helpful, a natural educator, super kind, he was with me all the way to figure out my needs. He made a wide variety of suggestions for gifts. No snobbery here from any of the staff, as with some high end shops. I will go back time and time again, even though the drive to this shop is 1.5 hours away. I got some good deals as Xmas gifts, and had a wonderful time wandering that part of town for a bite to eat too!

We stopped by to do a little shopping on our way back to the hotel.

All was well in our world.

But it's SF, thinks aren't supposed to be cheaper here. Sure enough. In the sale bin they did. They have plenty of shoes and many different types of sporting goods. Come check them out.

(I regard it as wrong to go a store to check out the prospective purchase, then complete the deal with a rival; that's just me). I am not sure if they guarantee it, but I also have not found much of a difference if any in the cost. I write also to vouch for the quality of REI branded gear. I have not been disappointed. Their stuff is as good as any rivals. They seem to offer it for less as well. The other experience I have had is with returns. They live up to their reputation, which is positive. REI and Nordstrom are better than any other retailer. Their staff must be selected as polite or trained to offer exemplary customer service. Of this type of store, REI is my favorite. This specific venue also seems new, even though it is not.

You'll probably find better shoes down the block at Shoe Palace lol. The service here is hit or miss. Sometimes there are a lot of workers to help but most of the time it's hard to find someone to help you. The best thing is the customization area where you can make a custom hoodie or shirt. Too bad it only says "San Francisco" for their designs. It should have other Bay Area cities but I get it... it's made for tourist. I won't be coming back here anymore.

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. The store had very limited inventory, and…read morethey do not accept returns or exchanges--even within 60 days. We were told by Alex that only Nike online handles returns during that timeframe. I'm attaching a picture of our barcode because we initiated the return online already and he refused to scan the barcode and said we had to return it online. Although clearly it says on the barcode return to store. We've spent thousands at Nike this year, and when we needed an exchange within 45 days due to defective seams, we were directed to handle it online instead. This was during the holidays, which made it especially inconvenient. Customer service was lacking (Alex), and the issue was not handled with care or flexibility. They didn't even try to help.

Invitation only, we have not been here in a while. See…read morepicture for "Year Round Access" for exceptions. Quality/Quantity - Good, I like 2 of their 4 brands here. My favorite brand is Mountain Hardware. Bought two heavy duty ski jackets, one in blue and one in black. I plan to return one after I try it on at home with my other outfits... Because this is an employee store, do not expect to find the latest and greatest. But they are improving with their inventory selection IMO. Fairly consistent business while we were here both days. But then again, we also get to travel on off peak days and times. I would NOT want to come here on weekends. Atmosphere - Must go through security to enter the parking lot. Plenty of parking. Must check in with security to enter the store to shop. Open 7 days a week from 10am or 11am to 8pm. See my picture or Yelp. Very dog friendly; see picture. There were at least 3 customers here today with dogs?!?! Service - These two visits were good. Price - Ski jackets were $350 ish... but with the 40% off and an additional 10% off, I got them for $225 each! Good deal. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1938; thank you for inviting others to join your employee store. I appreciate the additional discounts.

I cannot recommend Carolyn and Go Figure highly enough. When I called to make an appointment to…read moreshop, Carolyn invited me to peruse their website and let her know which pieces I was interested in trying. I did this, and when I arrived all the clothes that had caught my eye were ready and waiting for me to try them on. Trying clothes on at Go Figure was the first time in thirty (yes, 30) years I actually felt comfortable, relaxed, and hopeful while trying on clothes. I was delighted with every aspect of the experience, and went home with more clothes than I had ever purchased in one shopping trip in my life. In addition to being thrilled to actually find clothes that fit me, were comfortable, and I thought looked lovely on me, I was overjoyed to be purchasing used clothing. I prefer to purchase nearly everything second-hand, both for environmental and economical purposes. THANK YOU, Carolyn (and please pass on my thanks to your colleague, whose name I am sadly not recalling at the moment), for the most positive, supportive, encouraging, and productive clothes shopping experience I have had in over three decades. I will definitely be back!
