I was shopping at a Latino-owned plant store in San Jose that recommended this shop. I thought it…read morewas really neat another plant store would share other plant store recommendations and knew I had to check it out. My first visit was at the start of the pandemic. I almost walked right by the store. My kiddo was registered in their plant pals club which offered a plant kit. We didn't continue taking part in the club as the store is far from us but it's a neat program. On my recent visit the store was a tad bit more spacious at the front but towards the register everyone was crowded in a line. I came looking for a specific plant with my kiddos and sister and found it! I also grabbed this cool sticker I found there. I got in line and noticed the owners both up front one completing the purchase and the other providing tips and support on the plants being purchased by each customer. This ended up delaying the line quite a bit. It was so hard to get help so I had to wait till it was my turn to pay to have them grab the plant I needed. The store has a large variety of plants, pots, and stickers/pin/keychains made by locals. The plants are affordable and they focus on having "exotic" plants at affordable prices so everyone can own one. The plants pals club is a cool program for young plant parents. The layout of the store is like a long strip. It can be really crowded if there's too many people inside. It's a really neat store and can improve on having the owners walk around the entire store and check in on their customers.

I went to the San Mateo Plant Sale & Craft Fair event today and saw Ricardo and his plant stand at…read morethe event. Beautiful selection of plants there and I was so sad someone bought the plant that I wanted that I went to the store the same day. Lots of beautiful, healthy plants that are hard to get, at prices that are super fair. No shade to stores like Plant Therapy, but over $35 for a maranta lemon lime is not cool. Nothing like that here. I got my first Alocasia polly (4") for $15, a stromanthe triostar (4") for $15, and a silver monstera (2") for $10. There's also lots of lovely accessories like pots, foldable moss poles, spray bottles, ADORABLE keychains, and tile coasters. All super cute and great prices. I've got my eye on a queen anthurium too... will definitely be back for that :)

They are making a large glass bowl terrarium using requested succulents and crystals! I know it will be easy to keep after the service! The folks here are easy to work with - they do delivery for a small fee. Make great suggestions and open 7 days a week!

I went to their shop on a Monday and Ordered a funeral arrangement /spray for a Friday service at…read morethe church for a total of $360. I chose the Paradise spray as the young man who had passed away really liked Hawaii. I asked the young lady that took the order whether it's large or if I pay more would it be larger and she said all the sprays are the same size and if you pay more, they would just add more flowers but the size would be the same. So, I asked her to charge me more for more flowers $300 and go from there. Told her it's for a young man who has passed away and I want it to be special. After calling someone to make sure they can do this arrangement due to the fact that they were very busy with weddings that weekend, She assured me that it would be done and made special. She even said that they have all the flowers in-season to be able to make this spray. At he church service on Friday I was so EMBARRASSED by the arrangement. It was small and not balanced (maybe it was missing the leaves around it... not sure) but it looked terrible or maybe the florist just didn't take the time to arrange in properly. I think they should not take additional business when they cannot handle it. I know the cost of a funeral spray does not compare to the revenue they get for a wedding but this was important to me and I wanted something special for my loved one. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to take a picture because I did not want anyone associating those flowers with me. After calling the store, a couple of people (Regina and then Mark) called me back and just apologized; At first offering to refund me 50% but then rescinding that offer. Their messages mentioned that I was charged appropriately for the arrangement and they would contact me but I never heard back after leaving my review. There should be better training of their staff when a customer orders so they do not give the wrong information about the size of an arrangement and also, not take on additional business when they cannot handle it. Think twice about ordering a one-off arrangement from here; their focus is only on big-ticket revenue from weddings.

Terra Rubina - Design Ideas for an Exhilarating Outdoor Shower

We did a complete redo of our backyard. It was ugly, falling apart, and not a safe place to walk…read morearound, so we never used it. Juliana's vision is that your backyard should be an extension of your home, another room. Working with Juliana was wonderful. She listened to our ideas and came up with an initial plan that we tweaked a couple times until we had a final design . It is now a space we are drawn to and use often. It truly is an extension of our home. Juliana and Mauricio (who she works with on the hardscape) did a wonderful job in transforming our yard. Communication with her was excellent. She stayed on budget and the only work order changes were a result of our wanting something different from the original plans. She has a great knowledge of plants and design. I would highly recommend her.

Charged $250 just to come to our house and have a conversation. This was not revealed before we…read morehad the conversation, we got the bill after. We did not proceed with developing plans, but the verbal estimate to get the work done was going to be $70-100K. We will be spending $30-50K with a different landscaper. So my perception is that Terra Rubina is very expensive. For the $250 bill, I tried to pay by Venmo. Venmo required last 4 digits of phone number in order to process the payment. I emailed asking for the last 4 digits of their phone number and did not hear back, so I didn't pay. Two weeks later I received a very rude and confrontational email hounding me for payment and threatening a late fee. I have seen back yards done by Terra Rubina. They are beautiful. If you want high quality work, and don't mind being bullied, and you're willing to pay a steep price, then maybe Terra Rubina is for you. They're not for me.

I've been coming to this building for my hardware needs for over 20 years. Regardless of the name…read moreon the wall I've come here because I wanted to support local millbrae business. I've spent THOUSANDS of dollars here over TWENTY PLUS YEARS! I'm a "member " here. Basically they track my spending habits with my phone number. (I guess. Because I've seen no benefit to me from it ). Anyways that ends here and now. I've never been made to feel more unwelcome or unappreciated than I was 45 minutes ago. I work hard. I started my day at 5 am. Midday my trusty Carhartt jacket tore and I spent the rest of my 13.5 hour work day with cold drafts and a plan to come here for a new one. This is after all the same place I'd bought all my other high priced Carhartt gear. Put yourself in my shoes. 5 am start. Off at 6:30pm with a torn jacket. A feeble lunch of whatever it was I had and enough coffee to get me through. Race to the Outdoor supply and walk in the door to be "Greeted" by "You have one minute to shop!' We close at 7!!" (Mutters to coworker. Loud enough for me to hear "I know I know I shoulda locked it !" ). But I look at my watch it's 6:58. So apparently you don't "close at 7" you close a little before that. I'm followed by 2 men that are acting like children telling me "we close soon ! We close soon ! He's closing the register !!" In the MOST WHINY AND PATHETIC way I've ever heard. As I say. "I know I know I was already told. But I NEED A JACKET!" I'm followed to the jackets then I'm told again. "We close soon he's closing the register !!" (Look at my watch. It's 6:59) I find my jacket. It seems to have increased in price nearly double what I remember having paid previously but I'm literally so uncomfortable because I have two grown men and a teenager pacing and acting like they'll all be punished or something terrible will happen in the next 12 seconds. So I quickly find my size jacket. Only to discover that it's literally CHAINED UP!! With a steel cable and padlock ! In MILLBRAE. Not a third world country. Millbrae. Let me be clear. They've chained up the jackets and you can't even try them on!! Then as the three employees pacing around me figure out that they can't annoy me away. They begin to frantically try to unchain my $150 windbreaker while conversing loudly how inconvenient I am and how "he's closing the register !!" (Question ? Does ... like ?? I dunno. A BOMB GO OFF? Does like little Timmy lose a thumb if the register closes at 7:01? ) Cuz by 7:03 as I walk ran to the register in time to see another man shooed out the door with the entire rest of the store staff pacing by the door as If they all need a wee wee and the potty is closed .. the cashier is hurriedly ripping the cash drawer out of the register and trying to leave. Making me wonder what woulda happened if he left my sight ?? Would I have been told in that same whiny tone "sorry. We told you. He. Closed the register .." Seeing me ; his shoulders slump , he turns to the cash drawer and shoves it closed and BEFORE I can even ask "what's the easiest way I can pay and get out of this awkward mess?" He says "card only we're closing ". (Ok. I get that. It's literally all I've heard In the 4 minutes I've been here. ) I (for some reason) give my phone number even tho I already am seething and also oddly feeling guilty like I've somehow ruined 6-7 people's night by being their last customer. I pay and I'm followed out by 2 people. Only hearing my first friendly "thank you " as I walk out. Thinking to myself it felt like "thank you for FINALLY LEAVING !" It was 7:05pm So. I'll say online. Publicly for all to read what I said to her. "I'm sorry I came in .." I mean it. And when I say "I'm sorry. " the man I am means that it won't happen again. So don't worry Outdoor Supply. I won't bother you all again ever with my patronage. I'm sorry.

Initially I was going to go to a local Ace Hardware but soon learned many locations did not have it in stock. As it happened, I was in the area and stopped by OS in Millbrae where they had several baskets of which I selected the 42" which was actually the size that I really needed. Great service by the employee who was working in the paint area as initially I could not locate the item and he provided specific directions.Thank you OS for my $6 purchase.
