VUORI @ LA JOLLA…read more Street parking is available throughout the area, along with parking right out front. Parking is free for two hours, and when I came on a Saturday afternoon, it wasn't packed at all. I really love Vuori. This was actually my first time shopping in-store, even though I've heard so many great things about the brand from friends. My boyfriend and I stopped by while doing some Christmas shopping, and I wanted him to try on a few jackets. I especially loved their fleece jacket, which is around $140. They also have a great selection of shorts, both lined and unlined in colors like green, blue, black, and gray. I'm a big fan of the store's overall aesthetic. The service was great from the moment we walked in, we were immediately greeted, and everything in the store was very organized. The fitting rooms were spacious, and I loved that there was a comfy seating area where I could relax while my boyfriend tried things on. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I ended up spending about $330 and picked up their iconic tote bag, which is really cute. If it's your first time shopping at Vuori, you can sign up on their website to get 20% off, which is a great perk. Overall, I loved my experience at Vuori and would definitely recommend stopping by. It's clearly a popular brand in La Jolla, I see so many people wearing it, and I'll definitely be returning to this location.

This is an absolutely wonderful business for all swim needs including rentals, ownership, and…read moreadvice. The owner Adriana is a remarkable and passionate open water swimming aficionado . The assortment in this small space is fantastic! Plus Adriana's lifelong swim expertise (both as a young competitive pool swimmer and a seasoned ocean swimmer) guarantees that she will understand your needs, advise you on nuance of equipment and brands, and help you get in the water, appropriately equipped. But the real synergy comes from Adriana's galvanizing encouragement and positivity! I am a lifelong runner who is just dipping his landlubber toe (see what I did there?) into swimming as my aging joints mount louder and louder complaints about land exercise. I found myself in LJS&S to rent a wetsuit for a swim race I had foolishly signed up for. A triathlete friend said "You have to go to this store and talk to Adriana", which I did. She helped me rent a wetsuit, dissuaded me from buying one until I tried it out (the sign of a caring merchant for sure) and then encouraged me to go swimming with her group at La Jolla Cove. Long story still long, I now swim with her group and realize there is a whole open water community that I know about because of this magical store and its charismatic proprietor. But whether you want to change your relationship to the aquatic world, or just simply get a new pair of swim goggles for your pool training, this is a place to go! You will NOT be disappointed! Inventory, knowledge, advice, and value; it's all there. It may change your life for the better !! Finally, you will be supporting a true single owner small business in the heart of La Jolla! Multi-win.

That hybrid fitness bike is so worth it especially having my favorite color Rose Red - their color called "Orchid" , bike is so light and fast. I had to buy a kick stand since it doesn't come with the bike and it came loose , so I came today to have it fix and wanting to return the white lucky cat water bottle bike holder since I found the black one somewhere else where it's sold out.

On that note... gotta give that credit to Kelly, who noticed I didn't have one and I told her I brought it up when I bought the bike Wednesday ? She even adjusted my light reflector to a smaller size to fit my handle bars. Didn't question me why I wanted to returned the white cat water bottle holder. (They were sold out of the black cat and found it somewhere else.) I had is the BEST customer service from both of them -Team work makes the dream work and those two need a raise!

I am often at this REI trying to find outdoor gear and supplies…read more I think I have figured out the layout of this place now so I know which sections to head to for my needs. Just also know that all their bike stuff is located in another building, so dont be disappointed. Its cool to have another building just for bikes and bike related gear. This REI also has a lightly used section. I do go and check out whats on offer there, but so far haven't found anything that works. The thing with REI is that you have to want the thing thats carried in the store and nowadays with so many options, REI won't always carry I what I need specifically... Case in point, cavers need specialized equipment as our needs are different than say climbers or canyoneerers. Yes, some things might be shared, but in general, cavers have very special needs. But, today, when I came in here, I did find a quick link I needed so that worked out nicely. I am also a runner and finally decided I need a fanny pack (I hate how the 80s and 90s ruined this item for me), so I also got one that was small enough that would be perfect for my runs. Service is always great here, very friendly and staff always trying to help. I like also that this REI has a community board in the back and I like to check out whats on offer locally. Really wonderful to have this REI here in Kearny Mesa, super convenient and I can go Asian grocery shopping right after! Win win!

Dave, Jim, and the entire team at UC Cyclery welcomed me like family and didn't judge my lack of knowledge at all. They let me test ride both the Tarmac and the Roubaix as much as I wanted, and they provided incredible insights based on my body measurements, riding style, and goals. I never felt pressured or rushed to make a decision and I cannot say enough great things about them. If you are looking for a local bike shop, I highly recommend making this your go-to spot!

I bought a bike today, and every employee that I dealt with was smart, helpful, and attentive. While I was there I watched other customers and their interactions. All good. I moved to San Diego County after 40 years in Palo Alto and was a customer of the legendary Palo Alto Bicycles and Wheelsmith stores. Now that I'm older I don't buy as many bikes or put as many miles on them as I once did, but I know a great bike store when I see one, and UC Cyclery is a great bike store.

Awesome service and forever grateful to Nicolas - you saved our 1 year anniversary! Amazing service - quick clear instructions, very considerate, warned us about any possible problems explained how to row in the kayak as it was our first time and we had a tandem kayak. After he explained us how to put it in the water and not to roll over, we went and did it first try - no problems. We locked the wheels to the wooden fence so that nobody steels them (they are used to transport the kayak easier so that you don't have to carry it in your hands). We saw the sunset and peaked in the cave which was very exciting. Don't go inside the caves if you are renting on your own as the tides can be very unpredictable and you can roll over or hit the rocks - this is also illegal and only allowed during guided tours. Value point is amazing too. For a tandem it's 35$ (39.22$ with tax) and solo is 30$. All the guided tours were 80$+ and I don't really see the point them if you can go with these guys for only 35$. We did a full one hour but I am not sure how long you can usually go we came pretty late before the closing time. If you want to get the guided tours during the winter times the last ones usually depart at 2:30 so make sure you make it in time!

After a quick check of my ID & a confirmation that I wanted cash, the process was complete & I walked out with cash in hand in less than 15 minutes. When I first moved to PB ten years ago, we bought beach cruisers here, as they have an interesting and varied selection of bikes that are well-priced.
