Yuba Blue is dangerous in the very best way. We walked in just to look and somehow left with arms full of beautiful, special, ridiculously wearable, buttery-soft treasures that basically insisted on coming home with us. This is the kind of store where everything feels a little magical--like, "Oh no... I need this immediately." The whole place smells amazing the second you walk in, which should honestly be considered part of the seduction strategy. It's warm, inviting, gorgeous, and full of the kind of pieces that make you feel like a more fabulous version of yourself the minute you touch them. The help was wonderful--friendly, fun, and easy in that perfect way that makes shopping feel like an adventure instead of a chore. There was laughter, there was humor, there was spontaneous female bonding with other customers over shared admiration of soft things and good taste... basically, the vibes were immaculate. If you love clothes that feel special, a store that smells like heaven, and the kind of shopping experience that turns strangers into co-conspirators, Yuba Blue is absolutely your place. read more

The ultimate one-stop shop! I always make it a point to shop here when I'm in Grass Valley. They have IT ALL. From home decor to shoes to clothing to intimate wear. One room is dedicated to pajamas, nighties, undies, bath salts etc. Another room is just for clothes, shoes & jewelry. And another room is dedicated to all kinds of home stuff...books, candles, mirrors, wind chimes, crystal mobiles, tea towels, bowls, frames - I could go on and on. If you're looking for a gift for someone or treating yourself, do yourself a favor and pop into this fun shop. The gals working here are nice and personable. You won't be able to leave without something. read more

Yuba Blue is located in the Grass Valley town square. They have multiple sections that are broken down in to housewares, clothing and accessories. It's like 3 stores in 1! There are some well priced items like hats, scarves and quirky PJ's and then some pricier bags and clothing. Cute shop in town and part of an array of other locally owned businesses in the square. I enjoy seeing what's around in each season, though I haven't made a purchase yet. Definitely fun to browse. read more

Cutest clothes and shoes, best customer service EVER!! Beautiful home goods, jewelry and lingerie as well!!

Prices here are VERY reasonable! I was able to find some nice soft and warm house slippers at a super price. They have all kinds of cool stuff here and the ladies seem to love it here as they have lots of fantastic dresses and clothing. I would definitely recommend this shop. The staff are very friendly but not pushy which I love. read more

I'm really disappointed with my experience at Yuba Blue. They knowingly sell dresses from the brand Angie, which even their own staff admitted is "quantity over quality." Every single one of the dresses I bought shrank so badly after one gentle wash (literally washed on a gentle cycle, cold water, no heat, dried on delicate) that they're now multiple sizes too small and completely unwearable. When I called to ask about it, the woman on the phone told me that I should have followed the care instructions on the inside tag apparently, even the water temperature can change how much they shrink. Honestly, I think it's ridiculous that clothing at this price point is so cheaply made that it requires that much special treatment just to avoid becoming unwearable. I don't usually spend much money on clothes, but I saved up and splurged on these dresses for myself. Now I feel like I wasted my money on low-quality items that should never have been sold at this price in the first place. Yuba Blue, if you know this brand is such poor quality, why are you still selling it? Customers deserve better. read more

It's impossible to have a good experience with Yuba Blue when I go to shop 20 minutes before closing and the ladies take the racks inside as I'm looking at two dresses I'd taken off the rack to try on. I had the need for a summer dress and I'm a fast shopper. I won't return due to their rudeness. Telling me they'll be open tomorrow. Obviously they'd rather not have my money! They were still open. Why list hours when they aren't truly how long you will ring my purchase up? Poor business behavior by your staff. read more

I like the store but they follow you around at every turn. It's so hard to shop. I saw so many things that I wanted to buy but I was so turned off by the sales girls I walked out. read more

What a wonderful store with everything you might need. They have cozy slippers to wind chimes, buddhas and gorgeous rock works of art. They also have clothing, purses and scarfs. The customer service was outstanding and the quality of goods were of great Quality. This is the kind of place to spend some time browsing and I am sure you will take home a treasure or two. The street parking is a little challenging, but they have a 3 hour limit free. I love Grass Valley and all the unique shops you come across. Yuba Blue is a store that you must come and visit when you are in downtown Grass Valley. read more

Not any more!!! Lived here for 25 years now. Whenever a friend or family member come to Grass valley, I always take them to Yuba Blue. I've spent a lot of money there, especially when mom comes in town. Not any more! Its the little things. The ladies have ALWAYS been friendly, and recognize me. Down to business. Bought my Flojo's flip flops there again, surprised to see they are $ 41.00 now, I told the girl online they were $ 24 but that's ok, I try to buy local. So these came apart in three months. Took them back in. The pleasant young lady behind the counter said she had another lady bring a pair in with the same issue two weeks earlier. A "manager" walked by, 5'7 blond, glasses I think. We briefly discussed this with her and asked if she would return them for another..., she very nastily said, "nope" and very rudely walked on. I'm done!! No more Yuba Blue!!! I owned a firm for 40 years, I would never act like that to anyone. With that attitude alone, they will be another vacant storefront soon!! read more

Was there with my friends and had a blast looking at all the wonderful merchandise! We all found many wonderful items to buy. Some were for gifts, which is always nice to get done! Rose was a sweetheart and helped us out a lot! Oh, and love the gift wrapping!!! read more

Best store in Grass Valley hands down. You'll find something for everyone. Darla was a delight to work with and knew her jeans! Her customer service was amazing and you can truly see her love for what she does. Thank you for an amazing experience! read more

Such a cute and fun shop. Glad we stumbled onto it while exploring Main Street. Mix of fun and functional. Bring your self control. We ended up with earrings, a coffee mug and a toy frog but I could have spent so much more here. read more

I'm a long time local. Shop locally often. In my 60's. The staff in here are not very friendly. They obviously don't trust anyone who walks through their door. They need to stop following and dogging potential customers. It's annoying and off putting. High pressure sales tactics don't work in this county. I could buy , and sale this place! read more

This store has become one of my favorites. Everything you need for a unique gift. Great staff. They greet you when you come in & are helpful. Really good quality of products, priced right. read more

Very cute store but the staff isn't friendly, and they follow you around so closely like you are about to shop lift any second. it really makes the whole experience annoying: let me browse in peace or I won't buy anything for sure!! read more

Fabulous everything! Service was excellent. Selection was fantastic. Prices all reasonable.

I've always loved Yuba Blue but the last 2 times I've gone the staff have been so rude. They follow you around like a hawk and make rude comments. Never have I had this bad of service at any other store in Downtown GV. So disappointed. read more

Nice staff great Selection love this store. Staff is well informed of their products that is so nice to actually get someone who Is informed. read more

I placed an order over the phone in mid April letting buyer know I would be there this past weekend to pick it up. I come from the Bay Area to visit a friend and always visit Yuba Blue about 4 times a year. I received a call about two weeks ago telling me my order was in and I asked her to be sure it was kept in a place where it couldn't be sold. She assured me 100%. No one could find it and the manager would not call the buyer to ask what happened or where it was because it was her day off. The cashier, and a manager assured me that someone would call me yesterday or today to see what happened. No call yesterday and I just called them at 4:30 pm today. Manager very apologetic and said they weren't putting in an order but when they do she'd let me know. In my opinion you put in a special order. I did not suggest that. She should have. She then passed me on to another manager after I said the customer service was poor. This manager said she didn't know what happened apologized again...they usually leave notes/check with each other but no one had. She said she'd send me the order free of charge then backpedaled and quickly said she'd discount it. I told her no thanks I don't want it, poor customer service. I realize people make mistakes but what bothered me most was all of the apologies, assurances and them bending over backwards and as it turned out felt so unauthentic. I loved that store but won't be shopping there anymore. read more

One of my all time favorite stores to find things I need and things I didn't know I needed. Perfect place to find a gift for someone.

I always find something uniquely fun...and the girls are so sweet! It's worth a detour to visit Yuba Blue.

I really like this store! They have recently expanded too, so there is not the same jam packed feeling as before. I totally get what Yelper Debbie I. said about the shoplifting thing. I thought it was all in my head! Yet there was someone "tailing" me the whole time. Kind of annoying. The clothes are very cute, in that boutique-y kind of way. I like the styles here, but it is waaaay beyond my price range. Even the clearance rack. Maybe that's why they have so many shoplifters? ha ha. read more

I'm going to give this business three stars, because I have always loved the atmosphere and the quality of goods. I loved it so much that when I planned this trip from Los Angeles to Grass Valley, I immediately included Yuba Blue on my need to visit list. I am so so sad to say that I went in today to look around and find my next favorite thing from here, and was treated so rudely by one of the girls working here. I was looking at the shoes and a tall, skinny straight haired blonde girl rudely asked me if, and I quote, if she could "get me a size or something". It totally killed my mood for shopping here and honestly made me feel so bad, because I was excited to be here again. It's unfortunate that Yuba Blue employs people who are so inconsiderate and rude. read more

I love this store but, be prepared to spend a lot of money because it is pretty expensive! I have been here a hand full of times with my mom when we browsed they stores in old town Grass Valley. I didn't realize this store is actually pretty big; there are three stores in one. When you walk in, the first section of the store is a boutique with clothing for women with the cutest work clothes ever (think Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blond), delicate clothing like lingerie and shoes are located in the back by the dressing rooms. On the left hand side of Yuba Blue is a beauty shop with all kinds of amazingly delicious smelling bubble baths, bath bombs, hand lotions and lip balms. On the right hand side of the store resembles somewhat of a gift shop that contains items for your kitchen, greeting cards, chocolates and so much more. I found a sweatshirt I fell in love with; it was a ski sweatshirt and I tried it on and my heart fell to the ground when I noticed it cost $80; eek! My mom had me try it on for her and (being the sweet mom that she is), she loved the sweatshirt on me and bought it for me (otherwise, I would not have bought it for myself)! She also bought me some vanilla scented bubble bath ($17) yikes! I love this store and I recommend coming here if you are ever in the area but be careful because you will be tempted to buy almost everything you see and pay a pretty penny for it. read more

Holly yashi earrings are the best! Wow what a nice little shop in downtown Grass Valley. There is so much too look at, I easily spent two hours in this store and came back after lunch. Buying earrings in this store was addictive, there was so much variety and they were all beautiful. They also have a variety of clothing and amazing shoes! I bought a wonderful, cute, green pair of clarks here and have been wearing them at work and I always get compliments on them. I also bought a pair of leather slip on shoes. I saw a US flag scarf that I knew would be a perfect gift for my patriotic friend. Overall I gave this place a lot of business an would be happy to return for more. My relatives who live in Grass Valley love this place and were the ones who introduced me to this wonderful store. They also have lotions, cool nail polish pens, statues, signs, etc. read more

Still my go to shop when visiting Grass Valley. Customer service is always excellent and I'm always greeted upon entering the store and while shopping. Clothes selection is beautiful! read more

They've changed the merchandise layout but this store is still wonderful. My favorite part is the section where they have soaps, lotions and that sort of thing. I got some great gift ideas and saw items I've never seen before! The staff is still friendly, genuinely happy and helpful. I have to congratulate them for being a local business and being around for so long-they're definitely doing something right. read more

I really like the things they sell in this store. It is all cute, unique items. I can almost always find a gift for a friend or family member here. The one thing I HATE about this store is that they always act like you are suspected of shoplifting. I am a middle aged professional woman, I really don't appreciate being made to feel that way in their store. read more

If I could give this store 10 stars I would. It's hard to explain just how great this store is for someone who hasn't been. They have: -beautiful and unique jewelry -awesome clothes, great designers and really good sales -CK bras that always fit me perfectly -funny joke gifts, rubber chicken/giant wine glasses, etc -good books, both recipe and others -great lotions and soaps -beautiful Asian inspired gifts, Buddhas and sake sets...etc -Their purses are awesome, and not expensive -they sell crocs... -wall decorations -pretty much anything you would ever want AMAZING and KNOWLEDGEABLE staff... when I was living in Grass Valley I always wanted to work here, I wish I had!! :) Whenever I am back home, I make a point of going here...and if I ever open a store of my own, I would like this store-owner to be my mentor!!! I can't give her enough praise... read more

I couldn't believe how many different things were sold here. Clothes, bath stuff (including shower curtains), shoes, candles, cook ware, faux flowers, jewelry....the list goes on and on. I picked up a cute pair of earrings. They even had rubbing alcohol for me to try them on first. They accept credit cards but not AmEx. read more

Love this store. Whenever I need a gift for someone I always go here.... .they have a variety of items - their wrapping is cute and snappy and prices aren't bad. Love their books and little gift type items. read more

Ok, not gonna lie, just alittle expensive. lol But, the items i have bought from here have ended up being my favorite pieces of clothing in my closet read more

This store is a local gem. Us Nevada County residents LOVE having Yuba Blue in town. It is THE place to go for gifts, clothing, shoes, and decor. We are lucky to have such a cute, friendly store in our community for all our boutique needs! read more

This store has three sections: bath/body, clothing/shoes, and home accessories. I did not look in the home accessories area much, but it seemed like they had lots of decent knickknacks. We're trying to reduce knickknacks, so I chose to avoid that area. Bath/body - seemed like a nice selection of items, but I didn't get anything. I'm a bit of a lotion hoarder, so I really was not in need of any items like that. Clothing - here's where I differ from some of the reviews. I thought the clothing selection here, while reasonably priced, seemed of lesser quality to me. A bit bohemian (i.e., I could find similar stuff in Berkeley) and....cheap. They do have quite a bit of merchandise, so you could spend a while browsing here. After scanning the racks, I chose to pass over the clothing. I did buy some undergarments. Shoes - pretty decent selection of shoes here. I saw a few pairs I liked, but didn't buy any (also a shoe hoarder). Good mix of comfort shoes and cute shoes. Overall, OK store for browsing. You might find something, you might not. read more

As I mentioned I bought some beautiful soaps for beaucoups bucks. The flowers leached into the soap and discolored them. Now normally, I would not complain about what in my mind was a faulty product, but they blew me off when I let them know I was unhappy with the product. I run a B and B. I use a damn lotta soap. They should have done more and I would be buying more soap from them. read more

Yuba Blue is a gem. Period. The best browsing store in town, no matter who you are and what your interests include! They truly have something unique for practically everyone. Granted, it will probably cost a little more than average store prices, but the quality standard is there to support the price, and they do have a great range of prices. Going into the Christmas season, I will definitely be stopping by there soon to shop for those last few impossible people to shop for, because they always have something unique and fun to give. Even if you find yourself in downtown Grass Valley with just a little time to kill, this store fits the bill. So much fun to just wander through, even if you're not really searching for that special something. To whoever stocks the store, bravo! Great job! You guys have an awesome store! read more

I love the merchandise in Yuba Blue. I get frustrated by the loud music and the sales girls are loud amongst eachother. Not professional.

This is one of the greatest stores in downtown grass valley. Love that they are in a historical building and that they provide very eclectic stuff! They do have steep prices but definately worth the browse if not the purchase. No complaints besides the size but that comes with the history of the building! BUT AWESOME STORE!!!! read more

If your business isn't doing so well and you need an example of what works....Yuba Blue is the BEST example of GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE you'll ever find! Every gal working there is the nicest I've ever seen and soooo helpful!.............oh and they have really cool stuff there! Every time I need a gift for anyone, Yuba Blue is my go to place!! read more
