Always glad to support local businesses and the Bay. I've been a fan of Adapt for years. Live in the South Bay though so I usually just purchase online or at their old South Bay store. Made a venture to their OG retail today since I was up by SF and wanted their duffle back pack. Called first to make sure they were open and the item I wanted to check out was in stock. Picked up the phone promptly. /thumbs up. Pet peeve of mine when businesses just let their phones ring. Arrived on a Saturday around 330pm. Parking wasn't difficult to find. Parked right in front, actually. Their had a lot of their selection cleanly displayed. It is helpful to know what you might like since I don't think they have EVERYTHING displayed out. Great customer service. Got some sweet swag and supported a great local business that support great causes itself. Definite recommendation. read more

I literally live on the same block as adapt. No really, I can walk out of my house and kick a rock at the sign if I felt mischievous enough; but why stoop that low to prove a point? Walking by to work/catch muni, I will find myself peeking in looking at a lot of the shirts/swag(?) that they offer and although most are interesting in terms of design, it simply is just a "meh" for me. From an outsiders perspective, this is hypebeast gear in purest form and something that I just cant get down with: hypebeast 1. Sneakerheads who only rock hyped up shit to get props b/c they got no self worth or sense of style. 2. 50% of NikeTalk members 1. Yo, check out my matching supreme cap, bape hoody, bape jeans, and bape kicks. 2. You f****n hypebeast. Following? Good. That being said, this past week changed my view point a tad. Walking by, as I do, I notice a shirt that said "Sunday Funday" and my heart exploded into happiness as this would be my stagename should I feel strippin' is my lifes calling. As mentioned in other reviews, Sundays are my party days and funday is just that... a fun-day. To add more flare to it, it was a black tee, red lettering, and the "S" and "F" were gold.... Just in time for a Sunday niners game (which later resulted in a loss to the seachickens). The shirt came in just a tab over $30, the material was thick with an adapt logo placed directly on my badonkadonk and service was friendly (I called ahead of time to reserve one as they were closing in 30 minutes and I needed to put pants on). Walked in, said my name, signed an ipad and was on my way. The shirt gained a lot of love and is timeless as Sunday funday will always be a "thing" and the niners will always be my team. Adapt, you're not my usual steeeze but I give you props for the work you have done on this fine day. I guess I can Adapt, afterall, if need be. *slaps knee* read more

I was looking for some 9er gear with more swag and at type than what u can find on basic NFL websites. Came across Adapt online store and saw they had 9er, Giant, and Warrior clothes and gear. I was skeptical at first but decided to purchase a windbreaker jacket. It arrived to me in San Diego in 2 days and I was blown away with the quality of the jacket. The quality and the style are unbelievable. Totally worth the money. This company has great customer support too! I wanted the jacket to come before the Super Bowl and they responded quickly and told me to email them with the confirmation number and they pulled my order and expedited the shipping! Can't say enough good things about Adapt. Will definitely purchase again. Oh ya they also included a free sticker with the order! read more

Of course I would wait till the day before the niner vs Seahawks game to buy my gold blooded tee. The store is right on the corner and easy to spot! Lots of convenient parking as well! Apparently I wasn't the only one who waited till the last minute cause the whole store was packed! Lots of niner fans getting their adapt gear! I was a bit worried they wouldn't have my size but they were fully prepared and had all the sizes Milan and I needed! Hepsie was especially a great help! At first I wasn't sure what style shirt I wanted but she was very patient and gave me her honest opinions. Although the niners lost, I was very satisfied with my adapt purchases! Will be back for more(: read more

I have been sporting Adapt clothing for quite some time now. Even when ordering from their website, customer service was quick and very helpful (I had to do exchanges). Happy that they have a B&M location (although a strange location in the middle of residential Sunset) and customer service in store is nice. They are quick to let you know if they have everything in stock, if you don't see what you want they have a computer set up for you to browse their site. I fully support local and plus this is one of the rare urban brands that make clothing for females. Good job guys! I will continue sporting Adapt on all my trips!! (Coachella, EDC, etc) P.S. I love the Ashley Vee collabs. For those who ever wondered where I get my OH HAI and HELLA KITTY stuff... HERE YA GO! read more

Flew in allllll the way from Hawaii just to hit up the flagship (kinda, sorta). It's not hard finding the place, but parking can be a bit challenging (there seemed to be construction going on at the time). Evan greeted us immediately and welcomed us to the shop. There's a wide selection of urban clothing geared towards the bay. What I really like about the brand is that Adapt caters to it's locals in the Bay Area, and the locals rep it so hard. Anyway, getting back to the store, wide selection. If you can't find a certain item, they have a computer you could use to search it up on their website. They also have several bins of sale items. If the sale item is damaged, they've got little markers to point out where the damage is. Prices are comparable to other street wear products. The guy who was at the shop, Evan, was cool and personable. After ordering online for YEARS, I'm so glad we finally got to stop by the flagship. read more

Adapt makes some pretty spiffy gear for custom-minded Bay Area sports aficionados. The quality of their clothing feels sturdy and strong with crisp printing and original patterns. However, prices are admittedly higher than what you'd pay for a regular t-shirt or beanie, even one at a team propriety store (ex: Giants Dugout). That said, my shopping experience here was excellent compared to that at their pop-up shop inside Serramonte. Despite being the only customer during my time here, the guy that was minding the store was attentive without being overbearing. He was also engaging in small talk, celebrated my eco-friendly behavior (no bag!), and we even had a bonding moment over a song from Tarzan that played while I was inside. Very positive shopping experience overall. read more

Adapt is probably one of my favorite street brands because of its constant release of up-to-date designs for all of my favorite bay area teams. I am originally from south bay, and recently moved to the city, so the selection of Sharks gear as well of Warriors, Niners, and Giants gear really impress me. My all time favorite design is Gold Blooded. I don't know what keeps me coming back, but so far I now have two different colored hoodies with the same Gold Blooded design, one in niners color, and one in warriors colors. The store is very small and clean. Designs are on display, but all of the sizes are in the back. You simply just ask for whatever size you want, and whoever is working will promptly get it for you. Staff here are always so friendly and attentive. Compare to the Serramonte store, the store doesn't get extremely crowded on a daily bases. The downfall is that sometimes the actual store might not have your size, but you can try on sizes to see what fits and later order them online. Clothes here are pretty pricey. But I've had adapt clothing for the past 2 years, and its been one of the better quality of my clothes (even the tanks). I suggest getting hoodies for getting the bang for your buck! Can't wait to see everything Adapt has to offer to the city. read more

Karl is doing it for the BAY. I was introduced to his designs by my girl Abi and I've built up a collection ever since. The company's namesake is true to the inspiration behind many of the designs. That is, that the designs tend to use a play on words or creative use of color to highlight phrases within words, such as the "SF" in State of Mind, or 9empire, or Hella Kitty. It's clever and simple, yet bold. The owner, Karl, is always coming out with new designs. He keeps it fresh. Even 40-water (E-40) is a fan, as can be seen by the canvas photographs hung from Karl's shop on 33rd and Judah St. Ever since I moved to San Diego, Adapt keeps me repping the bay. It makes me feel closer to home. read more

Big ups for having the Hopie Spitshard CD! As for the customer service, meh, I'll just stick to online if I ever cop something again. As a representative of the brand, they need to get rid of the girl with the lashes because she is a reason why I'm turned off from the brand. Granted we came in close to closing time but I'm sure the prompt purchase of two sweatshirts and a tee should have at least quelled that you had to stay a bit longer to put up a smile and deal with us rather than look frustrated that you had to stay 10 minutes beyond while the others were hanging out in the backroom. I appreciate and look at customer service in higher regard. Not to mention I bought some more things that you should've either cancelled the original card transaction and re-ring everything or buckled a bit instead of charging me an extra $5 for a clearance item because you had a minimum and was closing. I had a $10 cash for a $15 item but already had a $200 charge rung up but because of your minimum you charged me $20. Really? For a local brand, that was pretty shitty that had it not been last minute presents for others, I would've just told you to take the whole sale and shove it. read more

Hella fresh! I love Adapt's clothing line because of two main reasons...1.) It's a local brand based here in the city and 2.) their clothes totally represent Bay Area urban culture. Driving by this place, I almost didn't go in, but I'm so glad that I did. The store itself is literally a hole in the wall. With a few t-shirt designs laid out on a table, some hoodies hanging, and other accessories behind a glass case. First impression was "that's it? I'm definitely not gonna find what I'm looking for here today. Should just have ordered off their website." The lone sale associate informed me however, that everything on their website is actually available at their store. Apparently, they keep a huge stock room directly behind the show room floor. Popular designs are either bay area themed, sports themed, or throw back. Being a die hard niner fan, my favorites are their gold blooded and Kaepernick gear. But they also have really cool designs for all Bay Area teams...Giants, Raiders, Warriors, and Sharks. Another couple of my favorite designs are the ones that read "Damn Gina" which is a reference to the sitcom Martin and "93' till Infinity," which pays homage to the old school Souls of Mischief joint, a rap group from Oakland. If you love the bay, and old school sh*t like me, you'll undoutedly find yourself here... read more

I called a week later to let them know what had happened and not only was she willing to put my size aside, she was willing to let me come an hour earlier to accomodate my schedule!

This place is great! It's a really good urban spot for sports and city fans! They have a really good, creative selection of fan gear and city gear. And don't just think that what you see if everything they have, they have plenty more in the back! Just ask! With that, everyone that works here is great. Very nice, helpful, and down to earth! You ask their opinion, they'll give it to you. Right then and there. It's hard to go in here and not leaving without buying something... With that, the only reason they don't get 5 stars is because of price, but really, that isn't too big of a deal. The prices aren't crazy expensive but they're not cheap either. Pretty fair price for great quality. Also, they're supposed to be getting baby clothes soon! I can't wait! read more

Love this store if you are a 49ers fan or Bay area sport team fan. The store is a small boutique style store right on the corner of a SF neighborhood (literally). Shirt sizing is pretty on par and fit great! There was so much more I wanted to buy, but I guess I'll have to wait for my next trip to the Bay. I love their style of representing my favorite football team (49ers) with a unique look. The locals know about this store and they always have some unique design from time to time. Their customer service - top notch and friendly. They allowed me to try on some of the gear even when I wasn't going to buy it this time around. Check out their website, pretty dope stuff!

As a dedicated customer of Adapt, I have to say I've always enjoyed repping their brand. And though I know I can order most of these items online, I do like making the occasional visit to their flagship if I'm ever in the area. This one time, I visited the store a couple days before Christmas. I bought 2 items but wasn't sure about the size of one. Dumbass me chose NOT to get the receipt, thinking I can save a few trees. So the very next day, I called asking the person working if I could still retrieve a gift receipt. And guess what? She was nice enough to hook me up with it and even remembered who I was! How's that for excellent customer service?! Seriously, that was clutch. And that's one reason why I rock their stuff and will keep doing so for years to come. Adapt is a straight up BEAST when it comes to serving the Bay. Thanks Adapt. read more

Adapt has an online store, but since they are only in San Francisco, we decided to visit their store front. It's located on a corner store on Judah and is pretty small. When you walk in, it's a room with shirts folded on tables and hanging on the wall. It's pretty much a showroom and you have to ask one of the workers for sizes because they keep their stock in the back. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty packed in there. There were two workers that day and they were both very professional and polite. I was waiting and the other employee apologized for the wait and explained they were short staffed. I didn't mind because I just saw how busy they were and how many times they had to go back and forth. Regardless of how busy, they both were very attentive and answered all my questions. I ended up getting two of their niner shirts. The quality of the material was nice and thick. The sizes (as the woman explained) are true to size, and I will have to agree. read more

Great simple urban style to rep local teams and cities. Carl provided excellent customer service as I called in with an issue with some shirts and with no hassle he helped me fixed the problem even though we lost our receipt. And we easily spent about $275 in one visit! Although their selection doesn't seem huge but that is because they only display some items in the store front but you go on their computer and pick and choose what you want to see in a virtual "shopping cart" and they bring it out from the back room. Great style and great customer service. Will def come back again!' UPDATE: Unfortunately we forgot the shirts in SJ, so we will have to come back another day to complete this transaction.

Customer service could have been better. Rang the doorbell, girl comes out and opens the door, no smile, just a weak hi. Sits her ass at the desk and just waits. Had a few questions for her and her tone wasn't very friendly. I'm sorry that we bothered to come into the shop. Working in retail, you should always make customers feel welcomed regardless what personal issues you may have going on and what not. Whatever the case, it seems like she has no customer service skills. If it wasn't for my brother wanting a few shirts from this shop, I'd never shop here again or support this brand. read more

From funky, modern cookbooks to cute stuffed animals, purses, youthful and quirky women's clothes, beautiful silk scarves, and feminine jewelry (including real gold earrings!), to lots of fun cards for any occasion (including Jewish holidays, which is important to me!), socks with funny sayings on them, hipster aprons, soaps, candles, fun tchotchkes of all sorts, there's a LOT to delight in inside this wonderful store! I would call it WHEELCHAIR-ACCESSIBLE, because the entry is definitely accessible, and if anything isn't, the employees go out of their way to move things and make it accessible! Their attitudes in general are very friendly and helpful, as is that of the owner (it's a woman-owned store!). Therapy doesn't close until 7:30 pm, which gives you plenty of time to run in for a birthday card and gift after you leave work and are on your way to a friend's birthday party! Overall, Therapy is a fun, quirky, happy-feeling store, and I love that it's managed to survive the last few decades on Valencia St.!

Lots of nice home goods and decor, cute stickers and stationery, and women's clothing.

I also find the prices to be fair for such elegant and comfortable clothing. They often have sale items and buy one get one sales. The shop owner is lovely and both shops are welcoming. Anytime I walk by the stores, which is often because I work and live by the shops, I find myself stopping in and finding another lovely piece. I buy myself things as well as pick up gifts for friends and family. I also bring visitors to the city by to pick up nice things. Great place!!!!

I loved visiting the Baggu store!…read more The layout is bright, fun, and full of colorful, practical items that make it hard to leave empty-handed. The staff is friendly and the variety of bags and accessories is always exciting to browse through. I ended up getting the Black Medium Cargo Crossbody. It can fit a water bottle, my sunglass case, phone, wallet, keys, and more! It's a really good size and I was impressed at how much can fit in it. I also like that it was made our of recycled material. It was around $56, so the price point isn't that bad esp cause I know the quality is good. My only small complaint is that there aren't enough mirrors in the store--it can be tricky to see how a bag looks when you're wearing it. A few more mirrors would make the shopping experience even better. Still, a great store and I'll definitely be back!

I also adore their baby reusables, which are perfect for takeout food. I own several packing cubes and dopp kits--one for skincare and the other for makeup. While Baggu bags are on the pricier side, they're definitely worth it and last a long time. I'd say the prices are comparable to Cath Kidston, Vera Bradley, LeSportsac, and Kipling, but Baggu offers better designs at possibly a lower cost. I recently visited the store for my birthday, which was exciting since I've always purchased online through Facebook, Mercari, Depop, and Poshmark. I'm thrilled with my purchase! The staff were very helpful in applying my 10% off coupon for first-time email subscribers, and they assisted me in selecting the perfect placement for my bag--a detail I really appreciated. If you love Baggu, I highly recommend visiting their store, but be prepared--it's surprisingly small!
