I love Bath and Body Works....but I don't like it's located in Southland Mall...sadly, the place has changed drastically from when I worked in the mall and rarely go these days due to "riff raff" that ruin it for the rest of us. Now now don't get on my case...it is what it is....sad! In any case, this location is organized with friendly staff. Of course always best to visit when they first open to have a better shopping experience. Fortunately, Bath & Body Works was having a sale so bought a bunch of hand soaps, sanitizers as gifts for staff at a care home. My uncle has been there a month and wanted to say thank you for their kind care Great option for gifts! My favorite scent is Champagne Toast or any natural scent like citrus, eucalyptus as it's light, and not overly perfume-y since I tend to be sensitive to strong perfume scents. Guaranteed headache! Kudos to one staff member I'll assume is the manager as she "acted like a boss"...professional, efficient, friendly. She helped me exchange some items today (10/25/25, 11:35 am) and ensured I received my reward points. Thank you read more

It's a decently sized Bath & Body Works located inside a mall. I went during their winter semi-annual sale. Selection was alright, mostly some off season goods from the summer and some things from the Christmas season that didn't sell out. Other than that pickings were a bit slim and the shop itself was in a bit of a disarray, but it was towards the end of the night to be honest. I think my main issue was that it felt like the store had its heat cranked up SUPER hot. I was sweating like a pig and had to take off my sweater and started to feel ill. My boyfriend ended up carrying my purse and I even heard the workers complaining that there was something wrong. It was at least 10 degrees hotter inside the store than it was in the entire mall. Absolutely bizarre. read more

Well stocked Well organized Prices are reasonable and always some sort of promotional sale going on I like the mini hand sanitizer for everyday use and traveling Lines to pay can be long at times read more

This is one of my favorite places to shop. It's small and crowded, but close to where we live. I come here at least once a month for my favorite room sprays and bulbs. It always looks festive and the lines go fast. read more

Clean location Staff is helpful Good selection Things are expensive: make sure you catch a sale! read more

Wow, first time I walked in Bath and Bodyworks and not one greeting. So how are you ready to spend your money and no one greets you? I'm getting my free item and I'm leaving. Very disappointing. read more

COVID - PANDEMIC UPDATE 10/16/20 Welcome back Bath and Body Works, my husband and I missed you. I wanted to thank you guys for the measures you are taking to help keep us safe in the store and safely following COVID Guidelines That being said I called before I went to see if they had Spiced Apple Toddy AND... A sale. So the sale was buy one candle at regular price, get another one for free.... A bargain.....I got 4 total. Got 2 for my husband, Fresh Basalm. Smells like pine! MMM. Takeaways from today's visit *Good sale on candle *Friendly staff, very welcoming of customers coming in, very helpful for customers and their question. *Plexi Glass shields install at all registers, a limit of people going in and outside the store. *Very clean appearance well organized in the store of course this store always was organized so it does not surprise me. Side notes - I walked all the way from Jackson ST to Southland Mall for my candle fix, bonus steps for my Apple Watch. Bad for my feet now which are sore but I will do anything for my Apple Toddy. Just so much fun to come back in here, and follow sales online. read more

Just all around a great business with great products! This Southland Mall location has all the various types of scents that's promoted at their website. Visiting on a Saturday morning initially only for their new Bali Mango Lotion http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/3sOV0EKZuETbx_rf4FDrWg?userid=E8z40nIghchINTwbBpPRiw & walked out with their Buy 3 Get 2 Free special for $40.79 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/3sOV0EKZuETbx_rf4FDrWg?select=rorvPl4_bg_fOLnaEBM32w I don't venture to this location every month, but I have for over several plus years. Always over the top friendly customer service the moment you walk in 'till the time you leave. Maybe it's 'cuz of the friendly energy I put out, I get back...whatever it is, the employee hiring process system works here. Shout out for awesome customer service to my fellow mix-breeds Briana & Antonio! read more

Place clean and organized. Staff was nice friendly and helpful especially Maria. Thanks ladies!

Worst customer service I've ever experienced in any of the bath and body works stores. The store manager Veronica especially, she tired to tell me I couldn't use a coupon when I just saw one of her employees allow one of the customers to use it, and because I couldn't load up the email because the service in that store was so bad and they didn't want to except the screen shot that I had. Plus she wanted the employee to suspend my transaction because I was tryin to load the email and wanted me to go back in line. I never usually write reviews but this one was a must. read more

I really like this B&BW/White Barn location. The Southland Mall location is a lot bigger than NewPark Mall's location and, because of this, it has more inventory and they seem to get more new items before the one at Newark. Today, we had to come here for their annual Candle Sale which is one day only. We went to this location because it opened at 6am while the one at NewPark didn't open until 7am. We definitely dragged ourselves out of bed to get our shop on this morning. I like how they were prepared and had a huge selection of candles out for today. I guess I wasn't the only one who chose to go to this store because the line was a mile long right before the opening and the same for checking out. It was a rainy night and morning but it didn't stop candle lovers in the East Bay from getting their bargains on. I need more patience shopping during the holidays because B&BW have a lot of seasonal temp workers and some of them are not very familiar with the scents and all the items that B&BW carries. It's not easy to rate their employees because your experience can change from day to night depending on who you get but I have always have good experience shopping, exchanging and returning items here. I especially love how they have clear gift bags, boxes, ribbons and tags for free right outside by their products. One Hot Tip: When there's a good deal at their store and they do not have the scent/color/style you like, buy it at the sale price and you can always exchange it for the ones you want after the sale. You do need to have your receipt and the product has to be unused and in perfect condition. B&BW is notorious for having a huge sale and then putting the new collection out a few days later, right after the sale.Also, the cashiers usually ask for your e-mail address when you shop and if you want to get awesome coupons in your inbox, it's best to give them your contact info. This B&BW is located close to the Food Court right across from Victoria's Secret/PINK. read more

Wonderful staff, Rose helped me out and they showed me around & gave me their opinion on candles and i loved their recommendations and bought a few candles they suggested. Thank you so much Rose. read more

I went here with my brother sometime around Christmas and recieved great service. The lady that helped us was very friendly and knowledgeable about the products. Though I was rung up with a couple items comign out as regular price rather than the 75% off price they were suppose to be, I caught the mistake while I was still at the counter and the lady quickly took care of the problem refunding the difference to me. I was actually very impressed with the service I got. Working in customer service myself I know how strenuous it can be to be the only one on the floor helping numerous customers with a smile on my face. Especially during Christmas! The woman that helped me is very good at her job, and for all that she did I give this Bath & Body Works 5 stars. Probably the best service I have ever had in my life. read more

I went in earlier today to find a hand cream that i forgot the name of but Gemma ( i think is her name ) literally went above and beyond to help me find it by bringing me all the scents similar to the one i was describing until we actually found out. So shoutout to you Gemma! Probably the best customer service I've ever had :) read more

I was looking for Halloween hand sanitizers so I called first. The lady over the phone. I think store manger was so helpful. She had placed them aside for me. Upon arrival excellent customer service for all staff. The store is very clean and well organized. read more

Love this store. I always end up spending more money than I intended. The staff are very friendly and professional and my day always feels so much better after my visit. It is the best store hands down in Florida. read more

-2 stars for Lack of staff; sometimes feels like a ghost store. A fully product-stocked store but often with the one employee in the back room or behind the counter. When there are salespeople on the floor, they're always courteous and inviting. Ideally I think you need one person at the register and two on the floor. Good selection and they seem to have the same promos other stores have. Wait till they have their Buy 3, Get 3 Free promos. And take advantage of promos like the one they're having now (May 2012) where when ordering online, if you make a $40 purchase, when you pay another $20 you get a gift bag full of fragrance items ($100 value). They have similar specials around Black Friday and Christmas. I'd put price range at 2-3 $s. Mall Parking. read more

I went with my friend today in search of holiday gifts and the girl in front, I believe her name was Sam was really helpful and nice she really made the shopping experience there easier because of her excellent customer service and showed me all great deals there which was awesome ! read more

Very helpful and friendly customer service reps. The store is clean and organized and has a lot of different deals, including items at 50% off. Why pay for things at full price? That's just silly. I bought the med-sized Turquoise Waters candles with three wicks for even burning and a strawberry lemon liquid hand soap to replace the winter cranberry one I received for Christmas awhile ago. I noticed they still have the Endless Summer line I got as a gift last year. And you got a coupon with your purchase. Can't go wrong with this place. read more

I went there for Chritmas shopping the other day and the workers there were very helpful. I was looking for very specific candles for their scent and one of the workers brought me candles to see if I liked them after what I told him I was looking for. It was awesome! Then when I was checking out I had this really nice girl and she was pretty funny. Thanks for the great experience guys! read more

So they had a deal on soap 6 bottles for 20 bucks. They charged me for 7 items and the cashier kept the extra bottle I picked out. So instead of paying 20 for 6 I payed 23 and change. WTF it's a lousy 3 bucks so not worth it to go back but still if I pay for 7 items. I expect 7 items. read more

I was just in there last week and during Christmas time and their staff really know what they're talking about! The staff always greets people when they're coming through the door, they ask if we need help and they always let us know what kind of deals they have going on! The store is also really clean & neat store. read more

Love this store! I come hre quite often forbtheir personal hand sanitizers and the people here are always eager to greet you when you come in and will check in on you periodically to see if you need any help, whether it be a recommendation, about a sale, or simply requesting a basket, they always do their best to make sure you dont leave with any unanswered questions. read more

All the sales associates at this location are fabulous! I am a frequent customer and they always treat me like an old friend. The customer service is excellent. Kudos for hiring all the staff at this location. read more

I like it here, especially when I get the coupons in the mail to get either free stuff of discounts on stuff. And it always smells good in the store. No complaints! read more

Love coming here great product very organized and clean the employees are kind of annoying asking me multiple times if I need help and starting small talk as if it's in there job description to build rapport like I'm just here to shop and get out no need for all that I'll let Yu know if I need help. read more

LOVE THE PRODUCTS!!!! The Ladies/Gents that works here are incredibly friendly and helpful. They help find products or recommendations of new products. This is my favorite Bath and Body Works. read more

My daughter and wife is their fans and I have purchased more than $2000 worth products in the past 3 years. One of the worse terrible service from franchise stores. I bought 2 items a month ago with my visa gift card and trying to return it in a week but encountering nightmare thereafter. Since I have threw away my gift card after I emptied it, so I request not to refund to the card and problem arise. They didn't know what to do but called their CSC and took them 20 mins but problem still can't be solved. First, employee Marissa said will call me back later the day but failed. Two days later CSC called and said is weekend and should get back to me after the weekend but no call received at all. So I have to call the shop back l4 days later to get update but failed to reach Marissa but spoke to one of the shop managers named Octavio and he also said will call me back in 5 days. Of course, no one contact me again as promise and I call again today, Octavio then inform me that now CSC will take over the case and told him will follow up with me but of course is another empty promise. So u request to just take the product back but he said NO. He suggested me to contact their CSC directly. At the end I asked if they can mail me back my receipt and surprising he said NO again and the only option I have is to pick up from his shop in Southland. Ridiculous and so disappointed. Case still yet close and now they hold the product and my money. read more

The store manager veronica with the green hair and septum piercing was very rude seems like she hates her job and has no customer service skills, every time I go to a bath and body works I always give a code to use my coupon and she made it a huge deal to find a bar code when previous employees had the code already she was just lazy and did not want to look for the one they just used 5 mins before then she was holding up the line she should not be working in the front when she looks pissed off send her ass in the back to stock, everyone else was so nice and helpful but this women I don't know how she is a manager I will never come back to Southland mall I all stick to the San Leandro marina one I already sent a complaint to cooperate also, I also just left another bath and body works location I let them know the situation and they also said she could have given me the discount she's the manager and that veronica was being difficult and complicated I have never felt so uncomfortable in my life but I knew for a fact veronica was doing that because she was in a bad mood i also worked there before so I know also read more

I haven't been in this store in a while and I went today to get my grandma some bubble bath. An associate by the name of Zach was so nice and very helpful. He made my shopping experience faster and so pleasant. Once I got to the register the cashier was the same way. I will be returning in the future! read more

The bath and body works at southland mall has nice and helpful people willing to assist you with your purchase. I'm quite happy with their aromatherapy products, especially "energy" it's some concoction of orange and ginger scents. They have shampoos, conditioners, body wash, etc. The one turn off is the coupon and discount structure. I recommend that you get that squared away before you walk in, otherwise you can't get any better deal... luckily I was able to find a coupon code with my cell phone while still in the store; it wasn't that difficult to find -- in less than 2 minutes I found a $10 off of you spend $30. Yes, 1/3 off.... now you'd think they can improve the shopping experience and encourage sales better without all that hoop jumping. Not to mention stress... Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the sales staff, they are all wonderful and following store policy. read more
