A couple of weekends ago I, a mixed-race Black woman, went into the shop while wearing casual clothes. The employee that day asked me several times if I needed help, when I clearly didn't, and seemed to be hovering hear me as I went through the store. Their attitude was very suspicious of me, and made me extremely uncomfortable. I left when I could no longer stand the type of attention being paid to me. The other time I've been in this shop recently, I was with a white friend who was dressed quite well, and we were left to our own devices. read more

I always stop here when I visit Eureka. I love their merchandise with a caveat. I need to buy natural materials due to allergies especially to chemicals and yet all their natural high quality Aran wool are drenched with fragrances. Why? I can buy chemically crap anywhere. Please put these away from entrance and fitting rooms in a closed glass cabinet. They can be prominent without ruining the beauty of natural clean materials. I would love and appreciate seeing such a change. read more

Cool little Irish/Celtic shop! Lots of nice clothing, some jewelry. No Kilts though! #CiarasIrishShop read more

See all

Right now some 3,000 miles from here there's a lady riding a small John Deere tractor over a lawn around a house on top of a hill in the middle of what once was the dairy capitol of the northeast. And right now, in a shopping bag under a bench a few steps inside my front door in Oakland is a beautiful sweater from the Irish Shop, procured for aforementioned tractor-rider week before last during my visit to this fine little town lost but not forgotten near the top of this silly state of ours. I hadn't planned on leaving with a sweater. I had planned just on going inside and seeing what was what in this place I had passed over the years wondering briefly of its contents and other things. But once inside with the Gaelic crosses and toffee and wool from the North Sea and the nice shopkeeper that was five inches shorter without her shoes, inside I got to thinking of the trips I've made to the Emerald Isle with my mother the tractor-rider, the Scots-Irish lass who can't sing you Danny Boy without crying. And then there was this sweater. And it was really, really beautiful. And in a few weeks it will be her birthday. And then the rest all seemed to happen so naturally. Please, you must keep this to yourself. She'd feign surprise when the postman arrived even if you did tell her but I'd so much prefer that it be an all the way surprise. And if one day you're at a bit of a loss for how maybe to show your love and appreciation for the woman who made all this possible, make for yourself a long weekend and head up the coast. There's something here for her, I promise you. And it matters not from whence you hail, lovey. As there's a little Irish in all of us. read more

Thank you Cece for your help! We love everything we've bought from you. Good quality items for a really good price. I'm so happy we found your shop and have already recommended your online store to friends. read more

I've never met a more disrespectful store owner. My husband went in here when they we're hiring recently. The blonde older lady (can't remember her name) was so unprofessional, and she told my husband he needn't apply until he changed his clothes and came back another time. He was dressed nicely in black shirt and pants, so what was the issue? She told him that he needs to dress much nicer for this job and held up her necklace for him to see. I'm shocked at how rude these people are. Take your money elsewhere. They're not even Irish! You'd have better luck buying something online. read more

Variety of stylish and high quality clothes from Ireland made me thrilled as soon as I walked into this store. Beautiful color of materials, not limit to Irish green, but elegant purple, sapphire blue, bordeaux, to name a fews. I still wore a beautiful cloak I purchased decades ago from this shop and receive lots of compliments. Timeless beauty and quality is what made me an Irish lover. read more

This is the kind of store you'd expect to find on Grafton Street in Dublin, not in Eureka, CA. I found an Irish wool flat cap that is as good as any you'd find in Ireland, and it was reasonably priced. The quality and style of the clothing is top-tier, so it's expensive, but not over-priced. The woolen goods are so soft - not scratchy. The service was friendly and professional. I'm very happy with my purchase, and highly recommend Ciara's. read more

Fantastic place! I'm Irish and Scottish, and I always find cool things to represent both places. I love the perfume selection, and the employees are always super helpful. read more

This shop has been around over 25 years (since I was a student at HSU) and they have an outstanding collection of clothes (mostly for women, but some for men). It's not all (or even mostly) from Ireland. They get clothes from throughout Europe. I took my wife there and she's ready to make the 5 1/2 hour trip back the next time they have a sale. read more

I was traveling through Eureka and decided to take a walk in Old Town Eureka. I discovered a beautiful shop with quality sweaters---Dale of Norway, Blue Willi's. I am plus sized woman ( size 18) and the store had some lovely choices in my size with great style---I purchased an Nua Irish sweater in a deep rose color that I cannot wait to wear when the weather turns cooler on the San Francisco peninsula. The sweaters are quality products that you will wear for a long time. read more

I love this place! I definitely did not get any of the snooty attitude (and trust me I looked like crap going in). Bought my boyfriend a sweater from there and he absolutely loved it! They even offered to gift wrap free of charge. He won't take the dang thing off! I'm so glad that a place in Eureka sells real quality wool sweater. The sweater was not too thick, and definitely not that scratchy low grade material either. Way worth the cost! Would most definitely go back, and maybe this time I'll buy myself a sweater! read more

Pretty clothes, but snooty employees. Unless you look like you a million bucks, they don't treat you very good. The owner is nice, but her employees are rude, snobby, and prejudice against the middle class. read more

This store is fantastic. Not only is the staff incredibly sweet and helpful, but I came in with my 9 month-old baby looking like a tornado hit us, and was treated with the same respect as if I walked in with a briefcase and some Kate Spades. I was so impressed by the quality of the merchandise, and the overall design of the store, we will definitely be back and I LOVE the top I found. I am 28 years old, and I would definitely call myself fashion savvy, and I think this shop is just GREAT! Thank you for being a classy and beautiful locally owned business! read more

I purchased a beautiful sgian dubh for my fiance and a queiach for our wedding from here. Very helpful and lovely service. I used lay away on both items in August and picked them up in mid November with no trouble at all. We strive to buy local and are so happy to have this shop nearby. read more

My family and I went in there this afternoon to find a Christmas gift. It wasn't busy at all and we weren't acknowledged at all. But as we were walking out a couple walked in and were greeted right away. Apparently you need to look like a 1% to shop there. Money is money. We always encourage shopping local, but I can't recommend shopping here. Unless you're from Bel-Air. read more

Two visits. Once helped by courteous welcoming staff (Eileen) and the next day with owner - Ciara. Both days we were impressed with the HIGH quality of the European clothing - lots more than Ireland. Cannot wait to visit again. I may live in cowgirl country, high in the mountains but this is the place for timeless clothing and cutting-edge designs! read more

I walked into the shop wearing a jacket I purchased there few months prior. Wanted to find a blouse or some sort of top that would match the red piping on my jacket. One customer at the counter and one employee. I got no acknowledgment whatsoever as in a simple hello, I can help you in a few minutes or a goodbye when I left. It was very rude. I have bought numerous items at the Irish Shop and so have my family and friends. Will try again and hope this is an isolated incident. If not, then we are done. read more

Great selection of men's shirts, sweaters and jackets. High quality, great service. My wife got a soft wool sweater and a scarf for my mother. read more

They carry excellant quality clothes, wool and cashmere sweaters, scarves, coats, hats, capes ,Gold and silver jewrlry, and specialty items from Ireland, Scotland, Canada and Germany.The prices are from medium to high but you get what you pay for and in this store that is timeless, classey, style and grace. The owner and help genuinely care about their interaction with customers and they go the extra mile in ensure satisfaction.I don't live in Eureka so I purchase when I go there or they will ship on approval. I also do my Christmas shopping there . This year they have celtic lamps which I could not live without they were beautiful. read more
