I procrastinated and somehow came up with the bright idea of wanting to make big heads on a stick for my son's graduation. The problem was that I was leaving town for said graduation the following day. Determined, I Called copy central and they were able to accommodate 4 (18 x 24) cardboard prints of my son's faces all within a few hours! On top of that customer service was amazing! I have several kids and several graduations to go, so I'm thrilled to now have a go-to spot for all my "big heads" and of course last-minute print jobs! Highly recommend! read more

I needed some documents printed out for my dad to sign while visiting him. This place was so convenient! You just email your documents to their in-house email and they print them out for you. $2.00 for the first document and $1.00 for additional. It doesn't matter how many pages. This is definitely going to be my "go to" place for quick and efficient printing. read more

10 stars to Copy Central and especially to Hannah! I had a last-minute project I had to deliver to my boss's boss's boss, and she did an extraordinary job printing up my order on short notice, with a smile, and in perfect condition. read more

I have printed things here many times over the past dozen years. I loved having a copy shop so close to my home. Recently I've noticed their prices have increased A LOT. It's exhorbitant to charge 30 cents for one copy on plain paper. And if it's printed from a digital file, 39 cents. If I'm only making one copy, fine. But if I need 500? Totally cost prohibitive. I can easily find copies for half and even a third of the price. I don't know what the problem is, copy central of el Cerrito, but you have lost my business. Stop gouging the people. read more

I love this place. Over the years, this specific Copy Central has printed documents, faxed documents (yes, some places actually still require things to be faxed to them, who knew?), fixed a slide deck I was struggling with and of course provided photocopying for me. The people who work here are friendly, call me by name (so much appreciated!) and are skilled and professional. read more

It's like a hole in the wall that you wouldn't expect to be such a good spot to bring business to! I have always used Costco for all of my photo prints - especially those I need really fast like tomorrow or same day prints so you could imagine how sad I was to learn that Costco was no longer doing that. I really have to thank Yelp for connecting me to Copy Central. I just needed four basic photos printed for a last minute gift so I searched through Yelp and crossed my fingers that one of the businesses would be able to print large photos on the fly... well Copy Central did not disappoint!! I arrived with my USB and less than 15-20 minutes later I had my much needed 12x12 and 8x8 photos in hand and they came out great!! They also do posters, banners, enlargements and shirts, which if I had known sooner I would have used them for many other gift ideas! I will definitely be back!! read more

I enjoy going into the El Cerrito location, it's like going into a candy shop. Always getting what I want. I love great service, great staff, I'm treated kindly every time I go in the store. They have an answer for all my needs. Thank you for you service read more

Really quick turnaround with a poster I needed (same day). Amazing quality and competitive prices.

Copy Central El Cerrito are stellar. Always willing to assist me whether on the computer or printer. Their prices have increased, not gone un-noticed, but the customer service keeps me returning. I appreciate their knowledge and patience. read more

This review is long overdue, but big shout out to Jake! I live far from my parents, and they needed help printing stuff out, scanning and prepping the documents to be mailed internationally. Jake took them through the process (with me on the phone), and made sure everything they needed was completed. Even after my parents left and needed to do more, Jake was super patient and willing to help when they came back! He was patient and super kind throughout the process. This was super impressive, especially with my elderly parents. Many mahalos, Jake! read more

After saying sayonara to my last printer, Copy Central became my go-to for my last-minute printing needs. I really like the convenience of emailing the files to be printed ahead of time and receiving a message when they're ready to be picked up. Their customer service is also top-notch, and their pricing is FAR more reasonable than UPS's. This particular one is also nicely located in a plaza where parking is not always difficult to find. I only used them for printing my moving labels, but I'm so happy that their service is still attentive and courteous as if I'm printing a huge document. read more

What a great experience!! We tried having envelopes printed (just addresses) at Staples and FedEx. Neither could accommodate. We called ahead to Copy Central and the welcomed us to come and have the printing done while we waited. Very much worth the time and value and it was done in a few minutes! Also the two associates were very confident in the work they were doing. We will definitely choose Copy Central first the next time we have printing or copying needs! read more

I DIY my own wedding invitations to save money. After multiple attempts in other printing shops like Staples, copy Central was able to print my wedding invitations. They first told me they were unable to print my smaller A2 response envelopes, but they went above and beyond to figure it out. I dropped them off on Sunday and picked them up two days later. The staff was so friendly and I feel like they went the extra mile for these special envelopes. I am 100% satisfied with their services. read more

Big ups to Richard for being so helpful and patient with our preschools Spring Fair banners!

Copy Central - Spring Fair Banner perfection! Thanks Richard! - Printing Services Near Me - El Cerrito, California

Had 100 posters printed and cut here, and they turned out beautiful! I went to 5 different copy stores to get proofs before settling on this one. Their print was very vibrant, high-detailed, and had no grain or streaking, all while being cheaper than any of the other locations I went to. The turn-around was also very fast, and the staff seems super friendly. 10/10 would recommend I'll definitely be a return customer! read more

Great local business - I've been supporting this Copy Central for years.

I highly recommend you support this business during COVID - and keep them safe! Say hi to Richard (manager) when you're there. read more

Who wants to work so close before Christmas? Not me. But Mary was working, and my coming to Copy Central on the most angst ridden day of the year, was easeful, and easy because Mary rocked out and provided awesome customer service. Alone. With no one else dealing with the people coming in. She was a pro. Thanks, Mary. Appreciate your groundedness, help, great customer service, and all around great service prior to the holiday. And props also go out to the guys who are usually here. Always helpful and professional and do their jobs great. Highly recommend Copy Central for your copying needs when you need if fast, and you're in el cerrito. Happy holidays! read more

Super disappointed that this isn't a reliable place. Emailed my order for a simple one page print job of a quote I was going to get framed and gift to a friend. When I arrived to pick it up they had a hard time finding it. They finally located it and it was just lying on the counter with other stuff on top of it. They rang me up without showing it to me but before I paid I noticed a mark on it which ended up being a piece of dried up food. I pointed it out and asked that it be fixed and they just picked the crusty food off and continued to ring me up. The crusty food left a stain so I explained that I would like a new copy please. When they finished the new copy, I brought it home and realized they gave me the incorrect size of my order. Such a hassle for the simplest order ever. read more

Best customer service ever. Called and asked if they could do a couple 36"x48" black and white prints. Said no problem, we went down to get the copies made and were in and out in five minutes. Val was extremely helpful and was helping multiple people at once. Will definitely be going back there because of Val's wonderful customer service. read more

Came here to print some photos awhile ago, I had the photos in my email. I had them print on a matted paper, two photos per paper. They had me cut the paper (to separate the two photos) with the paper cutter myself ... Is that normal photo printing shop practice ? When I order from Walgreen stores, it is already cut for me ... read more

Our company used to use an online copy service until we got fed up with the many mistakes they were making and decided to use Copy Central. They're local and super convenient. Not to mention Richard and his team are very responsive (you can even submit orders via email), courteous and prompt. Highly recommend! read more

Thanks Richard. you made a very tough job for somebody's birthday a very easy one and I printed a dozen photos from the past. Hoping to share all the memories with someone disabled who can't get out very much but is a great friend and Internet user Thanks read more

We came back to talk to Manager Richard about the mis-printed 10-page, supposedly, double-sided but printed single-sided by mistake which we didn't catch the error until the next day at the meeting. We had a bunch of print jobs to do and we were in a hurry. See previous review I posted a few days ago about the tricky copy machine closest to the public computers. It resets itself after every print job even after only 2 seconds. Good news. We are happy Richard refunded $26.07 for the cost of the mis-printed 25 copies. At first, he offered us free re-prints of 25 copies of the 10-page document but the print job was time sensitive and the meeting was already over. Updated to give this place 5 star. I know there are cheaper places for 3 cents a page on University Ave but this place is very convenient, close to home and has excellent service, a nice countertop to gather/organize our printed material and another countertop with a long cutter to cut to desired length of what we need, not to mention the use of a stapler, paper clips, etc. We've been regular customers of this place and we will come back to this El Cerrito place again when we need to make copies in the future. read more

After Staples messed up yet another one of our orders, I rushed over to copy central and they were able to save the day. Excellent customer service, quick, and above all - affordable! We will definitely be getting all of our printing done here from now on. read more

I've been using this place since I stopped going to Staples (Loved the staff but I'm boycotting them since they've started to offer postal services as an "added" service to customers without giving them the pay USPS employees enjoy) Although the place seems small they have the equipment to fill your photocopying needs including color xerox copies. They also have 3 computers that you can use and also print from them. The staff is helpful in guiding you through your needs--ie back to back copying, enlargements, etc. Although my needs have been simple so far I've noticed that they offer speciality orders like calendars, bookmarks (with your own photo and design), spiral bound copies and many more services. The prices are reasonable and they use the honor system by asking you how many copies you've made. Conveniently located in the same strip mall as YaoYa San, Ziping dollar store, Katanaya and Baskin Robbins. read more

These guys are super helpful and sweet! Ever since I moved to SF from Texas, I've missed that laid back hospitality and service where people take their time, are patient, friendly, and understanding. I felt like I was back at home at this Copy Central of all places. I visited a couple of other copy centers around Berkeley that were really crowded, grumpy, and hectic, but Richard Quevedo was super patient and understanding with me and the four other clients there at the time, and made sure to get everything right even though I'm an amateur. I'll definitely do my printing here! read more

A LONG LOST GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICE I stopped in Copy Central of El Ceritto location today (06/16/2012) to price the cost of ordering new business cards and company letterheads stationary. The clerk who was definitely inappropriately dressed for business informed me that he could not help me. He informed me that the manager wasn't around and that I would have come back next week, because "only the manager handles those thing." I felt unwelcome in the store and the clerk wasn't interested in contacting the main office to gather the information I needed. It seems to me that customers are the main reason why Copy Central is in business today, however if the staff are untrained in handling normal business transactions and allowed to dress unprofessionally, then time will only tell how long they will remain in business. read more

I had to come give another stellar review of this Copy Central. I needed a rush job done in the middle of the pg&e power outage. With limited information about when they would lose power, Val and Richard were multi-tasking rock stars juggling amazing customer service, printing, ringing people up, answering the phone - and all with a smile and grace. Thank you for always going the extra mile and doing it with great attitude and humor. I am so grateful to have you in my neighborhood. read more

I dropped in on a Saturday afternoon to print programs for a memorial. Daniel worked with me all afternoon and got the job done correctly. He went above and beyond. read more

I am very disappointed. If you tell your customer you are going to do something - either keep your promise or have common courtesy to pick up the phone & tell them you can't do it. Don't just let your customer make an inquiry on the promise you broke just to make another empty promise that you are going to break again. Will not use their services in the future. read more
