The atmosphere at the Evereve in University Village was incredibly uncomfortable during my visit on…read moreSaturday mid afternoon. It was clear that there was significant tension among the staff members. No one appeared happy and the employees seemed to be on edge. This lack of harmony directly impacted the service. The stylist would disappear for long periods of time. She forgot what I was looking for and what she was getting for me. The lack of communication was so poor that a shirt I wanted to buy was actually given to another customer while I was still in the fitting room. The styling assistance was truly insulting. I told the stylist that I wear a size 26 or 27 in bottoms and a small in tops. I was specifically looking for professional work clothes. Instead, the stylist ignored my requests and brought me casual sweatshirts in sizes large and extra large. She repeatedly brought me pants and jeans in a size 30 and insisted that I was larger than I am. When I finally tried on a pair of size 26 Paige jeans that fit perfectly, she told me she was surprised that they actually fit. This experience felt like a form of body shaming and gaslighting. A customer should never be treated this way.

I have seen this store a few times here and there and browsed a bunch of times but never bought…read moreanything from here. The style is so not me, unfortunately. But they do have some good quality clothing. I went in to buy some jeans but unfortunately, they were out of my size in most varieties ‍. Found a good pair from their sale rack though. I am not sure if I would come back here but might pop in from time to time.

I was searching on YouTube to find the most comfortable and flattering jeans available on the market and many influencers talking about Madewell. So I had to come out and try them out. Honestly, their jeans are amazing, in terms of both fit and comfort. These are some high-quality jeans. Got some pairs during their sale for great prices. They have jeans in multiple sizes, styles, colors, lengths, curvy/regular/plus. So I am sure that you will find something that will fit you. The shop's decor is minimalist. The staff is very nice and helpful. The only small thing I didn't like is that I wish I had got more help when I was trying out and needed help in finding the right fit given that there are so many options. The store is in the university village, so plenty of parking is available. Highly recommend this place!

Woot, Bloomie's has arrived in Seattle! I'm a fan of Bloomie's, so it's great to have one in the…read morearea, as this small concept store of Bloomingdale's offers some best sellers and classic pieces. I visited Bloomie's the first weekend it opened and the place was packed! Located in U-Village by Athleta and Shake Shack, it's easy to find with parking in the lot and in the garages. For opening weekend, there were plenty of staff on the floor, helping customers, as well as a greeter. There was even a dog event happening here when I visited as the store is dog-friendly. They were offering dog photos and bandanas for the fur babies, as well as treats. Gotta love that! This store is small, especially when compared to an actual Bloomingdale's since it's on a smaller scale. I've been to Bloomie's on the east coast and this location doesn't have as great of a selection as the east coast ones and is smaller too. However, it has some beloved brands, with women's apparel on the main floor and some men's and accessories on the second floor. They don't have everything or much, but the customer service is superb. Glad to have a Bloomie's in the area and would come back to see what trendy items are offered while shopping at U-Village.

This location consistently has a much larger in store selection, while other stores often feel limited in what is available to purchase the same day. I can usually find a wider range of styles, sizes, and pieces here, which makes shopping so much easier. The staff at this location is also noticeably better and friendlier. They are welcoming, helpful, and make the experience feel relaxed rather than rushed. The surrounding stores at University Village also add to the overall shopping experience, making it a great place to spend an afternoon. If you are choosing between Reformation locations, this one is absolutely worth the visit.

While one item was easily located, Abigal struggled to find the second item under the phone number used for the purchase. When I expressed reasonable frustration that a recent purchase couldn't be found, she became highly defensive, accused me of swearing at her (which I did not), and told me to 'calm down' despite my maintaining a normal volume. Once the item was finally found, she proceeded to lecture me about not using my mom's phone number for transactions. When I asked her to please just process the refund and skip the lecture, she repeatedly called me rude to my face and then continued to loudly call me rude to her coworkers as I walked out the door. No other employee intervened. Highly disappointing customer service.

Raquel provided absolutely amazing customer service. She went above and beyond, gave extra love and attention to my dog, and made me feel genuinely taken care of throughout the entire shopping experience. Her warmth, attentiveness, and eye for detail made shopping feel effortless and fun. I definitely walked away buying way more than I planned, and I blame her in the best way possible. This location already has a great selection and beautiful layout, but team members like Raquel truly elevate the experience. Huge shoutout to her for making the visit so enjoyable. I will absolutely be back.

There is the elevator for continence since we tend to have a stroller with us. If not, there is the escalator. Everything is located on the top floor. The woman's section takes up half the store. Then you have the children's and the men's department is tiny. There are two dressing rooms available and a bathroom. The dressing rooms tend to be a little cluttered. I was disappointed the bigger handicap room was used as stock, so I had to try on clothes with the door open so I can keep an eye on my toddler in the stroller. The sale section is always stocked up and organized. Service is okay, I found myself standing next to two associates just talking waiting to get their attention, didn't so I went to find someone else.
