I thought the folks at CB2 were attentive. My bf and I walked in prior to the thanksgiving break…read more We were looking for a new couch and a new dining table. The lady have a pretty good run down of all the different sets of furniture. She even put together a couple of swatches for us Togo. I think it's important to buy from the store, or call back the associate that helped because as she mentioned, they wouldn't want to lose this physical location. I assume that is how they make their commissions/ sales goals.

This was, without question, one of the most disturbing and discriminatory shopping experiences I've…read moreever had. From the moment I entered the store on 8/3/26, one employee (a white woman with dark hair wearing a CB2 shirt) made me feel completely unwelcome. This lady was full of hate and straight up racist. I was simply shopping for the items I came to purchase and never said a single word to her. Yet throughout my visit, she repeatedly glared at me, rolled her eyes, turned her back every time I got near, and appeared to laugh with another employee while making negative facial expressions in my direction. I will never forget how they both look because the store is small and it was impossible not to notice the repeated behavior. At one point, she loudly said, "Ugh, I want to go home." And turned her back towards me again. I left feeling targeted because of my orientation. Whether CB2 intended it or not, that's how this employee made me and my family feel, and it completely ruined what should have been an ordinary shopping trip. What makes this even more upsetting is that this happened in Berkeley, a city that prides itself on diversity and inclusion. I am a fifth-generation Berkeley resident. I attended Berkeley schools, live here, work here, and have shopped on Fourth Street for years. Never in all my years have I experienced this level of hostility while simply shopping. I have never seen this employee before, and I sincerely hope no one else has to experience what I did. CB2 should take this complaint very seriously. No customer should walk into a store and leave feeling demeaned, unwelcome, or discriminated against because of who they are. I walked into CB2 expecting to shop. I walked out questioning how many other people this employee has made feel the same way. It was appalling, deeply upsetting, and one of the worst retail experiences I've ever had. I will not be returning until CB2 demonstrates that it genuinely takes customer discrimination and employee conduct seriously.

They give store credit...guhreat! Just what I don't need! No refunds should be posted clearly. Now that I know, I will not make the mistake of buying from here again. Be careful before buying anything here- you might just be stuck with it or out your money if their merchandise doesn't work for your needs.

If you need a special gift or are furnishing your glamor pad, this spot has what you need…read more For many years they have curated a beautiful and high quality selection of house-wears, jewelry and gardening items. I love to stop by and window show and seek some inspiration. Sell some stock before you visit, the prices are in-line with the high quality! Half joking, they actually have a wide range of price points so you can likely find something whatever your budget. 4th Street shopping district in Berkeley is a great spot to visit, plan a longer visit and have a bite too. It makes the moderately challenging parking situation feel worth it.

Wow! This place is pricey. But they do have a great selection of top quality consumer kitchenware…read more If you are in need of a $200 pot, this is the place to come. The staff is extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. They are able to order items that are not currently in stock. Parking at fourth Street can be challenging, especially on the weekends. But there is a lot directly behind this place. It is crowded though.

This was very much the visit that made me realize I don't especially like Sur La Table's vibe…read more I walked in looking for Le Creuset. They didn't carry much but what they did have was in Cerise and otherwise they heavily leaned Staub. I know Staub is a bit heartier, but it's so unattractive I can't get past how washed out their pink color is. Walking around the store after being greeted, I found it organized a bit oddly, with a minimal Valentines Day section. They didn't have the Stone Lain Stella Porcelain Round Dinner Plates I planned on checking out during my visit but they did have the pink heart plate, which I promptly noped out of when I saw how glitzy it was. The location has limited selection and in my opinion is only worth a drop in if you're in the area and a fan of Sur La Table. Personally I like the Williams Sonoma vibe and style more, so I likely won't be back.

Really cool mix of edgy, organic, and stunning quality across the board. My partner and I have gotten permanent jewelry from them three times. One year & two years later our bracelets have held up so well, no breaks. Sienna, who does their permanent jewelry, is lovely and super attentive to detail. When we went in for our newest bracelets, they kindly cleaned our other ones, as the stones had gotten a little grubby in the past year. They have a wide ranging selection of chain styles and tons of beautiful charms to add on. We were also able to request a particular stone/setting in advance. All of the sales staff are friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable! We have shopped at their original Oakland location during busy hours when they have gracefully been juggling multiple customers and still made the point to check in with us. Their Berkeley space is super open with lots of room for browsing. We tried on a number of rings and they were so helpful in explaining different settings, stone cuts, etc. I wilk be shopping here for years to come!

I have mixed feelings about this store. If you're someone who regularly shops at the regular Serena…read more& Lily store, there are steals to be had here. If you're not, you're better off going to Home Goods (better selection, better prices)! What you pay for with a store like S&L is curation, service, and the store experience (inspiration, design ideas). You don't have that here. The worst part is you can't return anything. I bought a pair of Euro shams here for about $100 then discovered they were the wrong shade of blue... stuck with them now. I've been here about 5 times and these are some sample prices: - Shams $45-55 each (indoor and outdoor) - Lamps $300 each - Nightstands $500 each - Sofas $2000 each

Seriously, it's hilarious, people line up down the block, sipping coffee until the big warehouse doors open. The staff are French and Belgian, and their accents add to the European, chaotic, friendly charm. Bring boxes or bags, because you have to lug your finds around with you and get them to your car. The prices are low because it's a warehouse sale, not retail. They usually have glass, ceramics, linens, and kids items. Vive la France!

It's very cute and cozy in the evening/at night, especially after the rain and with those lights. It's not a big street and there's a limited number of shops, but it's nice to take a quick stroll down. I'll be honest, none of the shops here are really from brands or stores I would normally shop at (lol rich people stores), so we really didn't stop by a lot of them and most of them were closing for the evening anyways (I have learned that lots of things in the Bay Area close quite early). There's some street parking and some parking lots but it looked quite packed. Not sure what it's like on a non-rainy day.
