I don't know what I'd do without Bobby at Diamond Sports Cards. He's been incredibly patient explaining the basics as well as the nuance of card collecting in the 2020s. It's much more effective for me to pepper him with questions rather than try to figure it all out on Reddit. He's incredibly passionate about the hobby. Not only that, but his prices are usually below eBay and others on the secondary market. In an era where so much has gone to eCommerce, it's fantastic to see a retail storefront provide true value and entertainment.

I returned after a year from my first very good shopping experience…read more This visit I was introduced to Rosie who was so very thorough, patient and so pleasant. I explained my foot problems as I had just returned from my Podiatry Dr Visit. Explained my need for the ideal shoe for work and for non-working days. All the while as I'm trying on shoes she set me up to try, she's juggling other customers graciously and successfully, also stocking shoes. I felt very relieved and happy with my purchases. I highly commend her in her customer service and professionalism. P.S. Several other employees on the floor were pleasant and greeting customers. It is nice to see that because it's not pleasant to shop in a store and employees act as if you're invisible. Thank you for having superb employees!! Sincerely, Katherine C.

I had a difficult criteria and she was not phased, met the challenge, and exceeded expectations. She's a great inventory of shoes, clothing, and accessories.

This an amazing resource for dancers.

If i could give 10 stars I would. Strap in for a story:…read more I am a beginner pointe adult student. I went (excitedly so) to my first ever pointe fitting at another store in San Francisco (won't drop any names). I got home and thought...you know...not once in my whole appointment did I ever get over the box. I get that I'm new to pointe but...is that normal? I also was given toe pads, a big toe cap, and toe spacers. And told because my feet are 2 slightly different sizes I'd probably need to buy 2 pairs of shoes (I did not). All this to say I tried on my shoes at home, filmed myself...and cried. THE FIT WAS AWFUL. I called Bourree and explained the entire scenario - asking if I could come in and show the shoe I'd been sold elsewhere. If they agreed with the shoe - great! I'd pay a fitting fee. If we could find something better - even better! I get new shoes. Staff spent over an hour with me going shoe by shoe. It was amazingly thorough, and SO personal. They really made me feel like a valid dancer with valid concerns and a future on pointe - rather than adult student. I probably tried 10+ shoes and NONE were a similar shape...or size...to what I'd been sold elsewhere. We also reduced my padding ...and I somehow felt MORE comfortable! I started with Nikolay nova flex in size 5 XXXX. I walked out of Bourree with Bloch Euro Stretch size 6.5 X. Talk about a difference. I immediately got over the box. No sickling, no wobbly ankles, just confidence and reassurance that IM not the problem - a "bad" fitting was. Pointe is expensive but I do appreciate the loyalty program the store has! You're getting the best bang for your buck you're ever going to get with pointe shoes. From the bottom of my heart thank you to Bourree for making me feel like a ballerina.

Nice spot that offers essential workers a discount!…read more Came here on Fourth of July with my mom and dog. We brought a life jacket for our dog and was able to include him in the kayak for no extra cost! We are beginner kayakers so it took us a while to get used to paddling and directing the direction of the kayak. The kayaking route was decent and safe. We didn't have to worry about currents taking us out to sea. Nice staff and nice little shop! We had fun!

I am just amazed that they can get that much inventory inside but when you look out back outside and you see all the boards, paddle boards, sail boards, all the boards in the back it's amazing to see. The place is well lighted and fully stopped, and the employees there are very happy and eager to help you. I would recommend these guys at any time to come in help you figure out what you need if you're a newbie or to help you if you're an old salt of the sea.

I've been buying and trading in my kids skis/boots here for years and renting my own gear. They…read moreare very knowledgeable about fit and willing to cut you a deal on a rental if you are traveling for say a week or so, but only actually skiing one or two days. It's more convenient to pick up skis at home and take them straight to the mountain than waiting with a kid to rent and miss time on the slopes. I was unsure about buying a pair of boots and he let me rent the boots and offered some cash back to buy them once I returned if I liked them. I didn't like the boots because of an ankle issue I have, but he knew which boots to recommend AND that they would fit the old bindings on my skis better anyway. I walked away happy. Special kudos to Chris who was super patient with my kid during a very busy day.

If you like name-brand outdoor clothing but not name-brand outdoor clothing prices, Marin Outdoor…read moreTrading Company should be on your radar. With a mix of consignment clothing and manufacturer samples, MOTC is a small, local shop with an enticing mix of offerings. Even though the consignment clothing would never count as cheap, every piece appears to be in great shape with no evidence of wear. The sample pieces, still sporting manufacturer tags, also sport a huge discount off their recommended sales price. I picked up a pre-worn, stylish fleece from The North Face for $30 and felt that price was reasonable and returned home to tell my son he should check the place out for the sort of outdoor men's pants he likes. The array of offerings is not dissimilar from what one finds at REI, but on a much smaller scale. There's other outdoor stuff here too - including a proprietor with whom one can engage in for everything fishing related. Despite its size, the store features clothes for all ages and genders as well as outdoor equipment. Whether you've outgrown something or just want something new or gently worn, if you're seeking outdoor clothing and like those name brands, MOTC should be on your radar.
