9 reviews for Citrus
This place is so great. This is the ideal buzzed off of Sams Cafe impulse purchase store. I got some super fierce shoes here for fifty bucks.
Love it.
Very friendly service.
Love this place. The ladies here are SO nice and attentive, and the store has some really gorgeous purses, supercute shoes, and great-smelling candles. And while I wouldn't call any of the merchandise cheap, I was pleasantly surprised to find it not remotely overpriced. Def want to come back here again.
Love this store! My husband and I were in town celebrating our anniversary, and staying near the store. We went in to check it out, and man I fell in love! Everything in there is adorable and affordable! The ladies working there were super sweet and very helpful too! I ended up buying a beautiful candle, I can't wait to burn it! I will be returning on my next trip for sure!
Citrus is a fabulous little boutique filled with unique treasures and friendly employees. It's about three doors down from Sam's, and it's the most reasonably priced (and friendliest) of all the boutiques on Main Street in Tiburon.
The shop seems to specialize in knock-off handbags--the good kind that don't try to emulate the Coach label, but instead just mimic the style & colors of the best bags. I also picked up a sick pair of open-toed heels that would have cost me upwards of $80 somewhere else, but set me back only a cool $45 here.
Looking for an afternoon getaway with the girlfriends? Forget Napa or the Ferry Building--take the ferry to Tiburon, have lunch, and stop here for some cutesy shopping & attentive service.
It's like the thrill of the hunt, looking for the next little black dress to add to the collection, amazing statement bag, or perfect shade of lip gloss, and when you find it and pounce upon your prey, pay, and take it home, all those baser animal instincts we take for granted kick into high gear.
It is no surprise, then, that when I entered the boutique Citrus with plenty of fun, juicy purses and shoes that I myself would give in to my natural instincts. My friend Jess and I were perusing the merchandise: shiny patent royal purple frame satchels, jewel toned strappy sandals, white studded clutches with matching wallets and shoes, all very reasonably priced. We were in veritable shopaholic heaven. But it wasn't until we reached the very back of the store so that Jess could pay for a great braided leather white bag that I actually felt like I had died and gone to heaven: atop a crisp white shelf was the most perfect black leather bag. Cue parting clouds, bright glowing light, and angelic hymns.
I pulled the bag down from its place of honor and carefully plied it open. The rich smell of its leather seduced me as the design of the bag itself begged me to carry it in the crook of my arm. I asked the boutique owner Kelly if I could put the bag on hold. As politely as one could when breaking another's heart, Kelly told me no, she didn't hold any items in her store because she liked to keep the inventory moving. As I looked around I could tell that this wasn't difficult. Everything in the store was beautiful and ranged in style so that hippies and yuppies alike would find something to take home and treasure.
Myself being a proud yuppie, I naturally gravitated toward the most chic and expensive thing in the entire store. I held the bag protectively, not wanting any other potential buyer-predators to snatch it away from me. After a few minutes of quick calculations, I realized that the bag would not only make me incredibly happy now, it was an investment for my closet. I could no longer resist the siren song of Citrus.

I've never bought anything here, but I really like this place! All of their stuff is so cute, but I… Read more »
Another one-of-a-kind in Tiburon!
And for Marin County the prices are FABULOUS!
Citrus is a small shop, but with lots of interesting tidbits to explore and buy.
Let me tell you right off the bat - THIS IS NOT A GUY PLACE! Not unless your GF is really into cute & color & unique . . . and then you have found the PERFECT PLACE to pick up a little something for that special occasion (or just because you love her?) that will ring her chimes!
The shop is right in the middle of Main Street, water side. Service is great! These folks, of course, are here to sell you something, but they make the whole experience a friendly picnic sort of day.
Note: Prices are VERY REASONABLE FOR TIBURON.
Ditto the other reviews- the stuff here is cheap and incredibly cute.
All their shoes are under 48 bucks and the ones on sale are around 25 bucks! I got some hot YELLOW patent leather strappy sandals here for 40 bucks - what a deal!
Some of the purses/wallets and such are a little too girly/frilly/animal print/covered in hearts for my taste, but you can get some brand-name stuff like Marc Jacobs or Yves St. Laurent wallets and clutches for under 40 bucks here.
The sales lady said spring and summer are the times they get the most shoe selection - I'll be back to stock up next season!
We had time to kill while waiting for the Angel Island ferry, and my mom suggested we stop in here while the guys got coffee. What an adorable store! They have clothing, gifts shoes, slippers and the BEST handbags. I fell in love with a lemon yellow leather bag that I almost scooped up, but I would not be able to enjoy our angel island excursion with shopping bags. I also coveted this soft yellow and green stripped hoodie that I can only describe as "Yummy". It was so cozy looking. There's no way that I would find any use for it in the Valencia heat, so I took a pass on it. I highly recommend the handbags here. Definitely unique and one of a kind. The staff is very personable too (unlike some other stores on the street).
I went to Citrus for the first time the other day when I had some time to kill in Tiburon, and the Ladies in the store were super friendly AND extremely knowledgeable about their products. I bought a beautiful pair of earrings for my mom who I was meeting up with later that day. and they do complementary gift wrap that is just as adorable as the store. They told me that all of their cute summer shoes will be in stock soon, I can't wait to go back for a cute pair of shoes and a pair of earrings for myself.
